The shrill stupidity of bripat, one of the poorer voices of the haters, blares forth. Moron.
Africa had immense wealth in natural resources.
Exotic animal pelts, spices, ivory..........Guess who reaped the profits?
White Europeans
Then, on top of that, Europeans found a more valuable resource in Africa.....Slaves to provide free labor
Tough act to follow......But who ended up with the wealth from Gold, Diamonds and Oil in the 20th century?
White Europeans
Yes the continent did have enormous wealth, unfortunately the sub-saharan african never advanced as a race enough to make use of those vast resources never having evolved much beyond the stone age until the white European came. Of course white Europeans reaped the profits, they had the means to get the spices, gold, diamonds, oil, pelts, etc out of the jungles and mountians and to the market. The sub saharan african never even built any roads, let alone ocean going ships, airports, major trading cities, rail roads, back hoes, bull dozers, a freaking shovel for darn sake. TODAY, the black african is unable to properly govern themselves for the most part. Rhodesia, which was a white ruled nation, exported beef and agricultural products, among other things, all over Africa and the world, the blacks took over the nation renamed it Zimbabwe, stole the working farms and factories from the whites that built them and had worked them for hundreds of years, and today the blacks are freaking starving to death and killing eachother in that nation. They took a working civilization and destroyed it. Zimbabwe isn't the only example, just one of the most recent. You can find this same stroy all over black africa. TODAY they haven't evolved much beyond the stone age mentally, they're just usuing AK's and RPG's today instead of spears and rocks.
The colonial powers sure had something those "Jungle Bunnies" didnt. Guns and armies to ensure their colonial claims were not interfered with.
Ask Native Americans how happy they are that the whites came and forced them off their land at gunpoint while they reaped all the benefits of our nations natural resources
Go tell them how they would still be living in wigwams if not for the white man
Let's be realistic here slick. The ENTIRE history of mankind, white, red, brown, yellow and black is full of stories of one nation/peoples conquering another nation/peoples. It just seems like the black man and the red man are the only ones still whining about it, and yeah, there's a very good chance the Indian would still be living a stone age existence without the influence of the Europeans and the only evidence you need to support this is the fact that as late as the latter years of the 20th century, you know after the white man made it to the moon, they were still finding Amazonian Indians that lived a stone aged existence and there are still tribes in sub-sharan afrca that live a stone aged existence, not to mention the aboriginals in Australia who lived a stone aged existence well into the 20th century. You know you can whine, cry and moan racism, colonialism and all the other isms you want, but that doesn't change history nor the current situation.
