Thanks for this! I'm "reading" this for a book club but fell behind. 🎉😂❤

The book by Walter Rodney on How Europe Underdeveloped Africa could have an also have an alternative title *"HOW EUROPEANS SABOTAGED THE MENTALITY OF AFRICANS"* Through the charades of European Education, Religion, Mass Media, Democracy and Myriad Traditions and Cultures. To illustrate the point Africa is home to 60% of the most expensive imported cars in the world, the only continent without a single vehicle production factory and without a single Urban Mass Transport Systems, which is a must in big cities. While Africa is home to some of the biggest cities in the world, Cairo 22 million, Lagos 20 million, Kinshasa 18 million and other twenty cities with over 5 million. The only continent with abundant minerals, which foreigners own and export cheaply to their countries and we import expensive foreign products which we proudly and stupidly displays the "Imported Label" to feel *"IMPORTANT"*

Don't leave out West Africans development in Agriculture etc. Seems to be a concerted effort to leave out West African Empires when it comes to discussing our impact on the world. Israelites also who were on the West Coast of Africa contributed also to Agriculture and technology.

So this video production is a master class and extending the concept of “the white man’s burden“ where in Denver Kingsford just not able to develop their own economies, and it falls on white people to help them overcome what other groups in similar historic situation‘s have overcome. Well the British were in Africa for a few decades they were in India for hundreds of years in India is doing rather well, they even have a space program in nuclear energy. Japan has very few natural resources and yet is going to the wealthiest countries. Thai won another island with very few resources is one of the wealthiest per capita places in the world after the British left. The blacks of South Africa were handed a fully developed first world country and at this point people experience 12 hour blackouts a day, the railroad steel is loaded and sold for scrap, a water crisis looming of magnitude. And every chapter of this video the queens could not hold up to scrutiny. The absurd notion the Africa was stripped of its resources is laughable. The Europeans have been mining resources on their continent for thousands of years why aren’t they depleted? I have confidence that Africans will eventually rise. At one time England was a colony of the Roman empire and like all colonial experiences England benefited yet when the Romans left it took quite a long time for the British to rebuild and become a more modern state these things just take time.

The fact that your brain can only conceive of the British effects on Africa, while ignoring the German, French, Spanish, etc. France still has neocolonies in Africa today. You are willfully ignorant
