I've been reading up a little bit on some of the insane dictators the 20th century had produced, they make Trump look like Santa Claus by comparison

 

[meyou]

Yeah colonialism is pretty fuckin awful

 

[B-Line]

Damn that’s horrible.

 

[AndyP]

Yes. Some of it is fucking brutal. I know a guy who performed a c section on his wife in their house in the Congo during a gun battle happening around his block. Both mom and baby survived. He’s a fucking bad ass.

90% of the continent has been raped and pillaged for centuries by colonizing white countries and all we do is make fun of them for being too skinny

 

[Colleen]

I've seen that picture before and every time I always think about how strong of people they must have been to continue with life under those conditions. not sure if I could have done it

In 1890, George Washington Williams coined the term "crimes against humanity" to describe the practices of Leopold II of Belgium's administration of the Congo Free State

That's something to be remembered for.

 

[Carrera]

that is absolutely atrocious. I have a two year old, and I cannot imagine this.

 

[The Great Deceiver]

Belgium never paid for its crimes in Congo. It was among the worst crimes, if not THE worst in recent history. In fact, statues of Leopold II still stand in Belgium as of today

 

[Buzz Killington]

And Europe knew about it at the time

 

[ʎǝʞsoɹƆɔW]

now china is rolling into africa.....I can't imagine it will be a long term improvement.
