Seriously? It isnt black and white like your portraying it. Oh, oops, that saying might be construed by you as racist. We deal with facts here, history should be looked at impartially and scientifically. There is no room for emotions or feelings of being hurt or "my civilization is as good as yours". Cannibalism, in any form, is not something you want to encourage, but neither is the Inquisition, or blood libel, or Holocaust. Europe and Africa have had different problems and continue to. People can praise the good that came to Africa at the same time as denouncing the bad that came. You can't defend cannibalism any more than anyone can defend working someone to death in a diamond mine. And seriously statehood and modernization is not a matter of "if we left these people alone without European contact for an extra thousand years they would have invented the steam engine and democracy!" It doesn't work that way.
