Yes, Africa. A land untouched by European imperialism.

That’s nice and all and I really have no argument with the sentiment. But....if you are cool with any mob that tears down shite without consequence than you are the one who should get fricked. “frick the queen” isn’t a good enough reason to act like this shite is okay.

I’m sorry you’re aggrieved by his association with your ilk. I also could have included other fascists and communists, but given how Biden and the left are all in on Xi and the CCP, Mao seemed more appropriate.

I do enjoy the irony. A bunch of white people tearing down a statue that represents the very government that made their life and lifestyle possible.



Like folk that protest against the very flag that gives them the freedom to protest and still make millions playing ball?

Here's the big problem. They have the right to destroy, you don't have the right to protest it.

European imperialism came and went. Africa remains the same.

ETA: It has nothing to do with skin color.

Indeed. It's a curiosity why Africa failed in the post-imperial era compared to India, Pakistan or the various island nations around the globe. One has to look no further than South Africa or Zimbabwe...or perhaps the worst, Mozambique. They were centuries behind the Europeans technologically and culturally. When the Euros finally let go of their colonies, you could hear the repeated beep of a society that just put the transmission in reverse.

It is also true that the most successful nations are those that held-on to some semblance of the European institutions established under colonial rule, the public school, university, elected local governments, etc.

Politically and culturally it was more important to exact revenge than it was to better the lives of non-whites. Add to this the typical African level of corruption, and you get what was gotten.

European imperialism never left. The CFA franc system, French involvement in multiple ports (such as Vincent Bollore's recent involvement at Tema), and shady deals with NGO's and governments (like the NAFSN which dispossessed farmers) shows that colonialism is still alive and well.
