When all is said and done, was "the white mans burden" in Africa *really* so misplaced?

If the Europeans didn't sort this disgusting crap out I pray the Asians or Muslim peoples would have.
Moral Relativism is bullshit

So there's pretty much only one way to discuss European Imperialism on this board?
Ie. with much political correctness.

Why must someone?
Do you think these people are unhappy living like this?
If they were, do you really think they would fight to protect their ways from outsiders?
Ian Long
Excatly how I think. Maybe the Western world should just back off from the rest of the world and just make ourselves happy. They don't want our help, then fine don't help them. No more money, no more food, no more supplies, no more anything.

Yes.
If you have to bathe in cow piss as a guard against infection, you're doing something very wrong.
Dylan Ramirez
They look so happy

Reminder you can't criticize female genital mutilation because its just their culture and all cultures are equal xd11!!!
Cooper Robinson
>Yes.
>If you have to bathe in cow piss as a guard against infection, you're doing something very wrong.
No, all you can say is that YOU wouldn't like to bathe in cow piss, because YOU find it disgusting or whatever. You cannot say that someone else might not want to, or might not at least find it tolerable (especially given that throughout history, urine was used by most cultures, including classical Rome and others, to wash clothes and such).
>Reminder you can't criticize female genital mutilation because its just their culture and all cultures are equal xd11!!!
Oh no, you can, just don't make the mistake of believing that your criticism is universal in its relevance. I mean it's pretty easy to see how people tolerate the mutilation of their bodies if the society they live in believes it to be normal (look at circumcision in the US, for example).

No, all you can say is YOU wouldn't fuck little boys up the ass because YOU find it disgusting or whatever.

The problem is "the white man's burden" is not at all how colonies worked in real life. "Giving civilization to the savages" is just what upper class Londoners told themselves was going on, when more often it was Heart of Darkness shit.
Jason Baker
>white people use babies foreskin to make
anti-wrinkle cream
So civilized
Xavier Rogers
America was a mistake.
Old Europeans had the right idea, colonials have a non-white kink in their brain and can't be trusted to run anything.
Owen Fisher
Good. The world would be no worse off if every last nigger was dead.
It shouldn't have been white man's burden, it should have been white man's crusade.
Jacob Jackson
Yeah we did some silly shit, I guess we had as much right to Africa as the blacks right?
I agree, we should have wiped the blacks out.
Objectively speaking, black people have had no benefit to humanity whatsoever.
Jackson Moore
This is terrible bait. Would you like to try again?

When you call a post bait, it is an admission that the post in some way triggered you.

White Man's Burden was Just.
Grayson Torres
I think that's a cartoon making fun of the global powers that be. We're giving them computers and GMO food that causes birth defects when they should be eating regular food.
Lucas Howard
>when they should be eating regular food.
Like chimpanzees?
Isaiah Wright
Good job illustrating the point.
Dylan Parker
>eating local fauna is alright if it is in europe and america
>niggers eating local fauna is degenerate.
Grayson Thomas
As long as it's not pygmies;
Ian Nelson
The point is there's still some bullshit "line in the sand" when it comes to moral relativism.
Are we every "morally relativist" when it comes to Confederate slavery? Of course not, because "moral relativism" is bullshit.

Austin Rivera
Not with political correctness, but without complete retardation.
Liam Hill
Let's not forget Indians and their fucking plague rats.
Small settlements and hunter-gatherer tribes don't generate pandemics.
Benjamin Harris
Yes I do think they'd prefer a life not shocking their tongues up cow's buttholes and getting their balls to grotesque sizes.
Do you also tell police not to intervene in domestic abuse cases?
Leo Gomez
>Muh smallpox
Yeah, Yuropeans never had to deal with deal with foreign diseases right bro?
Benjamin Flores
What's your point?
Carson Martin
Seeing as the bubonic plague wasn't introduced to europe forcibly by explorers but rather trade routes from which the europeans traded, you have no point.
Maybe europe should have been self sufficient then :^)
Dominic Cox
whats yours?
John Martin
The white man is literally too good and pure for this world
which is why he is being killed off
t. Race realist.
Camden Scott
>muh GMO
Neck yourself you hippy
Jason Richardson
Dunno about the other guy but my point was that civilization was a mistake and you can't fault Africans for spreading contagious diseases after you caused them to multiply their population by 100.
Nolan Phillips
I'm not the same guy I was just asking a question
Aiden Miller
>forcibly by explorers but rather trade routes from which the europeans traded, you have no point.
Or, y'know' by Eastern imperialists
Jace Price
Seeing as Europeans had to contend with many tropical diseases in the "New World", you have no point.
Maybe Americans should have been less shit then :^)
Jonathan Collins
Diseases like what? And to what extent did Europeans have to deal with them?
Christopher Miller
Malaria.
Are you literally retarded?
Cameron Thompson
Malaria in America?
Joseph Rodriguez
>Malaria is a tropical disease
Jayden Gray
Yeah, eventually.
Evan Miller

like the damn genoese with their colonies in the black sea.

"To Dr. Rodolfo Acuna-Soto, a Harvard-trained infectious disease specialist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City, it made no sense that a deadly outbreak of European origin could occur so long after the Spanish arrived, because the natives who survived previous plagues would have passed on their immunities."
