>even if Africa received any aid, they got far less than Asian countries
>even if they do get more foreign aid than Asian countries, they got the bad kind of foreign aid

Ethiopia was indirectly colonized as a Soviet puppet state that fucked up the country and caused widespread famine

Most people who blame Africa's civilizational failure on colonialism have a very poor grasp of the continent's history and think it spent "centuries" under European rule.

Merely correcting that common mistake is pretty much enough to disprove that theory, just by looking at the absolute state of precolonial Africa when European colonialism took over in the late 19th century.

The Arabs started off as some retarded backwater tribes (they somewhat still are but that's besides the point) in the deserts of their peninsula and they eventually came to conquer a quarter of the Old World, or half of what actually mattered.

The Maya and Aztecs built monuments that rival those of the old Egyptians in scale and complexity, mostly in tropical and subtropical Mesoamerica.

South East Asia is partly subtropical and it still saw the rise of the Khmer.

>[they] think it spent "centuries" under European rule.
This point comes off as a strawman, and I'm on your side in this debate. People usually claim that colonialism prevented Africa from developing in the first place, not that it ruined significant progress. If that was the argument it would be self-refuted by said milestones not being repeated in the decades following decolonisation.
>>
>>18420664
>People usually claim that colonialism prevented Africa from developing in the first place

Yeah, and peoploe who claim that usually think the continent spent several centuries under colonial rule, rather the 80 years it actually did.
That's the entire point.
No one who is aware that Africa remained independent until the 1880s would claim it was suddenly about to magically develop on its own between 1880 and 1960 if left alone, even though it had failed to do so during the hundreds thousands of years of independence it enjoyed up to that point.

Europeans took up the faustian bargain of industrialization, but ultimately failed to deliver for the world their raison d'etre, namely either the complete civilizing, or the total eradication of the dark continent, instead falling into in-fighting and petty squabbling with each other

In doing so, they failed their and must be punished accordingly

Sex is the supreme form of violence from which all other violence is derived. If the guy you violently colonized can steal your wife, it means he's more powerful than you.

Stealing other men's wives is gay, having a cuckold fetish is gay, even if you put yourself in the sexhavers place. True men have restraint and mutual respect. There's a reason women are the one's who are more likely to cheat in a relationship.

The colonial period in Africa could be compared to the soviet union and the russian colonized countries and many of the ex soviet countries are doing pretty well.

*Lasted just as long and exploited natives about the same - same number of deaths, suppression of local culture, extraction of raw materials, etc.
>>
>>18421167
Main difference being that Eastern Europe was already developed (more so than Russia) when Soviet occupation began.
While Subsaharan Africa was ranging from neolithic to medieval (depending on regions) when European colonial rule started.

Once you realize that colonial rule in Subsaharan Africa lasted for roughly 80 years between 1880 and 1960, and once you combine that with the knowledge that photography was invented in 1827, you realize we have photographic comparisons of Africa before and after colonialism.
So we can simply judge the evolution of the continent during European rule with our own eyes, without having to rely on someone's opinion.

It's just a fantasy. Not based on stereotypes, but merely a narrative device to showcase the enormous discrepancy betweent he cuck and the one who cucks him.

Woah look at all that infrastructure built only for the white settlers that 99% of the natives were barred from. Surely this is proofs that the average African was better off under eurotranny rule.

"Neolithic" and "medieval" aren't stages of human development they are periods and eras mostly limited to Europe, North Africa and Near East.
West Africa and West Central Africa were as productive as any other part of the world during the early modern period.

Africa is a playground for the rich, if a country wants to detangle itself the are saddled with debt or sanctioned. Look at the confessions of an economic hitman, the writer would instruct fledgling economies to adopt poor economic practices and withhold business deals, loans or employ sanctions until they did what he wanted.

Just look at Sudan the genocide by one side trading weapons for their gold. The world watched on thinking it was just natural sectarian violence but as soon as Iran started bombing the UAE the genocide stalled and the government pushed back the militia.

The Congo almost freed itself but it's very cheap to send western intelligence to train and coordinate a few useful idiots who terrorise everyone else.

What about pre-Scramble Africa though?
What kept the black man down for millennia?

>>18420660
>and they eventually came to conquer a quarter of the Old World
Because two centers of the Old World (ERE and Iran) were devastated after 20 years of war with each other. And Arabs literally destroyed old Iranian civilization because they were wild monkeys.
>The Maya and Aztecs built monuments that rival those of the old Egyptians in scale and complexity
Monuments didn't help them to built big empire, because, actually, Mesoamericans didn't go far away from their megacities.
>still saw the rise of the Khmer
They had China.

Why are African countries entitled to business deals, loans and trade without sanctions?

>What kept the black man down for millennia?
Pre-colonial Africa wasnt any poorer than any other part of the world though, in fact some parts of the continent managed to keep with Europe in terms of productive capacity for a very long time the gap only begun with the Industrial Revolution.

Based on the accounts of a custom official of 17th century Portuguese Angola which states that Luanda based merchants bought over 100k meters of cloth from the textile region of Momboares of eastern Kongo each year it has been estimated thattextile production in the was at minimum 300-400k meters of cloth per year (Alvitre de Pero Sardinha, ca. 1611 in Brdsio, Monu in J. Thornton Precolonial African Industry and the Atlantic Trade, 1500-1800 p.12). Meanwhile the production estimate of the region of Laiden (Netherlands) in the 17th century was about 100k (Production curves traced in Braudel, Civilization and Capitalism Commerce in idem. p 13). Italian travellers praised the the quality of Kongolse raffia clothes comparing them with italian velvet which were among the best made in Europe at the time.
As for agricultral production we have an 1846 Gold Coast report that recorded yields aprocching the vicinity of 40 bushels per acre which is much than the average yield in 17th century Europe. Population density of the Lower Guinean Coast was estimated to be nearly as high as that of European hinterland of the Rhine Valley and Northen Italy (J Thornton, The Historian and the Precolonial African p 51) Economy
There is more but it would take too long.
Here you can read both papers about the subject.
