That doesn't matter one way or another. Europeans had no right to go into places like Africa and colonize those countries like the Belgians in the Congo or the French in Algiers or the Dutch in South Africa. They had no right to go in there and establish apartheid in South Africa. Anymore than we had the right to treat black people like "property" here in the US and enslave them and not pay them for their labor in the cotton fields or not pay them damages for the pain and suffering of slavery and it's long legacy of disenfranchisement of black people and the treatment of black people as second class citizens or non-citizens.
Black people are human beings like you and me and they deserve to be treated like first class citizens. And just like with white people, when damages have been committed by one party onto the other, then the party that has been wronged deserve to by paid for those damages. That's how first class citizens are treated. You pay them damages and ensure that they are given justice when wrong has been done to them. Black people deserve to be treated just as much as first class citizens as white people do. It's right and it's fair. But Trump and his followers don't want to do that and that's a problem.

Africa was far more corrupt before colonialism, it just was not recorded due to blacks not viewing their own civilizations as corrupt for various reasons.
