    You should rejoice brother and know that the spirit of ? is within you and is within all Black people. That sinking feeling that you felt when you saw that racist picture is just your first instinct that says that picture is wrong and a gross misprepresentation of Blacks/Africans. Africa is under-developed because capitalism was not created by us but by others. Capitalism need poor people to survive and now unfortunately Capitalism today explots Blacks/Africans. All those black berry's and iphones that are popular today owe their existence to a metal called coltane that is now one of the major causes of war/stife in the Congo and Sudan.

    racist pictures, TV, shows and other mass media are only used to break our spirit and divide us. It's the game that they play.

    And Africans aren't smart enough to figure out how to deal with these problems? Why are they such perpetual victims?

    It's the farthest behind. It's categorically the worst continent.

    No. believe it or not I'm not a very religious person. A couple of months back I discovered the teaching of ancient Egypt and some Botswana tribes in African and found that they had a more complete story about religion and creation than anything I have read before so naturally I refer back to their beliefs. But like all religion it takes a great leap of faith to believe.

    how is the idea that your soul has to weigh no more than a feather supposed to help Africa?

    the egyptian religion sucked

    it enslaved most of the population, produced ? ? royalty, and got its ass handed to it by the Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Muslims

    What should be done at this point? Globalization was supposed to, over time, be some kind of equalizing force to poor, lesser developed countries to gain money and power. It seems to be working in Asia. China and India have both upped their standing in the world considerably, and these days China in particular is really pulling ahead of America and Western Europe in some areas.

    So if we forget Australia because they're not a real continent and I don't know what their situation is (and seriously who cares) you now got geopolitical swag going on in The Americas, in Europe, and in Asia. Why is Africa not seeing an impact? And I know it can't just be that Africa is full of poor people living in 3rd world hellholes, because I've seen what India looks like. It's just a ? sea of poor people literally enveloping their primitive streets and markets. What's holding Africa back?

    .

    Good question eventhough you meant it as an insult.

    Most black people are kind and just want to live in peace. As opposed to whites who are majority satanic in nature and seek to destroy.

    Yes colonialism, slavery blah blah blah caused or at least jumpstarted Africa's demise but the question of "why didnt you idiots do anything to stop it?" is a fair one.

    I mean you know crackers aint ? . So what you gonna do to make sure it doesnt happen anymore?

    Why do you affiliate yourself with white people then if you don't share their views? (white is not just a skin color, it's a way of being)

    this film explores the evolution of propaganda and public relations in the United States, with an emphasis on the "elitist theory of democracy" and the relationship between war, propaganda and class.
    Includes original interviews with a number of dissident scholars including Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Peter Phillips ("Project Censored"), John Stauber ("PR Watch"), Christopher Simpson ("The Science of Coercion") and others.

    According to Lester Thurow:

    "As the world breaks up into quasi trading blocks, all of the developing world is going to face a problem of market access."

    "...in the last half of the [twentieth] century, the growth in trade has been almost completely between developed countries."

    first off africa was home to one of the most powerful civilizations on the planet for almost 3000 years. western civilization is only 2000 years old, so the west still has about another 1000 years before it can even compare to the apex of african civiization.

    and ftr all of africa is not poor and underdeveloped. see the real Africa:

    Yep, all this and the fact that, sadly, Black people get too comfortable easily.

    Good post, things in Africa are getting better, after the many years of crackas causing wars and ? ? up after colonialism, not to mention white devils supporting brutal dictatorships in Africa for a long time. Just like how the USA is funding and supporting dictatorships all over the Middle East.
