every other continent of this planet managed to develop so why can't Africa?!?!
People are too lazy to work. I was chatting to a bloke who took a job in an African factory. His equipment was a stick which he had to use to wake people up with.
And Slipper:
Ultimately though, it's pretty tricky for a society to advance when some heavily tooled up white buggers turn up and take the strongest men away in cages to work on sugar farms on Santa Domingo. It gets even more difficult when they impose their own puppet governments, strip your nation of resources and take all the money back home with them. Then, to make matters worse, when there's no money to spend, they really **** you over by lending you some at nasty rates of interest, the kind of rates of interest that can only really be serviced by taking another loan....
This sounds like Ireland in the late 1800's but exchange black and white for Catholic and Protestant. Things evolved but for whatever reasons, blacks dont seem to be able to run African countries.
