Right.
Because hundreds of years of Europeans stealing their resources had absolutely no effect on their economies.
They didn't just steal their resources. The oppressed and subjugated the people for centuries. They decimated their cultures, destroyed their tribal boundaries, wiped out their sense of self and their dignity, took away their religion and their identity, killed millions of them, and more. For about 300 years on average. We will never, ever know what Africa could have or would have become had they been left alone to evolve on their own.
Pure communist propaganda.
Most of the damage that has taken place in Africa is because of feuds between tribes and the spread of Islam along with a great deal of ethnic and religious cleansing. Poverty, disease, warlords running amok. Deforestation. Famine. Lack of employment. That is what isdestroying Africa.
You obviously know nothing about European colonization of Africa. You have clearly not made any study of this area of history nor done any serious reading about it. You are dealing with people who know, and you can't just post a lot of bullshit ideas and make any headway. Your statement is completely wrong.
