If they really wanted to live in a civilized society, or have a real modernized culture, their leaders would put the people to work, and educate their populations so that skills could be taught, and the raw materials and natural resources could be harvested. It would be nice if a country that wasn't so dependent on Americans and other countries would simply quit bleeding us dry, and get off their butts, educate their own people, and start developing their nations instead of just demanding more and more from the outside world. I for one am more than happy to let these people become modern on their own. They will do it, if they are left alone, and don't get our help. That's the way you get people to start working and creating, cut them off, and they'll either move on, or start producing.
Wazup,homie? We be gonna do diz cause dat be de only way dey be lernin Eubonics,you know what I be saying?
I actually believe we will see a combination. Africans will soon sue us for "the damage caused by taking the best and brightest from their continent" for use as our slaves. Reparations for the Africans, I am sure some lawyers have already thought of it.
But we have a Republican in the WH so it's okay, right???
This is getting ridiculous. I don't like to see much spent on social/welfare type programs, but if it's going to be spent, screw Africa and spend it on our own people, we've got plenty of people here in the US that need the money/help as bad or worse than somebody overseas who is just going to end up hating us 10 years down the road. It could also be used to payoff our national debt.
Your right, it will end up in the hands of warlords and dictators and the local thugs.
