If white privilege never graced the entire continent, what would it look like today ?

Whitey never bothered to what?
The question is ignorant, and not innocent. |
|
|
It would probably be the same way it was before white people ever showed up.

It's an interesting question. Probably, Sub-Saharan Africa would look precisely the way It did in 1005 AD, and 0005 AD, and 100 BC and 1000 BC and 5000 BC, and 50,000 BC.
They hadn't invented Steel, or Iron, or even the "Cart". It was literally a Stone Age society. The Zulus were a fairly new culture though, so maybe they would have invented something after slaughtering and enslaving the less organized tribes. |

PNG or areas of South America that are kept off limits for the stone age tribes to continue being stone age.
|

History is a bit more complex than that. Human migration to and from Africa is fairly vast.

North Africa would be just as fucked as it is today due to Arab influences. Sub Saharan Africa would be just as fucked as it is today due to Sub Saharan Africans. South Africa I’m not so sure about.

This assuming no external person would have ever visited and taken modern artifacts to give or sell or they would have not established any commerce with anyone outside the continent?
The countries would probably have the borders set by the tribes' dominions instead of the artificial borders designed to keep enemy tribes within the same space, thus fighting each other. Wars would likely happen but not so frequently because they would not be artificially created. The way the tribes were "investing in technology" they would likely still be in their preliminary stages of hunter-gatherers. Also, if we assume that Romans were also considered "whites" and had never set any colonies, conquered Egypt, etc. Egypt might be still a local super-power. ETA: I wonder what Egyptians might have came up with. |

They would still be fighting with spears and living in the dirt.
|

I think a better question would be whay would it look like if whitey took over the place and ran it
|
|
|
|
Like it did in 1500 A.D.
Basically, no firearms or machetes. |

So excluding the use of Russian made weapons and the like, it would be interesting to see if there would be as many deaths from traditional tribal warfare.
Also all the fucked up medical issues wouldn't be world wide, would it kill more people then tribal wars? Who knows. It's a very interesting question and I'd love to see someone smarter then me figure out what it would be like Would it be like the great movie " the gods must be crazy" What would we not have in the western world that we use daily thanks to African minerals or inventions, would we still have some of the great British hunting calibers ? Sure we would have some due to the brits in india but what about others |

The Chinese would have moved in and wiped every tribe off the map. It's all about the resources.
|
|
Don't know. But can we ship all the liberals there? They're bound to improve it.
|
|
|
So they would be on par with the Americas in the same situation?

Very much this! Modern medicine (developed by whittie) has enabled many to survive when millions would have otherwise perished. Hell, the AIDS outbreak would have wiped out most of them alone. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

She was white too. |

View Quote Interesting article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_metallurgy_in_Africa Africans had iron for some time. It isn't known if they independently invented it. Research into this question seems compromised (which isn't surprising). |

Right so this is more of a black people suck thread than in intellectual discussion right?

If he's going to mention Egypt and Carthage, I'm going to laugh my ass off, because there is a STARK difference between Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Wars would likely happen but not so frequently because they would not be artificially created. If a large powerful group formed it would likely engage in conquest. There is no reason to believe wars would be less frequent. Quoted:

ETA: I wonder what Egyptians might have came up with. Roman involvement was much more distant in time, consequently it is hard to see its effects. But the absence of Roman power allowed Arab Muslim expansion. |
