Most of these countries were fukked after colonialism. The euros left and took all there people who ran shyt with them. They did not train the folks from those countries. They just left.

This is like you showing up to a job in a factory and the person who you are going to replace just leaves without training you. Now think of this on a country scale.

This was done on purpose so that those countries are dependent on the country that once ruled them. Then what happens is that they are at the mercy of the IMF and the western countries for supplies and training or building infrastructure. It is a cycle of economic slavery without the western countries being called out on it because it looks like they are not pulling the strings when they really are.

I agree with you 100%, except that the African nations can seek out African Americans to get the same level of expertise that they get from outsiders. African Americans have professional people and colleges and universities that are being totally underutilized by the Africans. Right off the top of my head; I can only recall Ghana and Zimbabwe as being countries that have actually attempted to lure African Americans help in their rebuilding efforts.

Slave mentality

Damn that Post Traumatic Slave syndrome thread is that much more relevant as it affects our African brothers and sisters as well.

First of all the guy is ignorant. Second of all the idiot doesn't even realize that it was slave trading and colonialism that put the Africans in their situation. Finally, since he is begging to be a slave then put him into slavery and see how he likes that.

He doesn't? Sounds like u didnt read the article. It reads mostly satiric to point out the current problems in his country (which none of us are really qualified to comment on) rather than actually wanting colonialism to come back. People should actually read before they comment on this one

I read the article. It was poorly written. While reading the story I kept thinking that he must not be a part of the ruling party; which in Cameroon is the Beti-Pahuin (Beit-Fang) people in the South.

Maybe they need a revolution or they need to vote out the ruling party.

if you actually read the article you would realise he doesnt actually want the white fella too come back

i took the time to read it.... dude(film maker/artist) is basically pandering. But African leaders do need to tighten up ship.

"Our art and our artists get more support from the West than from these parts"

sad, sad fact

He's saying he wants a re-try of decolonization. Have the white people come back, take control politically temporarily, and then leave again, except for this time instead of leaving Africa in shambles with arbitrary national boundaries leave them with training and national and political divides that make sense according to ethnic/tribal divisions.
