The total amount of foreign aid the West has given Africa between 1960 and 2013 is over $5 Trillion. That's the equivalent of 50 Marshall Plans. Is it time for the West to withdraw all of its aid to Africa?

00:00:00.000 We bring up Africa all the time of why is it that this continent is unable to kind of stand on its own legs?
00:00:06.140 Of course, often if you go to the mainstream, it's because of, again, white supremacy, it's colonialism.
00:00:10.800 We took all the resources. We even took all their knowledge from their brain. 0.96
00:00:14.880 But we can look at a couple of devastating infographics about just how bad and how dire the situation is,
00:00:21.320 especially when it comes to the West trying to prop up this continent.
00:00:25.500 The total aid to Africa from 1960 to 2013 comes up to over $5 trillion, or the equivalent of about 50 Marshall plans.
00:00:38.680 I mean, Germany was utterly destroyed after the Second World War, right?
00:00:42.440 They became an economic powerhouse with just one Marshall plan.
00:00:46.380 Here's another one, a game of give and take.
00:00:48.240 Foreign aid by country in 2014, and you have the donor, and then you have the recipient.
00:00:54.680 And, of course, as usual, we're talking about a situation where North America, Europe and Russia, Japan you have a little bit.
00:01:05.520 They're joining us. They're part of the axis after all, right?
00:01:08.760 Are the donors, right? And total aid given is in billions.
00:01:13.280 In the recipient category, we have, of course, Mexico and then South America.
00:01:17.540 If you go down on the American continent, all of Africa, essentially, with the exception of a couple of countries.
00:01:23.360 And then you have Asia, for the most part. 0.62
00:01:26.160 These are the takers, and then you have the producers.
00:01:29.700 And yet, we are, of course, blamed for everything all the time.
00:01:33.000 And I've shown this a couple of times, too.
00:01:34.980 Just showing how much a country like Sweden is giving to Africa. 0.95
00:01:39.800 The whole continent.
00:01:41.020 We're talking about a country of now about 10 million people.
00:01:44.620 Is giving aid to a continent of almost 1.5 billion people.
00:01:50.460 Like, how is this possible?
00:01:52.240 And this is just in one year alone.
00:01:54.180 What we've been given, 1 billion to Africa.
00:01:57.420 We don't have any return investments.
00:01:59.500 There's nothing we've done to the continent.
00:02:01.300 This is not, you know, reparations.
00:02:02.860 We're not paying back for anything.
00:02:04.520 There's nothing like that.
00:02:05.300 We got nothing out of this situation except just pouring money down this drain.
00:02:09.560 You have to ask yourself, why is it?
00:02:12.960 I brought it up last week, too, right?
00:02:14.880 Here's this white woman. 1.00
00:02:17.060 They have to come from, like, northern Idaho down to Uganda to help them build the school.
00:02:21.840 Why is it that these men can't achieve this and do this on their own?
00:02:25.360 And how much more money do we have to pay?
00:02:26.980 I mean, this is basically reparations 50 times over already.
00:02:30.120 If there were any complaints at any point about so-called colonialism,
00:02:33.820 and, of course, in many cases, we left the countries in a better state than they were before.
00:02:38.380 They're still using the infrastructure that we set up.
00:02:41.340 You're welcome.
00:02:42.400 But if that was ever any complaint, we have repaid the so-called sin of colonialism now 50 times over.
00:02:50.000 How much more money are we going to have to pour into these countries
00:02:53.760 before they're able to actually do something on their own and start pulling their own weight?
00:02:59.360 Considering that we're all equal, I think it's time to actually withdraw this aid
00:03:03.080 to prove that white supremacy, in fact, is not part of the equation here.
00:03:07.720 And we don't owe anything to these people.
00:03:10.260 Let's see what happens in that point.
00:03:11.760 Can you imagine if we actually started investing this money onto ourselves,
00:03:15.620 onto our own scientific progress, new technologies, taking care of our own people?
00:03:20.280 Holy smokes, we would be in a million times better position than we are today.
