You are shifting the argument. This is your useless pattern almost always.

Nobody says Africa should have become Rome or Britain in 60 years.

The point is simple: after independence, many African countries already had basic functioning systems: roads, railways, public schools, hospitals, water boards, civil service structures, etc.

A serious country should improve those systems over time, not let them collapse.

So comparing Africa to post-Roman Britain is not the same thing.

Britain after Rome was dealing with a collapse of empire, invasions, fragmentation, and a completely different historical period.

Modern African states inherited 20th-century institutions, access to global technology, international trade, development aid, universities, engineers, and examples from other countries. First bank was created by our colonialisers.

I showed budaatum a civilization in 2026 that have not figured out the canoe. No colonialization on them, no development. They haven't even gotten to the stone age.

The issue is not that colonialism had no effect. Of course it did. Positive and negative effect. The issue is that after 60+ years, blaming colonialism for every failure becomes an excuse for bad leadership, corruption, poor planning, tribal politics, lack of accountability, and zero maintenance culture.

Again, f we had clean running water in some places decades ago and now people need boreholes, that is regression. If roads are rebuilt from scratch every few years because nobody maintains them, that is not Rome’s fault. That is governance failure.

History explains some starting conditions. It does not excuse permanent incompetence.

raumdeuter:
In international politics, it is significant

benalvino3:
You cannot lecture me ones you bring history. We've had our independence since the 1960s and back then we used to have clean running water without installing boreholes.

Maybe not widely scaled across the board, but a functional country could have improved on that but instead the opposite is true.

We are stuck on building one road over and over again. They build it from scratch almost everytime instead of minor maintenance here and there.

Africans don't have the culture of maintenance. In our tribal language, there is no word for maintenance.

Go ahead and blame the white man.

Xi was front and center, Biden was shoved to the back row like an inconsequential leader

benalvino3:
Because whichever you pick, Nigeria is less developed.

If you have to go then go, if you don't have to go through history then don't go. But you are never with answers and your victim cards will not work. No black nation is developed, history is not the issue. Stop this your self-hating nonsense because it holds our race back.

If you ask me the same question, my answer will be short and simple: people like you who do nothing but cry about and blame others.

benalvino3:
Why is Nigeria not as developed as Belarus?

raumdeuter:
Old age was why they shoved Biden to the back of the row?

raumdeuter:
It shows how little the world thought of Biden and how much more the respected Trump

Biden was going to world stage and wandering into the bush

benalvino3:
Thers nothing to reconcile.

You are confusing size with health. A giant can still have weak knees.

China is powerful because of scale and manufacturing.

China is brittle because its growth model depends heavily on exports, state support, debt, overcapacity, and a collapsing property sector.

That is not a contradiction. That is nuanc.

The Iran war is affecting them more than it's affecting the United States since their economy is export-based.

raumdeuter:
This was where they put Biden

Dont you have a shrink already, you need to get one cos you sound unhinged

benalvino3:
Not with temu. The Chinese economy is in turmoil. You will not know this because ignorance is your virtue.

China is not guaranteed to overtake America in every respect. That is propaganda. China is powerful, but it is also brittle

benalvino3:
China has leverage, yes. They are a big player but leverage is not the same thing as strength. They are weak.

Tbh, Kemi is very very good with words and many people are just liking her the more

raumdeuter:
He was negotiating with China and China is negotiating too. Threats are part of negotiations

The whole world rolls out their red carpet for Trump from UK to China not when US presidents were shoved to back of th room or going around on apology tours all over the world

raumdeuter:
From years of seeing my post, you should know that I am not scared to stand on my own and post my opinion, I rarely follow the crowd. If you will describe me I am sure that is how you will

Unlike deepsight who is a symbol of obeisance, servitude, and likes to conform

bayelsaowei:
Trump go beg.. beggi beggi man.🤣🤣

He had to throw away his nonsense pride.

While Trump is all over the place causing chaos and burning bridges, China is building stronger relationships and delivering value.

When someone is dedicated to your death and eradication, the logical thing is to ensure they dont get the means to achieve their aim

The same reason Egypt police their border against Gaza

I ask why is Egypt not allowing Gazans to come for employment or even healthcare yet Egypt does not get the criticism

raumdeuter:
This guy ne lemming

Just follow follow

raumdeuter:
Gazans come to Israel daily to work, Gazans come into Israel for healthcare. Egypt does not even allow them that.

The desire of Gazans that are taken for healthcare and employment is to kill the Israelis, So Israel should open their country to people whose desire is to eradicate them from the map

Egypt has a blockade on Gaza but that one no concern you. Its Israel who lets them come in to work, get healthcare that should open their country so they can carry out their murderous intents

China has leverage, yes. They are a big player but leverage is not the same thing as strength. They are weak.

China can pressure America through rare earths and supply chains I give you thst, but its own economy is struggling with a property crisis, weak consumer demand, deflation pressure, and overcapacity.

China GDP per capita is still around $15k while America’s is above $90k. Ain't that a britch?

Even BYD, which you like to hype, is not proof China is cruising. They are in financial collapse, they are is huge, but its recent profits dropped sharply and China domestic car demand has been weak. Exports are helping because domestic demand is not strong enough.

So no, negotiation with China is not begging. It is normal power politics between two economies that both need something from each other.

What's begging is your TDS 😉

benalvino3:
She rejecting race-based grievance politics and identity essential ism you people like and does not believe being black obligates a particular political outlook is not misalignment.

She and budaatum holds the view that Britain is among the least racist countries, she agrees with me, raumdeuter, Basilico and pretty much any one on the right by emphasizing individual agency over your collective victimhood narratives.



Nobody here supports the senseless killing of innocent people, whether Palestinian, Israeli, Iranian, or anyone else.

But the problem is that people like you often define senseless killing only when Israel or the US acts.

When Hamas kills civilians, when Iran funds proxies, when rockets are fired at Israel, suddenly people start adding context and excuses.

I support Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran this will not change. You and I knows the bad guys.

The real issue is not whether ordinary Palestinians deserve dignity and safety. They do even if they are one of the worst people on this earth who have a party anytime people die in great numbers in the west.

The issue is that Palestinian leadership and political culture have repeatedly been shaped by rejectionism, terrorism, martyrdom ideology, and refusal to accept Israel’s existence.

So yes, Israel has the right to secure itself, control threats on its borders, and demand that any future Palestinian authority be demilitarized and reformed.

But pretending Israel is just randomly killing innocent people for fun is a lie, an ugly lie.

Palestinian state cannot exist in its current ideological form as a militarized rejectionist project.

If there is ever to be a Palestinian state, it must be demilitarized, deradicalized, and built around coexistence rather than the destruction of Israel.

If you disagree to this you will be here crying in the next 10 years when Gazans go into Israel and try to kill every Jews they can find again because they built one or two tunnels

raumdeuter:
Shows how the world now respects the US president. The countries that matter in the world now know American leadership is back. No longer on apology tours

IjeBos:
You could show him an email that says "we are engaged in systematic racism" and he will find someway to say it isn't.
He doesn't come at this in good faith or with any intellectual honesty.

We are living in a time where systematic racism is out in the open.
From Hegeseth firing predominately black people
To DOGE cutting programs because of black keywords
To ICE stopping black and brown people because they happen to be at Home Depot (with the Supreme Court imprimatur).
To States breaking up minority/black districts.
If one can't see it in plain sight, they don't want to see it.

And that's not the far-reaching stuff like disparities of who gets arrested, trial outcomes or prison sentences, sentencing, etc. or even disparities on laws based on type of drugs you're caught with.

raumdeuter:

raumdeuter:
What are the exact policies in existence today that is an example of systemic racism

This will be too much for you to think through, find a quote and just concur

raumdeuter:
Concur like you do

Which year is the housing matter? Just concur

raumdeuter:
You are the one making the claim of systemic racism and the only evidence you can bring was 30 to 45yrs ago

Show us any current evidence of your claim. I live in the US and I am not aware of any. Since you know then tell us
