This week I was researching the history of the modern African economy as well as the financial effects of “colonialism”, largely in an effort to discern if Africa is actually better off with or without western influence. One can of course argue that racial divisions like Apartheid in South Africa or segregation in Rhodesia have their own oppressive social effects beyond the financial. There’s also the argument that only “white colonists” ever benefited from the infrastructure they built (which is actually untrue, wherever white colonists were established, everything from water access to roads to medical care improved for everyone).
However, I think it’s fair to ask if these nations were experiencing growth and prosperity under white governance, or if things were relatively the same. We’re not supposed to talk about it – We’re only supposed to say “colonialism bad”. I don’t care about that, I just want to know what the realities are.
In the process I came across an interesting video featuring a black South African man who presented the race issue and the South Africa issue in a way that was simple but it brought impressive clarity. In summary he said:
“Africans are forever chasing the white man.”
What he means is, African culture, some elements of black culture, the third world in general, all of them are constantly trying to co-opt what white western culture builds. He argues that wherever the white population in Africa shrinks or migrates away, the country “becomes a shithole”. So, Africans chase white people.
When white people in Africa relocate to Australia, or Canada, or the US or Europe, the Africans try to follow. Instead of building up their own communities and nations they use and then eventually tear down the infrastructure that whites already built. They never replace it with anything else. Then they immigrate overseas to where the white people are because their own nations are in disarray. Eventually, they start tearing down those countries.
Leftists will call this a “racist” argument rooted in “white supremacy”, but this is a black South African making the point. It’s not racist, it’s just an observation of concrete fact. When Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and the whites were ethnically cleansed, the country collapsed and the black people starved to death.
South Africa systematically oppresses (or kills) the white citizenry because they want the land the whites own (they chase the white men). The Afrikaners are 7% of the population but make up around 70% of all agriculture and food production. Instead of seeing the white populace as a valuable asset to the country, they treat them as a foreign enemy. And so, the country falls deeper into economic despair and they are now on the verge of their own collapse.
When Matamela Ramaphosa, President of South Africa, sauntered into the White House with his big grin and his large entourage, he was there to get money. He wasn’t there to explain how he was going to improve conditions in his country. And, he certainly wasn’t there to debate the finer details of the ethnic cleansing of whites in his country or the government confiscation of their land. No, he was a black African leader petitioning a white US President for handouts.
In this case he believes his country is entitled to that money, so it doesn’t come off as begging so much as it comes off as arrogant conceit. If his country could build on its own, it would. If they had the ability to construct and innovate and maintain on their own, they would. Instead, they travel halfway across the world to the US. They chase the white man.
They’ve had over 30 years to get their system to work, and instead everything is broken. They can’t even keep their electrical grid and water functioning. And it’s not just South Africa, this is true for much of the third world. In Europe the populace is far more familiar with Africans chasing them, but we see a similar trend with Central and South Americans chasing whites in the US.
Wherever the west builds and creates and improves, the third world demands a piece. They arrive in vast caravans that stretch for miles. They arrive in boats on beaches in the night. They slip across borders and enter illegally like invaders because they see the west as something to be pillaged. They do not want to build their own thing. They don’t even know where to begin. They simply see what we have and they want to take it. They chase us wherever we go because they can’t emulate, they can only confiscate.
In progressive literature white people overall are elevated to the status of ultimate villains – The great oppressors that enslave and destroy. Yet, if this was true, why is it that the third world chases after us so much? You would think they would stay as far away from whites as possible, but they INSIST on immigrating to the west. Or they bitch and moan about our capitalist ways, but they never leave.
By extension, leftists will claim that white people are the “real invaders” that exploit and steal from the third world. In other words, we are “chasing the brown man”. But, if this was the case, then why aren’t white people rushing to migrate to Africa? Why is the western industrial presence in Africa in steep decline? Even black Africans leave Africa in droves when they get the chance to do so. No one is chasing the brown man. This is not a thing. No one covets what a beggar society has.
Now, I see this not as a race issue but as a cultural issue (I’m sure there are people who will debate that sentiment). If you look at countries like Japan or South Korea, they don’t chase white people. They build their own societies and fuel their own progress for the most part. They don’t need white culture or western culture to feed off of (China does, but that’s a whole separate article).
There are societies in the Middle East that remain relatively self sufficient, while others in the Middle East view the west as a target for conquest. The difference is in the culture, not the skin color. And what do most third world cultures have in common? The first thing is an oversupply of AK-47s, the second thing is they tend to be socialist or communist. These are beggar cultures with a beggar mentality.
In the US we can see this same mentality bleeding into parts of our own society. Every time leftist black American’s demand reparations or special privileges in employment and schooling or handouts through DEI programs, they are, in essence, chasing the white man. They want what the white man has and they’re not really shy about saying it. They didn’t build it or earn it but they want it, and if they can’t have it they will just as happily tear it all down.
The phrase “black fatigue” comes to mind, but again, it’s far more about culture than skin color. It’s something that white people like me aren’t supposed discuss.
Frankly, I find race divisions to be a distraction from the bigger problem, which is elitism and the sabotage of the west from within by wealthy oligarchs so that they can replace it with an authoritarian socialist “Utopia”. That said, I cannot ignore the fact that certain minorities in the US tend to lean majority far left, or that most third world migrants hold socialist ideals.
To be sure, there are millions of white woke liberals helping to fuel this fire, but again, most of the black community is happy to be used. These people become the enemy because they have allowed themselves to be weaponized in the hopes of getting a piece of the western pie before whole thing is ransacked. They don’t want to build for themselves, so, they voluntarily become the barbarians at the gate.
My advice to these people is to stop. Stop chasing the white man. Stop trying to feed off the western world. Put in the effort to construct your own great societies with your own accomplishments. No one is stopping you except yourselves. You are being duped into acting as a battering ram for globalism and multiculturalism; you are a tool for deconstructing the west.
By extension, stop coveting what white people have built within your own communities and start seeing such people as valuable allies in creating something better.
If you try to take from them they will eventually retaliate and it will not be a pretty sight. But, the interesting thing about white people (at least the conservative types) is that they will often help you if you ask nicely. Instead of threatening them, maybe try learning from them? Most white people I know love to improve their communities in any way they can, and they enjoy helping people who want to help themselves.
Instead of seeing white people as the enemy because of historic “crimes” which every single ethnic group has been guilty of, why not look to the future? Of course, this would require people in the third world to abandon their socialist leanings. Far left ideology is a poison that makes nations and cultures weak. It makes them perpetual beggars. To improve one’s future, one must aspire to create, not steal.
Why not stop chasing the white man and work with him instead?

Yeah.
Blacks are not compatible with modern society.
I avoid them like the plague after they murdered my brother for his car in 1973.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED for the BETTER since then, and when the SHTF, THEY better stay far away from my STREET and PROPERTY.
100%
Totally and wholy incompatible with any free open law-abiding Society, where people are not only allowed but they’re made to make their own decisions in life.
They’re simply not capable
Spain wants to introduce a plan to add 1 million migrants to boost economic activity.
How does this boost economic activity while the potential working force in your country is mostly unemployed??
I do agree, although partially, because the so called western civilization also has stolen (and still does) African resources. Greed will drive mankind to the abyss.
Eh, I disagree with that narrative. We’ve given them billions upon billions of dollars over the decades. The industry that develops African resources also injects billions in investments into various countries. They aren’t going to develop the resources themselves. The problem is not the west, the problem is African governments and their corruption. They mishandle and embezzle that money and very little trickles down to the populace. This is common in socialist countries.
You are correct
The US has spent over $17 trillion dollars on black American “uplift” meaning welfare since 1964.
Resources?
Huh?
You’ve swallowed the propaganda Anna.
The resources are still there Anna and they don’t do anything with them
This is how the western civilization “steals” those resources. They go to the leadership of those countries that have and control those resources. Then they pay those leaders in exchange for the resources. And those leaders keep the money for themselves.
That is not “stealing”. It’s “buying”. The problem is not the people buying the resources, it’s the corrupt “leaders” keeping them money for themselves and not reinvesting it into their own countries to improves the lives of their average citizens that are the problem.
Brandon, great article. You’re a good man for speaking the truth. Your article at the end should be inspiring for Socialist Leftists, but will they change? Nope. Not until they get their teeth kicked in. Then they might start to see the light. The Christian, conservative right is making a comeback and here’s someone who’s also pushing that cause.

Great article, but now for a truth bomb. The problem with people is not white, black, yellow, red, rich, poor, educated or uneducated. The problem with mankind is S-I-N… sin. As the Bible teaches we are born with a “sin nature” that is at odds with everything good thing God ever wanted for His creation. Because of our original rebellion everything is now screwed up and toppsy-turvy in the world. Good is bad… bad is good… up is down and down is up. We ENJOY being evil and degrading to each other as it feeds fleshly desires.
The answer, which God also provided, is Jesus Christ. He’s the answer to a world gone mad. He demonstrated how people SHOULD treat others. We can’t do it on our own, but with His help we can. One day soon He will come back to set up His kingdom of righteousness and justice. Until then we can love others with the same love He showed us by dying on the cross for our sins. Seek Him out today… He’s listening.
Seriously? The most violent, hateful place on Earth is the home of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Here’s why. Every religion has 3 tenets in common: We are right! You are wrong! We are better than you! This is the recipe for endless violence, mayhem and suffering. That is not to say that Jesus’ central message is not apt … learn to forgive those who have offended you. Yes, we would all be living in a more peaceful and prosperous world if people would learn that lesson. But, all religions divide people from one another.
I would say Atheism is far more divisive and violent than any religion on Earth. Atheism has murdered far more people (though Muslim fundamentalism is a close second). It’s okay for people to be divided by belief, as long as they stop trying to impose their will on other groups.
Everybody knows whatever the left wants you to mix with something it’s NOT for your own good.
Whether it’s other tribes, vaccines, GMO, sodomites, communism, or their God Satan, etc. Don’t EVER listen to them.
Typically when blacks act up, whether in America, Africa, or anywhere else on the globe, it’s because whites stirred them up to use them against another group of whites. In America, it was George Soros and the leftists that stirred up BLM. In South Africa, it was the ANC, African National Congress from Russia that stirred them up using Nelson and Winnie Mandela. Sometimes whites stir up blacks just to get them to fight each other in some kind of tribal warfare as a distraction from whatever their globalist agenda happens to be doing at the time.
As noted, white leftists play a big role in pointing third world populations at a target. However, those populations are only influenced so easily because they prefer to steal rather than create. They adopt socialism because it fits with their cultural habits. They are not innocent pawns, they know what they are doing to some extent.
A few years back I read a book that described the efforts to make micro loans available to individuals in African nations. I think the underlying idea was that if they took personal responsibility for their small business they would begin to ellicit change at the local level which would eventually grow larger and cause their society to begin to value personal responsibility and accountability.
In this book, the example given detailed the mindset of shutting down the business in order to go care for someone sick and again to visit someone not seen in a long time. No concept of needing to ensure there was monies available to make loan payments. The mini business did well when the Owner worked, but work was more for when there was a real need for money, not for building something. The business was at the convenience of the Owner/Lendee.
I had wanted to participate in the micro loan program via World Vision, but after reading this expose’ I chose not to do so…the culture was not self driven the way the West is.
I think it is important to not conflate African Americans with other Africans. We have plenty of examples of African Americans breaking free from inherited self pity and the Democratic Plantation that they bought into decades ago.
I would say maybe 10%-20% do break from the leftist/socialist fold (which is why I made it clear I was talking about leftist black Americans, and not all of them). That said, it looks like around 80% are firmly entrenched in the Democrat plantation.
As far as Africans and work goes, I would theorize the problem stems from them never actually leaving the hunting and gathering mindset behind. When the Boers arrived in South Africa, the indigenous people were part nomadic, and some were established with rudimentary farms, but they largely relied on hunting and gathering. This doesn’t translate very well to the western philosophy of planning for the long term.
Oh, and during the American Civil War the British used black slavery in the south in order to justify the war. Never mind that many blacks didn’t want to leave their slavemasters and actually fought for the south. Also never mind the fact that the north wanted to continue black slavery while removing it from the south. The real issue was that the globalists/British of that time wanted to destroy states rights in America so they could have a centralized government that they could enslave everyone with. So Abraham Lincoln didn’t really free the slaves; he just made slaves out of the rest of us to the Federal Government, which was subservient and paying taxes to Bank/Crown England. Remember that the original 13 colonies were established as a tax base for the crown of England. Yes, the founders ran the British troops off for a while when they got tired of British soldiers quartering in colonists houses and raping their wives, but they came back under the Federal reserve act of 1913 and they are taxing the breaking backs of Americans more now than ever before.
Jay, blacks are pretty good at stirring themselves up. I remember the LA riots back in the early 90s and I don’t know if Soros had a hand in that, but I wouldn’t doubt it if the globalists in general had a hand in creating the rap and drug war and even creating the whole Bloods v. Cripps feud.
NRE
They literally ruin everything
Are there blacks that are noble, intelligent, creative and competent? Yes, but they are a smaller percentage than in other groups.
My concern is for the white peoples. Our own percentage of wise and discerning people has dwindled severely. A century ago only few people went to college. Now a high percentage has, and for what outcome? It’s a very expensive brainwashing indoctrination. They think that plumbers, mechanics and electricians are stupid. Yet wisdom versus foolishness doesn’t come from sociology professors but from your parents and the Judeo Christian world view. The question should be: who all is behind the ruin of our own people? Some years ago I heard that people in the know were terrified of the GRIN: genetic modification/ robotics/ AI/ nanotechnology. That combination will soon enslave all humanity. What humans are so foolish yet capable of pursuing such madness?!!!
With what… 80% of white people yielding to fauci and gang it looks emphatically bleak right now.
I’m going to highlight a few things as a child of third world immigrants from Central America who was born and raised here and have never seen any other country but the US as my home and there’s a few things I want add here.
I grew up with local multigenerational (European descended) Americans who were more interested in motorcross, boating, or big trucks than going to school to become engineers or doctors or really any direction. And trust me I like those things too but I just read and completed my assignments as asked and went to a great school and became an engineer. My family was very frugal and hard working and they went from dirt poor to middle class and upper middle class in one generation.
Something commonly seen with people with my background and international students is multigenerational Americans in general did not work as hard. This is typically true of most peoples but in the realm of the top schools in the world and technology I’ve seen mostly internationals and children of immigrants pushing things forward and I don’t blame all of that on DEI. Remember I was born and raised here I saw who I was competing with and most kids didn’t care. Not a lack of intelligence but of effort or care.
I’ve also seen this in work. I currently maintain major systems that were let to rot by previous generations of engineers in this country. The original engineers were great 1950s greatest generation hard working types who built the systems I’ve helped maintain but over the decades lack of maintenance and a loss of discipline crept in the 70s, 80s and 90s. The hardworking, reliability based American engineer became more occupied with cost cutting and finances. Now I and many others like me are maintaining and trying to reverse the degradation of these systems. I am representative of a section of American engineers today. A child of immigrants trying to reversed decades of decay and rot.
I also want to highlight my ancestors had well developed math, temples and farming techniques here in the Americas before Europeans conquered them. Which who I am also descended from. Was it perfect probably far from it but nonetheless Europeans came for the resources and land.
I’m won’t take away from your argument that many foreigners come here because of the better way of life and don’t necessarily add but I also wouldn’t paint the picture that they just destroy either. I’ve met many Nigerians that are highly educated engineers or doctors and hard working.
I also strongly dispute that immigrants are generally socialists. Myself and my friends with similar backgrounds and our families do not agree with that ideology at all, far from it. In fact the opposite. There’s a reason why record numbers of minorities voted for T this last election.
Anyways I wrote this because myself, and many others like me, are who are maintaining the very systems keeping this country alive and our parents were not from here.
What you are presenting is an anecdotal argument, or the Vivek Ramaswamy argument, which is essentially taking exceptions to the rule and pretending they are the rule. First and foremost, international students and graduates in the US are a TINY percentage of their third world populations. Barely a blip on the radar compared to the populations of your respective countries (and these countries are mostly in shambles). If your cultures valued intelligence and accomplishment, then you would not be in America working or getting an education. You would be at home.
–
Second, international B1 workers are a negligible part of the American workforce. You don’t maintain ANYTHING. You are here because you work for cheap. That’s all. We don’t need you here to keep things running. This is what your employers tell you to keep you coming back to the US for 30% less pay. If you disappeared tomorrow, nothing would change in the US.
–
Third, you don’t understand American culture. We believe in accomplishment but also spending leisure time with family – balancing work and play. What you see as lack of drive is actually a care for family. The thing is, we are able to do both. We don’t have to abandon our families to achieve a comfortable life for them.
–
Fourth, nearly ALL migrants coming to the US come from nations that lean heavily to the political left (socialism) and most bring those ideals with them. That’s why the majority demand handouts the moment they get here. Yes, there are some who dislike socialism and we’re happy to keep those people here, but very few migrants from the third world have the ability to assimilate into Western culture. They always try to implant their culture into western culture instead.
–
You don’t keep us alive, friend. We don’t need you. You are simply lucky to be here, so show some appreciation.
Amen!
What most whites fail to understand is that black culture is vastly different than white culture and for the most part, they are antagonistic to each other.
Mayor Johnson of Chicago recently said the following- May 2025:
“What I’m saying is, when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet”
https://abc7chicago.com/post/us-department-justice-opens-civil-rights-investigation-chicago-hiring-practices-letter-mayor-brandon-johnson/16472280/
Yes, Mayor Johnson is a Marxist socialist just like LA Mayor Karen Bass who was AWOL during the Jan 2025 Palisades Fires because she was attending the inauguration of a Marxist President in Ghana.

Lastly, watch “The Empire of Dust” documentary from 2011 on the struggles of Chinese Logistics head Lao Yang as he tries to build a road in Kolwezi, Democratic Republic of Congo.

I think many here will sympathize with the Lao Yang and his struggles with irreconcilable cultural differences.
Going our separate ways and allowing each other to chart our own destinies would be the healthy thing to do.
We in this country have experienced the destruction first hand in recent time. Only need to review damage created by Obama himself.
