So basically whitey does what he wants and dare anyone to contest his mythical assertions, even when they are harmful to the rest of the world’s people, which is usually the case.
There is a documentary about colonial days I watched a while back, I can’t remember the title of it, but it was narrated by Lauren Hill. The documentary highlighted couple of incidents in different villages on the continent, where the Portuguese ended up. There is this one particular scene on the documentary where the potgeez tried to impose their ways on the indigenous people of the village; however, the Africans in that village did not take the situation too lightly. The Africans got frustrated by these foreigners who were trying to tell them what to do, and in the process, refused to comply to the impositions of the potgeez, all together. By doing so, the Portuguese stooped to what they knew/know best and start killing the people in the village. Being aware of the fact that returning the favor was the only natural reaction to stop the Portuguese’s aggression, the villagers started killing their men in return. Not long after the Portuguese started witnessing their fellow men dropping like flies, they packed their belongings and everything else that they had stolen and went back to where they came from. This incident connotes whitey as that one school bully, who goes around beating every kid on site, until he meets his match who would give him an everlasting dose of his own medicine for him to stop doing what he is doing.

Sounds like Senegambia where they were repulsed by the remnants of the Songhay empire. I’d be interested in that documentary if you come across it again.
