Why do people say africa is underdeveloped because of colonialism?

[Deleted member 16369]

The fact that they were colonized in the first place disproves this. They didn’t have the means to fend off invaders despite heavily outnumbering them.if they were better developed in the first place it wouldn’t have happened.

You’re kind of right but it’s because of their geography that they’re underdeveloped, not colonialism

im pretty sure they were passive then white people came and slaved them

Also colonialism started the introduction of modern technology, roads, schooling etc. etc. at an unprecedented scale in the Iron age Africa. Yes they commited many atrocities but without colonialism Africa would probably be even more undeveloped had it not been for colonialism.

BbC is innocent they were happy & free then you wh*toids came & spread ur western crap, now you cry when your own islands get BBC’d.

No one in Africa cared for any of that stuff so it’s not a good argument,

Because colonials drew borders over tribe lines & funded radicals

True there were pros and cons. They still shouldn’t have done it though. But the notion that it’s underdeveloped because of that is false
