People always say that after visiting the continent or other parts of the Diaspora. Or even ghettoes in America. "We need to give back...we need to give back..." Give back by doing WHAT, specifically, keeping in mind that what can be done in these countries is usually STRICTLY controlled by the leadership from those countries. In many cases, the last thing in the interests of these leaders is the needs of the people in that country. One of the many scars Europeans left on African countries, South American Countries, and the Caribbean is the horrid lesson of how a leader can drain the country of its resources, pocket the profits, and allow the people to starve. This is a common theme found in Africa, The Caribbean, etc. So. In light of that, amongst many other obstacles, what is it exactly that you think we should and could realistically DO to ameliorate suffering?
