Welchen Stellenwert hat die Berliner Afrika Konferenz auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent. #Berlinconference. Wer hat Beispiele? Ich beginne mit dem Klassiker der kamerunischen Geschichte: Engelbert Mveng 1978

Yes, they did.
African tribes that engaged Europeans in this slave trade are still reckoning with their part in this history.
At any rate, that western slave trade was completely abolished by 1888.
This thread was exploring how #WhiteSupremacy, #JimCrow and #SystemicRacism in America remains to this day, and how it hurt/hurts everyone.
When I put effort into exploring Africa's modern relationship with the west, one of the first areas for me will be the #BerlinConference.

@lordkhan There's a lot that Germany does better than we do on this side of the Atlantic, including not accommodating the creep of fascism. And, our education system is woeful; too many people think "antifa" - anti-fascism - is somehow bad, when the #WW2 #veterans they love to glorify were exactly that.
And it seems nobody knows about the #BerlinConference of 1884-1885.
Truth is against them - no wonder they eschew education.
