So what if we are? Ask any African who remembers colonial times if things are better for them now.

Because Russians weep of shame when thinking of their past...

Nothing to be proud of - killing and looting.

I am sure that British would not be thinking the same
if one day giant Asian fleets come to their shores to
enslave them.

Colonialism is wrong whether it is done by white, brown or black
or anyone else for that matter.

Enslave? If it wasn't for the Royal Navy slavery would still be the norm all over the globe.

What if I told you today's suffering in Africa started exactly when the 'white men' put their feet on their continent? Only a British can defend British colonialism, just like a French defending massacre of Algerians for demanding thieves out of their country. There is nothing to defend or be proud of, at least for those who were colonized.

So colonialism is not a former of slavery then?

Dude, get of your high-horse and show some humility
as the world slowly changes to one where no-one culture
is dominant.

I'd tell you that you're speaking nonsense for several reasons:

1.You seem to think that Africa was a place where everybody got along but that's wrong.Africans were killing each other long before the arrival of the Europeans.The Zulus ,for example,almost wiped out the natives when they migrated in the hinterlands of S. Africa.
2.Africans were selling other Africans as slaves to Europeans.
3.It was the Europeans themselves who stoped slavery and they had to use force against muslim rulers who objected to the abolition of slavery.
4.More native Algerians actually fought alongside the French against Algerian rebels.

Educate yourself pls.

'There are 650 million people in Africa who haven't met with electricity yet and then only New York's usage of electricity almost equal to Africa, a continent. In such a world we can not speak of Justice.'' Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu

It doesn't sound any better.

They may not have electricity but neither are they being chained to shelves with their own waste and shipped across the ocean to be sold as chattel.

They were sold as slaves amongst themselves or ferried across deserts by muslim slave traders way before Europeans arrived.Not that the European slave trade was a good thing but atleast they had the human decency to stop it themselves.

At least Africans have the decency not to be "proud" of enabling slavery! The Brits should have the decency to recognize colonialism for the exploitative system it was ...nothing for anyone to be proud about.

That's a point.
