The blacks felt that the Indians had profited from their labor while not working the soil themselves; they also felt that they could do the same function themselves.
This is how Freddy Mercury’s family ended up in England - they were expelled from Zanzibar. It wasn’t really a violent expulsion, but those Asians (unlike the British that left) could take nothing with them.
The former British East Africa has paid the price for that policy ever since.
True. And AfricanChristian is correct that Africa has a number of different cultures, etc. The Ethiopians and North Africans in particular can't be clubbed with the sub-Saharan africans as their cultures and civilisations have always been in step with the Eurasian land-mass.
I see the problem of the native Americans and Aborigines as related to a civilisation at an earlier stage of development coming upon a civilisation at a much later stage.
What happens is classic -- the women adapt, but the men feel that they can no longer be bread-winners and so sink into alcohol or other substance abuse.
It's not so bad if the civilisation is just a few "steps" behind. But the problem is that much of West Africa and Southern Africa that was not in contact with the Arabs by the 14th century was still very much behind Eurasian powers. In fact, with the notable exceptions of West African Ghana etc states the rest of sub-saharan africa and africa south of Ethiopia was still tribal and nomadic and had not evolved socially beyond that.
They could not cope as a society (note as a society -- individuals brought up in a different culture would act differently -- this is not a race thing) with the heightened development and social needs for industrial farming or trading etc.
The trading was done by the Indians, specifically Gujaratis and Marwaris who have been traders for millenia.
This is similar to the position in Western Europe in the 5th-7th centuries, in Scandanavia from the 7th to the 13th centuries and in Central Europe until the 12th century. The Jews performed the same part in Europe as Indians do in Africa (this of course means that AFrica CAN catch up).
