Exactly, lol. Not to mention the whole "Europeans don't do this" as if the mass migration of Europeans to nearly every corner of the earth is coincidental. Or as if every country in Europe is flourishing. My city is FULL of young (and bitter) illegal Spaniards, Italians, Russians and Europeans of other extraction, working in bars and such because there isn't crap for them to do back home.
Some people have some prejudice against africans,they post thread that don't make sense as long as the objective is to bash africans.
It's not always about racial prejudice. Many average and low-earning Europeans are just fed up with their irresponsible elites and governments who always talk about "white guilt" and "mass immigration to promote a colourful and multicultural society".
I agree that there are many European companies and countries still exploiting Africa's resources and unfortunately being involved in African conflicts politically/financially, however, most European countries (or European people) don't have anything to do with Africa's problems. Why are there Blacks in e.g. Scandinavia? Just because the countries there are primarily ruled by liberal, compassionate do-gooders who think that it is cool to have American-like diversity. The Swedes, Danes etc. didn't even have any interactions with Africans like the British or French had. Not even economically. So, why do a significant proportion of Somalians there demand free amenities? They don't have the right to go to another country who wants to help them out of their situation and then act like spoiled brats. Same with Germany. Germany had Namibia and some few other less fertile areas as "protectorates" (a very ugly expression if you ask me), for a short time back in the late 19th century, but that's about it. Most Africans I know here are of Nigerian origin, not Namibian/Herero or Zanzibarean. I could understand the former for immigrating or demanding reparations because of the cruel and brutal acts the imperial German rulers did to their ancestors... However, many German politicians talk about how average Germans are supposedly guilty for all of Africa's failures. Or Turkey. Or whole humanity. This attitude just sucks.
It's interesting that more prosperous African countries like Ghana or South Africa seem to be much more politically-incorrect when it comes to illegal immigration. Just take a look at that Ghanaian article:
Really, there's no such thing as "white guilt" except in the fertile heads of a few "illuminati". Africans are here by the same reason that Europeans moved to America. They are hard workers and many are doing works that nobody will do. Of course there are people that don't like their presence, just as any immigrant group.
Just another question, those Africans are Africans, from the ol' country, "negros de nación" using the old Spanish word, they are pretty well behaved and cultured. They are not Afroamericans, and there's no relation with them. There's a good movie about that, the experience of a Nigerian family in an American ghetto, they ended dead.
Exactly. It is interesting how much Europeans complain about the flow of people into their countries, yet they are silent about their money grubby businesses, banks, factories, institutions etc... taking advantage of the poverty and corruption in developing countries to profit and make bank.
Interestingly enough, Spain is inviting all Sephardic Jewish descendants incentives and FREE citizenship and wants all Sephardic Jews to return back to Spain, since their ancestors once lived in Spain.
Africans have been in Spain since ancient times. Their presence in Spain is nothing new.
Not true. The first blacks appeared during the 15th Century when they fled from slave ships mooring in Palos, Andalusia. Later, most were expelled by the Inquisition, they were sent to Havana during the 18th Century.
Just two decades ago, blacks were extremely rare, and there were towns that have never seen any black.
Some Sephardic Jewish descendants are taking up on the offer and coming to Spain.
I think this is part of an agenda and deal that will probably be MUTUALLY beneficial for Spain, the Spaniard government, and returning Sephardic Jews
Not true, no incentives but citizenship. Sephardic Jews have had preferential treatment since the 20's.
When the Inquisition ended, 200 years ago, Spain recognized the big error of expelling Sephardic Jews. in fact, only certain percentage left because most stayed as conversed.

Where's that city? Members of the EEC are not illegal in the EEC.
