You don't know very much, do you?

When various countries came to Sub-Saharan Africa, there was no infrastructure. These people were hunter gatherers. Even when I was growing up as a small child in Africa, there were still hunter gatherers around. I grew up quite accustomed to seeing Africans without clothes - just loin cloths.

When the Dutch came to Southern Africa, it was empty. About the same time they arrived, tribes from the North (the Zulus and the Xhosas) arrived. There were battles. The only people native to the country were the San (Bushmen). They are now in Namibia.

Browns and black were not threatening white man's way of life, unless you think cannibalism, murder, and theft were a better way of life than that of those in Europe.

There are more than 3000 languages in Africa. There are even more tribes than that. Each tribe can be considered a nation of sorts. Genocide is frequent in Africa. There are currently some 35 wars/conflicts (a lot of them as Muslims are spreading their religion).

Every single time that a white nation withdrew from Africa and gave independence, the nations, now self-governing, began to retrogress. Rhodesia used to be the breadbasket of Africa, but they chased the white farmers away and they are now starving. Mugabe destroyed the country (now Zimbabwe). They are now asking for white farmers come back. All it took was 50 years.

I was born into the British Empire. South Africa was first world at that time, and considered the richest country in the world. We had world class services.

With sanctions, the wealth of South Africa deteriorated. With handing over government to the black majority, 30 years on, the country is virtually destroyed. The Western Cape still functions. We have the highest crime rates in the world Out of the top 10 most violent cities in the world, five are from South Africa.

We also have the highest rape (particularly baby rape) in the world. Sangomas (Shamans) teach men that if they rape a baby, they will be cured of AIDS (HIV). 40% of South African women are said to be raped.

I could go on, but I would wish that African Americans, growing up in a first world country, would not assume that their failures are because of white people and racism.

Jews have withstood racism, persecution, torture, and genocide for 2000 years, They have been chased from their country, but still they survive, still they are educated and inventive. Out of 15 million people worldwide, they have won 147 Nobel prizes.

I think you need to read some history and not take your 'facts' from people who write on social media and content writing sites.

I am a dual South African/German Jew, daughter of a Holocaust Survivor, two parents who stood against apartheid, and who has lived and worked in two countries in Africa, visited many more, lived and worked in five countries in Europe, two in the United Kingdom, 11 years in America, and currently in Ireland.

I would say that I have a better idea of the facts that people who have never set foot outside of America.

By the way, I have been published for 62 years on three continents, and you can check some of my reviews on my ‘about’ page on Medium. I also have a 4.5 star rating on Good Reads for my books. I got those reviews because I am accurate.
