Are Africans Tougher And Stronger Than Europeans And Americans?
Rural African students study with the help of a kerosene lantern and some become doctors and engineers
In the United Voice News Magazine, April 2, 2016 edition, I read that ISIS attacks in Brussels, Paris, and California may be just the beginning of an unprecedented plot to bring America to its knees by targeting our nation’s scandalously vulnerable electric grid, warn officials at the Pentagon and FBI.
The report further reveals that: On a conventional battlefield, ISIS can’t beat America with brute military force because America is too strong for them. The interesting part of the article is: Everything will be fine, when the power goes out for few hours, but should the power go out for over a year, 9 out of 10 Americans would likely perish.
It really sounds funny to read such news, knowing that there are thousands of villagers in Africa, who have never enjoyed light before since they were born, yet they are the healthiest and happiest people on earth.
From school, they learn, read and write with the help of only kerosene lanterns. I’m back to what I have repeated over hundred times. Are Africans tougher and stronger than Europeans and Americans?
When it comes to issues pertaining Africa, only a few people interested, but learning something from Africa, in regard to survival and discipline in schools, will be beneficial to Europeans and Americans if they put pride behind them.
Frankly speaking, without any ammunition, guns or war tanks, Africa will defeat Europe and America if they stand toe to toe in a physical fight, because Africans are physically strong.
Africans don’t need the power to live or survive. They already have a long lifespan without electricity, before the vaccine against malaria was discovered and before they were hit by medical crime at the hands of Europe and America.
Africa needs support, healing, and development, not underdevelopment and depopulation because that rejected continent, will one day be a safe haven for Europeans and Americans.
