Topic: Africa isn't poor - Africa is being raped. - page 4. (Read 1139 times)

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.

This is why Africa is poor. 



The only way you are ever going to be able to do anything about it is to take the facts into consideration and plan accordingly instead of trying to blame it on everything and everyone else..

Mate, Africa is one of the most economically rich countries because of its natural resources. The political leaders and tycoons are the people you could actually blame for this but I can see that Africa is really a reach country.

There is something needed to be changed in Africa and I think it's the overall system. What I hate about the people in Africa is that some of them are too manipulative and they always do their best to gain from the other's people innocence.  By doing their best to stop the people to learn things and study to have a pearl of great wisdom and education. People in Africa need a proper education to stop the leader to dominate them.

Also, the laborers are poor because they can't have the fruit they deserve. One of the problems in Africa is the wage. People tend to work a lot but not getting paid we can consider enough.

Please make a people power and fight about your rights. Someone needs to initiate and stop this oligarchy.
