No offense, but in current economic system, since last 10 years, on average, what is the economic contribution of Africa compared to world?
Some of the fastest growing economies are in Africa. Some analysts view it as having the potential to be a core of productivity not too far in the future, especially given its demographic and natural resources.
But it’s a very diverse place, being a continent with many countries, so answering your question is very difficult. Can you be any more specific?
Being underdeveloped in infrastructure and its original history and identity broken and exploited by the west and currently china.
I cant believe it’s doing well on economic output in comparison with those established exploiters.
Now on why the fuck is this rhetoric even relevant to a cool map guid in how our perspective of size on earth is distorted?
I’m assuming the poster doesn’t speak English as a first language, so I’m hopeful it was a more innocent question than the racist dog whistle it seems like at first glance.
I can see why one might be curious about the economic comparisons between different geographic spaces with vast sizes, even though it’s almost impossible to really answer.
I’m not feeling as charitable as you. The fact that they started with “no offense” tells me they know they’re saying something offensive. I think it’s a way of saying "Sure they’re geographically big, but they don’t contribute as much to the world as western (white?) countries.
Every superpower is currently in a race to mine the natural resources. A lots gonna happen in the next ten years and I doubt much of it will be good for the average African.
What does that question even have to do with the post?
And we’re talking about the African continent. There are 54 African countries/nations. They have a combined GDP of $2.8 trillion USD, similar to France.
“no offense” lol and then you go on to ask a random ass question that’s usually meant to offend. why are you bringing up GDPs in Africa anyway?
if you’re actually trying to learn something, then what’s the “no offense” for? it sounds like you want us to draw a controversial conclusion - probably that Africans are lazy or something. if you actually believe this and are behaving this way online, then there’s probably no point in trying to explain how the consequences of colonization continue to hold back development in many African nations.
why don’t you take your dogwhistles elsewhere, or at least learn some social cues. “no offense” is a pretty idiotic thing to say and might best be removed from your vocabulary. because, no offense, you sound like a fucking moron.
