Do not be afraid to say what you really think about Africa. For decades there have been very negative images and approach about the continent. Your answers will help clean up the mess created by the media by giving you Africa's real face which includes wealth, poverty, and solid rich culture.

I have visited several countries on the African continent.
The people I met were kind and generous and as curious about me as I was about them. We have all seen the photos of various famous places, and I will add to see them in person is an awesome experience.


jfa626 (15)  4 years ago

I have never been there myself, but I have met several people from there. This summer a quartet I sing with at Church was almost dissolved when our bass became too busy to participate. One of the other guys had a friend from South Africa visiting for a couple of months and he filled it. We had a great time discussing his life and environment and I found it fascinating.


jfa626 (15)  4 years ago

I believe it will be a treat for you to take the time to visit the marvelous continent. The clock stops when you get there and time is no longer an issue. Let me know if you ever visit.

I think Africa is a beautiful but unfortunate nation.Take the AIDS crisis, why didn't the government feel it was neccessary to educate the masses before it got so out of control? The people are beautiful and childlike for the most part and that is part of the problem.
By all rights, Africa should be a wonderfully prosperous nation with a bright future.I would like to see our government get off its butt and lend a helping hand.Not a hand out and not another war.


jfa626 (15)  4 years ago

Thank you for the comment. However; don't mistaken humbleness and friendliness for "childlike" as you mentioned. The people of Africa are not childlike, they are misguided, misinformed and sometime helpless. The Western Powers are the main one profiting from Africa's richness and it's killing and disabling many African nation. This is just another form of genocide. Yes, you are right, Africa does not need another hand out and war created by Western Powers. Unfortunately, these are exactly the strategies used by Western Powers to rob Africa's richness. Conflicts are created to ease the way for Western Powers to dig in the rich soils and then they return to give hand outs after the wars_the good guys.


myLot reputation of 89/100. RebeccaLynn (818)  4 years ago

Misguided,misinformed and helpless are all qualities of being "childlike". I did not say this to offend. I want to see Africa rise up and stand on her own.
The "helping hand" that I mentioned would be education, quality healthcare and to stop raping the land.
I believe that Africa wants to be a wonderful,powerful nation and has the potential to be. She just needs a little help to get there.
Unfortunatley, I do not see that help comimg anytime soon and it's a real shame.


jfa626 (15)  4 years ago

You're right, everybody are making profit from Africa's rich soil and resources except the people of Africa...it's more political and greed than anything else and we have a long way to go...unfortunately anybody who tries to go against the force is labeled a "terrorist" and the ugly truth about the raping of Africa's land remains oblivious or ignored by the media. It's a high price to pay for anyone to stand up completely...take a look at the Election going on the Congo (DRC) as an example...We have the Western Powers trying to impose an illegitimate president who's not even a Citizen of the country who refused to have a presidential debate (because he can't even speak the language that well, first of all) and has a salary of $400k a month...there are cheating, misleading and treats going on just so that he can win! This is why I disagree with the "childlike" comment because you have to take a closer look and see that the situation is much deeper and dangerous.

Go to Lubumbashi in DRC (A.K.A. Congo and Zaire), it's kind of cold...you'll experience the same kind of weather similar to Los Angeles but the rainy season is more beautiful.

I haven't been to Africa myself. But from what I've seen from the television is that there are lot of people in horrible conditions. There's always a program on TV, trying to get everyone to sponser a child there. So it seems like Africa is a poor, undeveloped country. And I've heard that a 2/3 people in Africa is suffering from Aids.

Africa is my home. There is no place like home. I live in South Africa. It's a beautiful and diverse country like the rest of the continent. It is also unfortunately the only continent that is entirely Third World. All states are Third world. It is the poorest continent. Poor people get exploited by the rich and get poorer. Global warming is making its mark in a very big way especially due to the fact that this is an agricultural continent more than enaything else. There are much to say about some states within this continent, both good and very bad and ugly.
