The other way around is also true. Modern citizens of ex-colonial powers use existing corruption in ex-colonies as proof of how effective colonialism was.

It’s the “racism” excuse on a nationwide scale.

Funny that considering modern rulers are were the colonisers and still are!

It's a catchall for failure to exploit what they were given in terms of institutions, infrastructure and other benefits of western civ. You can see the backsliding in South Africa.

Right on again!

Until now. It's awakening time!

You know what? was never what it is today either. Victorian London was full of horse dung on roads, river Thames was a dirty river. There were other problems too. The state murdered a gem called Alan Turing. Imperial British was not what today's Britain is.

. Absolutely on point. Colonialism is a crutch for these modern rulers. @ShashiTharoor

So sad, so true.

Democrat politicians use long-past institutional racism as a convenient scapegoat to cover their own corruption and inefficiency.

*see slavery in America

Modern white supremacists use current problem as a convinient scapegoat to cover thier ancestor's brutality & looting spree around the globe in the past. Apologists of colonialism fall for it every single time.https://twitter.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1154289665953939457?s=19 …
