Which we do. They don't. We inherently strive for it. They don't. We instinctively pursue it. They don't...If you were superior you'd support maintaining our country with funding for educating our children, paving our highways and investing in science. Right? The fact that most African nations don't do this is why they're shit holes.
We certainly don't instinctively pursue it. Nor is it inherent. It's learned and it's mandated. Otherwise, half our population would probably be semi-educated in substandard religious "home schooling" environments that thinks creationism is science.
We are FORTUNATE. We've had over 200 years of freedom, self governance, a RICH in resources nation and we haven't been occupied by foreign powers. We don't have the diseases that afflict Africa, we don't have the droughts, the famines or other natural disasters that make living there and creating stability more difficult in certain areas. That's not the only reason of course - but to blame it on race alone ignores the successful African countries that never make it in the news.
Which is the best African country to live in? How region stacks up in the 'good society' stakes
Tunisia has the highest overall ranking on the index. It scores highest in the areas of child well-being, environment and infrastructure, education, and social sustainability and social cohesion. In the overall rankings, it is followed by Cape Verde and Botswana, which has the highest scores in both safety and security, and integrity and justice. Ghana (seventh overall) tops the economic performance ranking; South Africa (ninth overall) performs best in democracy, freedom and governance; and Egypt (fourth overall) scores highest in health and health systems. Only Botswana and Cape Verde perform above average in all components of the index. Tunisia scores slightly below average in economic performance.
On the other end of the spectrum, Chad is the lowest-ranked country, scoring worst in child well-being and very poorly in the education, and social cohesion and social sustainability measures. The Central African Republic, Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo perform only marginally better, scoring very low in safety and security. The Central African Republic scores lowest in education. Zimbabwe is worst ranked for integrity and justice.
