I suggest that the reason Africa is a mess is because of the damage colonialism did. Pre-colonial there were many highly organised and successful societies that produced among a great many other achievements the Benin bronzes, Great Zimbabwe, the Kingdom of Kush and the Sao culture.
These societies were not "highly organised" or "successful". There was some minor division of labour, but very little attempt to organise or invest for the future (just as in modern Africa), no functioning legal system, nor educational system, nor scientific curiosity or research. As for their "art" it was crude in the extreme and cannot in any way be compared to the exquisite art, music, architecture, dance that was contemporary in Europe and Asia.
The UK (and other European countries) need to confront this illogical political correctness in our immigration policies. Certain ethnic groups and religious groups are just too expensive and difficult to integrate, and cause problems over many generations. We should absolutely do our best to integrate as best we can those who are already legally here - but just let's stop letting any more in! There is a continual drip-drip articles in the UK press that the failure by UK Afro-Caribbean population to perform adequately in the educational system in the UK is down to racism by the white majority, or that the fact that so many are in prison is due to "racism" by our police force and criminal justice system, or that the latest terrorist outrage by muslim immigrants is nothing to do with the refusal by muslim immigrants to accept our way of life. In my view, this tolerance has proved a failure, and will lead to more problems in the future. If Brexit does happen, it is likely that immigration from the red and yellow countries on that IQ map will increase at the expense of immigration from blue countries, especially if we end up with a racially indignant labour minister in the Home Office such as David Lammy.
