The Real Africa

The Media still attacks Whites for 50-year-old segregationist policies yet they continue to ignore the fact that blacks are their own worst enemies.  All the blacks living in America should feel blessed that their ancestors were brought here against their will.  American blacks live better than any other black population in the world, and most poor blacks are able to feed off the backs of productive Americans.  They should feel lucky; they could be in Africa living in squalor and participating in one of the continent’s multiple ongoing civil wars.

Rebels controlled the diamond fields and used the sale of the gem to buy guns. The rebels were allegedly trained and backed by Charles Taylor, the warlord of neighboring Liberia.

For over a decade, the rebels roamed Sierra Leone’s jungles, raiding villages, vying for control of the nation’s diamond fields…
