It is not because they are black. I think the people of Sub-Saharan Africa are still not able to cope with the modern world and a modern government. Tribal rivalries are still the first order of business. The Hutu and the Tutsi come to mind. The governments that are elected are corrupt, stealing the aid provided from the West and selling it or giving distributional preference to their own tribal areas. Of course, rivals see this, start a revolution which turns into tribal warfare which in-turn realeases savagery on the civilian populations with women and children suffering the worst.
