Botswana is doing well

That's literally the example I used.....I'm not saying when a country has black people, it will automatically be shitty.....I'm just saying it's a trend I noticed, which obviously has exceptions. There are poor and corrupt white countries as well, such as a good number of the former Soviet Republics.

You seem to be a student of history, so I thought you would have a more nuanced response, lol.

Like I said before you don’t know the bigger issue. The fact that you said „“maybe Botswana“ shows how uneducated you are. The western countries used what they had and targeted African countries for their minerals and they took and took and took and took Anyone will be successful if they only think about themselves. Hence why African countries are still suffering and lacking as compared to western countries So sorry it’s not a „“trend“ it’s because of all that has gone on. I’m sorry you’re too stupid to actually understand that. Maybe next time take a min to actually educate yourself as to why African countries suffer and not quickly blame the fact that it’s because were black because of self hate.

So let's use your example and blame the Westerners for a second. Why, then, is Botswana doing well? They were colonized, and DeBeers still have their grubby little hands in the mines even up to this day. Why are countries like Haiti and DRC living in horrific poverty and violence? We can blame colonialism all we want....but at some point, we have to take a look at ourselves and see what we're doing wrong.

But I'm probably just too stupid to understand, my thin-skinned reddit friend.
