The point is Africa was always a shithole because it's full of stupid people. Some white people spent time and resources fighting the natives and taking "their" resources, but at the end of the day, it wasn't really worth it.
Also, "their" being relative. If the Europeans went to Africa and killed all the black people and then took natural resources, would that be acceptable? No? Well, I have bad news for you: nobody today lives where their ancestors came from, not even Africans. Humans have always migrated across the world and the current majority of black people in Africa, the Bantu, came into Africa thousands of years ago and have been slowly genociding all other African tribes ever since. So, do the natural resources belong to dead people or do they belong to the Bantu? If they belong to the Bantu, does that mean the real mistake white people made was letting them live? I notice that in spite of the Arab slave trade being 200 times larger than the Atlantic, they don't have a nigger problem. So, is that the lesson we're supposed to learn?
I get told all the time that America doesn't belong to white people and they "wiped out" the Native Americans, but nobody ever mentions that
1.) ...there are probably more Native Americans today than there were when white people arrived and they lucked out and happen to live in the most powerful country in the world. You're welcome.
2.) ...Native Americans were never unified and were actually constantly slaughtering and wiping each other out; in fact, the largest burial pit discovered is from the 1400s, predating the arrival of Europeans.
3.) ...the Native Americans we know of weren't even the first human beings in the Americas; they wiped out the first people they came into contact with.
