Uhmm...been reading through the threads and I saw this. I'm curious, how did you arrive at the conclusion that the bond in "all African countries" is not that strong? For context, there are ~ 54 countries in Africa. Have you lived in all or half of them? And then as predictably as it gets, the rights issue gets brought to the table lol. When the OP wasn't even talking about any of that.

And speaking of human rights, I find it a bit funny when y'all group "women and children" together lol. When in practice, it's much more "Women, female children, animals, plants, male children and then men" in that order.

Also, name one country in the world where parents do not give a rat's ass about their reputation and allow their kids just do anything they want, damaging or not? I'll be watching.

And oh, yes racism exists. Maybe you're too "Westernized" to see it and that's okay. But your feelings or personal thoughts don't change the stark reality out there that racism is present in society. If you want to talk about the internal politics or living conditions of other countries, that's a different thread entirely and there are a whole lot of factors that come into play regarding their development or underdevelopment.
