100% guarantee it's his "letterbox" comment!
"Picanninies with their watermelon smiles "...

“The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.”
Yyyyeah gonna say that first one is not the greatest.....



Now the second one....that I believe is up for interpretation. Inartfully phrased of course as Boris is wont to do...but under colonization (horrible as it was) there were SOME mutually beneficial things albeit those didn't outweigh the horrors of say King Leopold II's Belgian Congo...but due to colonization you got Gandhi, economies improved, spread of technologies to help with production and agriculture. Now with China and Russia colonizing Africa we'll see how that goes, I'm going to guess like most things those nations do it'll end poorly and i hate it for the people of that continent.




Africa is quite the quandary for me, what kind of Africa do Africans want to see? What kind of Africa does the world want to see? Do we want to see the future or do we want to see our past? Do we want to move forward or return to past greatness? Will there be more advanced cities or more rural areas and giant preserves of their amazing flora and fauna?


I think Boris is a bit of a bull in a china shop, he's seemingly a funnier British version of Joe Biden just constantly suffering from having his foot firmly placed in his mouth.
