Bayelsaowei knows answering that question will possibly challenge his worldview and beliefs, so he has run away from it.

The easy thing to do was to just say, Oboy, you are right. Colonialism was bad, but these are some things we benefited from because of it.

Saying that is not the same as saying colonialism was good.

Take Messi for example. The genetic/growth issues he had growing up were bad. They almost ruined his life and career. But the same condition that required about $1,000 a month in treatment in the 90s also became part of the story that shaped him into the greatest footballer of all time.

So yes, he benefited from something connected to a bad condition. That does not mean the condition itself was good.

That is the same point here. Colonialism was bad, but admitting that English became useful to us today does not mean we are praising colonialism.

This is what the governor of California is writing about a company that employees thousands of Californians and likely pays taxes to the state

https://x.com/GovPressOffice/status/2057532274875502994

Californians, if you’re hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to AVOID Chevron.


He blames Chevron for the high gas prices in California while across the border in Arizona is $3 cheaper

The juju that Netanyahu and the Israeli government is using on the Trumps administration needs to be studied.

You didn't add.

America has also paused selling military hardware to Taiwan to stock up for the next phase of the Iran war. Losing revenue in other words.

How many missile interceptors should America have used in your opinion?

Kilmar Abredo Garcia ,the Maryland father.
Judge throws out the human trafficking case case against him..He termed it vindictive prosecution because Pam Bondi and Tod Blanche are biased and made statements.

?

Kilmar who got a final deportation order in 2019 is still in America. His daily job,while not beating up his wife , was transporting illegals into the heartland .

Obama judges starting with Boasberg are fighting to keep Kilmar Garcia in America. This one who has effectively freed him is an Obama judge too. Kilmar should get an order that also allies him to vote.He can argue successfully that their votes are important to prevent excesses by future administrations.

The Nazis would all be walking free if such judges existed then.

I'm using it because some of it's words words in ethnic language sound horrible.
An example would me wanting to say fuq you (which I really want to) . if I use vernacular it will sound very vulgar.
See how important English language is? Makes some words sound less harsh thsn intended meaning.

Travis County District Attorney José Garza released three illegal migrants back out on the streets instead of holding them for ICE, in an effort to stop them from being deported.
Those three illegal migrant teenagers then went on a shooting spree across Austin over the weekend injuring at least four people, including a man who was walking his dogs on Sunday morning.

🔷️Cristian Fajardo Mondragon, 17,
illegal migrant from Mexico.

He was arrested in January for stealing a firearm from Central Texas Gun Works.
Instead of being held for ICE deportation, he was released by Travis County under DA Garza’s oversight.
He now faces six felony charges including:
➡️Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,
➡️Aggravated assault with a motor vehicle,
➡️Deadly conduct,
➡️Theft of a firearm,
➡️Burglary of a vehicle, and
➡️Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

The other two suspects, ages 15 and 16 are described as Hispanic males. Police have not publicly released their names or immigration status.
The group stole multiple vehicles and a gun, then carried out at least 12 separate shootings over 28 hours across South and East Austin.
They hit people, homes, apartments, businesses, vehicles, and even Austin Fire Department stations.

One victim, Sean Fuentes, was shot multiple times while walking his dogs. Three other people were also sot.

Republicans are blasting Garza for not cooperating with ICE.


This Soros sponsored DA should be charged as an accessory. He should be incarcerated while his trial is going on.
Families of the victims should also sue him.
The pillory should be brought back .

history lesson for today.

I showed how all Jews in neighbouring Israel were chased away or fled to a man leaving all their properties behind. Most were business people, the Muslims forbade them from owning land then. To this day those Arab countries never returned that wealth , running into hundreds of billions today.
The Arabs who are now called Palestinians were told by invading Arab armies in 1947 to run away so that all Jews in present day could be driven to the sea ie exterminated which is nothing short of genocide.
They fled Israel to the neighbors, around 750,000 of them at most, very few of them alive today.
Their children are called refugees. In international relations successive generations of refugees are not refugees and supposed to be settled by the host countries.
Israel happily resettled all fleeing Jews from all corners of the world,including airlifting a black Jewish community from Ethiopia. Arabs. Said no to Palestinian resettling them. In recent wars Arabs won't resettle their Muslim brothers,it's left to America and Europe to give them a hope and new life .
Arab countries occupying 5.2 million square kilometers of land verses Israel 22,000 sq km could have safely given these people a home. Instead the UN established UNRWA which gave them permanent refugee status. Most of their staff in Gaza are either Hamas militants or support Hamas.
Neighbouring countries that hosted then like Jordan expelled all Palestinians. Reason. They wanted to overthrew the Jordanian king. They went to Lebanon where they caused more problems launching attacks after attacks into Israel and gave rise to Hezbollah.
Others went to Kuwait, when Saddam invaded it, the Palestinians supported Saddam. Kuwait expelled all of them.
This year Qatar expelled their Palestinians because they support Iran.

Palestinians are just an entitled people whose sole reason for existence is to exterminate every Jew. They were given back Gaza , voted for Hamas which immediately set about launching rockets , coming terrorist attacks in Israel whenever they got s chance. Instead of building Gaza , they built massive tunnel networks with the cement they got in aid. The naval blockade exists because Hamas interest was to smuggle weapons from Iran to kill Israelis. They smuggle weapons through tunnels between their border with Egypt. Egypt doesn't want these troublemakers. Egypt has built a multi layered fortified wall barrier along all it's boundary with Gaza. With cameras, armed guards and concertina.
The world berates Israel for it's security fence against Gaza ignoring this wall by Egypt below.

You think I will continue to indulge you on this?

I have just left you to continue on your downward spiral. When you’re done basking in your love with colonialism, you’d pull yourself back up.

Only you says colonialism isn’t good

The same you still says it was beneficial.

You see yourself?

And you want me to waste my time answering you.

Like my life would be hell or hopeless if we weren’t colonized.

Even if that thing would disadvantage you as an immigrant, you’d have no choice but to support it because it is coming from your lord and personal savior. You must support this one oo..

When Trumps immigration crack down started, we told you racist supporting Nigerians that Trump is after immigration in its entirety.. we told you guys he is after both legal and illegal immigration.

But what was your response and that of others? “Trump is after the worst of worst”. I have said it before and I will say it again. It is either you guys are deliberately blind/deaf to the intentions of Trump and his team or childishly naive to it.

You are the one who sort of deligitimized Israel calling them invaders.
They are not invaders . The Arabs should resettle their brethren.
The dynamics have changed. Palestinians main supporter was Iran , backed by all the Muslim countries. Which now are being protected by the Iron Dome and have no time for them now.
That should clear the matter.

It is a shame that you and C lack basic comprehension.

I told you exactly what you would do: take my post in isolation, remove the context, and pretend I said something different. And that is exactly what you did.

You quoted this part:
My point is still that education matters, history matters, racism matters, colonialism matters, institutions matter.

But you deliberately ignored the two main BUTs in my argument:
But internal choices also matter. Leadership matters. Culture matters. Accountability matters. Family structure matters. Greed and selfishness matter. and the other.

That is the context.

My argument has never been that climate, history, colonialism, racism, or education have zero effect.

My argument is that they do not answer the present question of why many African countries are still badly governed, badly maintained, corrupt, tribalistic, and underdeveloped in 2026.

See through this example:
Gravity makes flight difficult, so gravity matters. We humans did not sit down and say, “gravity is a root factor, so flying is impossible.” We used intelligence, science, engineering, to build a mechanism to overcome it.

That is the point.
Climate may create difficulty, just like gravity creates difficulty. But serious societies respond with technology, planning, discipline, institutions, and accountability. Unserious societies turn every difficulty into an excuse.

Many of the climate barriers you are talking about had already been conquered by technology before most African countries gained independence.

You can continue to be ignorant and accept failure because you are normalizing it. Don't just cry when people look at Africa and call it a sheet ole.
If you knew they mattered, you would NOT have called them excuses - to the extent of mocking any mention of them.
As for progress, as with all societies, it doesn't happen overnight.

Rome was not built in a day, but since black men cant build their Rome in a day, they are useless, according to you lot.

Its not just that you attack everything black. It is how when the tables are turned, you defend everything white. That is what shows your colonial mentality and inferiority complex.
