Why Does The Western World Keep Portraying Africa As The Worst Thing That Happened To Earth?

The western world keeps using international news agencies like the BBC
and other major news networks to paint a bad picture of Africa. The
worst part of it all is that these countries use situations in which
we are far better than they are to make us look bad before the rest of
the world. A very recent example of such is a news report on BBC that
portrays the whole of West Africa as drug addicts while they are the
ones who record increasing cases of drug addiction and depression
induced suicide across all age groups. These "world powers" will not
try to be sincere with themselves and try to combat the grave issues
of moral degradation among their elite, youth and even their so called
"Men of God" but are actively trying their best to incite the wrath of
God on other morally upright nations. These are just two of thousands
of issues. The most unfortunate and disheartening of all these is
that many Africans and people all over the world are gullible enough
to believe this misinformation from "highly rated" news agencies.
With all this negative information being intentionally spread all over
the world using various media, one begins to wonder if this is just a
holier-than-thou culture among the Europeans and Americans or if all
this negativity is being propagated to prevent perceived economic
competitors in Africa from being able to challenge or displace them
from their revered positions as world powers just as China is
currently doing.
