You got modded for saying "about time we take back our land" in regards to the treatment white people are getting in South Africa. You and TC are both opposite sides of the same shit coin

I didn't get modded for that. and I was referring to the exodus of boers(whose ancestors had tricked and murdered hundreds of thousands of native south africans) leaving which gave rise to south africans having more land opportunities.

Pretty much every country in Africa was colonized at one point or another.

Also I'm not sure I'd classify Apartheid as "nice"

It's a long story, but most African countries have actually only been independent for a short amount of time, and often times kleptocratic and brutal dictators were able to rise to power out of the chaos of decolonization.

africa was already sparsely populated, poor, and primitive well before colonialism and slavery. africans had never established permanent cities before the muslims and europeans arrived.

Africa was colonized in a different way than what Europe and Asia experienced WW2. Also entire nations of people in Africa were stolen to America as slaves, which we all know and is obvious but seems to need mentioning in this topic. Blaming white people only gets you so far but white people (and other non-black people) should stop asking these dumb questions that they should know the answer to.

Okay the permanent city part is completely false.

Here's one example of a permanent city created by African civilizations prior to European or Muslim contact:

This too is false or at least misleading. The slaves were captured by other African kingdoms/empires generally speaking, and Asia actually did experience the same kind of colonialism in many cases. French Indochina, British India, the Dutch East Indies, just to name a few. The Scramble for Africa also didn't begin until about 1870, and it wasn't until then that most of the interior of Africa was colonized. The Transatlantic Slave Trade had already been over for 60 years at that point.

My point is you can't blame whitey for the continual failed leadership, tribalism, crime, superstition, etc they've been experiencing for decades. White people are trying all they can to pull this continent into the 21st century. We send aid, food, and education and it's routinely squandered.

At what point, how many decades if ever from now will they be the agents of their destinies?

I believe Western contributions are a net good that they are failing to utilize. Zimbabwe (the perennial example) is experiencing its problems because of the Zimbabwe. Our (Western) hands were washed of it a while ago.

I mean, if we're going to ignore stuff like Cold War politics, assassinations of African leaders, attempting to take away the autonomy of African nations, enabling genociders, etc., then sure.
