Interesting Proposal By English Anthropologist by Adeba01(m): 2:45am On Mar 03, 2020
Sir Francis Galton proposed a permanent settlement of chinese in east Africa, that would have eventually led to the complete replacement of the black people in that part of Africa.
I feel that this is relevant to today's current affairs; particularly in Africa as Africa is witnessing greater communication and transactions with China. Maybe it may lead to the chinese, forming their own territory or land space in Africa; and as a result black Africans will find themselves exterminated and displaced, in the same way the indigenous native americans and Australian aborigines got sadly exterminated.
Personally for me I feel it was a big mistake for Africans to have fought and demanded for independence from their former colonial European nations, as they (the African nations) were better managed and the African nations under colonisation had better law and order and enjoyed greater prosperity under colonisation.
The colonial officers did a better job managing and running the country than any corrupt African leader has done.
Ironically, being independent has made Africans to be more interdependent as they are running away to come to Europe and the Americas. There was a time where Africans loved and preferred their own homelands and would never leave it what has happened to that mindset?
Attached for viewing is a copy of the original document wherein Francis Galton states his idea of the Chinese settling Africa.

The greatest motivation for invasion is the belief that the invaded people are inferior. Certainly, the belief that negroes are inferior still persists and with the failure of black leadership in virtually all black countries, other races will be motivated to invade Africa once again and this time, the land of Africa will be forcefully taken from the blacks. This will start in less than 40years from now.
Africa would have been taken from us 200yrs ago but for our harsh weather. Today, the circumstances has change. Refrigeration and advance in medicine has guaranteed the survival of these races in our hot weather. We're only racing against time. They will surely come.

I do not believe in inferiority nor superiority, it is only a mere label, to me it simply implies a different mode of living. Neither is wrong nor right. There is nothing wrong in living a simple primitive rural life over a highly complex city life. Imagine if Africa were to be industrialised as Europe. It would be hell, with the toxic air and pollution the environmental degradation and so on. I think that Africa should keep to it's natural environment with its clean air and beautiful natural landscape.
That is why I can't understand so called humans and their pathetic, shallow way of thinking (especially women). I believe it is only right for each race to occupy its designated land in which nature intended, therefore whites have europe, black people have africa, Chinese people have China, korea and japan. Indians have India, Australian aborigines have Australia, amerindians have americas and so on and so on. I don't believe idiotic human beings should transgress these natural boundaries that divine providence decreed and ordained

I do agree with most of what you said but the reality is that the failure of a particular race to meet up with the advancement of the times makes it tempting for other races to invade them. Don't you watch movies where advanced alien civilizations are said to attack Earth for our resources? This is the reality. Imagine if you are to mistakingly find a group of primitive people whose fetishes are made of pure gold and you further discover that their land is filled with precious stones. What will you do? Steal little and run away or seek to dispossess them of all the things they're undervaluing? This will help you to understand human nature. They're coming unless we sit up and develop too. We don't have to destroy nature to develop. Technology is so advanced now that lots of mistakes the pioneers did in their course of advancement can easily be avoided by us. Keep sentiments apart and think deeply. China is already positioning herself to take over many African countries and you'll agree with me that they have no conscience unlike the Europeans who Christianity made to still have some sympathy. Anyway, that was then when they were still religious. Note it that there will be scramble for Africa again.

I don't prefer them. You surely don't know Asians. Chinese, Japanese (though I'm fond of them), Indians etc. They never had any contact with us for thousands of years until the 20th century. You've to be wary of them.
Re: Interesting Proposal By English Anthropologist by Adeba01(m): 8:06pm On Mar 10, 2020
Why I find the Asians better and why there is a preferance for them. Is that they keep themselves to themselves, they do not intermingle or miscegnate with us. They do not interfer with our affairs or business and they mind their own business
