The whole of Africa was better off under Colonialism. The anti-Colonists were mostly forces that have brought back Africa to its roots of barbaric tendency. If every former colony could be like the USA that would be magnificent but that has never been replicated. I don’t condone colonial brutality and lack of human rights but some cultures are a direct threat to themselves and advanced rapidly with outside western influence.

that is false. See my post above - the North Africans and Madagascar folks (Malagasy) were better off without forced colonial rule

you cannot compare the USA as a colony to any African colony -- the USA was a settlement colony: the majority of native Americans died before the Mayflower due to Eurasian diseases like smallpox etc to which they were not immune. the USA's colonization was whole-sale population replacement who brought the already developed Eurasian civilization (since they WERE Eurasians). Africa was different - and the colonization in Africa was only from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s

The White man's rule in Congo was Nazi-level bad

Your point is correct about many sub-saharan countries from nNigeria south, but you run against the exception of Botswana and to some extent Kenya
