I learned about this dude in high school, he was indeed complete scum


Lothar Von Trotha's namaqua and herero genocide was fukked up as well.

Just an addendum to the OP: Twain is one of the most banned writers in the US. And unfortunately nikkas have been some of the ones asking for the bans.

High Ranking Army Officials wanted him murked

This was asked on reddit recently. Most of the redditors from Belgium didn't even learn about the Congolese genocide. It's like a German not being taught about the holocaust.

Redditors of Belgium! How are the actions of King Leopold in the Congo taught in your schools? • /r/history


One of the Belgian commenters even justified Belgiums decision to not demonise king Leopold and it sounded like he was grateful for Congo Colonialisation....and it was up voter 50 times,
but but bu white guilt

, cacs revealing their true selves on the internet

yeah well monster as he may be, he is the reason Belgium eventually ended up with the Congo and that paved the way to its position right now, without the money from the rubber trade we could never have built up such a densely built infrastructure, not even mentioning maintaining it.... besides he was one of our kings, so what can you do? We can't rightly remove him from the history books, and what use is it to destroy a monument created over a hundred years ago?

That cac came up with 5 different excuses

On some one of these should stick

I've heard about this before but not the degree of his atrocities. Yes it's something our history doesn't teach about.

Some of this bleeds over to the wars in Rwanda and the birth of the Hutus and Tutsis...

Man the whole cutting off the arms of your enemies was derived from King Leopold. People say Africa is a mess and act like whites didn't have a hand in it.

That piece of shyt Rhodes is never condemned for his evil either.

I was in South Africa a couple months back and on the open top tour of Cape Town - they talked about him almost like a father figure

One of many reasons I'll never go to that country again.

I had to read "King Leopold's Ghost" for a class in high school. Public school, too.

I guess my point is that, as far as white genocide in Africa goes, King Leopold is actually a very well-known example nowadays, due largely to the book by Adam Hochschild. Here's a lesser known example:

Herero Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EDIT - saw someone posted that in this thread already. Cool.

"there are many humorous things in this world; among them the white man's notion that he is less savage than the other savages".

Yeah but white genocide in Africa is almost completly unknown to the general public in the west. People still receive Rhodes scholarships to this day, and no one cares. Not too different from a Hitler scholarship, but African suffering is a footnote/minor piece of trivia out here.
