Does the patient dog still eats the fattest bone?

[Rebirth01]

Years ago Africa was raped and robbed of their people and their wealth by the European countries during the slave trade era. The African countries were scared and patient with the evil done to them by the European countries until their people and wealth were forcefully taking away. Yes they were patient and not fighting back because the invaders came with superior fire power and Africa lost their dignity. Of recent the Ukrainian people too were patient until Russians invaded their country, Iran people too were patient until the US and Israel invaded their country, the venezuelan people also waited patiently until their president was kidnapped. So does the patient dog still eats the fattest bone?

Honestly speaking the European did unimaginable things in Africa that if it where to be done to them, till the end of the world they will never find a place in there heart to forgive Africa.
During this slave trade era, African went through alot in the hands of the white but i can  not stand here to channel to blames to the whites but rather all blames should be channeled to African leaders that believes in practicing selfishness of sincerity,  if not that it won't have been easy for the Europeans to penetrate in and gained superiority over the blacks. This same corrupt practices is still the reason why Africa is still the way it is even with riches available.

My problem is that with all of these Africa has gone through, most African leaders don't still have the humanity enough in them to develop the African countries and give their citizens the best they deserve, considering the fact that the African people have suffered tremendously from different afflictions. If you go across the African countries like Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Nigeria you will still see abject poverty and underdevelopment staring you right in front of your face. So for me I really don't want to blame Europeans for any of the underdevelopment that we are currently facing in Africa, some other continent in the world suffered literally the same Fate with us, but they've licked their wounds and gone far ahead to develop themselves, we cannot continue to cry about the past when we can do something presently to change our trajectory.

Anything that was not Europe/Asia was raped and robbed.   Now we have some robbers telling other robbers to go back where they came from. 

I have never heard the saying "The patient dog gets the fattest bone", and it doesn't make much sense.  Patience would get you scraps.  A better analogy would be two bulls sitting on a hill overlooking a herd of cows.  The younger bull says "Let's run down there and fuck one of those cows!" and the older one says "No, let's walk down there and fuck them all."  The patient bull gets the most action.

If you understand that the problems Africa is facing are caused by European politician. You should not place all the blame on African leader. Because ultimately, they are merely puppet government set up to serve the interests of the West, not the interests of the African people.

You might ask why they did not stand up and fight back? Believe me, if those African leaders dared to oppose them, they would not hesitate to overthrow them and replace them with a new puppet government. That is not the solution

To achieve that, the people of Africa need solidarity and help from outside sources such as Russia or China. Otherwise, you will never escape the domination and enslavement of the West.

A patient dog will definitely eat the fattest bone, however, this same dog that has been waiting patiently should also be engaged in doing other things that could keep him occupied, such a dog must be well positioned in a manner that stand upright for an opportunity to come, we cannot be expectant while doing nothing in order to meet up with the standard of what is coming ahead, this is why we have to continue with learning with the expectation of things that are better to come, patience is the key in most cases when we faces challenges.

I had to ask AI what this meant:

Someone is telling you (or themselves) that waiting strategically beats acting impulsively, and the biggest rewards go to those who can hold out for them.

Now is makes sense.

The patient dog gets the fattest bone because the ambitious dog got the meat.

I get the point you're making about patience and history, alot of powerful nation today has built wealth and influence through exploitation, control in the past and colonisation,so the debates about migration and borders sometimes looks contradicted to people. Then when talking about "The patient dog gets the fattest bone", what the message is trying to get across to us is that, if your moving with a long term strategy or procedures and your thinking is calm it often brings a good result than rushing because of haste or emotions. Alot of mistakes that happens in life is because, people rush into or go for quick rewards instead of thinking or planing ahead of time

[Findingnemo]

I don't think the quote applies to this kind of situation, the one who got the patient will likely succeed and this research has been done on different times and proved the one who wait to get their rewards even if it is provided on the instant with the claim of double rewards then one who waited got it doubled but after 20 or 30 years the one who choose to stay in the test became successful in their career too than others.

OP this parable is to teach contentment and not to endure oppression, if you're patient in your draft and stay consistent one day your will enjoy your sacrifice and determination, that's what this parable means. Africa are not longer rule directly by the white men yet Africans leaders could not rule their people, they still depend on foreign aids to survive, Africa or Ukraine are not a good example for this parable.

If any one is oppressing you, you have to speak up and fight bad don't wait because your patient with the condition, hit who hit you and tolerate who tolerate you.

[Frankolala]

The Africa leaders gave the Europeans the opportunity to do whatever, they like back days because they're greedy and corrupt. Your forefathers sold their own people out to the white men for mirror and other useless items which the white men used to deceive them. Though, money was involved. The patient dog eats the fastest bone goes to investment like bitcoin and other long term investment.

[Odusko]

Is patience a tool for development? What the heck can we achieve with patience instead of real work? The reason why European countries and other first-world countries did well is because of their determination to go against all odds to secure the future of their generations through industrialization, unlike Africa and other third-world countries, where the leaders right from the beginning have been corrupt, heartless, and brutal to their own citizens. What African leaders are doing that hiders the development of our countries is worse than whatever the colonial masters did during the slave trade. The question is, who was trading the slaves to the slave masters?

In this modern world, being too patient can sometimes make you miss the whole food completely. The patient dog eats the fattest bone saying still sounds nice, but today many situations move too fast for endless patience alone. Sometimes people or countries stay quiet hoping things will improve peacefully, but before they realize it, the damage is already done. So I think patience is good, but people also need wisdom, awareness and the courage to protect themselves when necessary.

I don't understand the quote and it's new to me. But about these bigger and stronger countries trying to invade others. It's always about the resources that they have and they can profit from. They show how powerful they are and then what makes them the winner if ever they start the war. But the good side of this, when the underdog and the invaded country fights back, they show not only to bark but who these invaders can't put under their leadership and not going to give up their sovereignty.

Maybe it has to do with anybody who eats a bone becomes a patient in the ER.

The proverb is not new, and for me, it does not relate to the history OP relates it to. A patient dog does not wait to do nothing; it is sure to be planning and strategizing how to take action diplomatically. It's like saying, "he who laughs last, laughs the loudest". I tend to relate it to stories of success. As per the example OP gave, the patient's dog will choke and die.

And the dogs don't really eat bones to be honest because they'll be choked for taking it literally of what the quote is.

It seems like an idiom that's really deep into your culture. But thanks for emphasizing the meaning of it. So it's about how a country reacts diplomatically and strategically when they're being apprehended by other nations.
