Africa is the way it is because of the Way the West wants it to remain.

Blacks in the West get primetime TV coverage, political careers, status and clout. Blacks in Africa are kept poor because the West enslaves them for coltan and other minerals for our stupid phones and electronics. We pretend in the West that we are post colonizer but we (and China) do a great job at abusing Africans 600 years later still. I think, personally, it's really fucked up how Africans are forced to live while the West virtue signals that it cares about Black skin when it fucking uses it as both a virtue shield AND a slave source.
