I remember talking to an old Nigerian man who had British citizenship or something like that due to being born when Nigeria was part of the Crown. He was saying that he wishes the British were still there and there was more good than bad with being under the British crown.
To your point I was just saying I don’t see them getting lectured for being bad because they don’t have night diversity.
I have several Sierra Leone-ian friends.
To a man every one of them says "blacks cannot govern themselves. Give us the English back."
I have heard that in 2000 there was a massive rally in Freetown asking to be re-admitted to the British empire. This was after the country had been ravaged by a horrific civil war caused by criminal elements from Liberia infiltrating the country to steal its natural resources. First the RUF then an off shoot of it called the "West Side Boys" - they committed atrocities that would cause most people here to be sick if I described them. An endless brutal campaign of rape, torture, chopping off of limbs (especially of children) and murder.
The country hired Western mercenaries from Britain and South Africa to deal with the RUF but western governments bullied them into getting rid of them and having the UN instead. The UN mission was quickly defeated by the militants and at one point the only thing holding the rebels back from Freetown was a lone Hind gunship piloted by former South African Airforce Colonel Nial Ellis. The British army had to intervene eventually and made very short work of the militants. At one point the West Side Boys captured a patrol from the Royal Irish regiment as part of their leaders cunning "Operation: Kill British" plan. It backfired badly when pretty much the entire SAS landed right on top of his headquarters the one morning and captured him hiding under his bed and retrieving the hostages.
With all the talk of colonialism I’d love to hear from Africans with a different viewpoint. You aware of any interviews or essays? Like in the 20s and 30s they interviewed former slaves (who were old by that point) but I remember some people on FB being shocked that some of them had kind words for their former masters. I remember asking why does it shock you that there was a spectrum with slave owners from very cruel to very kind and everything in between.
I'm aware that the vast majority of "anti colonial" thought was funded by the USSR in the fifties and sixties. Resentment of whites and communists is a Venn diagram that approaches a circle.
It was about the same here too, it just took hold better. Black supremacist views are expressly tied to marxism, and were foreign imported by the usual suspects.
The more I read and learn about Booker T Washington (who is despised by the black left) the more I see he was right. He wrote a letter saying things will take time and we are not equal to the white man and we will have to educate ourselves and learn skills to gain respect. Now he was being very honest and realistic as a former slave.
The movie Uncle Tom 2 talks about Marxist invasion of civil rights movements and Soviet agitation of black communities. There was a book they mentioned by a black guy who was an ex communist talking about that very thing and they were using blacks as puppets against the U .S
Same with majority of Islamic terrorism
In one of the Discord servers I am a part of, there is an Eritrean man who moved to Saudi Arabia, and then managed to get to Canada. He is an Orthodox Christian who absolutely despises Muslims and American Black culture. He is one of the most based people I have ever met.
I always find it funny to see black Americans whining endlessly about how oppressed they are but then you have an African immigrant opening a small business and talking about all the great opportunities America has. I remember a coworker whose parents come from Nigeria telling me that a lot of Africans see black Americans as lazy and not taking advantage of the many opportunities America has
Same. At least 1/3 of hong kong wish they were still under british rule. That sentiment was pretty right up until covid hit.
China has committed to grinding the British Loyalists of Hong Kong into the dirt. Both by dilution (importing population) and by political oppression. It isn't a great place to be.
I was talking to a veterinarian from Hong Kong and she said that the Hong Kong locals had nothing in common from mainland imports. Locals speak Cantonese and English. Imports speak Mandarin.
She gave an example that a mainland Chinese family might be out with their toddler. They would think nothing of having the child drop their pants and shit on the street. If they managed to put down some newspaper first, they would think that they were being classy.
These tactics of genocide by dilution and replacement are tried and true. They are very effective.
