Byproduct of absorbing and stealing most of the wealth (human and capital) is that Western societies are fairly well developed in comparison. That is a neutral statement based on history.
Is that right?Then why are European countries who were under foreign occupation for centuries still more advanced the African countries who were never occupied?Let's say Poland,Slovakia etc...seem to be doing much better than Liberia for example?
If that theory was right Spain and Portugal should be two of the most developed countries in Europe,yet they don't even come close to Austrians,who never went to "steal wealth" in Africa.So maybe the difference in development is also connected with education,innovation,etc...
As far as racism goes as a white guy who had a misfortune to spend some time in Baltimore my impression was that average Black people are without doubt most racist people I have ever met,not just toward whites but pretty much anyone who isn't Black.
