@rajzep Ehh, maybe. But fairness would involve them not getting any foreign aid. I suppose it depends greatly on what you define fair as - which doesn't seem to be a real definition.

The world should be fair to Africa

Glad that I took time to watch this documentary. I know very little about what is going on in this part of the world.

I pray for the eventual emancipation of the Africans. We in the western world have so much to be thankful for. Let us pray for them and give as much as we can.

I was referring to Western Europe, sorry I didn't make that clear. As to the other nations of "the Americas": yes, their wealth was built from slavery as well- but only after the Western Europeans, the "conquistadors" had wiped out their native populations.
It is the most powerful countries which profitted the most from and had the most invested in the slave trade.

that simply giving money will be the solution. Did you even watch this video? Easy ideas, such as donating clothes or giving large sums of, are not solutions.

Rather than point out countries that benefitted from slavery, you only mention powerful Western nations. Eastern European nations had few to no interests in Africa. And when you say America, how about every other country in the Americas that has a significant black population nowadays? From Brazil to the Caribbean, there are plenty of other countries that built themselves on the blood, sweat, and tears of imported Africans.
I'm not even going to point out the absurdity of your notion |
