Slavery was an improvement, a horrific one at that, after what some African Kings did before. Not always out of cruelty but out of necessity from their point of view.
To hear Cruci talk one would think Africa's problems started with the Whiteman going there. Far from it. Africa was a mix of tribes that regularly were raiding each other or at war. The Zulu Empire wasn't formed by cooperation. The Pigmy tribes are still today persecuted.

Europe had the benefit of large countries no longer held back by tribal differences. Allowing it to rule the world. Africa still suffers from the same problems it suffered before the Whiteman discovered it.
