1. The White man discovered the Black man, came and stole from the Black man through slavery and colonialism.

2. The Black man grew resistant to being managed by the White man so the Black man drove the White man away and declared independence to manage its own affairs and repair the damages caused by the theft of the White man.

3. So far, the Black man has failed to manage its own affairs, failed to repair the damages caused by the theft of the White man and has essentially stolen from its own self, causing more damage through corruption.

4. The Black man condoning neocolonialism now seeks aid from the White man through loans, grants, investments and reparations that come with terms and conditions allowing the White man to manage the affairs of the Black man, and this is history repeating itself all over again but this time with the Black man begging to be managed not forcibly managed.
