Africa

Anything cultural and political about Africa. It is high time to pay more attention to this gigantic continent, which is 3x larger than the US and contains immense resources. It is also the only continent which still experiences substantial demographic growth. Governance is catastrophically bad and corrupt, in most countries. Instead of gaining true independence, most African countries now are controlled by China. African countries really have to develop their civil societies and their understanding of classical liberalism to achieve greater individual liberty, which will be followed by greater prosperity.

Random suggestions for Africa

I debated some people from Africa who were miffed about how I highlighted some serious development issues. They countered with positive examples of major cities that actually did improve a lot, but I had to point out that the latest poll shows that almost 40% of Africans want to migrate somewhere else, so clearly, the problems remain huge. I created this list of positive suggestions... and yes, I'm well aware of how hard it will be to implement even a fraction of these points. But who knows, it might stimulate some positive thinking.

For Afro-Centrist Supremacists:

Every so often, you run into an Afro-centrist black supremacist. They are easily as annoying as Nazis or the KKK.
