Africa you say? Same Africa which was ravaged on several occasions by the Europeans till it reached the present day nadir? What about the millions whipped out by the famines due to the incompetence, racism, and indifference of the British? Or they don't count? Part of the European savagery was the fact that they completely dehumanised their enemies/ victims so they simply didn't count. I suspect religion really did help here to whitewash conscience century after century.
