[Rumpel]

Didn't you create the poll options?

It is clearly framed as asking about European countries.

i did not put europe in the title …. and i lited also arabians

 

[Rumpel]

sorry …. i cannot see that video ….

 

[Bok Tuklo]

sorry …. i cannot see that video ….

It was just part of a television show. It is not important. It just concerned the Dutch slave trade tangentially and your post made me think of it.

 

[Tigerace117]

They don’t care about boko haram.

The left ideology is now based on blood libel of Europeans.

The existence of historical facts you don’t like is not “blood libel”, no.

belgium has 3.votes already


and rightly so

Even my Belgian friend agrees. But why's Idi Amin not on the list?

 

[EMNofSeattle]

That's an odd way to describe armed robbery.

It’s not armed robbery. Armed robbery is a domestic criminal charge within an advanced society and has no application to foreign relations or conflicts

Thanks captain semantics.

Thanks captain semantics.

You’re welcome. Glad I could help you understand this better

Since "independence," Africans have slaughtered more Africans than the colonialists ever did.

Remember Rwanda with the bloody bodies of decapitated bodies in the rivers?
Remember the killings in the Congo?

Leopold I was responsible for at least five million deaths in the Congo.

I voted Arabian nations. My understanding is that the Arabian slave trade lasted way longer than the transatlantic. And the habit of gelding the slaves.

 

[Infinite Chaos]

who….

Over a longer period of time - Arabs were and still are killing Africans as they have always seen them as lesser beings. It's a slow burn that starts with the beginnings of the African slave trade in the 7th Century and goes on to this day with Arabs in Sudan committing genocide against black Africans or Berber Arabs in Mauritania who still keep black slaves and pass them down the family.

Over shorter periods of time - it's Leopold of Belgium, but his period of killing Africans is less than the 15 centuries of damage Arabs have caused in Africa. The Portuguese are a special case - Portuguese warships shelled seaside African towns and villages when they first arrived to colonise. This destroyed civilised societies sending them "back to the stone age" and then when Portuguese colonialists left - they tended to try and destroy everything they had built.

terrible!

 

[devildavid]

Well you would have to define what “crime” means since the only actual crimes committed by white Europeans in Africa were by the Belgians

I don’t consider conquering primitive peoples and colonizing the land to be a crime, it’s more of a real estate transaction negotiated with guns instead of down payments and escrow

Great, so you won’t mind if your property is taken by force. After all, you do fit the bill as one who should be treated this
way.

 

[bomberfox]

King leopold the 2nd no contest.

 

[joluoto]

King Leopold. All colonial powers had their moments of dishonor and were guilty of horrid attrocities somewhere, but none come close to King Leopold's "Congo Free State". So the answer is not even on the list.

 

[Rumpel]

Boko Haram is the new terror ….

home made ….

 

[HK.227]

who….

The Bantu, obviously.
Like many other peoples they had a culture of sending sons who didn't inherit land into the world to conquer new territory.
From around 500 BC when they really started to expand and until today they managed to exterminate nearly every other civilizaion in Africa with the notable exception of the Berbers, Cushites, a handful of Khoisan, and the Egyptians whom they never bordered. From humble beginnings in parts of Cameroon and Nigeria they went to dominating the continent in one of the greatest genocides humanity has ever seen. However, it took place long ago on the other side of the geographical barrier of the Sahara, so hardly anyone knows about it. But the exhoes are there whenever there is a tribal war. Rwanda was no mere fluke.

King Leopold, right, now I am repeating myself. But it's true.
