King Leopold's Ghost Still Haunts The Congo by ZaraGift: 3:55am On Sep 30, 2019
In the heart of Africa lies a country called the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is a vast place with lush forests, vigorous rivers, and incredible riches such as gold, timber, uranium, cobalt, diamond, etc. These natural resources have inspired a most unnatural history of greed and violence. For over a century, the Congo has been haunted by the memories of its past. While other African nations have come to terms with a history of exploitation and colonisation, the Congo continues to relive the unshakable legacy of one man - King Leopold II of Belgium, whose ventures cost the lives of some 10 million.

That's just it. Nothing has changed.
Then it was the europeans pacifying the arabs - who first destroyed black dignity - for economic benefit.
Now africans are mostly by themselves but, what have we learnt today?

you find that encounter like this, usually shape the relationship between two distinct peoples.
Since the european first encounter with the chinese, the chinese have always remained suspicious of them - and for good reason.

However, despite the atrocities committed to africans, how will you describe the black mans relationship with the arabs and europeans?? still naive

This guy one of the most evil men to ever walk on earth.
He was responsible for the death of 10-15 million Congolese and still counting till today because of the problems he created is still affecting them.

He is also responsible for the European scrabble of Africa due to him having the whole of Congo as his personal property.

Which also led to unhealthy competition in Europe and led to ww1 and rest is history.

I think the rise of nazi and invasion of Belgium was a punishment by God for all their actions in Congo and Africa.

Caucashits are savages

Very brutal animals

Forced their religion and their language on us

Finally The black isn't as strong as he thinks. The white animals were able to subdue and oppress the blacks

Whenever i watch this type of documentaries anger flow through my veins though i wasn't born then nor had any of my relatives experience


Till this day the black man is yet to emancipate himself from mental slavery

Still bound to the shackles of the white beast

They even forced their white jesus on us and today you see many ignoramus that don't know shit about their rel8gion making noise up and down and claiming Christian even more than the Christian

Black people are really viewed as the scum of other races. Even ordinary caucasians, asians arabs and even latinos look down on blacks

Only blacks keep crying racism like bitches. All the time

If only Nigeria wasn't a stupid shithole we should serve as a light for the black race. We shouldn't be depending on the white man and asians for so many things

Nigeria should be competing with America and China by now
We should have been a world power by now or atleast a major power nation

But no the black man has self hate and keeps making mockery of himself. If not why did Nigeria destroy and killed Biafran intelligistas that invented countless things that no African country has been able to produce till this day

I dey vex abeg. Watching this documentary makes feel like a slave in 2019. Even though i am not connected to it in anyway

The Belgian government should pay every Congolese in Congo a thousand dollars EVERY month throughout their lifetime.
