AT Legion of Men, a foreign aid worker describes his experience in Africa and why it is impossible for Africans to benefit from foreign aid in the long run. The aid worker went to Africa with liberal illusions. He left a realist. (I suggest closed captions for this video.)
Many people know the reality of Africa and blacks in the West, but “idiotic whites” are fond of their illusions.
There’s also an interesting discussion at the beginning of the video about development by China in Africa. The Chinese are not as kind as Westerners to Africans, who are going to regret the dismantling of European colonialism if they don’t already.
By the way, I don’t necessarily accept the idea, mentioned by one of the commentators, that because of these problems one should never give charity to Africans. There’s probably better ways to do it than through the big aid organizations, but our priority should be the poor in our own countries and among our own people first.
