I totally agree with the above extracts from the Irish Writer.
I mean - he comes from a country that takes pride in being the 'foolish' drunk butt of jokes that 'sponges' off the EEC for want of getting sober with England, Wales & Scotland.
Africans?
Shall the world stop feeding their 'Western' ways?
Because we all know that a Black Man in North America is a Labourer and nothing more than a Wanker.
While the Black Man of Asia is an 'Academic' ...which is why Obama kept trying to be President of Asia, more than America.
So Mr 'Western' Irish Writer - its YOUR Western ways that have 'dominated' Africa to be as YOU want them to be.
If you suddenly change your ways and stop feeding their 'Failings' for your culture...
...then you might as well stop feeding the poor downtrodden Convicts of Australia that are living the high life as one of the most wealthiest and expensive nations on the planet. A nation of over-indulgent Gays of near minimal hetero-breeding capability, for want of preference to have little white fluffy dogs as pets to can 'afford' to go to expensive VETS.
Yes - the HYPOCRISY is evident.
Me thinks the Irish Writer needs to point the blame at the USA/UK/Eire and WESTERN (North America & Western Europe) ways that made Africa in its own image.
...now one day, Mr Fred Hollows paid Eritrea a visit and his 'influence' there sparked a disciplined, self-sufficient, independent, honourable 'culture' of pride and progression.
Eritrea 'sparkled' and grew as if seeing the light for the first time.
...of course, after Mr Hollows passed on. Eritrea was to find itself 'bullied' by the much larger Ethiopia and turn back into that lazy AFRICAN-AMERICAN style of being lazy, based on lust and living in a card-board box with a glory hole.
Yep - YOU WESTERNERS used your 'domination' via POWER to make Africa what it is today.
...but hey, this is where the 'real' Australia will come into it and I'm not talking about the
'Western'
version either
