Colonization= Better off?

[SultanOrder]

And those same people who were colonizers are the descendants of serfs, peasants, oppressed for millenia by a feudal system. The descendants of kings could be worse off here and now, than you and I. And the former peasant is a multimillionaire. So I don't really see any difference if your father was an african, or a peasant. The history of the west is that we don't care about who or what your father was, but who and what you are. It is the here and now, that we are talking about. Is neo-colonialism good, or is it bad, that is the debate we should be having. I don't see why you should deny him the right to have this view at all solely based on the circumstances of his background. Do you not believe in the freedom of the mind, equality, and openness to ideas and the freedom to discuss them without being judged?

The Gauls, Franks, Goths etc were all considered barbarians by the Romans, every dog has his day!
dude I was trolling.

No, Samatr. I'm not an elbow bearing trollop.

Uh-huh. Tell me more about this brand of western history.

This is (or was) about colonialism, not neocolonialism.

Yeah they have a big head start, greediness will be their downfall, the amount of over consumption in the west is ridiculous.
as a continent (Africa) we have all the resources in the world and we have not tapped into it like the west did with theirs, it could be a blessing and a curse of sorts.

Blitz my child, Obama is the poster child of what the west's highest ideals are. The west has matured into an open, tolerant society, that has moved past petty insecurities such as race, and background. He has heralded the end of the leap into the promised land, the one that Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed about. I am proud as should you to call myself a Westerner.

Alpha, I was simply pointing out a flaw in Blitz, blitzkrieg attack on Samtr.

I agree, that it was an attack on having the discussion, rather than on any points presented.

Yep. Discussions are for classrooms. Somalinet's a ridiculous website that requires little to no intellectual work. I'll attack what I don't like because my personal maturity doesn't exist within in this realm.

YAYYY

what's so special about about the elbow, or is it some new slang I am not hip to?
good night may troll bugs bite.

Our problem as Africans is that we are way too tolerant of our retarded ass leaders and we do stand up to our leaders we go ape shit and destroy everything there are exceptions (Egypt, but then again most were educated, education really does make a difference).

I always knew the african savageness bred into you was strong, purify yourself by adhering to the ideals of the civilized world.
