Shame - you poor poor thing.
Hope you feel better soon.

You better believe it.

But you are of course not ignorant.

Are you serious, or sarcastic, or just plain stupid.
Are you perhaps saying that everyone should always share everything equally with everyone else?
All employees (workers) of all industries should earn the exact same pay, and own the exact same things, including all the owners?

It would help if your posts were less ambiguous.

Yeah - perhaps.

Let's have a look at our history it would be generally accepted and argued that if it weren't for colonization like africa, the Americas even Australia for that matter the folks wearing their leotard pajamas, with leader shields and long spears would probably still be living in mud huts and go about their nomadic ways if it weren't, for them white folks.

To be clear white folks them self at some point or another lived in huts and were nomadic before settlements, farming and other modern marvels became a thing, that we graciously shared with the savages as they were called back in the day.That working assumption is completely flawed and completely stupid and shows how ignorant people actually are.

Africa and other countries that were colonized would have developed much like any other culture out there it has been well established that some on the east coast of africa like Zanzibar had reached out and established trading. African art was well established, language was well established, development of tools as well as the establishment of, chiefdoms, kingdoms and culture and skills exchanges taking place between various tribes.

While the pace of development in general was well on its way, but behind westerners without colonization it would have reached out to others countries, for trading, and would have developed quite well on its own.Southern coast and part of the western coast were mostly isolated.It was only when seafaring become common place and introduction to western culture that isolation ended in some areas.

It is not to say that these areas would not have become seafaring them self and establish trading and a exchange of skills and knowledge taken place.It is a pretty ignorant assumption to assume we did africa a massive favor by colonisation of africa.Africa as an example was well on their way to development of a modern society, before western influence.

Colonization served one purpose and one purpose only exploitation for western interest.There isn't a single case you can point to were colonization took place to the benefit of the inhabitants, resources, people and most of all land was exploited , conquered and carried away bit by bit to the west.German mined diamond on the west coast, resources like diamonds in Kimberly and gold in Transvaal by the overlords at the time.Were is all of this wealth. ?

From the onset of colonization the inhabitants stood zero chance against their western exploiters, they had zero opportunity to gain wealth whatsoever, any wealth there was, was carried off for crown and country.So no , blacks were never afforded the same opportunity, with regards to education, relegated to unskilled labor, relegated to poor housing, and any other opportunity you would find was afforded to the western exploiters.So when you have little wealth to start with and denied building of wealth, that isn't equal nor fair.

So no iam neither stupid nor ignorant.Western countries become rich by exploiting others, or perhaps a difficult concept to grasp.Persian, Greeks ottoman empire, even romans did exactly the same thing.Let's not forget the general history of the British isles, Scandinavians, and Germanic barbarians.
History is littered with examples of conquering, enslavement and exploitation even in western culture long before modern societal developments and science and technology advancements came about.Their general development was far easier due to close proximity, which made development, of skills, education, sciences and trade a lot easier.

East coast of Africa would have generally have developed far better then the somewhat isolated west coast and south coast being the slowest in general

Lol like I said zero idea.How do you benefit every one, not the few like we are currently doing. Honestly it isn't an easy fix, have zero idea where to start, and what the end goal would look like.The divide is vast, and the more you try fixing the broken system the more unlikely for any semblance of recovering.I don't see it happening in my lifetime if ever at all.But we seem to head in the direction of being equally poor and starving.

What about these guys. They were just "businessman" after all. Do they need to ask for absolution as well.

My great-grandfather, Nwaubani Ogogo Oriaku, was what I prefer to call a businessman, from the Igbo ethnic group of south-eastern Nigeria. He dealt in a number of goods, including tobacco and palm produce. He also sold human beings.

'My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves'

The legacies of colonial slave-traders are being reassessed, but what about the Africans who profited?

That the distance more or less from V&A Waterfront to Bloubergstrand
Less than Pta to Midrand, or JHB to Midrand.

That's one hell of a trek

To put it simple if you are part of a race that in any way or form hampered another's ability to build wealth or same opportunity, then you are privileged.

Hey clownface, 2019 called they want their name calling back. You misunderstand, not no idea, as in I don't have an opinion on the matter, much like you are entitled to have an opinion.There is actually no quick and easy fix to problem. How do you address the socio-economical divide. 10% who are rich 35% middle class and more then 50% that live in poverty. The divide hasn't actually changed much if at all since apartheid.You think moving to the middle of nowhere, you could move away from the left wing and right wing nutters, but look here you are.
