The biggest refuted claim about why Africa isn’t as prosperous as other continents and the inhabitants is that they were enslaved.
I have 2 arguments for this.
1. Everybody was enslaved, just that the black slave trade is talked about more so why are nations like India and chinas gdp expanding every year. The reason that I use China and India as a example is cuz they got their freedom around the same time as many African nations. Mind you India in particular isn’t as advanced as China but is still miles ahead of many African countries
2. If the Africans of the east and west were so “woke”, ahead of their time, had technology then why couldn’t they fend off the invaders. mind you I do know that African tribes sold other tribes and that it wasn’t just “whitie vs blacks”. In fact their were conflicts between many west European nations at the same time while Africa was being taken over.
I already know the answer, I just wanna hear counter arguments that could go against my arguments
