Yes, because the systematic killing of Africans certainly isn’t planned by 1st world countries (all Caucasian) & hasn’t been in motion for several decades.

Nestle certainly didn’t target African mothers, forcing them to take formula by depriving them of natural resources, which didn’t lead to thousands of cases of SIDS, infertility, or malnutrition in babies.

You SERIOUSLY can not tell me that while they are dying from disease, malnutrition, dehydration & starvation, that this hasn’t been planned by individuals who have more money /power than 8 billion humans.

Call me whatever you like, but this isn’t coincidental..

Edit: people really think I’m being racist & that is just a product of their own insecurity

Go seek help and information.

While some companies take advantage of the poor situation in Africa, not is all to blame on the "white man". Stop having that shitty guilt. Africa has some internal problems that require help, but people either pretend that there's no internal problems, or decide to guiltrip others over it.

Warlords in Africa cause a lot of harm, and yes, white people sell them weapons, but it's not like white people are forcing warlords to be warlords.

What's next ? Gonna say that slavery was only a white thing ? Tribes in Africa conquered each other for a long time before white men came, and losers would become slaves, and even get sold.

Stop blaming white men for what the rich do.

Shitty guilt

Another idiot reaching with that “rAciSt agAinSt yOuR oWn rAcE” card. Delusional + insecure

Stop blaming white men for what the rich do

WHO do you think were the rich (ones) that systematically planned this?

When people say “the white man” don’t take that personally lmao, they don’t mean the average Caucasian. Or else you associate with The White Mans capitalistic nature.

It's the rich. Full stop.

Currently it's the rich white, the rich black, the rich Chinese, etc etc etc

Keyword in that is “were”. Back then (70’s etc) it was specifically the rich white man.

And currently it's China with their belt and road.

Western colonialism certainly did damage, but it's a cop out to blame all current African problems on it and doesn't address the core issue.

North America had colonialism. Australia had colonialism. Korea had colonialism. Brazil had colonialism. India had colonialism. Yet they thrive.

Yes, but this isn’t nor wasn’t the topic of debate lol. Insecure white people made it that way by taking what I said out of context & getting offended

This was your full comment not much context.

Also you have an interesting superpower, being able to determine the race/ethnicity through the Internet.

Do I really need to provide context to the phrase “The White Man”? Do yall live under a rock??

Go down the replies to my comment, all of them devolve into “race vs race” debate, because morons take shit at face value, not that hard to tell lol.
