AFRICA DOES NOT NEED OUR CHARITY!

People in the West are sometimes showed disturbing images of children starving to death, with these images we are sometimes told the life story of the child that we are watching starve, if these videos do not disturb and upset you, you are probably not human or you don't have a soul or something. After we watch these videos we are given a quick and easy way to quickly donate to help prevent any more children from going through this kind of suffering. Some people happily donate to these charities, as did I but when you look at the big picture these charities are not working and charity is patronizing to the African people. The people of Africa can look after themselves and cringe worthy charity songs like Band Aid 30 is embarrassing, patronizing and ridiculous. They have people that have hundreds of millions in their bank accounts sing "feed the world" to us?

If the West really wanted to help Africa we could maybe stop stealing their valuable natural resources, not that not stealing from somebody is actually helping them. If we see an old woman crossing the road and we do not grab her handbag and run, did we help them? How do the West exploit Africa?

Africa has a large quantity of natural resources including oil, diamonds, salt, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, petroleum and cocoa beans, it also has woods and tropical fruits. Much of its natural resources are undiscovered or barely harnessed. If Africa have all these natural resources then why are the African people living in poverty? EXPLOITATION.

Nigeria is the continent's biggest oil producer, at least $400bn (£250bn) of oil revenue has been stolen or misspent since independence in 1960, according to estimates by former World Bank vice-president for Africa, Oby Ezekwesili. That is 12 times the country's national budget for 2011. Meanwhile, 90% of people in Nigeria live on less than $2 per day.

Corrupt African governments are not the only exploiter of African people, Britain, USA and some of Europe's economies and wealth are built on the exploitation of Africa!

Kofi Annan, the former UN secretary-general, written a 120-page Africa Progress Report, which he claims shows how the economic benefits of extracting natural resources such as oil and iron often fail to flow through to the local population. In the report he writes"Africa loses twice as much in illicit financial outflows as it receives in international aid," he goes on to write "It is unconscionable that some companies, often supported by dishonest officials, are using unethical tax avoidance, transfer pricing and anonymous company ownership to maximize their profits, while millions of Africans go without adequate nutrition, health and education."

Britain's debt is Africa is HUGE, we owe Africa they do not owe us, the Slave Trade, cotton, sugar, tobacco, diamonds, gold, coal, oil the list is massive, we misguided Britain's are told that Africa would not survive without our charity, this is not true, it is actually the other way round! People in Britain do not depend on Africa to live, we however depend on Africa to live the lifestyles we live. Britain's debt to Africa is Trillions of pounds in money but it is also worse than that.

THE MASSES ARE EITHER IGNORANT, RACIST OR BOTH!

Firstly, what is racism? an online dictionary describe it like this,

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

I believe that sounds about right and if you take racism in it literal form we are all racists! Why? We in the UK, USA and other developed countries do believe that we are superior to others, "no we do not" most white people would say, but unfortunately we do, this is why most British and American people choose to ignore scandals like corporate child labor that boarder lines slavery. Imagine if the newspapers were to expose child labor in British or American factories, English and American children being forced to work 12 hours a day in disgusting conditions, just so they can eat and be sheltered. Would the masses allow it? of coarse not, parents in Britain complain about our children having to do P.E lessons in the cold! And the only thing most children in Britain spend 12 hours a day doing is sitting on their fat asses watching there child made T.Vs or playing there child labor made Xbox. 

The masses in UK and USA completely ignore corporate slavery despite the fact that huge billionaire multinational corporations such as Tesco, Walmart, Nike and many others force children as young as eight years old to work for as little as seven pence per hour, if after reading this you choose to shop from Tesco or Walmart on a regular basis again or spend $150 on a pair of child labour made Nike trainers, you are racist, or you could just be OK with child labour and slavery with children and people of any race, but I doubt that!

Most people, black, white or brown would insist, they are not racist, and most people claim to be outraged by racist jokes or stereotypes. I am not, to me that is just name calling, eg, if I call someone a four eyed prick, it does not mean I hate all people that wear glasses, It probably means I do not like the individual that I am aiming the insult at so I find a way to insult him, that is not racism, it's still not nice but it is not racism.

Real racism is a lack of respect for another human beings human rights just because they are not the same race as you, real racism is the fact that prisons in USA have more young black people in them then their colleges, real racism is the oppression of Africa being ignored and wars fought in countries in with high amounts of oil or other natural resources being ignored, in fact racism is what allows these things to go on unnoticed by the ignorant, racist masses reading the biased and racist media.
