    I've got to agree with Strike on this one. When you subjugate and exploit a group of people for generations while at the same time stripping them of their cultural institutions and then pack up and leave one day, you cannot really scoff at the chaos the void you've left has created and expect gratitude for gifting them with democracy. It's kind of like the people here in the states who say black people should be thankful to here and not in Africa.

    Another point would be the borders.

    In Africa, they're not natural or decided by those who live there. The tension between france and germany lead to two world wars, imagine if someone decided to make a state out of western germany and eastern france.... Of course there would be civil war. Like we see in Africa.

    Don't be an idoit, everyone knows the only ethnic group below the Shara is black

    And of course God fearing white SAfricans who are being slaughtered by the blacks whom they gave a guiding Chrisitian hand to all those years, making sure their little brains wouldn't be to overwhelmed by the white mans learning and ways

    Most unereving if I do say so myself

    I'm fully aware there is basically nothing yall can do to right these wrongs now but in the same vein, dont piss on my boots and tell me its raining
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    And the only Ethnic group in Europe is white? And the only ethnic groups in Asia are brown (Indian/Nepalese/Pakistani) or yellow (Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian, etc)?

    The fact is that there are many different ethnic groups throughout Africa. Only outside of Africa are blacks seen as a single group.

    Bonus point is that a common colonialist practice was to enforce a minority as the local ruling class (presumably to control it better). No social tension at all because of this... Tutsi and Tamils is examples that I know of.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    That should be 1878 I think. I doubt Norway or Wismar enjoy being called colonies.
