[QUOTE]Originally posted by Keino: [QB] I post that I made to the topic, How African is North Africa?: This is a rhetorical and inane question. I will try and make this as brief as possible. Africa is Africa as Europe is Europe. It has been a devise to divide and conquer non-western countries for economic and political control for some time. Most all of the world’s natural resources are from Africa and Asia(middle east)! Europeans have for a long time exploited Asia and Africa while using the benefits to build Europe and that’s how almost all of Europe is developed today while most of Africa and Asia remain “backwards“. If one travels throughout Europe you will come across populations that are diverse in phenotype (appearance), culture and language, but are considered European . Europeans refuse to be divided and will not let anyone define them even though they are very well aware of the differences within. Lets think about this, France has French language and French culture; England has English language and English culture; Spain has Spanish language and Spanish culture, Russia has Russian language and Russian culture, Ireland has Irish/Gaelic language and Irish culture; Italy has Italian language and Italian culture; Portugal has Portuguese language and Portuguese culture; Poland has Polish language and Polish culture; Germany has German language and German culture and this list goes on and on. You have to even consider the sub-cultures in all of these cultures and the different dialects of the languages in each country. Now lets look at the phenotype of Europe! Many Spaniards, Portuguese and Italians are not just olive in skin colour, but are brown with curly hair (mulatto looking like many North Africans and middle easterners) and many Russians are very Asian looking. One will never hear Europeans dissociating themselves from the “continent” of Europe because they know they are diverse and very different but they identify with and are PROUD to be European especially because at this present point in time Europeans are ruling the world and many people associate anything European as superior or better and anything African as inferior and bad. Another horrible misconception is Europe = humans and intelligent and Africa= Animals and unintelligent. This is the core of where the concept of “in Africa, but not African” comes from. Its an inferiority complex due to the present false perceptions of Europe and Africa. ALL Africa has been colonized, “imperialized” and under the exploitative control of Europe for many many years now. It is these divisive tactics that are now employed to keep ALL African confused, bickering and non-unified while Europe reaps the benefits and continues to build itself!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
