What Really Happened in the Congo: Belgium’s ‘Heart of Darkness’

[You Win Perfect]

Well we already know that Nigeria is likely inevitable to be the first Black African nation with this weapon....

But I think we should focusing on practicing group economics and creating our own iconic devices and companies from the "Apple's " and "IBMS" by borrowing ideas from them but going above and beyond...

Africa used to be raped of her human wealth....now she is still strung up ....but robbed of mineral wealth

no amount of money or education is gonna make them treat us any different. so while we're doing all these group economics and iconic devices they will be right behind us with gun to shoot us in the back and steal more shyt.

I assume everyone here has seen this but I will mention it just in case

White King, Red Rubber, Black Death (2004)
The story of King Leopold II of Belgium's brutal colonization of central Africa, turning it into a vast rubber-harvesting labour camp in which millions died.

Good post. This was the movie that made me hate Devilpold. I can't even imagine the book version.

That picture of the man looking at his child's severed hand reminds me of why I have no love for Whites.

Breh, Nigeria doesn't even know how to produce adequate electricity or clean water for their citizens. Nothing will get done there. It is the most internally divided county on the planet...I dare someone to choose another that is more divided than Nigeria. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Nigeria is not the hope of Africa or black people, it is the laughing stock of Africa and black people worldwide.

The only thing that black people can hope for is a complete paradigm shift. I'm talk a plague that decimates and paralyzes the white population to the point that will hand over their wealth and their daughters just to pass down something to future generations. Another possibility is China going to war with Europeans and both destroying themselves beyond recognition and Africa rises back to prominence. If a world war pops off, I am

Over half of the population in the Congo died in less than 20 years. Somehow, we skip over the single greatest human atrocity in history.

They're just black Africans so no one cared. Its only recently that white people considered Africans human, hence the reason Leopld was allowed to rape and pillage for so long.

underestimate the evilness of cacs brehs...

Don't be so quick to write off Nigeria as a hopeless cause. I recently took a trip there and saw alot of progress. In a bout 10 years Nigeria will be dramatically improved. Tons of Chinese, Lebanese, Indians, and Arabs are moving there in droves.

@mbewane,
Are those events taught in Belgium ? How important are they in your country's history ?

I swear your perspective on Nigeria is real interesting to me. I'm a Fela Kuti stan so I hear him talkin shyt about the Nigerian govt a lot. It's still a lot that I need to learn to understand that side of the continent.

I have been to Nigeria more than a dozen times from '88 to '05. After '05, I have seen all I needed to see about that country. In about 10 years, Nigeria will be a fallen state. It is not built to last, it was built for colonial exploitation and anything beyond that is not going to work. I will up this post, if I am still posting on this site. Black people view progress as a few people enjoying life while the masses that suffer continue to grow larger. My dad is there half the year and does business there. Inflation of the Naira and Chinese outsiders have hurt his business. My dad went to secondary school in Aba, a city that was known throughout Africa for manufacturing. Today, those manufacturing plants are practically dead and the Chinese are taking over. He was born in the late 40s and has a deep knowledge about the country. My mom just got back from there two weeks ago. My parents will tell you that things were better 50 years ago that it is now. Go and ask any Nigerian old enough to know. The political system is a mess and has always been. That is why exploitation of resources and people are at an all time high. Nigerian universities can't even last an entire school year without a strike because instructors are not being paid. Bribing police so that you can get past a checkpoint. Bad roads, terrible health care system, lack of electricity, lack of clean water, terrorist attacks. That is not progress breh.

Do you realize that NNPC says that 20 billion USD is missing from their oil revenue? Ethnic and religious conflict is constant there and is extremely easy for the greedy and outsiders to exploit. Visit Nigeria during election year 2015 and see if you have the same opinion about Nigeria. Even when Abacha was ruling, people would come back to the US telling us how Nigeria is getting better and Abuja is so nice and people are living a good life and building mansions, etc. That in their mind was progress.

What do you think those Chinese, Lebanese, Indians, and Arabs are there for? They are there to sign government contracts and make money. Are the locals benefiting from this? Do you know about the coal mining in Enugu that the Chinese got? Do you know how many people died doing coal mining for the evil cac British under colonialism? The Chinese will be no better. Lebanese are coming to take construction projects and make millions instead of giving it to Nigerians that have constructional engineering experience and knowledge. Go to the Niger Delta and see who is making money there. It is not the people of that region. It is northerners and outsiders from other countries. Would an American seeing Chinese, Lebanese, Indians, and Arabs coming to the US and becoming millionaires overnight be considered progress?

If a world war pops off, I am not going into the US draft. Fukk these cacs, I will not be their pawn. We don't own shyt in this world to go across the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean to die for their ideals or their fukkin greed.

lol, any self respecting African has their escape route mapped out if the draft is ever instituted.

lol, he stayed shyttin on the Nigerian govt its so many songs I can name he truly hated that govt. Yeah, when your influences are Malcolm X and Kwame Nkrumah, you make timeless music, and talk endless shyt about people with power then you'll surely be killed. Those jerks threw his mom out of a windows and killed her, it's a price to pay when you fight against the system.

 

[DStyles]

They never discussed this in history class but are obsessed with the holocaust.

I actually learned about this this past semester. shyt had me and

to my history teacher. The best teacher I ever had

She also taught me that there is no such thing as "race".

There really isn't though
