White rule in various parts of Africa may not have been ideal, but look at the utter , murderous chaos that has filled its vacuum.  Africa needs benevolent dictators, they are not ready to civilly govern themselves.

Some would argue that it's white rule that caused most of these problems.

Maybe, but now that these white rulers are gone why are all of these bad things happening?

Because the whites went in, ravaged these countries, and then left.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an imperialist, but the Europeans made grave mistakes.

Ah, it is refreshing to meet a fellow imperialist

I agree, that actions and policies commited by Europeans in Africa have had a large contribution to the mess it is today.  Still, blaming it on Europe doesn't solve anything.  I would say in a short answer that Africa needs some severe westernization, they need a helping/guiding hand and it needs to be forced if necessary.  This should not be done to exploit European interests like before, but for the interests of Africans.  modernize and democracize
