It's not exactly dark. If this is true (I'm not sure if Nigeria and Mali count as 'civilizations'), it's but the current state of affairs at a given moment. 2000 years ago (which is the blink of an eye in world-historical terms) there was no 'pale white' place that had a civilization. One Muslim traveler wrote that the farther north you go, the paler people get, and the stupider they get. Obviously, history proved that they were not incapable of such a thing, and now they have in fact surpassed previous civilizations and most of those places are total basketcases.
The Sahara is a formidable barrier, so it's not exactly surprising that isolated people are less developed than Persians who can easily copy the civilization of Mesopotamia and then build on that. The people in the Canary Islands weren't Stone Age savages because they were white, but because they were isolated.
I'm not sure if Africa will ever be a great place. I do hope so, because in the 21st century, it will be the center of Christianity, let alone faithful Christianity. Perhaps the values that made the West great can make Africa great. I have nightmare visions of a Europe that has sunk into complete chaos and degeneracy, and we have impeccably dressed African Christians with a monocle visiting us like a safari tour, whispering to each others in a horrified manner: "they say these people castrate their own children because their priests, whom they call "scientists", tell them they should do it!"
