@Moon @matrix because they needed the west to teach them how to among everything else only they would be able to teach

@Moon Resource curse, when you have abundant resources you don't really need use them effectively and when someone who knows how to use the resources better comes along they easily beat you.
Also the political systems in Africa were always incentivized producting less because your extra stuff would just get stolen by bandits or your local warlord.
There's also that there are more illnesses in Africa and that there aren't animals that can be domesticated.
There are multiple causes to problems like this each contributing a different amount, but people who primarily blame the west are fucking retarded.

@matrix i was being sarcastic but i appreciate your earnest and thorough response.

@Moon urgh, the grammar..... I wrote this like a retard

@matrix nah it was fine

@matrix @matrix @Moon
There's plenty of animals there that can be tamed and even if there weren't they could just get them from the same place we got them from.
Most animals we commonly used today where first domesticated in modern day Turkey iirc, there is nothing stopping you from taking some of them south from there instead of north.
Ancient Egypt also had domesticated animals.
You just need to not be a nigger and eat them all before they reproduce.

@special-boy @Moon Domestication isn't the same thing as taming

@matrix @matrix @Moon
And?
If you can tame it you can decides if and who it mates with.
