African Union declares colonialism as greatest genocide in human history

Now that’s interesting. Why would you want to avoid the question? Are you ashamed of your ancestors? You shouldn’t be — they were most likely good people who did the best they could.

I mistook that

That began millenia before white people ever saw Africa.

US blacks should be paying white people reparations for rescuing them from themselves. Shaka Zulu was fond of lining his roads with blacks who had sharpened tree trunks shoved up their rectums and stood up to die slowly in rows.

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.

Ancient Britons had much more substantial buildings than that.

Is this a colinialism or neo-colonialosm?:
The American companies Chevron and Exxon pay Kazakhstan a mere 2% of their profits for oil production at the country’s largest field—Kashagan.

And if the Kazakhstani authorities demand an increase in this percentage, you’ll hear claims that there is no democracy in Kazakhstan.

Never a percentage of the profits. Company accountants decide what they are.

It depends on the period you’re talking about. If you mean the Celtic or early Saxon era, then yes — that’s about right. By the time of the Normans, the Saxons already had a number of stone buildings, but in the early Saxon period even kings lived in wattle‑and‑daub houses.

In the early Saxon period, there were still quite a few Roman buildings standing in Britain, but most of them were ruins or in various stages of decay.

And saying 'the greatest in human history' is uppity and dumb famines killings slavery happened not only in africa but india too nor was colonialism 'the greatest genocide in human history'

Genocide is an emotive word. Most people don't understand what it means.

Rubbish. Exxon only owns about 25% of the one company's producing fields, and 16% of the Kashagan fields. It's your beloved Russian thugs extorting them no end.

Exxon warns of Russia risks to its $2.5 billion Kazakhstan income

HOUSTON (Reuters) -Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) on Wednesday warned in a securities filing of potential risks to its Kazakhstan oil operations, which provided $2.5 billion in earnings last year. Threats to Kazakhstan oil exports have been in the spotlight since Moscow invaded Ukraine a year ago...

ca.finance.yahoo.com

Exxon said its stake in Kazak oil fields produced 246,000 barrels of oil and gas per day last year. That oil provided after-tax earnings of about $2.5 billion, the filing said.

Exxon "could experience a loss of cash flows of uncertain duration from its operations in Kazakhstan," the filing said, if oil exports through the CPC pipeline are "disrupted, curtailed, temporarily suspended."

The U.S. oil major owns a 25% interest in the Chevron-led Tengizchevroil (TCO) oil production joint venture, which controls the Tengiz and Korolev oil fields in Kazakhstan, and a 16.8% working interest in the Kashagan field.
Chevron produces around 380,000 bpd, or more than 12% of its total output from Kazakhstan. The company aims to boost total output by 40% at Kazakhstan's largest field Tengiz, to around 1 million bpd.

Claiming they're 'only getting 2% of the profits' is just idiocy. After being raped and bullied by your beloved Putin for years, they want to move on and do deals with Exxon.

King Leopold butchered almost everyone in the Congo and brought skulls and body parts back to Belgium, i think Genocide fits the bill.

You’re right — Leopold was a hypocrite. He claimed his goal was to end slavery in Africa, but all he did was replace one form of slavery with another.

Germany and France were mixed; some people sincerely wanted to end slavery, while others were simply opportunistic. Belgium, Spain, and Portugal were the most hypocritical.

However, Britain was the most sincere. Their goal really was to end slavery in Africa, though they certainly didn’t object to making some money in the process. I don’t know if I’d blame them for that.

All in all, the anti‑slavery campaigns did help end the slave trade in Africa at least in the areas that were Colonized, and so much pressure was put on Belgium that they eventually had to reform their rule in the Congo.

Worst mistake we ever made was importing those savages. 450 years later, still savages.

Étienne Davignon, the last Belgian official implicated in the 1961 assassination of Patrice Lumumba, died today, just before he was due to stand trial for war crimes in the Congo.

Lumumba was tortured, murdered, and dissolved in acid by Belgium and the CIA for speaking out against the plundering of his country, simply for fighting for the Congo’s true independence, far removed from Western colonialism.

After he was dismembered and dissolved in acid, the Belgian imperialists took Lumumba’s gold tooth as a trophy of his murder... that is how Europe’s “democracy” was built.
