Belgians in the Congo

A reporter for Time Magazine apparently has found the one black guy who misses whitey ("Come Back, Colonialism, All is Forgiven"):
Le Blanc and I are into our 500th kilometer on the river when he turns my view of modern African history on its head. "We should just give it all back to the whites," the riverboat captain says. "Even if you go 1,000 kilometers down this river, you won't see a single sign of development. When the whites left, we didn't just stay where we were. We went backwards."
Now that's myopia for you! Assign in conjunction with HoD.
