Chapter 1510: Going Upstream (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Yes help!
It’s giving!
Isn’t it the job of a civilized society to help people in backward areas enter and adapt to modern society?

Just like what the Western powers such as Britain and France shouted when they entered Africa - "Barbarians, we will bring civilization to you!"

Now, those people also need modern civilization!
"Modern civilization does not mean that one enters modern civilization just by forming a government. It takes time for human beings to enter modern civilization..."

This may seem a little politically incorrect, but it is also true.

“The most absurd thing in this world is that humans always use all kinds of correctness to treat reality, but completely ignore the reality. In fact, a tribal area cannot enter the modern society just because of a government decree!

Last year, more than 20 African regimes established the Organization of African Unity (OAU). This organization was given too much idealism and too many goals, such as liberating southern Africa from white rule and making a unified voice for Africa on the world stage.

But in reality?

Since their independence, the so-called "independent countries" have been plunged into war, famine and coups... The former colonial powers left, but what happened to those countries that gained so-called freedom?
It is one humanitarian disaster after another, it is massacre, famine, and war.

While some people swear to talk about the crimes of the colonial era, they are slaughtering people at will in their own country, levying heavy taxes and levying heavy taxes, and they are letting their people fall into hunger.

But this does not prevent those people from standing on the international stage and saying a cliché - colonialism is a sin!
When their people were starving because of their extortion, they blamed the colonial rule for the evil. They demanded aid and compensation from their former colonial masters for the oppression during the colonial era.

Yes, they were compensated, only last year for the so-called independent states..."

The newspapers listed one number after another of the aid that the independent countries had received since their independence, but of course they only listed the figures of aid they had received.

In fact, most of that foreign aid came from the United States and the Soviet Union.

African countries in this era are undoubtedly happy.

Against the backdrop of the Cold War, every newly independent country was the object of contention between the two major camps of the East and the West, and the way to gain support was simple and crude - give money!
At the same time, it is also trying to win its own supporters in Africa. This situation obviously gives African leaders a lot of opportunities, and many leaders begin to use the competition for interests among various parties to seek benefits for themselves and their countries.

Stupid people and lots of money!
It is no longer normal to describe the "big money-spending" between major powers during the Cold War. Last year alone, they received billions of dollars in aid. With the aid of various countries, they built a large number of railways, roads, schools and hospitals. Their capitals and major cities are full of high-rise buildings, and their municipal construction is not inferior to the level of Europe at the same time.

Compared to them, many places in Asia are simply countryside, just rural areas, which is what Africa is like today.

Anyone who is not amazed by the cities in African countries must have seen the world. But even so, Africa has not been able to be saved from poverty.

"…What became of those aids and loans? Some of them became buildings, schools and roads, but more of them became deposits in Swiss banks, luxury homes in London and Paris, and the luxury goods they wore.
In short, in Africa, holding power means holding everything. Since seizing power is the fastest way to acquire wealth, some people are no longer satisfied with the step-by-step promotion. A faster way to gain power is a coup d'état.

As a result, coups in African countries are endless..."

Along with this news in the newspaper, the world turned its attention to Africa for the first time. At that time, there were not so many white leftists, but in contrast, there were many conservatives.

For those who have experienced the economic difficulties after the war, their first reaction after seeing the news is - damn! How can those politicians take our money and let those African politicians squander it.

As the news reports went deeper, especially the TV stations also broadcast special reports, it revealed that the so-called "happiness after independence" of independent African countries was actually the happiness of a group of corrupt officials.

All the Europeans were stunned. They didn't expect that their money was wasted like that. They didn't expect that those seemingly righteous African politicians were actually that kind of people. They talked about independence and freedom, but all they thought about was business.

As a result, a force opposed to providing aid to Africa was formed in Europe, and under the intentional or unintentional guidance of public opinion, almost all of Europe believed that black people were incapable of governing their own country.

This is not discrimination, it is reality.

Faced with such voices, the leaders of independent African countries naturally refuted with the excited voices unique to African leaders, and kept saying that this was the inherent discrimination of white people against black people.

In addition, many progressive people in Europe, the United States and other countries accused newspapers and television stations of "inherent racial discrimination." While the two sides were engaged in a war of words, ABC TV in the United States launched a special column - Africa Today.

"...Rather than saying he's the president, it's better to say he's a poisoner." In response to the host Thomas' question, the pastor sitting on the sofa said.

"...Five years ago, just before independence, he won the first and only election against the will of the local colonial powers. Some say he used the power of terrorism and voodoo. You know, they are very backward, most people don't understand what elections are, and now they don't need to understand."

“Is this Mr. President a very rude person?”

Thomas asked.

"Sir, he's more than violent. He's a lunatic, a deranged megalomaniac, and a monomaniac. He's completely arbitrary, and he surrounds himself with a small group of political yes-men. If they quarrel with him or arouse his suspicion in any way, they are thrown into a cell in the old colonial police barracks. It is said that he personally goes to the cell to supervise the torture of those people. No one gets out of there alive."

"Oh my God, what kind of world is this, Father? Why didn't anyone stop him?"

"Stop? Not only will no one stop them, but people will also rush to send them money and supplies. You have to know that they have as many votes in the United Nations as Britain and the United States!"

The sarcastic words were met with laughter.

"He doesn't listen to anyone else. Of course, he has his own voice. I heard a few white people who insisted on staying say so."

"His voice?"

Thomas asked.

"Yes, sir. He claimed to the people that he was guided by the voice of God. He said he could talk to God. He said so much to the people and to the assembled diplomatic corps."

“Oh my god, it’s God.”

Thomas still had a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Sometimes I think we made a mistake in introducing Africans to God. Now it's as if half of their leaders are brothers with God!"

"In addition, he ruled by a kind of hypnotic terror. People believed that he had some kind of powerful spell, 'voodoo', witchcraft or something else. In this way, he made everyone live the most miserable life in fear of him personally."

In the following interviews, the pastor told people the most real side through his field experience, and this is just the beginning. In the following time, ABC TV will broadcast an episode of "Africa Today" every week. In this talk show, there are interviews with people who have lived and worked in Africa for a long time. Of course, there are also many live shots from Africa.

What the audience saw on the TV screen was not just the exotic customs, but more of the chaos and turmoil that those African countries had fallen into after independence, and of course the mansions of those presidents and senior officials, which formed a sharp contrast with the extreme poverty of the people.

Although no one in the TV program said that Africans obviously do not have the ability to rule a country, the entire program conveyed the idea that Africans do not have the ability to rule or govern a country, at least not yet.

Although the influence of this implicit indoctrination will still be evident at the moment, it will surely become apparent little by little in the days to come.

At least it will prevent people from being so naive as to think that Africans will live a happy new life as long as the colonial rulers leave.

The leaders of African countries are naturally angry about such programs. After all, such programs directly expose the lies and rhetoric they have always used - that Africa's poverty is caused by the colonial rulers.

What is even more terrible is that faced with such truth being revealed, European and American countries have cut their aid to African countries. After all, they have to take the people's wishes into consideration. When the people think that the original materials have become deposits of senior African officials in Swiss banks and luxury homes in New York, London, Paris and other places, they naturally cannot be as lavish in aid as in the past.

In response, officials from African countries have condemned ABC TV's racially discriminatory programs, and even accused the United Nations General Assembly of a new round of discrimination by white colonists, saying that not providing aid would be discrimination against black people. Perhaps, in their context, this is the case.

But in any case, with the continuous efforts of many TV stations and newspapers, a trend of thought that goes against the historical trend is being promoted little by little...
