In the United States, the so-called “poor” have safe water, 12+ years of public school education, a telephone, food, electricity, most have a car, cable TV, Internet access and air-conditioning.
In the capital city of Ghana, 91% of homes don’t have an indoor toilet.
See? That’s why we should pony up our U.N. taxes, to buy toilets for the rest of the world which envy us. Maybe then they and our self-loathing libtards will cease crapping all over us … when we are all equally impoverished and led by altruistic and anointed strongmen. Can I hear an amen?
Yesterday, Haiti’s “Baby Doc” Duvalier, the brutal dictator (and puppet of French banks) made his triumphant return to Haiti. Apparently, that election / democracy thing isn’t working out so well.
Daniel Ortega is back in power in Nicaragua.
President Obama is about to relax trade restrictions with Cuba.
Panama’s Manuel Noriega is over in France (in prison) following his release from U.S. custody in 2010. England has already proven how trivial it is to release a prisoner on a phony pretext once they are out of U.S. custody.
China is showing off its new “stealth” fighter plane that probably exceeds the capabilities of the F22, the now cancelled U.S. fighter program. The F35 fighter program is bogged down in problems and cost overruns at about $100 million per plane.
Equilibrium is returning to the world.
Hey, how about those NFL playoffs!
This, of course, is why the US elected a president who is all about wealth redistribution. After all, the poor in this country should also be entitled to a big screen television and the ability to eat out at least three times a week, just like workin’ folks do. Let’s see some more of that Obama money being spread around, shall we?
Let’s not forget the free cell phones – in TN the “poor” can get them FREE.
Starting in the 1820s, some well-meaning Americans created Liberia in Africa, as a place to return freed slaves to their native continent. If you listen to “black” radio, frequently you’ll hear callers longing to return to their “homeland” so they can return to be with “their people”.
I would support an exchange program to pay for “African Americans” to visit Africa for a few months (not resettle) – not as a VIP given special treatment, but as an ordinary human living among the population of Liberia. The Liberians quickly realized they aren’t African, and never could become Africans. They were rejected as having “American blood”, didn’t speak any native languge, didn’t have a native religion, and didn’t have ties with any tribe. In a tribal society, that puts you in no-man’s land. The Americans lived mostly on the coast, and avoided contact with the inland areas where the “savages” lived.
Per capital GDP of Liberia is $500 per year. Only 15% of the people have a “job”. Life expectancy is about 56 years. Women have an average of 6.8 children. Half of the population is under 18 years old. 7% of children don’t survive to their first birthday. About the only economic activity left is begging for aid from outside the country and allowing ships to pretend they are owned by Liberian shipping companies.
After a couple months living in that environment, Black Americans returning to the United States would kiss the ground we live on and the freedoms we all enjoy – the only person left still aspiring to be “African” anything might be Jesse Jackson.
