The seven primary European countries that colonized Africa during the late 19th-century "Scramble for Africa" were the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, and Italy, dividing the continent among themselves with Britain and France holding the largest territories.
United Kingdom: Major holdings in East, West, and Southern Africa (e.g., Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa).
France: Controlled vast areas in West and North Africa (e.g., Algeria, Senegal, Madagascar).
Germany: Acquired territories like German East Africa (Tanzania) and Namibia before World War I.
Belgium: Ruled the resource-rich Belgian Congo (DRC).
Portugal: Held Angola and Mozambique.
Italy: Colonized Libya, Eritrea, and Italian Somaliland.
Spain: Gained Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara.

China has not colonized Africa in the historical, territorial sense that European powers did in the 19th century. Instead, China has established a massive economic footprint, becoming Africa’s largest trading partner and a major lender for infrastructure, leading some to debate if its influence constitutes a modern form of "neo-colonialism" or a, mutually beneficial partnership.

THE BLACK WOMAN SHE Is

What do you think will happen to the US if Russia, China, NK, and Iran join forces to address trump's latest threat to Iran?

Who's going to stand beside trump? Netanyahu? Canada? Denmark? ANYBODY IN AFRICA?

The real reason why Netanyahu was ALLOWED to commit genocide and DESTROY Gaza!

Africa has over 1 Billion people, yet only 15% of trade happens within Africa. It's easiser to send a package from Ghana to Beijing than to send a package within Africa. Chad shuts border with Sudan after soldiers from Chad were killed. I don't think any of us alive today will see the unity of Africa...

So he has Tourette Syndrome and the only thing that can come out his mouth after seeing two Black men on stage is ni**er? Not happy birthday or it's raining outside but ni**er? I call FUCKERY!

The slur was shouted early on in the ceremony while two black actors were on stage.

Sylvester's Dying Bed
BY LANGSTON HUGHES

I woke up this mornin’
’Bout half-past three.
All the womens in town
Was gathered round me.

Sweet gals was a-moanin’,
“Sylvester’s gonna die!”
And a hundred pretty mamas
Bowed their heads to cry.

I woke up little later
’Bout half-past fo’,
The doctor ‘n’ undertaker’s
Both at ma do’.

Black gals was a-beggin’,
“You can’t leave us here!”
Brown-skins cryin’, “Daddy!
Honey! Baby! Don’t go, dear!”

But I felt ma time’s a-comin’,
And I know’d I’s dyin’ fast.
I seed the River Jerden
A-creepin’ muddy past—
But I’s still Sweet Papa ’Vester,
Yes, sir! Long as life do last!

So I hollers, “Com’ere, babies,
Fo’ to love yo’ daddy right!”
And I reaches up to hug ’em—
When the Lawd put out the light.

Then everything was darkness
In a great ... big ... night.
