aha i didnt even know someone had asked my question long long ago . . . think on it as you "give".

[size=15pt]Why Aren't There Any Successful Black Nations In The World?[/size]

otele:

come to think of it, haiti shares a small island with domrep, and domrep is apparently far better than haiti, and yet when earthquake decided to attack, it chose hapless haiti . . . na wa o

otele:

botswana is making progress

otele:

i have wondered what is wrong with our people. we rather fight over each other than develop each other. i understand the history of blacks as a people but that really doesnt explain the degradation especially as i know that as at the mid 20th century s.korea,japan malaysia etc were nothing. these countries are building, we are going backwards at great speed. .

look at nigeria . . pathetic. huge joke. for the first time in my life i'm ashamed of my country. i have defended nigeria at every opportunity. but how can u defend a country without a president

otele:

it's a shame that white people built south africa, dropped apartheid, gave black man freedom, only for black man to be president and now south africa is going down.

@davidylan i agree with you on a number on things, though i think you are coming from the wrong angle. from an the façade of things it is only human and nice for the international communities to respond to what's happenings in Haiti by sending relief materials. That is the way it should be done . . .

As for your question, i  say black Nations are designed to fail. It is not like we don't want to succeed or anything, we are just following the blueprint laid by the west, they want us to fail so we failed. Not until Africans release themselves from the west and find their own path we will keep bouncing back. Someone made mention of Botswana or even Ghana name it, they can only progress to a certain level .

davidylan:

I must concede that point. Perhaps it was ill-advised to bring it up now that the Haiti crisis just happened. I was thinking seriously about Haiti the day before and i just could not bring myself to join the donation hype. Donating for what really? Will this have any lasting effect on Haiti as a nation? Am i just giving $20 to feed a boy for 2 days and leave him to starve the rest of his life?

What really is wrong with the black man? I have fought the idea that somehow we might be inferior to others in the way we reason or analyse things but its hard not to take a step back and wonder if that hasnt been the case all along.

Kobojunkie:

BULL!!!

oyb:

well - you are a student in a muliticultural environment - what are the differences between you and your caucasian/monogolid colleagues?

platinumnk:

President Barack Obama promised an expansive U.S. effort to help Haiti survive its disaster and rebuild the country longer term

Ibime:

Whats all this brouhaha?

Why shouldnt Haiti recieve free money that these kindly oyinbo people are willing to donate.  

Even Afghanistan donated money to the victims of hurricane Katrina. . . . abi is anyone beyond free handout?

davidylan:

Why do you disagree? Africa (to my own limited perception) was deliberately designed to fail . . . we have badly drawn borders that reflect European convenience much more than homogeneity.

Haiti though does not have a similar excuse.

Kobojunkie:

If the "black countries are DESIGNED to fail" hypothesis is to work, it should also apply to

a) Haiti

b) South Africa

c) Zimbabwe etc

oyb:

whatever is eating no2a must be contagious

considering the fact the europeans colonised several asian countries, that really doesn't count

platinumnk:

This is what I was saying, the US needed assistance.

davidylan:



quite laughable . . . the US would have coped quite fine without any assistance.

platinumnk:

I truely hate to argee but im going with Mandingo here.  

what is wrong with Africa is that we have no heart toward our fellow man.

We would rather talk about whats wrong than to actually do something.

platinumnk:

again, assumptions. . come to New Orleans and see for yourself.

cold:

Davidylan i as much as i feel horrid about your opinion on this issue i can't help but concur.The black race is cursed,no nation on earth with a majority of black ppl is rankin amongst the top 15 this is terrible.Taq N[b]aija for example-are we prepared for a disaster of this enormity?The answer is a big no[/b] & wen it happens we'l begin to rain curses on the international community for not doin enuf. nobody is prayin for such things but we nid to prepare bcuz u neva know.Is it an issue of color or brain size i'm at a loss

davidylan:

What is wrong with africa is not our lack of a heart. Is that why the black community is at the bottom of the ladder economically in the US too? Puhlease enough of this nonsensical excuses.
