@radiomast what @masukuma is saying true it's the culture that changed. Mzungus after the fall of rome were unable to maintain the high culture of the roman and greek civilzation. It's actually the arabs who preserved the writings of earlier civilizations. Mzugnus had to undergo an age of enlightenment to catch up. However, the war like nature of mzungus is in their DNA those Neanderthal genes. The history of conflict shows they are the most violent race. Heck even the EU was formed to stop them from going violent again.
Mwafrka too had a high culture for over 3000 years in Egypt until they slaughtered all the high society people and started wandering in the forests.
All in all if you travel in Africa in areas which were properly colonized (kenya, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Botswana, Namibia, Morocco) there is a marked difference in culture when compared to the areas with indirect rule.
The other thing @masukuma is ignoring is the rapid population growth especially in the Sahel countries. This is where the German minister had in mind to establish chartered cities. Spreading high culture will be pretty difficult. Ever tried to argue with people from Juba or Congo or the loud Guineans, you will appreciate Kenyans pleasant high culture courtesy of being colonized by the upper class British society
I don't deny that Europeans are also war-like. Every country has selfish individuals. The difference is that Muzungu seems to have a system in place where they learn from their mistakes. Mwafrika never learns. Mwafrika is too greedy and self centered to consider whether the consequences of his actions will have a negative impact on his own society.
Masukuma is a classic example. Thats why he keeps propagating that kujipanga nonsense.
A muzungu will likely wage war against another country. A muzungu will happily steal from another country. he will happily exploit other people.
Mwafrika on the other hand will wage war on his own people and steal from his own people and exploit his own people.
How often do you hear of civil war in the UK or France or Germany? It is very rare even throughout history.
Now look at how often Africans are always at their own brothers throats be it Kenya or Rwanda or Sierra Leone or Zaire or S.Sudan or Naija or Algeria or ............. And its often closely related people fighting like Hutu Vs Tutsi who are basically the same people or Dinka vs Nuer who are closely related.
Muzungu seems to understand that a society benefits when everyone makes progress.
Mwafrika on the other hand wants to benefit at his neioghbours expense. Thats what masukuma calls kujipanga. Its the height of nonsense.
