BUT, the idea that Africa would be better off in the primitive brutal barbaric societies that prevailed before the colonial period is ludicrous.

How do you know that? First, Europeans killed millions of Africans in the process of conquering the continent. Second, Africa may well have developed organically if left alone, possibly by borrowing what works in Western civilization. For all we know the people would be much better off now if the European conquest hadn't happened.

I agree with you 100%. If the Europeans didn't rape the continent, I believe African countries would be more like Asia. China, Korea, Thailand were all poor and starving for many years until recently. Now it looks like they're on their way to First World Status (Japan is already there).

Apartheid left a damaged nation today and really it's the Whites fault for never involving the Blacks in the political process until 1994. To me, what's even more amazing is that the Afrikaners are refusing to move out of the continent. (I know that South Africa is their true home since they've been there since 1652
