Is it normal africans get mad when you say africa is poor when it is?

First of all know your facts.. There are 57 countries on the African continent. Now iv been to the USA and its scary how many of them don't understand that you can have 57 countries on one continent. Its the way that you have 3 countries on your continent North America which are :canada, USA and mexico..

Now the same way that Mexico is allot poorer than the USA, in Africa we have poor countries as well as rich countries!

I live in South Africa which is its own country, i live in a very rich part of the country in an expensive house and drive BMW's.

It does not matter where about in the world you live, there are and will always be rich and poor.

Having been to the USA i have seen how you get clever and stupid people. However i don't allow that to give me the impression that America has the dumbest people on earth and cause me to generalize, even though the majority of the world has that impression. Instead i prefer to find out some of the facts and make an informed decision..

There's a lot of wealth buried in African soil under the form of commodities (oil, copper, nickel, diamonds, etc) and it's African corrupt leaders fucking African common people over. But as always it's the west being blamed for buying these commodities in the first place... No matter what we do some leftist hippies will say we're wrong.

You actually speak to Africans on a regular basis? Lets just say I lived there myself, which I don't, but lets say I did. What good would it do for someone to mention to my face about the wealth of my area? Its not like anyone who says "Africa is poor" either cares about it much or has the ability to do something about it even if they wanted to.

Its easy for an outsider to just say its a poor place and carry on their taken-for-granted life but the person living it might not want to hear it. Perhaps its a problem with how things are run in the higher ups or some other problem that we don't deal with to really understand why. Still, mentioning it doesn't solve anything, I'd get mad too.

I once did a presentation on child labor in a college class. I showed a chart where child labor was most likely to occur (mind I tell you that Africa was on that list, there was also an African guy in my class) I said NOTHING bad about Africa. My dialogue for that slide was "here's a chart showing where child labor happens in the world." Unfortunately Africa was second on the list.

When I was done with my presentation, he comes up and does presentation on Africa... About 5 minutes in he basically attacks me and says "...africa is a beautiful place, and there is NO child labor there." I'm just sitting there pissed because he basically called me out for a chart that I didn't make, I just found it on google images. Another thing that made me mad was the fact that this guy is from africa, but the good part, and I'm sure he knew that there was, but didn't want to admit it. I'm from America and I'll gladly tell you anything bad about this country, I'm not going to tell you that this is the best place in the world. That's basically what he was doing. I'm not saying Africa is horrible, it does have the beautiful plains and all but there's still treacherous things happening there.

Your story fucking sucks bro

Africans, i.e., Black Africans, aren't the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree, so what do you expect?

Africa is a shithole, if you're born there, you're basically already fucked.

Lmfao dude, I read that intelligent and awesomely accurate comment to see that the fucking username is Naughtyboy666 . Way to go bro. Way to fucking go.

Not all of Africa's countries are poor.. So yes I understand them.

The truth hurts I guess.

I suppose it depends on whether the statement is said at an appropriate time, otherwise I can understand how it can be taken as an insult. Africa does have rich people living in it, but it is by no means wealthier than America.

Since the vast majority of Africans do not speak English, how do you know what they say.
You are a bit presumptuous aren't you?
