Most people go to Africa to be "white saviors" and not to actually help but to feel better about themselves and virtue signal on social media.  We are actually still robbing Africa so we should be helping them by paying them back and no longer exploiting resources from the continent or determining who their leaders are, what their borders are, etc.

Do you just use this video where a lunatic fringe hits Arnold Schwarzenegger as a basics to raise a topic to describe Africans. We see people (both black or white)attack superstars and celebrities some on stage, football pitch, movie set etc.
That video is of no significant and from what the guy was shouting you would know he is either a lunatic or someone seeking fame or popularity knowing his action  would go viral.
And beside we all need help no man is an island we all need some one for a collective universal growth no matter our race

There were a lot of money drowned in Africa and not much has changed. I think that the most basic reason why they are underdeveloped is lack of education and the overall low IQ in these region. Think about it. It doesn't matter how much money you'll give to an idiot, he'll lose it anyway and eventually be poor again.
Not all of Africa is poor and not all Africans are poor. It's just that there's more dumb and lazy people there than in other parts of the world.

The root cause of 99% of the issues that the Africans face today is the uncontrolled population explosion. People are afraid to say this truth, because they will be branded as racists. The Africans need more IUDs and condoms. Sending food aid is not a permanent solution. Are we going to send the food aid (in increasing amounts every year) for the next 1,000 years?

You hit the nail on the head.

West needs to cut all help to Africa.  All. 

Once you do that, all corrupted politicians will leave or be killed by their own citizens.  As it is now, they wait for IMF loans, then divert them to offshore accounts they control while the poor folks continue to suffer.

They have enough resources to support themselves.

I totally agree, if these people are hungry now, why do they breed a lot? Helping them with food or money will not solve this problem. If they don't want to be hungry, they have to use condom.

But the people who ruling there kept them at this stage until now,when they are struggling too hard to survive each day of their life then how they can think about getting studied or changing the condition of their nature.

I think IMF want to give loans so that in future they can further exploit this continent.
Overpopulation is a big issue and that is amplified by uneducated people. they elect and reelect the corrupt government that further exploit the country.

As education goes up, specifically female education, birth rates go down.  If you live in an agricultural setting, it makes survival and financial sense to have many children but you can't even learn if you are sick or hungry so food and water systems have to be maintained first and foremost.

There is a racist post

[Daniel91]

I don't think that we help people in Africa to much.
In my opinion, we don't help them in the right way.
We shouldn't send help to the governments but to individual people in order to help them to create the foundation for their personal life.
I personally helping a african girl to finish school and I think this is the best way to help, personally and directly, avoiding corruption of governments and organizations.

You should've include the CORRUPT government. there's a lot of help coming from around the world(which I think is too much) which is given to the government.
decades have past and nothing changed. I know it will be hard but a total change of governance will help them a lot.

I've read some pretty good reports about how companies that are trying to start on the African continent can't grow due to the amount of charity/aid that is being sent to Africa in the name of helping people.

Think about this sort of situation: You start a company in Africa that makes shoes, handmade, and you're doing pretty good. Not selling the shoes for too much, but enough for you to begin expanding the operations of the business. You go ahead and hire two employees and buy a sewing machine to cut costs and manufacture shoes faster.

But wait -- the US government just sent over hundreds of thousands of shoes to your city, no one is going to buy your shoes when they can get shoes for free. You're entire business and livelihood have been destroyed by charity, as you're unable to compete with free.

Businesses can't thrive in an environment where 'free' is the cost for some goods. You're unable to innovate and develop a stable economy with this constant influx of free goods from other countries trying to be kind to you.

Would probably be better for this not to happen at all, and just let the countries in Africa develop their goods and their economy.

I personally wouldn't say the whole of Africa should be judged by a single video of one person being an asshole. If that was the case, the US should be criticized the most, because all the videos of people being assholes.

jes i think this lunatic showed us that we are threating africans wrong, help them continously will not solve any problems,

40 years ago africans wanted just food,

today they want lambos for themselves and their grandfather.

muslims were 100% right humans are nothing divine.

we westerners should admit that the muslims were right.

they breed because they are agicultural soviety their children are the workforce on their farms, thats a doom cycle that breaks together every 30 years.

[eddie13]

About the only way we could help Africa is to run their governments for them and help the economy by starting and running business there where they can be employed but they won't let us do that so it's a no-win situation..

Many developed nations are build with African wealth and I see what is happening to African nations and the under-development as injustice and human wickness to each other. It is time for Africa nations to start seeing themselves as equal to other race and that will eliminate the type of mindset they have.

[TheCoinGrabber]

Stupid guy just hurt himself. Arnie barely felt it.   But yes, just leave them alone. Stop all aid, close the borders and let them sort it out.

Even AIDS barely make a dent.

+1 I think I've read a similar sentiment from this book, just haven't skimmed through it to confirm.

Problem is, would the "democratic" Western governments and multinational companies allow that when they benefit from this arrangement?
