Cruelest people in history?

[Zephyrus]

You were speaking as if it was Africa's fault for blowing.

 

[waif]

Oh.
No.
It's the white man's fault.
Africa was pretty good before we came. Not perfect, but it was all right.
Then we fucked everything up, killed a lot of dudes, gave them aids, took their resources, gave them guns, and left.

 

[Zephyrus]

And your point?

 

[Ender Rises]

Is it just me, or is he agreeing with you, Zeph?

 

[waif]

Agreeing with you.
Africa blows, due to Europeans.

 

[Ender Rises]

Ha. I was right.

 

[Zephyrus]

And it's continuing to blow because not enough people are giving a rat's ass about it.

 

[waif]

Yeah.
But I don't have money to give, and I'm not going there.
So what can I do? Wear a fucking "Save Darfur" shirt?

 

[Zephyrus]

The best you can do is write to your politicians. If there are enough people raising awareness, then there's a better chance of something happening, especially with a potential liberal victory in the coming presidential election.

especially with a potential liberal victory in the coming presidential election.

*crosses fingers*

 

[waif]

For those who like Scrubs,

Africa is beyond all hope now. I can't even begin to comprehend the quagmire that the world has gotten itself into over there. I've tried to read about it and understand it all but it's just so damn confusing and utterly mind-boggling; mass genocides and racial discrimination and segregation. As far as I can see, there is no way out of this shit hole. Everything is seriously fucked up over there, and the western world is well within the threshold of blame. Personally, I think that something truly cataclysmic has to happen for anything to change. Not to quote the recent film, but there truly will be blood. Lots of it. We (meaning the world) are setting ourselves up to burn.

We certainly set them up for it.

The problem with most African nations is they don't have enough exportable resources to compete with the global economy. No oil to compete with Asia and North America.

Pretty much. They're totally fucked. Makes me feel really good about the US's situation.

In part our fault, as during the age of imperialism European nations ruthlessly exploited the natural resources of Africa.
But yeah, there wasn't all that much to begin with.
