You're correct but ADOS has this same problem. There's tons of them all over the world dippin'instead standing and fighting.There really isn't, which is why Tariq can never really lose that specific debate.
Trust me Africans who live in Africa would agree with what he says in that Africans would rather run, steal or fight themselves than fix up their countries. They know what Africa could and should be and they would tell any person that.
If you look at the Africans who are pushing back against Tariq it's the ones who have either left their countries or are second generation africans born in another country.
A lot of these Africans are what I call the c00n class. A lot of the second gens call pride themselves as Africans and will defend their parents African country despite having no intention to ever go back there outside of a possible short vacation and that "possible" is a big if. They'll easily go on vacation to a bunch of non African/white countries however.
The ones who have left their countries and emigrated believe themselves to be superior to the Africans that are still back there because they now successfully live in another country that's better. These ones trash the people and their countries (no different to Tariq) in favor of the ones they now live in. However because Tariq isn't from their own country they cannot accept that exact same criticism they use coming from an "outsider".
People do what they can and if there's no code it's every Man for himself.
