Why is Africa such an Unbelievable Basket Case [hint: it has a lot of niggers]

The impact of colonialism is incredibly inflated and given a miracle-like power. European rule in Africa was short, superficial and basically unknown by most of its subjects. Most of Congo , a country without roads larger than Europe , was not even explored by the handful of European who had the bad fortune of living there. There never lived in Congo more than 1 European for each 20,000 natives. And half a century has already passed from the last colonial to leave. Or Nigeria a country of 140 million. There were about 5,000 British civil servants at most and no colonial ever worked very hard. Five years after independence the framework they established and manned had already vanished as if never was. I had lived long enough to meet the last colonial British, and many of them were lazy, drunken, unambitious not-too-brilliant civil servants. All in all they were unfit for a middle class job in Europe . They had no dreams of controlling anything, they dreamed of vacations in Europe and hated being in Africa . I always am amazed of the tremendous power and impact they are attributed to have exerted, preventing the advance of local peoples (for ever?) and causing social diseases - 60 years after - like corruption and violence. One thing colonials were not, that is corrupt. They left a legacy of honesty and decency, if anything. I would love if someone explained me a sensible cause-effect case of some European colonial employee doing something bad and the current chaos, corruption, violence, etc. that describes all African countries.

    It’s amazing the epicycles the “liberal” assholes in that Megan McCardle comments thread come up with in order to avoid talking frannkly about race. They’re completely dumbfounded as to why Africa is a hell hole. (In reality most of them know but have repressed the knowledge into their subconsciouses.) Anyone who refuses to admit racial truth to himself should really be obliged to go live permanently in Sub-Saharan Africa. If there were any justice in this world, that would be the set-up.
