the idea that paternalistic whites were actually helping inferior blacks.......

.....is an idea that's widespread among LEFTIST elitists today, exemplified by their "tyranny of low expectations" attitude.

I agree. The left excoriated Christian missionaries for going to underprivileged areas to bring not just the gospel, but also practical benefits like medical care, sanitation, irrigation, et cetera. But they see no problem with the leftist government forcing today's economically deprived nations to legalize homosexuality and transgenderism (and punish those whose consciences cannot "celebrate" those practices) as the price for receiving aid programs.

Secondly, I strongly object to the "marxification" or "collectivization" of language, in which an isolated incident is pluralized to represent all such incidents and the entire group to which an individual within a single incident belongs.

The example at the top of this post should properly be rewritten as:

the idea that a paternalistic whites were culture was actually helping an inferior blacks African culture
