Why Michael Parenti Says Africa Is Rich but Over-Exploited by the West
July 13, 2026
Africa isn’t poor. It has been exploited.
The brilliant Michael Parenti exposed a truth decades ago that mainstream economic narratives still desperately try to hide. Africa is not a bankrupt continent in need of Western charity; it is a vastly wealthy continent that has been systematically plundered, looted, and drained by Western imperialism and corporate greed.
Africa is one of the richest continents on Earth in natural resources, gold, diamonds, cobalt, oil, uranium, rare earth minerals, and fertile land.
The phones we carry, the batteries that power our technology, and the luxury goods sold around the world often begin with resources extracted from African soil.
So the question isn’t: “Why is Africa poor?”
It’s: Who became rich from Africa’s wealth?
As Michael Parenti argues, Africa didn’t fail the world. The world has repeatedly failed Africa.
Stop buying the sanitized propaganda. Knowledge is power. Share the truth.
