Whitey holds power in the world, which means that he's still to blame for the problems of Congo.
In all fairness, though this guy obviously has no idea, white people demanding diamonds and cobalt for their electric car batteries probably are a leading cause of the troubles of the Congo...
You're right, but the problems with that place go much further back than that...
In general, I think giving a king a chunk of land that big, with already millions living there, as his personal playground, was always going to end badly, but then you have all these disparate tribes being forced to live and function together, disease, extreme poverty, etc...
It's just generally a very fucked up place. And I know people who grew up there. They're good people, individually, but even they have to admit the place is fucked.
Also Rwandans. Rwandans are fucking great value, if you don't yet know any.
It's always good to find Africans who are honest about, well, just how bad things are (or were, in the case of Rwanda), back home.
YES, BLACKS ARE TYRANTS
So he is acknowledging problems in the Congo? But it’s not a majority white country so by his logic shouldn’t it be a paradise?

Yep the demand for those items. I forgot about that. If you point out corruption in a mob white country it’s still the fault of white people.
Oh yeah demand for natural resources definitely gives one an excuse to abuse child labor and soldiers.
Know what happens in normal countries when there's a demand for something like that? Adults do the work.
