When your culture is made to fail by external oppression, it takes a little bit of time to "get back on your feet" once that oppression is removed. The longer the oppression lasted, and the more brutal it was, the harder it is to recover.
I'd argue today that most African nations still have quite a ways to go in both removal of foreign interest, and their timelines of 'development' essentially being reset.
Why did the US and allies put reconstruction of Germany and Japan as a primary goal post WWII? Why didn't we treat them like Germany post WWI?
What did we do to rebuild them? And how is their WWII occupation and reconstruction different from the dawn of post-colonial African nations from the 40s to 60s?
If you can answer those questions, you can understand how asinine it is to compare Japan's post WWII state, with African post colonial states.
Europeans are not some gift to humanity or the world. We got lucky.
Liberal logic as usual. Arabs invaded and occupied Spain for four centuries. Then theyw ere kicked out and Spain colonized alrge swaths of the world. A small country like Portugal colonied amny parts of the world.
Have you even been to any big African city like Nairobi or Durban or Cape Town or Cairo??

Something that always gets totally ignored. A fortunate combination of domesticable crops, domesticable animals, temperate climate, vast mineral resources, fertile land, and deciduous forests. that didn't exist anywhere except Europe until the discovery of America
And America was already inhabited! Millions of American Indians lived here and had their own civilization. They didn’t progress despite having ridiculous amounts of resources. Once again, you are wrong. CULTURE is the reason! It’s always the reason!
European culture is 35,000 years old.
bob2356 saysEuropean culture is 35,000 years old.
Don’t confuse race with culture. The fact that you made this statement means you have no idea what culture even is.
Want to tell me what culture is and why everyone except you calls it pre historic cultures then?
lostand confused saysJapan was bombed

Vietnam is a closer compare, but not by much.
Culture is the set of traditions and values a society uses to shape the preferred actions of its citizens.
Clearly, the resultant European cultures had little to nothing to do with “ancient cultures from 35,000 years ago.
Rhymes with White Eyes taking Native Americans' land.

Julius Malema, the leader of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (Communist and very anti-White), literally says that they won’t slaughter Whites — yet — as long as they give them what they want.
“The land must be expropriated without compensation.”
“We are not calling for the slaughter of White people, at least for now.”
“The rightful owners of the land are Black people. No White person is a rightful owner of the land here in SA and the whole of the African Continent.
