Why is it that whites are richer than blacks in africa ?

Question

AFRICANS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY ARE STILL POOR. Why is that whites in foreign countries are still BETTER off than the NATIVES? You don't see blacks or Africans being richer in europe than europeans!

Ex. SOUTH AFRICA, KENYA, NIGERIA AND MOZAMBIQUE

you don't even see ASIANS LIVING IN EUROPE SUPASSING THE EUROPEAN POPULATION!

HOW COME WHITES ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE CORRUPTION IN AFRICA?

Answer 1

although the europeans gave the country back to the africans, they kept the resources.

Answer 2

Apartheid? In what African country, I ask?

Has it ever occurred to you nitwits that the local warlords who are Africans themselves get all the riches?

And who's funding the warlords? The whites? For what reason and what purpose? To "hold the Africans down"? Hold them down from what? What are they going to do? Build elaborate cities or something when they can't even build a car worth a crap?

From how it looks, whites left Africa in order to abolish Apartheid. They left the place for the resources to be used by the locals. They didn't "take" the resources. What did they take exactly? Oh, they took the "food". I see. So "food" can't be grown years after the whites left. I guess it's easier to breed and cry to the UN to come save them time and time again.

I keep hearing these excuses time and time again about how Whites take things from Africa, yet there is no evidence. If you're talking oil in Iraq...okay, fine, that's as bright as day.

But in Africa, there's nothing there except jungles and animals. The people there continue breeding like you wouldn't believe, yet they keep complaining about how much food they don't have. You'd think these civilizations that are much older than BC times would get the hint: No food? No breed!

And by the way, with Apartheid in South Africa...since it was abolished in 1994, the crime rate has shot up tenfold, almost approaching the levels of neighboring African countries.

Let me guess...that's White's faults too, huh?

So cut out they crybaby nonsense.

Answer 3

You are living in a dream world. I think that black people are so busy blaming whites for their problems that they fail to get off their own lazy butts and do it for themselves. Africans on the whole had hundreds of years before whites came to make Africa strong . They did not. Why? Because they were all fighting!Just as they are now. Thousands of years later and typically they are still doing the same thing.
Now that is a broad generalization , just as your claim is.I know lots of rich black people . They all worked damn hard to get that way and not once did they ask for white assistance nor government assistance either.The poor black people you must be referring to are now living in Countries that are run by -wait for it -Black people.In some cases these countries have been run by black governments for over 30years already. What is their excuse?Why did they destroy the infrastructure left to them by the whites?Why take over a white farm when all you are going to do is run it to the ground .?I'll tell you something,when black people learn to Unite then maybe they will be able to become a richer race as a whole. Get over the past and make your own future!!

P.S "Jose" In what African country is there apartheid? Please go read some books and find out what is really happening in the world.

Answer 4

Simply bcse whites raped/exploited the natural resources of Africa. Very few blacks had access to the wealth of mineral rich Africa. Also, there is a lot of tribal/ethnic-war infractions. Blacks do not have the unity that whites do. Nigeria is a perfect example. Nigeria is oil-rich yet there are two main ethnic groups, Ibo and Yoruba. I believe the Ibo's control the wealth.

In regards to America2's closed-minded comments pertaining to whites having better work-ethics, -please. How so?, considering whites enslaved blacks in the Caribbean, South and North America. What work ethics could they (whites) possible have loafing on plantations, wondering when they were going to be knighted (British system) as lords and earls? Princess Diana's father Earl Spencer's family made their wealth off 1500 British Caribbean isle of Jamaica. Hence the saying, "rich as a West-Indian planter."

Blacks have no unity, that is a KEY factor as well as the wealth acquired from the European many generations back from black-exploitation has never been given back, and never will.

"Lets-trol" your answer makes no sense. If the Europeans didn't "take" Africa, how is it Britain and France had the most colonies there? You mean to tell me they were already there on African soil?

Switzerland, Beligum, England, Holland, are known for there chocolates. What is the natural resouce? cocoa! where in Europe is the cocoa plant indigenous? NO WHERE! It's found in Africa. How did the Europeans get hold of it? They stole/took the land from the Africans!!!!!!

Kemberly diamond mines in South Africa was founded by Cecil Rhodes, so named for the Rhodes scholar award (Oxford). Where did he get the diamonds from? Merry ole England? AFRICA!!!! how did he acquire it? He stole it---from? The Africans! Cecil Rhodes was also responsible for founding Rhodesia until de-colonisation took place in April 1980 or 1981. The country is now named Zimbabwe!

I need not go down the list, it is far too great! You need to travel to Africa, but first pick up your history books. You come across as an IGNORANT American. It is oh so sad, the stereotypes that the outside world has of Americans being geographacially/culturally disinclined fits you to a tee.

Also the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa has sent white South Africans particularly in Johanesburg not Capetown , homeless, unemployed, and begging on the streets up many fold!


Sociologically speaking blacks have no UNITY and historically the Europeans plundered the natural resources of Africa, keeping control primarily in their hands (ever heard of neo-colonialism; probably NOT!) which is why blacks are economically disproportioned in comparison to whites.

If you look at Asians (Indians) in Africa ; particulary EAST AFRICA, some are quite well off. Think UGANDA prior to Idi Amin. It was the Indians holding up the economy in Uganda. After the Amin regime, Uganda's economy never came back.

Before you run off your ignorant, arrogant, comments check your history FIRST! Please do take a trip to Africa, you will find much more than jungles and animals there. Egypt might be a good place to start as it is one of the first places civilisation took place! Then you may want to stop in Ethiopia, another ancient place. It is here mankind, anthropologically started. Think "Lucy", the great anthropological find discovered Nov. 30, 1974! Um, get a PASSPORT, please and do FREE your mind from IGNORANT BLISS!

Answer 5

because the apartheid is still alive in africa, there's a lot of racism in those countries and they will never let a black guy be richer. i dont like that attitude at all. we supposed to be the same in front of god's eyes

Answer 6

Actually that may be just a bunch of bologne!! last time I checked there were filthy rich black kenyans. Most of those white are not Kenyans...they are either on Vacation or are expatriates. Meaning they are paid by the pound or dollar (by their companies abroad) which are way stronger currencies that the local currency.


You are just trying to stir something here!!!! why don't people just let go of the race issue and concentrate on more important stuff??????

Answer 7

because colonisation from the past put them in that position. the wealth from them has been kept in white circles never reaching blacks.

Answer 8

thier just ahead of the game idk...it goes back to when whites owned blacks and they were slaves and some people choose to live like that.

Answer 9

It's called exploits.

And tone down your voice (typing), you seem a bit miffed.

Answer 10

Maybe it's because more white people know how to BE rich.

There. Happy?
