    Many people miss the whole point of colonization: If Europeans hadn't colonized Africa, somebody else would have. There will always be another colonizer looking over your shoulder. Indeed before Europeans arrived in South Africa, black people colonized South Africa - as the original inhabitants of SA were the San. Although this is not documented in the historical record it is evident from the archaeological and linguistic records. Black people were the biggest colonizers in Africa. To this day many of them insist on using the word "Africans" for themselves - as if the whole continent belongs to them despite Africa being inhabited by Egyptians, San, etc.

    This man is co.pletwly ofd.
