Because the natives didn't die from our diseases like the native Americans.
Abbos are barely human, and they were few.

Also, black people in Africa could be used as slaves. The Native Americans couldn't, because they died from our diseases. So many Africans = more people to work.

We made our fatal mistake 300 years ago, you are making yours in THE CURRENT YEAR.

If we went in now, exterminated all niggers and shitskins, no exceptions, we would make Africa great. It would be a better North America because of no niggers.

It will never happen, we are too comphy and weak.

Instead, they will all come here and make Europe shit.

They did but the natives were far more numerous and most of the place was pretty inhospitable. They ended up replacing the native populations of North America and Australia by smallpox and lead injections.

Because when they turned up in Africa to colonize the locals weren't genocidally wiped out by the diseases that they brought with them in the same way as the local poplualtions of the americas and australia were. It was much easier to colonize empty space.
>>
>>74829677
Algeria, South Africa, Rhodesia, any of Portugal colonies were all colonised to the same extent that Australia and the Americas were, there was just way more natives so eventually the Europeans got kicked out.

VERY SIMPLE ANSWER

Because of settler mortality rates from various factors African colonies were Extractive colonies and not Settler colonies like the America and Australia.
I wrote an essay on this for history at uni.
Basically it was harder to live as a settler in Africa because of disease and animals and aggressive and numerous natives

>>74833439
Pardon the incoming burgersplaining, but Virginia, (the first British colony in NA) was a literal hellhole for decades. Jamestown had ridiculous mortality rates from disease and starvation and Roanoake was completely wiped off the map. The Virginia colony didn't turn a profit until tobacco (which was much later in the colony's history).
