Why do leftists always blame colonialism (and by extension white people) for the state of Africa today?
Because they don't want to admit that nogs are incompetent.
cause it is true.
If anyone does that, they don't know the history. Just about every place has been worse off because they didn't let the Brits and French teach them how to actually do stuff. Apart from DRC, which has stayed consistently bad.

It doesn't matter
Africa will be China
And America will become Africa
And Europe will become the middle east
And then we white men can live where we truly belong
Antarctica
Come home White Man

Well it's not like they all of a sudden decided to start genociding each other once the euros slapped down some borders

Colonialism, and by extension white people, created economic conditions in Africa that caused an explosion in the slave trade. This led to the creation of the slave kingdoms, which, following the abolition of slavery in the west, collapsed into tribes that had VERY GOOD reasons to hate each other.
Let's not forget that slavery depopulated Africa. Even if they had been left alone after abolition they would have had to accomplish what Soviet Russia did (transition from agrarian to an industrial economy) in under 60 years (assuming you put the end of the slave trade in the 1890s).
Russia's industrialization cost the lives of some twelve million people. The cost to Africa would have been horrendous.
because the goal of liberalism is to destroy western civilization

Following World War II, the colonies were abandoned because Europe couldn't pay for them any more.
Civilization in Africa collapsed. Again.
Neo-colonialism took advantage of the chaos, this time in the guise of "private investment" and the IMF. Once again, the Africans were slaves but this time to capitalists who thought they were doing good while getting rich.
Then the tribes with a little bit of money from the resource extraction business started buying weapons and killing off their rivals.
They don't call the history of Africa "the Rape of Africa" for nothing.

Part of it is colonial dickery.
Creating a highly diverse nation with multiple interest/ethnic/religious groups that hate each other since colonial times becuz of divide & conquer
>>70704527
Africans had been at war and enslaving each other since long before Europeans reached sub Sahara
People all over the planet have been fighting and enslaving each other since prehistory
>>70704802
This is wrong
The colonies were an economic boon to the European colonizers, it didn't cost them money to be there that would be pants on head retarded and most countries didn't give up their colonies until 2 decades or longer after the end of wwii
You are spreading lies and disinformation
It's a simple single-word explanation (one that fits the typical leftist attention span and capacity for abstract thought) that doesn't blame their pet niggers.
