[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [qb] The article sez: [b]As one person put it, "Africa receives several billions of dollars in aid every year to alleviate poverty, yet Africa relinquishes ten times the amount in money every year in terms of resources to foreign corporations!"[/b] "Relinquishing" is a relative term. A company that invests say 20 million in a mine deserves to make its money back with some profit, or it should not be in business. This is economics 101. Companies are not charities. They survive by covering their costs and making profits. That's how its employees stay employed. The Chinese are not making massive investments in Africa because they like black people. They expect to cover their costs and profit, and there is nothing wrong with that. By contrast, natl governments do not have to worry about staying in business. They can keep pouring money into losing investments decade after decade without bearing the real world consequences and accountability busniess have to deal with. And the "10 times the amount" is dubious. 10 times what? and what credible source has the data that demonstrates this sinister "10 times" figure? And the comparison misses an important question. If Africa receives several billions in aid every year, why haven't these billions made more measurable impact among the masses in increasing incomes and wealth? Notice how the "bad guy" is "the foreign corporations" but never the grasping bureaucrats that handle those billions in aid. Why are they supposed to be more virtuous that a corporation? Simplistic "corporations bad", "Bureaucrats good" formulas have yielded dubious results for the African masses. Indeed, the primary enemy of the masses in many cases is not evil "foreign corporations" but smiling, corrupt, parasitical "soul brotha bureaucrats" [/qb][/QUOTE]The point being made is that the foreign companies use their money to buy off the African governments in order to get favorable deals like thousands of acres of land at pennies on the dollar or power plants that only benefit foreign companies or infrastructure projects like train lines, ports and roads that ONLY benefit foreign companies. And yes if you go by ANY of the various natural resources in Africa, there are billions more going out than is coming in. Africa is a food exporter yet they have starvation? Why? Because their agricultural industry is owned and controlled by foreigners and many African countries are like massive plantations run by white folks. Still today in 2013. Black people don't want to believe it because I guess they think black folks would have risen up by now and put foot in somebody's butt. Right? Wrong. There are too many cowards and traitors within the African population for this to happen, making it very easy to divide and conquer. Tea plantation TODAY in Kenya: [IMG]http://abroad.iupui.edu/images/Johnson_ISA3.jpg[/IMG] http://abroad.iupui.edu/photos/2009/ Malawi tea plantation: [IMG]http://medias.photodeck.com/55074e20-895f-11e1-b1de-375353e4cdde/ML-ML-tea_plantation-09-0007_large.jpg[/IMG] http://www.africaimagelibrary.com/media/55074e20-895f-11e1-b1de-375353e4cdde-lujeri-tea-estate-mulanje-massif-malawi Now with all this lush green land in Africa why are the people starving? Yet working sun up to sun down either directly on plantations or indirectly as share-croppers and at the end of the day are still poor and have no food to eat? What, all that just came about naturally huh? And I guess the foreigners who run these plantations are the good guys now huh? Investing in Africa. Sure. Whatever you say. Keep in mind that Slavery was an investment strategy..... And you are absolutely right, investment is not for the purpose of making slaves rich. The slaves are supposed to make the investors rich. But seeing as Africans aren't the primary investors in their own economies with no industries or mines of their own to generate capital for themselves, then what else could they be..... poor peasants A.K.A. slaves. And these investors aren't ashamed of it. You can go on a tour of the plantation and see the bright scenery while surrounded by slaves..... TODAY. Mount Mulanje tea plantation: [IMG]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5048/5328740021_a145d5179b_b.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]After spending almost two weeks on the massive mountain I descended to the valley and found myself in a large tea plantation. The surprised Dutch expatriate plantation manager adopted me for a week or so in my recovery from the rigors of my alpine adventures. Having a hot bath was the nearest thing to paradise that I had experienced in quite a while![/QUOTE] http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottholcomb/5328740021/ [IMG]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5270/5751647778_4b9a53a108_b.jpg[/IMG] http://www.flickr.com/photos/malawiproject/5751647778/in/photostream [QUOTE] Lujeri Tea Estate Maid services goes with the visit [/QUOTE] http://www.flickr.com/photos/malawiproject/with/5751647778/#photo_5751647778 And these people are supposedly there to help the Malawians overcome poverty even as they sit there and observe the cause of the poverty which is the white exploitation. But they aren't going to stop that now are they? And it is funny to hear black folks talk as if someway somehow all of this wealth is going to magically trickle down to them after everyone else and their grand mom gets their cut. [/QB][/QUOTE]
