Topic: Africa isn't poor - Africa is being raped. - page 4. (Read 1099 times)

I don't call Africa poor because Africa is more like of my country, Philippines. And in my country, we were also got raped by our leaders. My country is being surrounded with many forms of water, yet we still got water shortage on all places. My country has the finest land of all and you can plant rice on rice fields and you can get abundant harvest yet, we still need to import a lot of rice form different countries. My country has a lot of resources, yet we are not the miners of our own lands, it is always the foreigners. My country consists of 7000+ lands, yet we are not the businessmen of our own to produce works for my countrymen. Well, we still more like of your country. We're the same.

so how did they actually reach those places in Africa which most don't even have internet connection? how was the IQ exam conducted again? and assuming this image is accurate as well as your statement which concludes  "Poverty is directly related to IQ", then why do high IQ countries lunch wars for Oil and natural resources? why send a dozen of people with high IQ to kill dozen of people with low IQ for Oil ?

not sure which IQ frequency i have to tune in to understand the logic  

I think someone who has an average IQ score would figure this shit out by themselves  

---

now let me break it down  to you real simple.

Most African countries are still colonized, after WW2 the nature of colonization has changed, you do not need to have troops on ground, just control the government, create some opposition armed troops, create parallel armies and protect the government , grab them by the balls and take full control of resources, and should you lose control, launch a war against them in the name of war against terror/protection of civilians,mass destruction weapons and the list goes on.

There are many examples out there, the latest was Libya.

it was on a roll, Gadaffi decided to take full control and not supply Italy and some other countries with cheap/free gas and oil , he was also planning on building major harbors that would take a huge cut from the EU sea trade, as well as one of the largest airports in the region, these and many other reasons put EU in some competition danger, they tried to negotiate with him, he refused, they made up all sort of lies and B.S about him, "NATO flew 26,500 sorties" just to "protect innocent people who gaddafi suddenly after 42 years decided to kill   " and you all know the rest of the story " i suppose ".

and they will do the same shit to every government that tries to take full control of it's country's resources, because they need those resources, IQ alone means NOTHING.

Libya has been going through a mess for the past 8 years, ISIS were all over the place, not a single gas/oil field was touched    almost everything has stopped at one point (hospitals, markets, airports ,etc,,) but not a single gas / oil pipe that delivers to EU or "sells" to U.S was touched.

use some simple logic, and you should be able to understand how things actually work, and trust me, they are usually way different from what your local news tell you.

I would not go to as far as the OP tho, yes we as people take a large chunk of responsibility , we can't deny it, but sure as hell it has nothing to do with us having  low IQ, it's more like the "High IQ countries" still occupy our lands.

Yes I agree Africa is not poor as a continent, lots of countries in Africa are bless with natural resources, and also Africa is bless with an agarian climate an soil, corruption and bad political leadership is the rape Afric countries are going through, until there is a revolution this will keep happening.

I also disagree with this notion that African are poor. I think Africa is rich though they cannot really enjoy that riches because of the greediness of their leaders that do sold they interest. If the leaders will have change of mind Africa will be the best place to be.

There's many reasons why Africa is in the state that it is and many of them have been mentioned in the thread. Take slavery for instance. Slavery did not start because white people were hunting for black men, putting them in chains and transporting to the US, the UK, and other countries. Most slaves were simply bought. THey were treated like property in their local villages and sold by the elders for alcohol, knives, and other things the white people were bringing.
The next question could be: why aren't they developing? If you go to Uganda or Nigeria you'll see that the people there aren't interested in education or building anything. They live a happy life drinking homemade alcohol, taking drugs and feasting together. While drunk they conceive children that later run around chasing chickens and goats all day and watching their parents get wasted. I can bet you that these countries aren't going to get anywhere in the next 50 years.

Every African country has been colonised by at least one European country in the past ,and even after the indipendance the control still exists in form of treaties ,cultural and economic agreements , language and so on , for example Morocco still pays an anual feel to France ,lets them use coast for extensive fishing that kills local fishermen , forces the country to have french as a language of any form scientific studies , they even pushed us to add an exta hour to our local time (was GMT ,now uts GMT+1) for some economical reason. And here i am struggling to write this in English because i was forced to learn in french.

This is the sad reality that continent like africa was being tagged as one of the poorest country in the world when the truth is this country is somewhat the one of richest in everything world needs,if people only knows how to value each resources for sure this cant be this same situation

Some countries in asia also has this tags but the truth is they are being raped by big countries who take over their places long time ago until now

True. But we are overpowered and being used simply because we allow them to. It is the masses that are putting people into their positions and seeing them rape the nation over and over again and yet we put the same kind of people again and again. People are afraid to fight for their own rights and they are fine getting drops from barrels of goodness which are supposed to be theirs.

The story is always the same. Everyone feels Africa is a third world continent. But that's not it. Africa shouldn't be viewed that way but sadly it is. No doubt Africa is one of the richly blessed continent just that, these resources  are mismanaged by our leaders. It's quite unfortunate. This is why I'm happy to embrace financial revolutions like Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies. Let's see what the future holds.

Anyway, Great to see a post about Africa right here on Bitcointalk 

Not only African nations experience this. Most of asian and south american nations too. And sadly, in many cases, the rapists are no other than our own governments.

     It's not about the region itself. It is about history, political system and perception of reality. These are past mistakes that are currently being perpetuated. This is a chain that can not be broken. It has been strongly solidified by corruption, exploitation and lying. You cannot say that Africa is poor. You can say that the resources are wrong managed. Obviously, there are indicators of resource mobilization capability and as you can see it is a circle. I strongly recommend the book that is called "Why Nations Fail" . The central idea binds the concept of vicious circle and virtuous circle, along with in-depth analysis.

doesnt matter in my oppinion if the society gets developed africans will become smart as indians and could also be used for engineering stuff. instead of mining like dogs in the pits.

secondly it doesnt matter how smart you are, if you dont print the money you are selling your time

there are societies where the money printers are basically idiots, and low lives and just print money and have/expects others to be smart for them

Eddie your first IQ graph is wrong.
The second one correct.



Main issue in Africa is not the IQ but the deep rooted culture of corruption.

This is a great article how africa changed.

Everyone trying to cheat everyone.

Training, to an extent.

Iodine deficiencies during childhood are a major cause of low IQ in Africa and the Middle East; also to an extent, genetics.

You think that is what is being taught in western school? You are terribly mistaken..
In school they teach white guilt and extreme PC culture at the expense of demonizing science..

Correct..








Correct.
Poorer whites "living in trailer parks" tend to have lower IQs than rich whites living in affluent neighborhoods.

This is not blaming any race for anything
Their are very high and very low IQ examples of people from all races. Their are plenty of very low IQ asians and high IQ blacks, but this is about averages
and the average IQ of a country correlates almost perfectly to the success of that country..



They are loan-sharking African countries and will control your entire country, not just take your oil..





This one shows Greenland.
It must have been omitted from the other one.

Not all datasets are exactly the same but they all show a very similar pattern..




Denying the science is going to do nothing but keep Africa as poor as possible.
The only way you will ever find a solution to the poverty problem in Africa is if you recognize the true causes in order to develop a solution.


Go ahead and call me a Jewish supremacist if you can't handle the truth..  


Most importantly OP..
Stop blaming it on everyone else!

Interesting ... this ancient cradle of humanity - also the stupidest locale on the globe.

PS: What is IQ of the Greenlanders? Why are they left out of the scores? Grey is such a dull color.

Yea. The Chinese lends money to African countries. Then, when we can't pay back, they take their money back in form of our natural resources.

Looking at Africa as a whole is about the same as looking at Europe as a whole. Each country has it's own sources of wealth and problems and they differ vastly from state to state. You can't compare Egypt to Sudan just like you can't compare France to Romania as all nations and both groups have vastly different cultures and GDPs. I agree that there's a certain misconception about Africa in the West, but that's what they get taught in school and there's a whole lot of whitewashing of their history and demonizing of them as peoples. You're basically taught that Africa is/was poor and helpless and is/was full of savages until they were colonized, which isn't really the truth. Demonizing races or peoples is the easiest easy you can get away with abusing them and justifying invasions and colonization etc and it still happens today, but focus has shifted to the Middle East because those are the wealthiest oil-rich nations and are the easiest ones to demonize and invade.



It's not really but that's what a lot of white supremacists like to tell themselves to justify abuses. What's the source for this study and how were they tested exactly? You will find that a lot of low IQs go hand in hand with poverty and a lack of education, and there are a whole load of reasons for that. Without access to a good education you're not going to have a very high IQ and the cycle repeats itself. I'm sure if you took the IQs of white American's living in trailer parks and in poverty you'd find they wouldn't score very well, but we wouldn't blame their race for that.

Name me some African brands... Natural resources aren't indicators of country wealth

i definately dont share, this oppinion africans can also be trained to solve IQ score tests to score them as good as asians or westerners

thank god i was able to free myself from racist upbringing in school.
