“Flame away, but there’s not one part of Africa that has done better since the end of colonial rule.”

“Flame away but it was European colonialism that, at root, caused all these problems. Britain, Franc, Belgium etc. conquest and carving up of Africa is the cause of all this mess. Yes, they governed better than the current crop of thugs but what right did they have to take Africa in the first place?”

Wait, wasn't the Americas “Colonized”? So the native Africans are better off with Genocide, starvation, disease, and poverty. Africa should be re-colonized, with 100 year contracts that would allow them to return to self rule after they were educated through 4 -5 generations, in civilization and governance.

I had a manufacturing plant in SA where I was training blacks in trades, and management, but due to US do gooders, cutting off dollars to SA, I had to close the plant.

The European colonizers of North America didn't, for the most part, act in the exploitative way that the Spanish did in South America and the Europeans did in Africa. Read the history of Belgian and German colonialism if you don't mind getting nightmares. The British in NA didn't behave like that.
