Why is Africa poor?
Not that it has much to do with racism, maybe should be put into another thread?
Mostly because of decolonisation I believe. Most African nations were exploited by Europeans (and Americans) during the 19th century. Nowadays there is a lot of conflict in some countries over the artifical european borders, over money etc. Also Africa lacks a lot of infrastructure necessary for development.
But if you look at the progress made in developing Asia in the last fifty years then maybe there is hope for African nations too? There are many success stories in Africa as well as failures.
