MODERATORS
Africas fucked and it's not all the whites fault.
People aren't blaming "the whites", they are blaming the colonialism of Africa in the 18th and 19th century. You are the only person who is falsely equivocating that as all "white people".
You have nothing to do with the achievements or failures of colonizers from the 1800s. Your only fault is that you actually believe that "white" is anything but an outdated classification system, invented to justify things like the Scramble for Africa and slavery.
The only reason you even have a grievance is because racial "science" has told you that you are somehow connected to these historical figures, despite not being the same ethnicity, or sharing any culture, or even speaking the same language.
For the love of God, just read some history about the Scramble for Africa.
