>There are people on this board who think Africa is in it's current condition because of low IQ
No, it's in it's current condition because of white colonialism. Without whites stealing their people and resources African countries would be prospering today.
Correction: If africans would have actually tried learning from the whites maybe they could have used the infrastructure we left them

China was also colonized
Ryan Gray
I agree

Without blacks stealing their people and resources Rhodesia and South Africa would be prospering today.
Fixed that for you faggot.

Without white colonialism and Arab slave traders before us Africans would still be living in mud huts, eating monkeys, and throwing spears at each other. Ever wondered why most African languages have less than 30K words and the English language has about a quarter of a million? It's because they are savages, savages now, and savages when we first found them.

No it wasn't, Honk Kong and Macao were, coincidentally two of the most developed parts of China, but the rest was just forced to sign some unequal treaties.
Jack Murphy
Africa was poor before the white man came.
There are swathes of Africa that have had little to no contact with the white man
Most African countries don't have any white people living in them.
The countries that were colonized by whites are doing better than the countries that weren't.
Mankind's natural state is poverty, so it's no question why some people are poor. The question is how did some become prosperous.
Africa had nothing before whites came, and they still have nothing.
(Btw, resources don't make you rich. If having resources was a necessary condition to becoming rich, then you'll have to explain Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea who have no natural resources but are rich.)
Faggot.

There are people on Sup Forums RIGHT NOW replying to such low-effort bait without saging
Evan Davis
Then why are the non-colonized areas the worst parts of africa?
European colonization is objectively the best thing that ever happened to africa.

Seriously?!?!

Black Africans had longer than any other racial grouo to develop comolex cultures, societies, and technologies, and yet they were still living millenia behind most of the rest of humanity when white colonialism came to it's shores.
Without white colonialism there would be no infrastructure, no high yield, modern agriculture and animal husbandry, no modern medicine, no sanitation services, no modern state or government organizations to address the needs of large numbers of people, et cetera et cetera. Blacl Africans had more time to develop than all others and yet were still behind where Indus or Mesopotamian cultures were at thousands of years ago. Don't act like they'd have magically advanced and progressed to be on the same level as the west or Asia in a matter of decades if only they'd have just been left alone. That is retarded.

Colonial argument completely BTFO

Let me give you a good parallel of these people. >In Milwakeu Black Lives Matter protesters burned down multiple buisneses and destroyed property in their community. The reason. >The white people are not giving us enough stuff and we are desperate.
In Africa. >Africans raid, destroy, and burn down white ran farms thats specific purpose was to feed Africans who are starving and provide them medicine. The reason? >The white people are not giving us enough, we are desperate.
See the issue here? >White people giving them things is the problem. Remove white people giving them things and there will never be any problems!
Charles Murphy
Not every country in Africa was colonized moron.
Jeremiah Perez
>Hong Kong is all of China.
Jayden Roberts
No. The country is like that because of corrupt politicians that sell their resources and let everyone except themself live in poverty
