So I should look at India, a country of 1.4 billion people, and I should look at Singapore, a city state, and conclude that colonialism isn’t bad because the tiny authoritarian city state is wealthy and the giant democracy is poor? Have you ever thought it might be easier to manage a city than an actual country?

I’m just saying, I’ve noticed people who want to deny colonialism was bad always bring up Hong Kong and Singapore, which are cities. And they don’t bring up China, India, and the continent of Africa, which are about 17% of humanity each and they’re all poorer than western countries on a per-capita basis and they’re we’re all colonized. Literally Africa, India, and China are half of humanity, but people have the audacity to bring up two cities as a counter example as if that’s not obviously stupid.

Most of Europe’s colonization of Africa took place in the late 1800s, they had cameras back then. They took pictures of what they were doing to Africans. You can’t tell me they were civilizing Africa. There’s a reason why recently the UN voted to consider the trans Atlantic slave trade to be officially considered as a crime against humanity.

Or even the stupid "we were kings" thing white supremacists say to mock black people. You can’t tell me that the British didn’t burn down royal palaces in Africa and steal cultural artifacts when they took pictures of the royal palaces they burned down with the artifacts they were stealing.

They literally burned down cities, cut peoples hands off, enslaved people, and didn’t allow blacks to be educated in their own native languages, then had the audacity to say they civilized Africa and we had no history or architecture or technology or written language when literally none of that is true!

They even go to the point where they only selectively show the most primitive cultures and the most primitive art from Africa in order to distort reality. How come when you go to a western museum you always see stuff like this (nothing wrong with it):

"Oh the stupid Stone Age people next to monkeys who had spears and were hunter gatherers" how come if you go to a western museum they’ll have European swords or maybe a katana, but they won’t display any African swords. Africans already had governments and laws and written language and the ability to make iron tools before Europeans colonized it, Europeans destroyed Africa. People want to deny it or say Africans should be responsible for their poverty or whatever, but it’s true. There was civilization in Africa before Europeans got there and it wasn’t primitive.

But oh noooo, the Europeans have to tell themselves that Africans have to live in poverty because Africans are just stupid instead of I don’t know, read a fucking history book.

Or even "oh you people lived in mud huts because you’re stupid" ignoring that baked mud functions similarly to concrete and their are mud structures in Africa that look like this
