Fully agree. Primitivity, violence and savagery are our forte.
A pointer as to why Nairobi and many Sub-Saharan cities are basically massive violent slums.

So Dangote is to be considered a monkey until all africans figure themselves out of poverty?

I have written this over and over again

it's time to refuse to put up with this mindset...
Of course there's nobody here siding with the stupid chinaboy, we are onto sth else, the reason we are so disrespected as a people.
We must accept our failures first and foremost , then move on to correct them. I'm against any attempt to sanitize what is clearly out of order.....remember the debate the other day on improving Nairobi's Eastlands and fellows defending filth?
Sweeping dirt under the carpet or burying our heads in the sand wont do us any good. We must accept and face our inadequacies headlong..
Then stop mixing the two together... being foolish, poor, dirty, uncouth are things we can work on. but being OUR RACE is something we cannot and shouldn't have to work on. Don't swallow the bait and start discussing elements of culture being linked to biology. I am OK with people saying that Africans are generally POOR, FOOLISH, UNCOUTH, DIRTY
PEOPLE! those are statistical facts! All elements of culture that are hard to change but possible to change. but don't attribute that to being black or african (a biological fact) or somehow consider black/African as being sub human - I can point to the same issues elsewhere... as we heard more than 50% of people who poop outside are in india...
We are unlikely to solve these issues in my lifetime so I am unwilling to submit myself to be assessed by the marking scheme some races conjured up to determine how me and my kids are to be considered human.
I am black, I am African PERSON... A matter of history and biology... I didn't say I am not a member of a race of people that is statistically poor or dirty or smelly... but I am a member of a race of PEOPLE! I refuse to earn my dignity and the dignity of my children in the eyes of these races by doing things.
