"You Lazy (Intellectual) African Scum!" A Compelling Read -

From "Mind of Malaka". A bracing must read for everyone who cares about Africa: 

“ That’s what we call your country. You guys are as stagnant as the water in the lake. We come in with our large boats and fish your minerals and your wildlife and leave morsels—crumbs. That’s your staple food, crumbs. That corn-meal you eat, that’s crumbs, the small Tilapia fish you call Kapenta is crumbs. We the Bwanas (whites) take the cat fish. I am the Bwana and you are the Muntu. I get what I want and you get what you deserve, crumbs. That’s what lazy people get—Zambians, Africans, the entire Third World.”




"They call the The Thied World, the lazy man’s purview; the sluggishly slothful and languorous prefecture. In this realm people are sleepy, dreamy, torpid, lethargic, and therefore indigent—totally penniless, needy, destitute, poverty-stricken, disfavored, and impoverished. In this demesne, as they call it, there are hardly any discoveries, inventions, and innovations. Africa is the trailblazer. Some still call it "the dark continent" for the light that flickers under the tunnel is not that of hope, but an approaching train. And because countless keep waiting in the way of the train, millions die and many more remain decapitated by the day".

“It’s amazing how you all sit there and watch yourselves die,” the man next to me said. “Get up and do something about it.”


Above are quotes from the article "YOU LAZY (INTELLECTUAL) AFRICAN SCUM!!!!!" which can be accessed by the link on the bottom of this page.


Come on, lets engage in an interesting and eye opening discussion about Africa our lovely continent, which is safe to say has not achieved it full potential. 


Whether you agree with Walter or disagree I am sure you would love your views to be heard.
