I suppose the crux of the matter is whether, on average, the "typical" African is better off or worse off as a result of western interference. My guess is that he is better off. Certainly the crumbs did not fall evenly. And there might be a few who are actually worse off, but on average, I believe the colonial powers improved the lot of most Africans even if that was not their intention. Love y'all, Grampa Bill
