The western world have never talked good of africa, but all the deals there are run by them,why?

Question

Racism is evil

Answer 1

Because the Africans are incapable of running things well for themselves. Look at Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe. Name me one African country that has prospered since independence. I lived in Sudan for 3 years and most of the Sudanese would admit in private that they were better off under British rule.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say no one in western world has been complimentary towards Africa - however I would say that in general Western governments have shown little respect for African governments.

Some of this is probably racism, some is probably residual contempt for the residents of former colonies...

And some of this is probably based on Africa's modern problems with chaos and poverty - the Western states are forced to provide aid or intervention constantly to African nations. The only exception that I am aware of being South Africa.

As for deals... I'm assuming you're referencing politics and finances... Africa is still relatively rich in natural resources - so Western governments, and Western companies want to exploit that wealth for profit.

As most African governments are relatively weak, and often unstable, its easy for Western companies and Western governments to gain access to those resources, profiting in turn.

So there is an attitude of greed and contempt... again probably partially a remnant of the colonial attitude.

And you're quite right - racism is evil. Its also idiotic... we're all the same race... its our cultures that vary.

The western world does NOT run Africa. Africa has its own countries and governments. Some countries would be a lot better off if the western world DID run them - some of the governments are extremely corrupt, even evil.
