I agree, question is: at what point did Africans in Africa lose hope?
I wonder what made Africans in Africa so complacent with having so little all while the very land they live on makes Europeans and Asians extremely wealthy.
is it because Africans are inferior?
African people are very intelligent,hard working, and resourceful people. I read statistic that native Africans are among the most educated in the U.S. Africans and AA's just have an inferior way of thinking about themselves and the world around them. We are entitled to greatness in this world just as much as our Asian and European counterparts.
if AA's and Africans have an inferior way of thinking about themselves then are they really as deserving of the greatness that they're entitled to as the Europeans or Asians?
LOL.... never read so much ignorance in one thread
I do business in Africa , my company that I own is based in the UK and Nigeria.....
African business is doing much better than African American business..... sad but true .....
Africa is booming , now if you were to talk about governments on the other hand thats a different story...
and the Chinese are much better business partners than the Americans or the Europeans... dont believe the bullshyt propaganda

i dont think its complacency, its simply lack of knowledge, you need vast amounts of knowledge and tons of educated people to transform a piece of land into wealth
i was reading somewhere where half the people in nigeria can't read......i think that is where you start, im sure people are working on it but until you fix that nigeria isnt going anywhere
I believe so. I think every living thing is entitled to reach their full potential. And the inferiority complex that is prominent among African people's only hurts themselves ultimately. Whether we are are entitled to reach greatness isn't under anyone's determination but our own.
If Africans have been perpetually living in this conditions for this long, doesn't it imply that something might be wrong with the Africans?
Europeans sure didn't have any inferiority complexes when they came in and set up shop.
When did Africans living in Africa on African soil discover that they were inferior, and inferior to whom?

tradition, you learn how to read from your parents for example, so that is why literacy is so bad because parents's can't read
so the key is addressing tradition and culture, its the same thing for african americans, its really for anybody but africa is the subject at hand
as to how you change culture and tradition that may be holding you back, im not really sure, you just have to try things until it works, but the first step is a correct diagnosis

you pose an interesting question. I'm not one to use the past as a crutch but I can say that much of Africa wasn't always in dire poverty as it is now. There were successful African kingdoms, where there were scholars,priests,kings,queens and just average everyday citizens. So there were functioning civilizations in the past. History tells us this. I'm not saying things were perfect. You still had tribal warfare, drought, chattel slavery,etc.
Much of Africa condition now is due to it's failure to keep up with a modern world that is advancing exponentially. The inferior mindset accredited to many things. Global white supremacy hasn't helped. In many third world countries (not just in Africa) many people attribute white with wealth and power. Very rarely do they get the opportunity to see people who look like them in powerful and controlling positions. And if they do there is always someone white backing them. This play a significant role in the inferiority complex. And it leaves many feeling not only hopeless but dependent. This is why strong leadership is essential. And for the most part leaders within Africa and AA community have failed to invoke the radical shift in thought that we so desperately need.
Nigeria has a space program , they send and operate their own satellites........If you feel that these countries arent wealthy then you dont know what you are talking about, If you were to say a lot of them are not run properly then I agree....but what country is
there are 58 countries in Africa..... to just rely on western journalism and propaganda for your information is sloppy
so If Africans have an inferior mindset can you please explain to me why no black American owns a bank, oil company, airline but black Africans own all these things.... so if Africans have an inferior mindset does that mean African Americans are more inferior?
some of you are guilty of the things you most complain of...
I can take a camera and film in the worst parts of Detroit .....i can direct everyone to worldstar and say "this is an accurate reflection of black America"
the first thing you all would cry is that its biased only showing the worst parts...... there are 58 countries in Africa, some of you need to travel there yourself before you base such lazy and outdated opinions...
when you look at the richest black people in the world they are all Africans, obviously you are not getting the full story
dont believe the hype

nigeria is a very poor country overall, it has a rich elite and vast poverty and no middle class
perhaps. I have my grievances and disappointments with African people as a whole and I'm AA. And as far as Africans owning banks, airlines, and oil companies that's great and all. However, it isn't anything spectacular considering that, that is what they should be doing in THEIR countries on THEIR soil. And I don't measure an entire people's condition based on a few individuals and their successes.
The majority of Africa is still very much behind the rest of the world. That is a hard pill to swallow for me just as much as it should be for a native Africa.
