Why are Africans poor as compared to Whites?

Answer 1

VEE, honestly do you really believe an entire race are poor and one other race is entirely rich? You are just a joke man.

The most richest people in America for example, happened to be Blacks. Sports people, paid MILLIONS for just throwing a ball, etc. Even critics are mad that these individuals getting paid millions. You have never seen a poor white person?.. Go to the suburbans, and all you will see is white people dressed the same in a corn field, and their trailers next to them as a shelter. Wake up.

If you are referring this to Africa, the continent. You will still be WRONG. Africans are the most resourceful people on Earth, but political strives and other conflicts crippled their countries and economy in most cases. However, the richest leaders on Earth are AFRICANS, stealing their people's money and saving it in foreign bank accounts. The world was shocked when Maputo Seseko had almost a BILLION in a Swiss bank, when his country was suffering.

The media portrays Africa, a place that is nothing but wilderness. But the FACT IS, North America has more wilderness than Africa. Africa is 35% wilderness when the U.S is over 60%. There is more than you think in Africa. Go have a good vacation, and don't just do Safari and leave like if that is all there is.

Answer 2

First of all not all Africans are black. There are Africans who are white (quite a few in some parts).

So assuming you are talking about black Africans (although some white Africans are poor as well)--there are rich and less-than-poor black Africans.

Your question is really why on average are African countries less prosperous than European countries?

For a long period, while Europe was developing, these countries of Africa were were exploited by European countries (they eventually became European colonies) and they were not developed in the way Eurpoean countries were--in fact the exploitation was an obstacle to them industrializing and otherwise become more prosperous.

If these socities had been left alone they would have developed in similar ways. There is nothing inherent about Africa that makes it poor or backwards. In fact, there have been sophisticated advanced societies in Africa.

Answer 3

Africans are poor because they live in Africa, with little or no government every man for himself, fighting off wild animals no monetary base to speak of, getting enough to eat in a day takes precedence over building a bankroll, just watch National Geographic, the news or any of those "feed a child for .80 per day infomercials.

If you meant african Americans it is because they don't spend money well or bother to acquire the qualifications to get a decent paying job, they have the tools to do it but just don't. As a whole not all of them but most of the complainers chose a life of ignorance and poverty through not going to school and not wanting to learn so now they claim they are being held down when actually they are laying in the bed they made for themselves.

Answer 4

Because the Nations of Africa have been conquered by foreign countries mostly of predominately white governments. The people of Africa have been enslaved and suppressed due to the people of these countries believing that skin color or cultural norms made one race of people better than another.
Also many years of drought in Africa has devastated farm and grazing lands. People that once where rich in culture the men were forced into cities to secure only meaniless work, became subjected to loss of tribesmenship, homelessness, disease, and famine.
I am guessing your bases of whats rich and whats poor is on financial worth?

Answer 5

first because there was a time when black of the meadle east, of north africa and from were very important and very reach than white people and than they decreased their importantes of science and busniss causethey found that they had every thing and stopped thinking about the importantence of busniss an work, and after they found that they did not have any thing, and after come the conolisation and white people abuse black people and took from them their liberty and did not give them the astuce of thechnology that's why now black are tring to change all the consequences of the conolasiation

Answer 6

Because white people are legal thieves, but dont tell them that because they will not listen and simply tell you "F***off racisit bastard." They will say that you have problems, we have worked hard for many years to get to be where we're at right now, however, they will not tell you how many blacks they kidnapped from africa to build their American empire and never paid a penny for slave labor. oH their lofty palaces, the fruits of slave labor which they call "working hard." They will never overtly say that they (their white forefathers) came to america and stole this land from its native people (kinda like whats going on in palestine) and exterminated them with diseases. They will never tell you that they (their white forefathers) went on a tour to conquer the world and called it colonization. what is colonization? its basically stealing all the important resources of a country, a country's factor of production , rapping their people while exploiting the country any way profitable so that they can have "democracy" at home. I have more to say if anyone disagrees. ohh yea, its all public information if youd like to read about it. its in the American history text books.

Answer 7

Because they are dumber, lazy and more inclined to do crime, They also have a bad history where by they never got any education to which their parents could pass down. Not only that most blacks grow up dreaming to be rappers like that is going to make them all rich. OK may just one in a million.But that's not enough to change their society. Plus they are in self denial and blame all their problems on whites, and because they are not looking where the problem really is they never improve their society. Whats all this crap about not all black are poor, obviously not all blacks are poorer then white people, what they guy means is on average. Which on average black people are far poorer

Answer 8

Because if they dress like rappers, wear gang colors, and act like a social slob, no decent employer is going to give them a decent job- or a job that has something better than "Do you want fries with that?" as the tag line.

The smarter blacks, dress like successfull adult people. They don't use street english, they speak like adults enuciating clearly, with correct language skills and thought out sentence structure. They use words like "Yes Sir" or "No Mam"- in other words, they show respect, and as a result they are given respect

Answer 9

i really dont understand why if white people dont like black people why do they get on the internet and discuss us 24/7
