Hahahaha oh man lol

 

[ValerioAurelius]

He should ignore that. Of course he is right. Evryone knows that.

The bigot actually said that. Lol this goes to show how western leaders regardless of ideological spectrum still believes in the racist theory of civilizational mission and how white westerners are a "superior race" meant to dictate terms to "inferior" non-western races. All major global post WWII institutions are a hallmark of that racist notion.

"However, the video which was uploaded to Twitter, appears to be edited which has lead some to believe the President’s remarks may have been taken out of context.
...
A full transcript of President Macron's comments have subsequently been posted posted online, in the transcript you see how his answer was cut down and shortened.

In his full length answer, President Macron talked about issues Africa faced such as failed states, complex democratic transitions, human and drug trafficking as well as Islamic terrorism.

He said if France was to help Africa, a plan must be developed by and with African leaders and according to African interest."

Look past the headline!

You are wrong.

Thats the problems of Africa are based on their bad civilisation is a fact. A mission would be if we want to change that.

I have zero impulse to help them in any way. Infact "helping" makes it worse. What we have in africa today is a population hold artificial alive by the west. They are hold alive by western medicine. Western technology. If we block them, 2/3 of their population would die within months.

Best example is Sudan and Somalia. Now TV is again full with bullshit commercials, that tehy starve there.

Who cares? The area there doesnt allow that amount people. If they breed like rabbits, the local ecosystem must deal with that alone. Their numbers will reach normal levels from alone.

so are france's , not a big fan of africans here , but the british call them cheese eating monkeys for a reason

The problem with African countries is that colonialism created completely artificial countries. Imagine foreign powers coming and based on their interests giving half of France to UK, German lands to Poland, Italian lands to Albania. It took centuries of nationalist wars in Europe to settle down on current borders

 

[ValerioAurelius]

Whats your problem?

I did spend 50€ for the newzealand kakapo recovery program few weeks ago. I believe ist important to help rare species. and i see that as a worthful support, but i would not give a single cent to africa aid programs.

Ok, so what was africans problem in ancient times`? You do realize, that even old egypt considered sub sahara areas as poverty stricken dirt holes?

 

[Gothic]

but in the end it was the american intervention that settled everything down
