The white man is so evil wallahi imagine being a forced laboror whos hands and feet were cut off to pay for 'hunting games'. Imagine the enforcers of these horrendous practices were blacks themselves. Atleast american slaves were valuable, forced labels means that your expendable.... worked to death and simply replaced by other africans. I wonder why I haven't learned this in history class? Eurocentric -biased learning is truly a sin

10-15 million africans killed!

I watched a documentary on this very subject a while back,this man was evil incarnate
Cutting off the hand of children that didn't meet his work quota,mass killings of people that refuse to work for him,yet these dumb Africans still have his statue displayed proudly in Kinshasha

Are you serious bro, this is like a Hitler statue in Tel Aviv! Simply inconcievable! This guy was sick wallahi, at first they went to the chiefs and bribed them with one piece of cloth for all their resources and slowly made the Enforcement crew out of natives, to enforce other natives.

Poor Africans, imagine how many other africans died becuase of Europeans.

Yeah wallahi,the reporter asked these Africans that were walking past the statue, if they knew this man on the horse.Meaning Leopold
They replied "Yes it is king Leopold! a great man indeed"
Dumb africans don't even know what he did ti their people

I watched it on tv anigu,I can't remeber the name of the programme.Laakin it was about mass killings by the colonialists in Africa
Another one was by the Germans in Namibia,who set up concentration camps for the Herero and Namaqua people.Thousands died in these camps and it was way before the Natzi era
Germans peple say only the Natzis had concentratin camps,but it's a big fat lie

This Leopold character gave Congo Kinshasha to the Belgium government,and kept Congo Brazaville for himself only.Imagane one man saying the whole country is mine and I can do with it what I want.It was only after reports of so many attrocities could no longer be ignored that the Belgium government was embarassed into taking it off him and and replaced him with civil servants of the government
