Yes, I too - who have spent a lot of time in Africa and can even speak some of the native languages as opposed to going there on holiday - can safely say that the African tribes or peoples were getting along quite nicely until the European arrived and imposed 'civilisation' in the form of religion etc on the continent.

Africa has little to thank Europe for - the Germans drove the Herero people into the desert and poisoned the water holes. Tens of thousands were killed by this genocide. The Zulus didnt behave so atrociously.

Then of course, the British turned up and decided that they would take on the Zulus. Martini Henrys versus assegais. And the Zulus werre still able to put up a pretty good show.......

No, I think that the African peoples can hold the moral high ground.
