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
I've heard Rosa Parks was part of that marxist trend in the black community, and her bus ride incident was co-conspired by at least one journalist.
Same with majority of Islamic terrorism
I disagree there.
While I do believe that they have the same origin, namely the devil, islam has been terrorizing, enslaving, and butchering innocent people for centuries before Marx ever shit out Das Kapital.
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
