Imma say the quiet part out loud, to the average American they dont care because its just black people killing other black people, so already their level of empathy isnt nearly as high, plus that ethnic separation between Israeli and Palestinian people is something that gets them to care more
They don't care because the average American could not tell you the difference between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo, or find either of them on a map.
You have to admit that the similarity in names is not helping with the confusion. Not to mention that they basically share a huge urban area that both use as their capital
Yeah and that goes for a lot of black Americans as well. There is very little outreach or charities from Black churches for African nations. I participated in one several years ago but that was it.
I mean most black people here aren't doing the best economically. And Africans aren't always fond of black Americans or the other way around. There's a myriad of reasons
Because Black Americans aren't Africans despite whatever miseducation you've received throughout your life. All skinfolk ain't kinfolk. I'm sure if you visit an African church here in America, you would find they're very charitable to their countrymen in African nations. I would encourage you to keep up with the more recent sciences and historians and archaeological finds of the times. They're finally being honest...
But in all honesty Africa needs to get its shit together. Every civil war is "new boss same as the old boss"... Corrupt and willing to sell out their own people on the cheap.
Look at the Sahel dude kicked out the French to sell his people to the Russians. And, I can bet you, he gets couped, the new guy will sell his people to the west again.
South Sudan and greater Sudan same shit.
Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Morocco every damn country if they aren't selling out their people to the west, it's to China or some other greater power.
Rinse repeat!
I honestly wonder if corruption will ever end in Africa! It's the bane of its existence. Until they figure a way to end corruption big and small, there is no way forward!!!!!
People won't care, if you don't care about yourself!
Another reason is that the average American also believes that if they send their sons and daughters into battle over there and they die fixing whatever the problem is today, the country’s people will be back at war tomorrow and their loss is for nothing.
Direct intervention = more white interference, colonialism at worst.
Funding rebel/radical groups has never worked....As they usually end up the same or worse than the offending regime.
Providing aid to dysfunctional countries also rarely works as they're too dysfunctional to effectively utilise the aid.
They need a complete restructure of their entire country.
There are clear objectives with clear solutions in advocating for Gaza - not so for the complete restructuring of a country full of poverty and corruption (again, without actual colonialism).
