In what way exactly and when did the USA enslave the African Continent? Please be specific. I don't see the USA having any colonies there, although a lot of European countries did. It is absurdly hypocritical that these same countries like France, Spain, and the rest of the former European Empires now accuse the US of being imperialistic.
Do you realise that most of the harm done by White Europeans in Africa was before the US was even a country? I suppose it was still our fault though, huh? No, Africa is messed up for many different reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they all seem to be preoccupied with killing each other and making children as quickly as possible to provide more people to kill. Of course you find this situation just about everywhere that Islam encouters other religions or creeds.
So again, I ask you, in what specific way has the USA caused Islamic butchers to slaughter 2 million people in Africa?

I see european colonisation of parts of Africa as a positive thing, they introduced decent education systems, modern medicine, built the intrastructure (roads, water etc), and basicly brought the country out of the stone age. However, now that Britain has given the power back to the Africans the place has become a hellhole. The sad fact is that Africans are not yet ready to govern themselves.

A decent education system? For whom? That's like stating the US gave the blacks a decent education under the 'separate but equal' days.
Modern medicine? They sure as hell must of took it with them when they left, the infant mortality rate is Africa is horrendous. Maybe they are not ready to care for their young?
Roads, water? Who did they build the roads for? Who can afford a car? Water? Do you think the Europeans just 'dropped off the keys' to their countries and left? Were the blacks in America, 'not ready for freedom'? African issues, like most things in life, are enormousy complex. Unfortunately, people tend to simplify things to suit their own personal outlook of the world. Instead of trying to tie some sort of Darwinian answer to the worlds problems, people need to look at cause and effect.

Wow what a stupid ignorant comment that I'd expect from a white man (most likely conservative/republican one). Okay how about this, I'll enslave the whole freaking white race, hang them from trees, treat them like dirt, make them do slave labor for free, rape the wives while the husbands work the fields, seperate families and let me see how the hell you like it. Geez and I thought I had seen it all. And anyone who agrees with you is an ahole in my opinion. Man this is one reason I don't vote republican, people with outdated thoughts like yours.
