Your opinion seems just as unfair as the person you replied too. You can't blame the west for the problems in Africa, especially since colonialism effectively ended in most of the continent over 1/2 a century ago.

And maybe the people wouldn't be drowning if they didn't cross the sea in the first place...

Do you honestly think 50 years is enough time to econimically rise from the exploitations of colonialism given the circumstances of the continent?

 

Walk a mile in their shoes is an idiom that I feel you should highly consider.

Look at India. Granted that has been nearly 70 years, and they still have a long way to go. But give it a decade or two, it'll be where China is right now. But do you believe most African states will be in that position in 10-15 years anyway? It has a long way to go, and Europe cannot be blamed forever for their misfortune.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
