Since de-colonization, Africa has gone from a roughly late-19th/early-20th century Euro-American equivalency to, except in specific areas, roughly a mid-19th century level of development. If you think aid does not actively harm development, what is your explanation? Do you think Africans must be inherently inferior to Europeans? Our ancestors developed, rather than regressed, despite having to invent all the systems and technology for ourselves; the Africans, and other less developed countries, know what is possible and can even fairly easily find out how to do it. So if aid is not a problem, especially if you claim aid helps, you have even more to explain about the Third World incompetence.
