"In French West Africa, colonization was cheap for France and France’s contribution to the colonies’ development was very small until just before independence"
"These results are at odds with much of the
leading literature which emphasizes colonization as a financial burden" pic.twitter.com/Vdl5YwT5m0

many Africans believe they owe French colonizers for their schools, hospitals, roads, yet they financed 98% of them.
Colonization was therefore more of a black man’s burden than a white man’s burden

Again, it is WHY this blog is in English!

 

At his inauguration, US President Donald Trump invoked the colonialist "Manifest Destiny", promised to "expand our territory", and vowed to forcibly take over the Panama Canal (falsely and absurdly claiming China runs it).

This is blatant imperialism. He is not even hiding it. pic.twitter.com/qL0rJYZ320

🤣Until Trump threatens to show her nudes!
The USA never plays fair, and now there is a certified crook at the helm.
