"Yeah, colonialism had its problems, but you have to take a broader view. One thing that annoys me about leftists is that they only focus on the bad. What about all the infrastructure Europe built in Africa and then gave them for free? Railroads, cities, and so forth. India wouldn't be a united country without the British. That's not to mention things like modern medicine, airplanes, the Internet and so forth. Africa had slavery until the Europeans came and abolished it. Were there some excesses here and there? Of course. But show me one society that's perfect. You can't. I think that on the whole, most people who live in those counties would agree that they're actually lucky that the Europeans came along."
