You, my friend, are a MORON!

This is a highly ignorant post. Africa’s many ’states’? Africa is a COUNTRY made up of several COUNTRIES (how many times have I had to make this same statement in my short life?).

Africa is a CONTINENT
Like the Asian and North American CONTINENTS

That support many countries….

When ripping someone else, it would be wise to use the proper terminology

Africa is one of the riches continents. Unfortunately it is also the most corrupt. This translates to poverty. Look at South Africa, for the last week poor people started burning down the town of Standerton, yet, the ministers and high officials has spend R42.6m on new cars (BMW 7 series is a winner) since the last election. The solution? The WEST should stop being afraid to take action for the fear of being labeled racists! Stop pouring money into Africa, its fuel to the fire. Stop thinking African culture is the same as western culture, its not, violence is a way of live, always has been, always will be.

Exactly what is this post going to do to help “poor Africa”’s situation? Hmm? These pictures you put up were intended only for shock value and nothing more. Bravo! Well done, douche bag. You’ve gotten your shocked gasps from me for today.
So please, before you go and make your gross generalizations, at least get your facts right. Sure, Africa has her numerous problems, but we also have many things to be proud of. Why not make a post about that? It’s virtually impossible to meet someone who isn’t aware of the starvation, war, disease and corruption that is prevalent in many African countries. But do you know of the culture, the historical backgrounds, the positive aspects worth mentioning? NO! So get off your fucking high horse and shut the hell up! Imbeciile……

Africa – the perfect example of the evils of religion and nationalism.

It is a mistake to lump Africa together as if it were a single country. Africa is 1 billion people — one sixth of the world’s population. Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, and the Congo bear less similarity to each other than do Japan, Russian Siberia, and Pakistan (which could all be lumped together as “Asia” in the same way). Overall, it is a poor continent, with many problems in many places, but the problems are all different. Grouping them together like this causes tremendous harm.
