Chapter 1065 Black Paradise
Even if black people are included in the total population data of East Africa, their proportion is only about 5%. The black population in the United States accounts for about 14% of the total population of the United States, and has surpassed East Africa to become the largest black country in the world.
Yes, through the "efforts" of East Africa, the United States has become the country with the largest black population in the world. Although West Africa is the hometown of black people, the West African countries are fragmented and further divided by European and American colonists. This makes the single country or colony of West Africa The black population is nowhere near that of East Africa or the United States.
Although there are only more than 7 million black people left in East Africa, given the generally low productivity in West Africa, it is difficult for a single black country to have a population exceeding this number. For example, Nigeria, which had the largest population in Africa in its previous life, is still just a geographical concept. , distributed in many countries and tribes, as well as colonies of Britain and other countries.
The entire territory may have a population of more than 10 million, but it cannot be considered a country. It can be divided into at least two British protectorates of Nigeria, the Kingdom of South Germany (occupied part), and local indigenous forces.
The Abyssinian Empire has a population of over ten million, but Abyssinia is a mixed race and is not a single black country. Especially in East Africa, after excluding the black areas in Ethiopia and the south in the previous life, the entire Abyssinian population Among them, black ancestry actually accounts for a smaller proportion.
“Today, if we use illegal workers for more than ten years at most, they will probably wither away naturally. This also means that our country’s economic development will face transformation problems.” said East African Transport Minister Derich.
Black people in East Africa are basically adult males. Even if East Africa wants to use them as "perpetual motion machines", their lifespan constraints will not allow it. With their lifespan, they will be considered long-lived if they last more than ten years.
The reduction in the number of black people is obviously detrimental to the current industrial development in East Africa, because black people are the cheapest labor force in East Africa and have made great contributions to the early development and later industrial construction of East Africa.
"Eliminating the role of black people in our country's industries is an inevitable path for our country's economic development. We cannot always rely on external labor to support our country's development. Moreover, the jobs held by black people are concentrated in the lowest-end industries, which can be completely provided by our country. Human replacements are just not as useful as black people.”
"However, this does not have much impact on us. At present, our country's development and transformation of the whole country has been basically completed, and a relatively systematic water conservancy, railway, and highway transportation network has been built. This also means that the most difficult time has passed. "Compared with other parts of the world, our conditions in East Africa are not bad," said Sweet.
Derich: "According to the preliminary development goals for this century, our country still has at least 100,000 kilometers of railways, millions of kilometers of roads that have not been completed, and more water conservancy projects that have not been completed. At the same time, there are many risky industries, such as the mining industry. It all requires the help of black workers.”
“And the degree of mechanization in our country is not high now. It will take at least several decades to achieve a high degree of mechanization. Before that, black labor can greatly save our costs.”
For East African government departments such as the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Ministry of Railways, the importance of black labor is particularly prominent. Before East Africa, there was not a decent road in East Africa today, let alone a railway or canal. In the early days of East Africa, transportation and water conservancy were , agricultural development, it is no exaggeration to say that it is supported by black people.
Of course, as the population grows, blacks are no longer needed in most fields in East Africa, such as agriculture. Blacks have been completely eliminated in East Africa. Today, the use of blacks in East Africa is mainly concentrated in infrastructure construction and extractive industries.
Sweet said: "The elimination of black workers is a basic national policy. Due to their age, many black workers eat more than they work, so we cannot just wait for natural elimination. We also need to restore part of the shipping business and send them to West Africa. "
Of course, as Sweet said, it is a good idea to find a way to send these older blacks to West Africa. These overage blacks are basically of no use value to East Africa.
And simply exiling them to West Africa is also related to the slave trade. After all, the essence of trade is exchange. East Africa did not gain any benefits in the process, so it naturally does not count as "slave trade." And the operation is relatively simple. Trade between East Africa, Western Europe, and the Americas is becoming increasingly frequent, so most ships on the west coast will pass through West Africa. Each time they carry a little bit, they can throw these black people to West Africa.
East Africa is after all a "hell" for black people, or they can live out their old age peacefully in West Africa. Although West Africa is now also the territory of colonists from all sides, it is better than a place like East Africa without any human rights.
Looking at the world, black people in the United States now have the third highest status among black people in the world. As for the first and second places, they are Haiti and Liberia. These two countries are deeply related to the United States. Haiti is the economic radiation area of the United States. , and Liberia is almost equivalent to an American colony.
Today, black people on the African continent have basically lost their freedom. Although black people in the United States are discriminated against by American society, their freedom is much better than that in East Africa or West Africa.
The number of black people in American society alone is as high as over 10 million, and they are widely involved in the construction of American agriculture and industry. As for the issue of low political status, anyway, in the United States, people are divided into three, six or nine grades, except for British people. Except for Jews, other people from Ireland, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, and Chinese were pretty much the same in the past.
Of course, with the rise of East Africa, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the social status of Germans in the United States has been greatly improved.
In the past, Germany had not yet been unified, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was half-dead. Moreover, because of Hungary, it was not really a German country. East Africa was just a small colonial country in the corner of the country. The Germans in the United States were relatively weak.
Of course, in addition to the rise of the German country, the other main reason for the improvement of the status of Germans in the United States is that East Africa siphoned off the poor German population in the United States through the economic crisis in the 1970s and 1980s. Under the economic crisis, the Germans who could continue to stay in the United States population, it must have a certain social status or stable economic resources.
Now it is mainly Italians and Neapolitans who have replaced the ecological niche of Germans in the United States in the past, and are the main force of American gangs and violent gangs.
Of course, relatively speaking, those at the bottom of society are non-Europeans. East Africans do not belong to European countries and are relatively unpopular in the United States, but they do not enjoy the "non-national treatment" of the United States.
Among them, native American blacks and Asians are the real bottom class of American society. Even so, the status of American blacks is much higher than that of East African blacks.
They are at least free to find jobs, and even marry wives and have children, and black Americans may even marry wives who were originally trafficked from East Africa through Haiti.
Looking at it now, the black people who were sold to the United States from East Africa can be said to have caught up with a good time. After all, after the Civil War, black Americans got rid of their slave status, and the United States is one of the world's powerful countries, with a stable society and strong economic strength. Black people at the bottom can basically make a living.
Black people in other areas, including West Africa, their hometown, are not only exploited by the local black upper class, but also scratched by the colonizers. Black people in East Africa are even regarded as "heartless" by East Africa. The use of machines deprives them of their rights to marry, have children, and freedom of life, and lead a life of darkness. Looking at it this way, the United States is indeed the only "paradise" for black people in the world.
