Um...Belgian Congo. Some horrible things were done to Africans by Europeans.
That having been said, your point about it taking Europeans to bring Africa into the modern world stands.
I never said Europeans did no wrong while in Africa, i said the mythos that whites came, raped Africa and ran away is nonsense.
Africa is by natural resources to this day probably the richest continent in the world, it remains poor and broken due to the fact that, like it or not, for the most part as a culture it hasn’t evolved past tribalism. Same reason the middle east doesn’t have a thing.. If it weren’t for oil, other than Israel, the entire middle east would have the GDP of a few dollars a year per person.
Add to this, huge swaths of Africa are dominated by Islam and you get the double whammy of advancement to nowhere.
