What Future Lies Ahead For Africa? by jhubril(m): 8:01pm On Aug 23, 2015
WHAT FUTURE LIES AHEAD FOR AFRICA?

One of the most brilliant English historians,Prof Hugh Trevor Roper,once said: "Black Africa's history is darkness...nothing but darkness". Trevor the historian could never know that South Africa's racist president,Pieter Williem Botha,would agree with his words :"The fact that Blacks look like human beings and act like human beings does not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles simply because they look alike. If God wanted us to be equal to the Blacks, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently: Whites, Blacks, Yellow, Rulers and the ruled. Intellectually,we are superior to the Blacks;that has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt over the years".

Could there any word with which one may confront those scathing unsympathetic remarks? If there was one,then that would be :racist. We must resist any attempt to change it .But as we do that it is incumbent upon us to examine and cross-examine all the arguments underlying racism. Is there is any scintilla of truth in them?

Great minds,we have gathered today to open old wounds and to reflect on whether posterity will prove Trevor and Botha wrong: what future lies ahead for Africa?

Oh lawd..not another thread demeaning blacks. op...where do imbecilic elements like you come from? Don't you have a job? I actually clicked on this thread expecting to see something about how Africa is now home to the world's fastest growing economies, the expanding middle class, and the rise of innovation and entrepreneurship across the continent. Instead, it's this nonsensical garbage about PW Botha. Tragic really. People like you should realise that Africa has moved far beyond the limits set for her in the drunken rantings of some inconsequential, dead, racist scumbag.
