It is a misconception that the Western White elite are not power-hungry or disdainful of the common masses. In fact, I also feel confident in saying that Western Whites as a whole place a lot of their self-confidence and self-worth on the fact that they are sitting pretty on the racial hierarchy. They are subtly power-drunk. Challenge their position and watch them cringe in discomfort.

One thing I will give them is their ability to use brains, military might, and patient precision in fostering a global atmosphere conducive to them. Brainwashing, colonialism, immense Western wealth and power, "western" science and technology, minority self-hatred and feelings of inadequacy, western institutions and belief systems being the default, what have you. The point is that at present they have managed to bring the rest world to its feet. Love them or hate them you will have to admit that this empire is bound to go to the history books to be studied by future generations - thousands of years from now(if an enlightened human civilization still exists then). Heck this thread is one of many parts of this documented tapestry. Of course, all good (and bad) things come to an end. Someone else is bound to grip the stirring wheel next.

However, from all indications it seems that no Black-run nation is anywhere near challenging this grip of power. None. At least the Asians can smile a bit for that one (China, Japan), also Latin America to an extent, at one point (Cuba), and Eastern Europe (Russia).

It may very well be that one day Africa will rise. I'm just sad that there is a 99.9% chance that none of us writing here will be alive to see it. Nor our will children, or grandchildren either.

Who knows though, right? My insignificant write-up might have inspired one or two young ones to make it their life mission to prove my prognosis about Africa wrong.

redsun: Wisdom and wittiness are self taught,they are inborn.The need to stay afloat is instinctive.Nobody but africans can free themselves and they can only do that when they realize what the game is all about.That the game is all about "whole freedom".

But how can Africa emancipate itself in a globalised world, where leaders are chosen in Washington, and Brussels - without a military might?? We don't have the power to fight the powers that be - and most Africans have been brainwashed anyways.. Even most our "intelligent" academics, and scholars can't even see beyond the lense of their glasses...

It's a cold world, brother..

kunlekunle: its a global issue that affects all races over a peiod of time until they are awaken.
Europe too had similar problem till they recreated their system through reasoning.
their age of reasoning created several thinkers that solved their problems because they realised they had one.

the type of knowledge we aquire affects us..... there are two types 1, theoretical knowledge, that knows things but dont understand it, usually religious in nature and the cosmos. Having a knowlegde of that which is far but not clear.
2, practical knowledge ... i'll say DIY approach. Do It Yourself. that is what is near and known to us. What you see and understand and interact with.

no one is responsible for Africas backwardness but Africans themselves.
The truth of knowing the truth and understang self and been just about the knowledge is the beginning of our freedom.

What do you mean when you say "Theoretical knowledge... usually religious in nature"?
