  1. Point 6: African exploitation. I see your point if you look at it from a purely "state investment" perspective. That is, however, a misleading argument to make. Every aspect of life, from race, to culture, to religion, to language was impacted by European colonization. It persists to this day where powerful corporations and/or states exploit the division and corruption of actors to exploit a region, often at a wholesale detriment to the local population. Oil, minerals, rubber, coffee, cocoa, gems are being extracted in an exploitative manner to this day. Heck, Elon Musk inherited his wealth from African slave labor in the mines in South Africa.
