Emmanuel Macron will laugh at them

Blacks would enslave other other black tribes and sell them for money

Some people act like there was some auction with blacks lined up and
rich white people were bidding on them like a piece of furniture

clearly if you want good workers they will be young healthy and strong
for the job at hand

No idea what you’re trying to say here, but a famine and a genocide are two different things

They regularly ban me for a few days , invariably because they are incapable of understanding the posts .
Americans find anything that is not spelt out literally very hard to grasp .
Once you introduce innuendo or start treading in hallowed places only commented on by Chosen people , their eyes turn upward and the brain drops down a few gears .

It's the Moderator version of the male Brewer's Droop .

That is fairly accurate. Before colonialism, housing in Africa was very different from what it is today. But you have to remember that fifteen hundred years ago, you found the same kinds of houses in Britain. And even just in the last few decades, you can still find modern versions of wattle‑and‑daub houses in Britain. timber framing was an improvement in terms of structure and water resistance, but it was still mostly clay and straw.

How many Sistine Chapels, Westminster Abbeys, or Guggenheim Museums are hanging around Nigeria, the Congo, or Liberia?

The obvious conclusion is that they haven’t reached that level yet, and given the extent of corruption, they may never reach it. Much of the excess money held by officials never supports the national economy; instead, it ends up in private bank accounts in Switzerland. That benefits Swiss banks, not the people of Africa—something Africans themselves openly acknowledge and condemn.

European nations were somehow able to create massive, intricate, beautiful, timeless, and solid structures that have lasted for centuries without the help of bank loans or foreign aid.

The fact of that matter is that not all peoples are equal. That's a hard, cold fact. The peoples of Africa have lived on that continent for thousands of years. They've had ample time to build a thousand Westminster Abbeys.

The "colonialism" trope is wearing thin. Was/is tribalism any better?

Try telling the people of Congo that are left, King Leopold of Belgium almost wiped them all out, then sending body parts back to Belgium to display in Museums, anyone who excuses European Colonialism is just as evil and not civilized.

Do you have a problem with Chinese or Russian colonialism?

I didn't know Russia and China colonized the African continent for centuries.

What is wearing thin are the apologists for Colonialism.
