    yeah they do. We just notice Africans more 'cause they look like us.

    ... and they don't send missionaries to those places then have 'em on TV taumbout "ony 5 cents a day can feed this child..." and throw some Serbian or Polish kid's pic on the screen.

    While I've never been, I know more than enough colored folk that have been to Africa, both Africans and Afro-Americans alike, and none are blacker for it. None are more down, none are more conscious, and none stopped saying "? " that weren't already not saying "? ".

    Poverty is relative. Alotta native people who walk around half naked don't see themselves poor but we would. Regarding developed countries, the U.K. had one of the highest poverty rates during the late 1990s, 1 outta 3 children were poor.

    Perhaps, but the fact that many of the low income areas are also undernourished areas implies this poverty is more than just a difference in perspective.

    nah, I'm just sayin they don't throw 'em in commercials. I see 'em in every documentary or tv show about former Eastern Bloc countries. They're out there, just in a different context.

    That is true. There is no getting around it. European poverty in general does not compare.

    We have to find some way to help Africa.
