Dave that’s the most intelligent question posed to date, on this entire thread. (my opinion) Thank you. Disregarding the filth referred to above, that provocative post was a blog, one of many on the net.
Not a reliable source but a real (or not?) sad reflection of our society. There were horribly graphic, downright racist (extreme) propaganda and violence inciting rhetorical posts.
The one I posted had similar elements, plus swearing, but was less radical than most. It was on SA News Today. Not exactly the nation building scenario we need right now.
Taunting Malema is playing to his hand. (is this orchestrated to foster racial tension?) This is not farfetched in the least. It is not proven to be such, but I wonder. Malema enjoys support (for now) from very powerful people, including financial support and psyop propaganda. (Opinion)
The following link (source; UK Independent News) gives us a viewpoint of “history” from an African point of view and a bit of the bigger picture. It’s all about gold, uranium and fossil fuel deposits.
Inside France's secret war
For 40 years, the French government has been fighting a secret war in Africa, hidden not only from its people, but from the world. It has led the French to slaughter democrats, install dictator after dictator – and to fund and fuel the most vicious genocide since the Nazis. Today, this war is so violent that thousands are fleeing across the border from the Central African Republic into Darfur – seeking sanctuary in the world's most notorious killing fields http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...ar-396062.html

...not so sure about that. Lets take life expectancy and the child mortality rate 100years ago and compare it to now. Life was really short 100y ago. So the continent and its people have benefited from colonial/post-colonial development, just not nearly as much as other continents. If Sub-Saharan Africa was not developed by Europeans it would have seen no development at all. Africa had to catch up on millenniums of development in a relatively short period. It’s natural that Africa is how it is, so far behind. This combined with corruption from within Africa and from without, Makes Africa an easy target for economic manipulation and exploitation.
