FROM AMERICA AFRICA RECEIVED THE RELIGION OF SALESMANSHIP
Large parts of Africa, similarly to many other areas of the world, have learned little more than the false religion of salesmanship.

That largely from America.

What we find is that selling an idea of how things are is often far from the true facts. That is particularly true in Africa. The realities of how things really are can elude a people for a very long time. When the truth chances to be seen, usually because of some sudden and unusually large change, it shocks the people. With each such shock they become more and more disillusioned by failed expectations build up by salesmanship. Eventually they stop believing in anything or anyone.

That is America's biggest contribution to African politics.


Cheers.
