LOL Of course, you're inclined to agree. This is what you've been building towards since your first post in this thread.
Africa was a largely closed off continent prior to the industrial revolution, similar to east Asia but to a greater extreme. The advancements in technology that took place prior to the industrial revolution weren't driven exclusively by whites. A lot of the most important technological advancements originated in asian and southeast asian countries. And these technologies advanced within a certain geographical region because of the interconnectedness of the region and its ability to trade goods and information. Africa was almost entirely removed from this. During the industrial revolution, east Asia made a dramatic shift from a closed off feudal society to an opened-up, predominately industrial society within the span of a few decades. One of the byproducts of the transatlantic slave trade is that is that western imperialists ended up harvesting south africa's natural resources. Rubber, specifically, drove the industrial revolution. So, yes, there is evidence to refute that theory. without western imperialism, south african society would probably have transformed like Asia or the middle east.
Meanwhile, the history of western imperialism is beside the point. You don't have to look any further backwards in time than today to find glaring examples of institutionalized oppression. OP didn't post about slavery. He posted about things happening currently. Whether or not you buy into the video posted, there are so many examples that fall right in line, it's ridiculous to try to chalk it up to an "imaginary" melanin deprived boogeyman. The criminal justice system has such a destructive impact on minority communities that its only rival would be the slave trade, but the criminal justice system is not an imaginary boogeyman from the past.
Basically, every other race and group achieved civilization and at least advanced past the bronze age......except the vast majority of Blacks.
And then in the second part of your argument it's still all white people's fault and everyone else's.
Without the whites, Indians or Asians in Africa, the region would be like a giant Liberia or Sierra Leone, almost zero infrastructure, constant tribal warfare, even lower life expectancy and less education.
Every state that got 'independence' has or is rapidly going back to its roots.
Zimbabwe is destroyed. South Africa went from largest economy in Africa to third behind Nigeria and Egypt. SA is led by corrupt thieving illiterate marxist-leninist anti-western racists who are now condemned by most of the civilized world.
Black Africans have shown they are incapable of successfully ruling a modern country. And the one's they have inherited they destroy.
