Doc Hawkins posted:Literally Fear of a Black Planet. I don't have a problem with a black planet. I have problems with anyone thinking countries where there are regular events of infighting due to the belief that witchcraft can shrink penises - have criminalized homosexuality - can somehow improve the situation by "expanding global socialism." Never mind that the majority of independent political groups in Africa be they Mandela's ANC to Ghana's NDC have all been heavily influenced by or founded by Socialists and all have failed at solving the regions problems. Sometimes these problems go beyond ideologies.. ThisIsWhyTrumpWon fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Jul 10, 2017 |

Jaxyon posted:I'm guessing you have a solution. The solution is education, technological advancement and modernization processes. Building high quality educational institutions, Promoting birth control, and ending the same brain drain that hurts other developing nations. Promoting Agricultural modernization and advancement with internal agricultural subsidies to ensure access to affordable food as the US and Europe has done and to strengthen exports. These strategies were developed in Asia and South America and worked reasonably well. Throwing money at issues without a plan won't solve anything.

I like how people have this condescending view of Africa that we either need to chastise or give charity to a massive diverse continent, as if the many nations of are ignorant children or pitiable fuckups. The main reason much of Africa is so messed up is that it's being actively hosed by many corporations and nations, has been for centuries and continues to this day.

We have US born, Christian missionaries setting up shop all over the place there to push the anti-LGBTx and anti-birth control agenda that they can no longer get away with at home. Plus all the Islamic extremist elements that pop up.

That's entirely true but people are either unaware of or forget about the active and major pillaging of resources that continues to this day, but has also been going on forever. Africa is poor because their poo poo gets stolen. And talking about "Africa" is pretty bad in and of itself. It's a massive, massive continent with a huge amount of diversity of every fashion.

Hell, America has over 100 covert engagements going on at any one time, mostly in Africa. They're fighting a shadow war over there for influence and eventually access to more resources. Pillaging is the right word.

Africa nations are poor because most of them are unable to harvest their own natural resources due to lack of education, tools, or funds. They would have the same problem even if other countries businesses didn't come in to exploit their resources. That's not something that is easily remedied.

I'm sorry I spent most of my life talking to Diamond Mining and Coal Mining Engineers that worked overseas for massive amounts of cash because they couldn't find locals who actually knew Diamond Mine Engineering and Coal Mine Engineering. It's not like it's a commonly taught topic in US Schools - so you're telling me I'm to expect African countries a lot of them which have really low levels of education and low quality university to know how to mine all these precious metals properly from pure will power? You need to have an education to be able to properly take resources from the lands. There are some things you can do without that education. Many forms of agriculture for example - but they hit brick walls when it comes to productivity eventually. You can mine some stuff without tons of education of course - but the consequences are very high. I guess you haven't read about all the illegal gold miners in Peru duping gallons of mercury into the Amazon recently either huh?

Listen, if these lazy countries wanted a nice school like School of Mines, they'd get their own international mining conglomerates to fund the endowment. The reason we horde IP isn't because we're rent seeking after stealing all we can, it is because we try harder and work smarter!

I don't see what's so racist about saying that African countries should import outside expertise to improve their resource extraction industries and economies, and that their educational systems are not currently up to developing the expertise to do it themselves. Those arn't exactly controversial statements. These are developing economies, after all.
