Africans that come into America do an outstanding job, should we send more teachers and doctors out their to help the dark continent and the motherland of all humans?
 
lol @ "dark continent. Africans aren't all black, you know.

Some countries in Africa do have good education available while some don't. The problem with the countries that don't, is that many are torn by war and there are many problems to consider regarding their government. Many African countries have corrupt governments, and many have been put in place by other countries or forces, usually the UN or Western countries. First, these countries need to stop getting involved in political affairs unless there is a genocide taking place. But the problem is that many of these countries are benefiting by having many African countries in political strife. Their prosperity is almost dependent on having access to Africa's resources and to continue receiving them for next to nothing is what helps them and puts Africa at a disadvantage.

China, however, is gaining access to some African resources in various African countries in exchange for building roads and buildings in those countries. This is why many Africans respect China or value their relationship with China.

So while it is a good idea to send more teachers to Africa, many other changes need to occur in many sub-Saharan African countries, like the end of many civil wars, ending the disconcerting influence that Western countries have on African politics, removing these corrupted officials, and make sure that all of Africa's exports are distributed by fair trade organizations. But the problem with the last part is that people don't want to pay a lot for coffee, jewelery, and other things and the price of these things will definitely raise. Western countries are very capitalistic, so I don't believe this will happen any time soon.
 
I say let them breed themselves to death. Send guns and ammo instead of food and medicine to the ungrateful continent of stupidity.
 
The question is suspiciously charitable, it has more than a whiff of mischief, and the more I think of it, is probably shot through with malicious racism. "The dark continent" ? Please emancipate yourself from the 19th century!

Africa has seen enough do gooders and compassionate interlopers, and too many of them end up (like Kurtz) bringing great harm to themselves and deep degradation to the "benighted" natives they claim to be trying to uplift.

Africa is a continent rich in most of the world's most sought after natural resources. Let Africans continue the work of their development, with their own best trained and indigenous minds. Let their politicians and leaders stop lining their pockets with their people's money. Let them stop making their national treasuries their personal bank accounts. Let them stop exporting such large amounts of their nations' monies to Swiss banks and other such shelters.

Genuine cooperation and partnership, yes. Patronage and condescension, no!
 
Dark continent?...what makes Africa a dark continent?
That is kind of ignorant.
African's are HIGHLY educated as the standards are set much higher than they are here as well as discipline. They work harder because a lot of them know that that is the only way out of their situation (if it is a bleak one). Please do not send anyone there to mess up or Americanize the school systems. Yes, send doctors there to help educate other doctors and nurses on advanced medicine. Give them the resources.

And..if they do an "outstanding job" when they come here, shouldn't the US bring educators from Africa to the states???

And "their" is the wrong form...I think you meant THERE...simple grammar...
