What is wrong with african people?

Question

We symphatize with the problem they faced over there and provide billions of financial aid annually. In the end, all these money only were received by top corrupted leader, none was given to the people.

Are they heartless/humanless?

Answer 1

They want revenge on white people! It's not the present white peoples fault we took them into slavery! It's in the past and its over with..... and they don't understand that

Answer 2

Umm Who gives a ****?

Survival of the fittest... let all the poorasses die off and we dont have to worry about them anymore.

Answer 3

I have one thing to say. There is nothing wrong with african people. That's like someone saying, "What's wrong with American people?" some people think African people have something wrong with them or are different than everyone else. African people are human beings, and they are people just like you and me. Like someone else said, they may have been forced to give the money away. Just because the color of their skin is different, doesn't mean they're different on the inside. ...and Martin Luther King Jr. day just passed, and people are still complaining about this?! How about you get a heart!

Answer 4

Plain and simple there really isn't anything wrong with the people.  The problem is that we (the United States) actually prevent many of the countries from growing and expanding.  We (the United States) keep our own people distracted as to what goes on in the real business.  (and yes i'm caucasion)

Do you even know whats happening on your own home front.

Answer 5

Are "they" heartless/inhumane? Who is they? Are you judging an entire nation of people on its leaders? Good job we don't do the same with the US, because then the rest of the world would think you were all morons

Answer 6

Corruption

Answer 7

no, simply just other people caught up propaganda.

Answer 8

Kind of like the vast majority of the wealth in the US is concentrated in the hands of 2% of the population?  

It's human nature to look out for number one and it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of skin, cultural identity, etc.  It's obviously present in every nation and on every continent on the planet.  We just keep our mouths shut and refuse to stand up for our rights and deny the obvious because we allow ourselves to be appeased by trifles and frippery in the west so we feel that we have no need to revolt.

Most of the nations in Africa are newly "free."  Meaning, they have just shaken of the yoke of colonialism within the last 40 years or so at best (many more recently than that).  How was the US doing 40 years in?  How was England doing 40 years in?  France, Scotland, Ireland, etc.?  Additionally, they are shut out of the global economic system that has been established by the big 8.  They cannot compete with all of the laws and regulations that these nations have put into place.  Laws and regulations that did not hinder developed nations from industrializing and "getting on their feet" so to speak.  Maybe you haven't noticed but the industrial revolution in every, single developed nation without exception was built on the backs of labor systems that have since been outlawed by, you guessed it, the big 8.  Where would be economically speaking had we, as a nation, been held to the same labor standards that the developing world is being held to now?

Western companies go into these depressed nations where the people have nothing and exploit their resources and rape the countries for their own profit.  Nigeria is the 8th largest producer of oil in the world.  Wonder where all that money is going.

Seriously, expand your mind just a bit and really think about things logically and rationally before asking silly questions like this.  There are a number of things at play that have nothing to do with brown people not being able to rule themselves properly or heartlessness on the part of Africans.

Answer 9

thats what happens when you have people in office who care only about themselves.

If Africa or any other suffering country wants better they will have to go to war with thier own government.

Kinda like the cival war here in the USA.

Answer 10

theres nothing wrong with the african people but your right the top leader did get all the money and theres nothing we can do about that instead we need to look to them for advice and questions.

Answer 11

Nothing is essentially 'wrong' with these people. They are victims of circumstance and manipulation by a few terrible people. Demographics have been the cause of many of their main woes. Overpopulation, disease, poor economy, and food shortages to name a few. THIS is why they truly need our aid. We're doing all we can to make sure it gets to the right people.

Answer 12

um....maybe thats who it was intended to go to.

Answer 13

They are all and more... that's why I stopped giving to third world countries...  I know it's sad but what can we do?

Answer 14

Do you really want to know the truth about Africa?  And why it is a place of such depression?

Africa is held in regression by the United States and a few other UK countries.  How you may ask?  By suppressing the economic growth within certain African countries.  I’ll use the commodity “Coffee” as one example, since many people are familiar with it.

Ethiopia is where coffee was first consumed around 1,000 years ago. Yet they are paid a fraction of what the market price of coffee is selling for.  The buyers, the U.S., Britain etc. refuse to pay the exporters in Africa the fair market price.

Around the world more than 2 billion cups of the stuff are consumed each day. In Starbucks in south London the cheapest shot of espresso costs £1.35. Yet a coffee worker in Ethiopia earns less than half of that in a day. The unfairness of the trade is targeted at many of the African countries.

As a matter of fact the country was stopped from trademarking its coffee by the US National Coffee Association (NCA). Starbucks was accused of being behind the bid to deny Ethiopian farmers a market price of up to $51m, according to reports in the Guardian. It is reported that the US coffee giant prevented Ethiopia from securing trademark protection for two of its best known beans, Sidamo and Harar.

Had Ethiopia been successful, it would have allowed the country to control the use of the beans in the market, giving its farmers more of the fair retail price.

In Ethiopia at least 15 million people depend on the trade yet on Western supermarket shelves the fruits of their labor are hard to see. The United States government knows that the best way to control people is to control the economy and education.

As I mentioned this is just from the coffee aspect.  Imagine all the other commodities, services & products that are controlled and withheld by the wonderful United States.

Educate yourself…..

Answer 19

Answer 20

Aids.

Answer 21

No - uneducated. You do not know how lucky you are to receive an education at relatively no cost. When you have schools in cities and none in rural towns, you have a large proportion of the population not getting an education. When you can't read or write you can only go by what you are told. Everyone knows there is not a politician on the world who doesn't lie through their teeth, Africa is no different.

If you ever went to Africa to meet any of these people, you would learn that they would give their right arm to help someone out, you would never have a New Orleans situation in Africa, where the rich took care of themselves and ignored everyone else, I am talking local populace not politicians here.

Please before you make such ridiculous judgements on a continent of people, think how the world would look at Europe (are they all like Adolf Hitler or Slobodan Milošević) or North America (are they all like Paris Hilton or Ted Bundy).

Go on use your education and educate yourself!

Answer 22

Nothing is wrong with African people ... i think first world countries support the corruption as it is beneficial to there economy ..thy in port row materials from them an re export it as manufactured gods ... if thy  really cared about them thy would have established schools to teach children craftsman-ships and send them machines instead of rice and dollars this way thy would be helping them help themselves instead of chaining them with extra debts that thy did not even touch one dollar from

Answer 23

Free Trade Policies, Human Supremacist Attitudes, Myths about war being essential even good. Anti-War films required. Something along the lines of Jean Renoir's The Grand Illusion. Films against Human Supremacist Attitudes. U.N. Citizens not U.N. as in current form different one.One in which citizens pick who they want to represent them. Does not appear to be case right now. Bad idea maybe anyway. Dictator might get in.Heartless Humans actually are Human Supremacists around The World. Citizens form own U.N. bring corrupt leaders around world to accountability. U.N. which stands for what it proclaims itself. Which means citizens not fighting in Civil Wars form such to bring Peace,Solar Power to themselves and Peace to World. Human Supremacy forced to end rejected educated against only way.

Answer 24

you are so CRULE. don't people these days think!?

did you ever ponder the thought: hm...maybe they were FORCED to give it up!?

Answer 25

No the money goes to the corrupted government and he uses it. My reletives live in africa and i have been there. some parts look just like america richand beautiful but some parts are really bad. the parts that are really bad need alot of money. nobody just gives to africa  they donate through churches and charities. they take up to 60/70%. Then the government gets it and it's not like he can spend it on food for a certain family. he spends it on making the country look like a better place or he uses it on schools. it would take a long time for those type of places to get better. the best thing to do is send food not money then the government has no need of it. books and school supplies are also good as well

Answer 26

What is wrong with YOU?

Answer 27

it is not Africa's problem but a global problem. We live in a global society that allows unjust leaders to remain in power and exploit their people.

Corruption is the universal language.

Answer 28

the people in charge of Africa take most of whats given to the people so if you really want them to have something

its best to bring it yourself

Answer 29

Corruption.  

The leaders (of any country) are powerful.

Power corrupts

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

Look at what happened to 20 years of money sent to New Orleans with the intent of updating/repairing the d**e and seawall system.

Answer 30

its not african people, its all people. think the US is less corrupt? think again.

Answer 31
