Evicted native white farmer returns to his farm in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe )

Or blonde haired, blue eyed Germanics prior to being giving civilization by brown and olive skinned people from the Mediterranean. So those lily whiteGermanics were naturally inferior, right?

Another racist comment.

I suggest you read up on the effect culture has had on economic progress.

Culture is not race based.

And why did they have no institutions of higher learning?

Er, because in the hundreds and thousands of years prior to colonisation, Africans had not created any institutions of higher learning.

After colonisation, many Africans such as Mandela, Seretse Khama, Kaunda, Banda Mugabe etc were educated at universities built by the colonials.

 

[Ginza]

You mean 'gave African countries the independence they wanted'. Those who were so 'bigoted' to suggest that African weren't ready to properly govern themselves are proven right on a daily basis. Africa is still one big shit-hole 60 years on.

Unfortunately, very true.

Unfortunately, very true.

Which is a damning indictment of the colonizer thugs.

Yeah, let's go back to the founder!
" “I contend that we [white Englishmen] are the first race in the world, and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimen of human being, what an alteration there would be in them if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence…if there be a God, I think that what he would like me to do is paint as much of the map of Africa British Red as possible…” Cecil Rhodes

What's the have to do with the ethno-nationalism that was/is taking place in Africa?

Let’s look at one example: the Congo.

When the Belgians left, less than a dozen native Congolese had college degrees and there were zero institutions of higher learning in the entire country. How long do you think it takes to make up for something like that?

Do you think an entire educational base can be built by a country with basically no resources in 60 years?

And why did they have no institutions of higher learning? Because the Belgians didn’t want educated Congolese. They just wanted rubber, uranium, and other raw materials extracted at the cheapest price possible.

So, you're just confirming that the Congolese are 100% reliant on outside help - that they have zero ability to lift themselves up. Right?

If the Belgians were “helping” that might be an argument, but they weren’t. They were extracting wealth.

We all know that. I'm referring to 60 years of utter failure since then.

Because they had to start from nothing.

Cecil Rhodes was instrumental in stealing the land from the original occupants.

The land was given back to the actual previous owners or just taken from white people and given to Black people?

Prior to Cecil Rhodes there were no white owners.

Yes, it's called colonization. We all know that European countries used to 'own' lots and lots of colonies.

Cecil Rhodes was instrumental in making black South Africans the wealthiest on the whole continent.

They sure did and their arrival coincided with the civilisation of Africa.

From mud huts to modern cities.

Yeah...prior to X time in history there were no X race owners of pretty much any land anywhere. Thanks for proving my point. You support ethno-nationalism.
