The wealth of the west was built on Africa's exploitation

[Fantomas]

Thta's just one reason, but the most important

The West's wealth is in reality based off a lot of things, but the worst of the Western accumulations of wealth is its financial and monetary system, which are simply intricate ways of reallocating wealth and resources from most of the world to a few fat moneygrubbing hands in the West. What people who criticize the West should understand is that most people in the West are exploited, money-cattle, by the same people who exploit the world.

Afrocentric BS.

Europe was rich before they found Africa.

They exploited the fuck out of Africa, yes, but it wasn't at all necessary. They were already rich. The idea that the whole reason the West is wealthy is because of the exploitation of Africa, is simply false, all you have to do is see how advanced Europe was even before they knew Africa existed.

They were working class or farmer, but the standard of life has always been better than any other area.

The simple life is also a million times better than anything. I would not mind 'returning the wealth to Africa' even if it meant we would be farmers (it would not, but i wouldn't mind). I always long for simpler times.

I have no gripe with Africans. If we can accurately figure out the wealth lost we can return it to them.

The only french colony who have make profit was in Asia. The one in Africa were and still are a burden for us.

In the 19th century, cholera, plague and other illness, due to poverty and bad hygienic conditions were widespread in Europe
