Yeah, so was China, and they got whacked with Mao Socialism disaster until 1976. So you can't blame history, man, move up.

@wiings Really? Your division is due to people setting borders? Kid, in China, there wasn't just one colonial nation, every nation took control of a certain part in China. If they survived through that, you have no place to talk. It's not due to colonialism, kid, your people are just surprisingly incompetent. Move on, stop blaming other people. if it's due to your country having multiple community not being able to move forward together, blame your country, because you haven't been able to unite your country before the colonization process.

@wiings China was under colonialism for decades, they never said "country", they said being "free". China has multiple communities put into one country, each mountain have their own tribe. The nonsense here is that you blame it on "colonialism", that is insane, if it's due to having multiple community with no unity, that's not due to colonialism. So don't pretend that it is.

@marigi- Well, it's the Kenyan fault that they don't have a national identity. The nonsense that it's due to colonization, that's laughable. Colonization has nothing to do with you not having a national identity, it's your fault that you don't have a national identity. Colonization just happened to be around when you're not having a national identity. Other countries went through the same, even more severe colonization, they survived, and they thrived. So colonization is not to blame for Kenya situation, pal, because colonization didn't leave other countries with the same impact as it did to Kenya. Kenya situation is due to lack of national identity before colonization, and that is not the British's fault. They didn't treat you any more severe than the Chinese or the Indian. You just suck.

@jodyherman2 No, they were deprived of education. you think children of farmers have education? They're farmers. And the border has nothing to do with it, because it's the people living inside the border that makes changes. So, pal, stop making excuses.

@marigi- National identity doesn't come out of the blue, but they've had centuries to form it and did not form it. Whose fault is that? The British? If the British had not created Kenya, there would be no Kenya. So I think you owe them a thank you. Because without colonization, there wouldn't be a country nor a governmental system. So if it hadn't been for colonization, you would be even more backwards. So I don't know who you're blaming, the only reason Kenya is a country and not a bunch of tribe crammed together listening to chiefs and warlords is colonization. So who you're blaming? Now it turns out that only due to colonization do you have a country at all. Before colonization, China is still China, so without colonization, China the country would be in tact. But without British colonization, Kenya wouldn't even be a country. So pal, if left alone, Kenya would not be Kenya, it would be tribes of people, not even a country.

@marigi- Nice try, dummy. You don't have the right to ask for sugar spice and everything nice in the world. A thirsty person should be grateful that they're offered piss, because otherwise nobody would give them anything. The simplest situation would we leave them alone to live out their tribal days, uselessly. The notion that countries have responsibility to do good to each other, that is insane, kid. Because the Kenyans themselves didn't pay any attention to their enemies, the people whom those tribe conquered didn't get much attention. Get back to reality.

@WildsDreams45 You're right, Africa has a longer history than China. Like you always say, life started there. What happened?
1
@WildsDreams45 That has nothing to do with space colonization. It's comparison among human beings. You claim that China and Africa is not in the same area, well, historically, life started earlier in Africa, so is it the British fault that Africa didn't thrive to the level of China to be able to thrive after colonization?
1
@WildsDreams45 So the Kenyan didn't even came close to being a country? Maybe that's their problem pal, not colonization. Their surprisingly slow pace of governmental structuring change. If you're 10 meters behind everybody else, then the result of you loosing the race is not due to the people who force you to race, it's because you're 10 meters behind. Don't blame the British, the Kenyans are under-developed at that time of colonization, and if we had left them alone, they would continue to be that way.

@BrianA-vw2xk It's not me who claim, the dummies who pointed out that the Kenyans didn't even have a country proved that. They're still living in tribes, and by that, poor economic situations. Sorry, that's the truth. The Kenyan tribe very much did kill people, they were still tribe. How many tribe do you know that don't engage in hostile situations. Even more, there are multiple tribes in the same land. Even worse. Wake up, pal. Without colonization, they would still be tribe.
1
@BrianA-vw2xk That would be another false assumption of you. If there had been no lack of collaboration, they would have formed a country, pal. Every kind of society start as conquering other groups of people. That's how the tribe in Africa were formed, that's how kingdoms in China and Europe were formed. You can't keep blaming human basic instinct, pal. The Kenyans were taking the lands of the Kenyans next to them, by force. Why can't the British take it by force? The Navajos took the land from the cheyenne , and the Americans took the land from the Navajos, it's a cruel world, pal. The point here is not whether colonialism is morally justified or not, because everybody was doing it, some were just doing it at a bigger scale. The countries that were colonized, they were the ones invading other smaller communities before the colonization. China for example, That is a fact you can't deny, it happens in every continent, in every stages of history. So wake up, pal. And to the consequences of colonialism, like I pointed out, other countries got through it easily. It's not the British fault that Kenya were centuries slower than other countries when colonialism happens.

@bryane727 Doesn't matter, now they're mostly Han Chinese, but back in ancient times, there were countless tribe that were united by warlords. Kenya have a few centuries head start, but they are still tribes. Think about it.

Vlad the guru Before Chinese got united under the ancient legendary king, history recorded multiple tribe living separately. So it sucks that Africa didn't unite as a country, who to blame? The British?

@theONE-ws8lh And, your point is? The bigger you are, the more you're likely to success?
