  1. leonard u stfu they are making strides. It’s colonization and the cold war had no effect on the economy and well being of the people.

  2.  @christopherbonis  But does human history bore out what you are saying. I assume you think Western Europeans are “better”. So why hasn’t this been the case for all of human civilization? Also the Southern Hemisphere is pretty sparsely populated. Most of Africas population is above the Equator as well.

  3. So why was China so poor in the past? They should have never fallen behind in the first place? Why does IQ increase with education? Why is socioeconomic status always a better explanation for IQ differences than genetics. Since the vast majority of genetic differences in humanity is found in Africa. Why dont we see the poorest and richest countries on earth there?

  9.  @xpusostomos  Singapore used to be very bad. It sits at a strategic location and is very small. Thats all you need to know.

  10. @Aaron R. They did do it. Most of Africas debt is with the west.

  12. Yeah Africa was doing amazing under European domination.

  14. Also Botswana was luckier than most African countries when it came to independence.

  17. This is literally retarded. Countries like Rwanda are literally one of the safest in the world and lord knows most of their population do not have air conditioning. South Africa is in the “temperature zone” but has crazy amounts of crime. Botswana is in a desert and crime is low.

  18.  @IkBenDigio  Which part of Africa are you talking about?
    1
  19.  @justanotherfrenchie  Yeah but that is a very large generalization of the continent. Some countries like the DRC are fucked. But countries like Ghana and Kenya are on a good track.

  20.  @justanotherfrenchie  Foreign direct investment in African even as whole is increasing. Corruption will be beaten in some countries mostly.

  21.  @Swansniff2  He is talking about empires and kingdoms in Africa. China also wasn’t technically a nation.

  22.  @LegendNinja41  Please explain how they can project power into Ethiopia.

  24.  @maxant4285  You have no proof except for bullshit correlation and personal experiences. Human history shows that the groups you think are “smarter” than others haven’t been that war for ever.

  25. South Africa now is better than Apartheid South Africa in almost every single metric.

  26. Loki Leaves It was shit infrastructure.

  27. daniel halachev industry? The only industry there was for the colonizers. Shit infrastructure one main road or railroad just to extract resources keep in mind this was in colony form so no not every current country got infrastructure at all. Tech which i guess is the wheel for the most isolated parts of Africa what other technology that they could actually use. It does not mean shit when you start from near scratch 60 years ago. Education? Only the most well off people got an education some countries when they were released had only 100 educated people out of the whole population. A lot of people were still dying it’s funny that you think they actually cared about the people that lived there. They basically used slavery they would pay them just enough whereas to meet the taxes levied on them so that they would always have to work for monstrously wages. Right now Africa is in its Dark ages but the Renaissance is coming.

  28. daniel halachev You also make it seem as if Africa did not have its own civilizations. It is obvious that since you don’t even know that you have no idea of what you are talking about. European contact and the death blow the Atlantic Slave trade was caused the downfall of almost all the greater African Empires and Kingdoms. You don’t know anything about history as you clearly just demonstrated.

  29. aws. tpwf210 I dont think Ethiopia, Vietnam, and North Korea count they were really civil wars a part of the population did want communism you can’t necessarily blame it on the ideology. Civil wars happen no matter the ideology.

  30.  @xpusostomos  Asia as whole is still underdeveloped as well.

  31. Actually no it was the British who turned it into a “economic power” (whatever that fucking means). Without the British making it an important part of the empires trade routes allowing for the exploitation of its mineral resources using black labor the boers would have still been poor farmers who practiced slavery.

  32. A few countries will become developed

  33. So why wasn’t Western Europe on top for as long as human civilization existed? Why wasn’t it created there? Why has their reign been so short and why is it so abruptly coming to an end?

  34.  @VideoDotGoogleDotCom  Which didnt prove shit because you would literally have to raise the babies in test tubes with the exact same experiences to control for all variables like pre natal conditions, I don’t even think the children where the same age either. You have no biological proof whatsoever.

  35.  @Hilts931  Its not possible because Africa isn’t a country lmaoo. Some countries will become developed others wont and most will be stuck in the middle. “Current Chinese colonialism” omfg get the fuck out of here.
    1
  36.  @Hilts931  Sweat shops are required in the early stages of industrialization. I also doubt its as bad as the past. Like we use Chinese and south east asians in sweat shops to make our clothes, or how we in the late 19th and early 20th century we used kids and women in textile factories. Cheap labor is just that cheap. The Chinese are also transferring knowledge and tech to various countries

  37. You literally know nothing about pre colonial Africa. You realize that most of the world was on the same level until like the 17th or 18th centuries right? The only reason Western Europeans could conquer the New World when they did was because of disease. The only reason they could conquer Africa was due to breach loading rifles, the gatling gun, and new medicine even then they still were handed defeats from time to time.

  38.  @alexandergilles8583  Yeah but those Jared Diamond talking points are literally disproven by history itself.
    1
  39.  @alexandergilles8583  Yeah but you said Europe and Asia in general which wasn’t the case. It was specifically Western Europe that pulled ahead.
    1
  40.  @alexandergilles8583  You are making it seem like Europe was on top for all of human history. And you were WAAAYYY of with the domesticated animals for Africa at least given all of them reached Africa millennia ago. I also did elaborate.

  41.  @alexandergilles8583  In 1492 what was really different? Guns in the 15th century were shit West and East Africa were pretty much in the same level. East Africa would get guns that century and West Africa in 16th. That period was during west Africas peak. Sudan and Ethiopias peak was a long time before that.

  42.  @alexandergilles8583  Yeah but when you have cows lets say for 10,000 years does that really matter lmaooo. Those animals spread elsewhere also.

  43. It is their property

  44.  @MrDylsha  Why hasn’t Western Europe been on too for all of human history if IQ was so important?

  45. @Bruzzh 2121 Lmaooo. Nice story. “Reduced debt” that many defaulted in the 70s and 80s. What is most of the aid fro? Mining projects and food.

  46.  @DeTooR  For a long time since most African countries aren’t more than 65 years old.

  48. Emma Skovgård We also fuel cartels. I call it the war on people but more so minorities.

  49.  @xpusostomos  The United States directly invested more than 35 billion dollars in South Korea after the civil war. Where do you get 3 billion? The Us also helps Korea a lot with its military. Man you really like talking out of your ass. You keep mentioning IQ in your various comments and its safe to assume you think genetics is the main factor. South Korea historically was the poorer part of Korea did they evolve a higher IQ to develop faster than North Korea?
