In every way. even if you look back at history and the way they dealt with the colonizers and their general attitude of white worship is what set them aside. West African are more likely to have this deep seated belief that whites are closer to God than them. There is something about West Africans that says we are less of a human than the white man. look at South Africa, don't you think the apartheird was a mercy for them than their current state of lynching and systematic killings of other Africans.
In what ways again? You made a sweeping statement saying West Africans are inferior to East Africans and I asked you to give me reasons. Forget about even giving me facts let alone intellectual observations, all you have given me is something an illiterate would have conjured up from the nether deserts of primitive parts of Somalia.
Also do you not think that,
in a very ironic way, your only use of "the white card" perhaps shows just your own subconscious viewpoint of Whites as important and the defining rubric of "inferior" or not in Africa has to be attributed to Whites as part of the factoring?
No I don't think, because you have proven time and time again how dumb you are.
You said also said something about history. What history does East Africa have that West Africa doesn't? In fact, if I can spin this the other way what history does East Africa have that levels up to Mali, Songhay, Ghana, Mansa Musa, Timbuktu which was the greatest of world knowledge at one point, etc etc etc?
Perhaps you are talking about Atlantic slave trade then? Does East Africa not have the Arab slave trade? How would that Atlantic slave trade proof anything about West Africa other then it is the geographic portion of Africa on the Atlantic slave trade?
Now I have given you ample time to come up with something even half-tangible or conclusive to support your sweeping assertion of "West Africa is inferior to East Africa" (when in fact I myself would argue the opposite) and you have come up with nothing.
Like Murax said:
West Africans=Food Secure, Emerging Economies, Industries, Rapidly Developing Infrastructre, Entrepenuers
East Africans=Constantly in the middle of some kind of famine, stagnant economies, dictorial regimes, lack of industries and exports, very poor infrastructre.
West Africa has Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, etc. The countries in Africa that are the most strongest economically and politically. They have the best consistently educated Africans in Africa and around the world. In fact the best educated specific group in the UK are Nigerians and the best educated specific groups in the US are Nigerians and Ghanians. They have Africa's richest people and the highest ranked rich Black African. They have history, and functioning societies, and the best literacy and developed culture in Africa. Etc etc etc
East Africa has Somalia (Africa's least developed and most failed state), Djibouti (a territory not worth the paper its name is written on), and Ethiopia (though gets the most amount of foreign AID in Africa, is one of the poorest and consistently most hungry).
In fact the only bright countries in all of East Africa are Kenya and Tanzania and given your history and what I believe to be your defining characteristic of East African and Western, (Bantu vs. Cushite), I might as well include Kenya and Tanzania's glory along with the West Africans.
I am surprised at the glaring irony behind your topic when in fact the opposite can be easily claimed with that being East Africa, is by all metrics of developed society, inferior to West Africa.
