Africa - Made Better or Worse by European Colonisation?

[Fragony]

The West raped Africa for diamonds, rubber, oil, manpower, ecetera

Sure but did the place get any worse by it, I'm with you in the ethical department but can you really say it has gotten worse. Put it on a 1 to 10 scale, nothing is known about pre-colonial Africa except from Arab scources and they weren't very friendly towards the Africans either, no written scources . All that remains is what we find good or bad, and we don't live there.
