Why is Africa so poor?

Africa is poor, because it feeds the west and rest of the world through corruption. Africans are taught corruption by the colonial empires.

In my school days I had the crazy idea that I wanted to get an MBA after my BS in engineering. To enter business school you had to at minimum take classes in accounting, micro, and macro economics. I clearly remember the macro-economics text book stating that African countries were poor because they did not contain enough rich people. I slammed the book closed and took it back to the campus book store for a refund. I completed the class without a textbook.
