Voters don’t always make the smart vote.

They got independence and then a bunch of those nations went to shite afterward. Like Uganda.

Queen Elizabeth or Idi Amin should be a no brainer.

As shvtty as they might be currently, I’d take being independent over being a colony any day. I think this topic might be a little too complex for you to mentally grasp.

Then take Rhodesia.

Having Mugabe run Zimbabwe for 40 years resulted in the breadbasket of Africa becoming one of the biggest famine stricken areas in the world, mainly because that corrupt fricker thought that just giving whites’ farmland to blacks would make blacks successful.


Colonial rule was no picnic. But that beats the horrors of a number of regimes who ran these countries afterward.

Africans risked their lives and died to end Rhodesian rule while Zimbabwe has been peaceful since. Rhodesia was hell on earth for the majority of the population and only benefited a very small minority. Idk how this is so hard for you to comprehend…Oh wait I know why lol.

Hard not to be peaceful when you are starved to the point of death. Any energy you do have is directed towards the acqusition of food.

Africa is sooooooo peaceful. When the majority runs out of Whites, they kill each other. Very civilized continent. Ask the Tutsi.

Rwanda genocide: 100 days of slaughter

FACTS! Deal with it, boy. I'll bet you couldn't find Africa on a map.

I’ve been to Africa including Zimbabwe. It’s an amazing continent and I’d recommend anyone to go there.

The only people ( Europeans) to commit acts of genocide/ ethnocide on 6 different Continents.

What would Africans and Native Americans have done with the technology and knowledge of the Europeans centuries ago?

ETA: The fat, poor guy isn’t more faithful to his wife than the handsome celebrity millionaire. He just isn’t capable of slaying hot women left and right. He doesn’t have the opportunities. Similarly, Africans and Native Americans were not world conquerors because they were so peaceful… but because they couldn’t. The Europeans could, and they did.

Whether you like it or not, European colonialism works for the uncivilized lands.


While this may have been true in some instances, it was certainly not always true. The Belgian Congo was catastrophic for the natives for instance
