This is a crazy story...

I love how religion is the ultimate cop-out. "Oh, no, you don't understand... I'm not a bad person, the DEVIL made me do it!"

Africans are on the whole worthless pieces of shit who will never develop a useful culture. We are doing them no favors by showing them Christianity.

If that is true, it's our fault that they will never develop a culture (white people, that is). We're the ones who conquered and exploited them for our own personal gains, so I feel like we owe it to them to try and help, not just call them "worthless". Does racism really rub off that hard in Germany?

If it's our fault, then why were they living in tribes with almost no technology whatsoever when the colonial period started, whereas almost every other country or region in the world was technologically advanced?

Guns, Germs, and Steel :P

Seriously though, when you say every other country or region was technologically advanced, you mean every other country or region that Europeans invaded and conquered, right?
