Hi, I've been on a fact finding tour of France's ex-colonial region. What I have seen so not much evidence of slavery, human, deprivation, baby raping and other typical racist behavior. I saw baugets, government signs in French, French cafe's, French coffee, Fench cultural centers, old men with pictures of the time they met the local French administrator. I think they want the French to come back.

I was always told that colonialism = the worst human vulgarity = racist nazi's = time to manipulate people.

There is evidentail inconsistancy with these accusations. I believe much less of what I hear now, especially when I am told what to think.

This can't be true. The French just backed that treaty or whatever it was guaranteeing cultural diversity by setting quotas on American movies.

Aren't you just hacked off 'cos you're a monolingual American?

Many blacks in Zimbabwe and South Africa will tell you in private that they had it better under white rule.

And we all knew that while the loony lefties of the west were busy dismantling successful countries in the name of some new age political policy.

Oh well, too late now:)

Raoier, Nigerians (and Sikhs) have told me likewise but Congolese in Brazzaville did not.

Successful countries? Like what. Iraq? Sudan? Indonesia?

The post colonial countries that have succeded had done it in spite of colonialism, not because of it. Colonies are successful for us, not the locals. Maybe Zimbabwe's an example, but only because its currently the worst place on earth.

They learned all they needed to succeed from being colonised. You can't become a rocket scientist if nobody ever taught you maths. European nations gave their know how and left an infrastructure. And a whole set of instructions on how to compete in the modern world.

I'd beg to differ. Education, medecine, employment, development and wealth are just a few of the benefits colonialism brought to the people it graced.
The colonies withdrew too early in many cases- the locals weren't quite ready to take the reigns, hence the newly independent disasters dotting the globe.


The supposed "brutality and exploitation' of colonialism is exagerrated in many cases. And in reality usually far less than what it replaced, and what replaced it.
