they took her daughters and sold her strongest sons

Do you think by any chance if Mother Africa's daughters weren't taken, Africa would be more developed today??

Do you think if it's strongest sons weren't sold they would have been able to build Africa more than it's built now??

To tell you the truth, I don't know how different our mother Africa would have been without the colonization and slavery,

All I know is globalisation and interaction has helped as well as ruined africa,

How?

Through globalisation we learn what will help develop and through interaction we learn of differen't cultures, languages, trades, and more...

I feel sad for mother Africa's struggle for I would like to ask would Africa be like this today??

The image of the world which is considered to be right and beautiful now, it is not necessarily the perfect one. I believe beauty is learned. Some of what we consider beautiful now , we consider them ugly in no time. If U follow how the Parisians detested the Eiffel tower when it was built, u might wonder how come it is considered the object of beauty now.Most of what the present generetion hails as great now, are not necessary or great for the human well being.

I believe, Africa left alone would just have been fine. It wouldnt look like the photos U posted though! We have alot of empty lands and the way African population was distributed before colonialism , wouldnt favour the kind of structures we see dominating the sky now.

Africa now plays catch up , to the rest of the world. Basically we are trying to do as others do. Without this I think Africa would have gone a different path, and not necessarily fittin to what is considered as developed to the present system of evaluating the world, but developed and working within African value system.

Hi, I totally agree with you with everything. Africa may not have been like the way it is but it wouldn't have needed to follow everyone else but heeey...that's our world we have no way of escaping imperialism. I like to spark discussions and trigger the human mind so keep visiting african youth vibe and spread the word.
