    a lot of "nigerians" that type exactly like white male american teenagers in those comments who seem to be solely concerned with downplaying the damage of colonialism! weird!

      They could be very online Nigerians. Seems like any non-American that speaks English fluently and spends a lot of time online end up sounding like Americans.

        People in the global south who know english and have reliable internet are typically people who benefit from the current colonial order. No different than someone who grew up in a gated community in the south saying that the founding fathers were good

          Pretty much, and they get the American twang from drowning themselves in US culture. I know too many people who hate the country and talk about leaving while consuming American culture all the time with the hope that they can easily immigrate there one day.

            West idolizers operates under the delusion that they will be considered one of the "good ones", unlike the immigrants they see on the news or the already existing minorities in western countries.

              Tell me about it. All the "I immigrated the RIGHT WAY" people also admit that their friends still make illegal immigrant jokes to them that they of course laugh off.
