“You can thank Islam for that - are you implying its something else?????”

????

Just a passing comment. Nothing more.

Islam is what has kept Africa in the state of turmoil and sub-development. The passing comment does not read well as thoughtful of the problems in Africa. It is why *I* commented on it. I spent two years studying the history of Africa. Aside from being a HUGE continent with geographical barriers that the natives themselves have never fully conquered, it seems flippant to suggest that the problems in Africa are due to the fact the natives themselves are defective. Is there a reason why you think the natives are defective? The phrase I zeroed in on was “...it weren’t real anxious to have native folks as business partners.” Does that mean the Africans who DO try to foster business in their country and come here to start a business are less than Europeans?
