I heard "imperialism", "colonization, and "violence". Kind of flattering, really.

Have people ever heard anything about Africa's history? Regional or more widescale. You will find colonization(fancy word for ethnic expansion), imperialism(subjugation and conquest), and violence. https://twitter.com/GraduatedBen/status/1328398420986507271
In many cases, you will find violence that even white people would find over the top. Like, eating the hearts of their enemies, or in some areas outright cannibalism as a norm. Launching periodic raids just to drag more slaves in, African trade and economy often relied on slavery
They'd kill anyone who wasn't fit, or useful, or resisted, and enslave the rest. Often this was done purely to sell them to Arabs, Berbers, or the white man. The great empire of Mali that you might have heard boasted about, grew from imperialism, a slave economy, and a gold rush.
Slavery was ended in Africa by the British Empire, mostly. And not by ending it among themselves. They had to end it, by force, among Africans too. And Ethiopia(which was not colonized) had official slavery into the 20th century, because it was not affected by this.
The Bantu expansion pushed out or exterminated many other peoples, including the primitive hunter gatherer tribes of the southern part of Africa. The Bantu were the colonizers with superior technology and numbers in that situation. Being black didn't change a thing.
I have read quite a bit of stuff on Africa over time. I half feel like making a thread, but I don't want to dig up tons of quotes right now. Anyone that looks into this, will find what I said is true. Not a condemnation of Africans, either. I aim this at a different target.
Idiotic liberal ideology is the problem here. A lot of people have the idea that the world will be some kind of multicultural utopia, if not for white people. Not true at all. Nor will demographically destroying ourselves and handing power to others be in any way good for us.
It won't be better for anyone else either. Whatever group dominates will rule to their advantage. Ethnic and racial grievances will burst into rapid violence. Think of the Hutus and Tutsis, but bigger. That was done by "black" people on their own.
