NATIONS that have been former colonies of Britain are for the most part dissociated from those that have been former colonies of other European countries like Spain, Portugal and France.
This has been caused by differences in colonial languages and also exclusive organisations such as the Commonwealth which ensure that former British colonies associate with other former British colonies and the same is true of French colonies.
This is a plot to divide Africans and Asians in accordance with colonial borders that were drawn up by imperialistic nations.
These divisions make it easy for the imperialists to conquer us, yet blacks from all over share the same experience of colonisation and slavery.
Since about 400 BC, whites, beginning with the Greeks, have been trying to dominate the earth and its indigenous people.
The Greeks conqured the Persian Empire which was ruling over the known world including Africa.
The black civilisations of the Egyptians and Hebrews were squashed and their knowledge and technology plundered by the Greeks.
Greeks were succeeded by the Romans and then the Byzantine Empire which comprised Greeks and Romans.
The blacks retained power during the Moorish period, but were overtaken by the Spanish who took advantage of their access to Moorish education on navigation and other things.
The Portuguese followed after the Spanish, then the Dutch and the English respectively.
Once Britain began making world expeditions, the French also joined in.
The French, as Catholics, were competing with England since the 1600s when England became protestant – Anglican.
The French have been as infamous as the British in colonising indigenous peoples of Africa and Asia.
They act as rivals to the British yet they are kinsmen from the Barbarian tribes that emerged from Germany and entered the known world around 400 CE.
French hostility towards blacks can be traced back to the crusades period.
The French were known as Franks during their crusades against the black Muslims of Jerusalem, beginning around 1000 CE.
They were so much involved in fighting the blacks that all the Crusaders who fought on behalf of the Roman Catholic Pope Urbin were collectively termed Franks, when some of them were actually Anglo-Saxons (English) and so on.
The French, like the rest of the Barbarian tribes, were unsophisticated, illiterate, poor and malnourished.
They were holistically Catholic like the rest of the Barbarians and their only worldview was from the Pope.
This condition came about as a settlement between Romans and Barbarians after the latter’s coming to the region of southern Europe destabilised the Roman Empire.
The Barbarians killed men, women and children and ate their flesh after roasting it. They destroyed infrastructure and technology they did not understand.
In this way, the Caucasian whites entered the places they now inhabit from further north.
The Romans made all the Barbarians become Catholics and the Pope became their leader.
The French, in particular, were overly Catholic and would undertake some religious and military expeditions on behalf of the Pope since as far back as 500 years before the crusades began.
For this reason, the French inherited a keen interest in Africa and Asia, the places that the Roman Empire was chased away from after the advent of the Moors in the 700s CE.
Southern France was also under the control of the Moors along with Spain for almost 800 years.
While attacking and pillaging the blacks of Asia in places like Jerusalem, Syria and Turkey, the Barbarians became exposed to sophistication, culture, spices, technology and other things that they lacked.
The French adored the black Syrians, especially for their chivalry which they would imitate.
Blacks were smooth-skinned and the whites hairy, so after being exposed to blades, the whites began shaving off their hair to look as smooth skinned as the Moors.
The original Barbarian was no different from the cave men with clubs that are portrayed by whites in films.
The etiquette of eating rationally and dividing a day’s food into meals such as breakfast, lunch and supper was unknown to the Barbarians who would eat whatever they could find because of food scarcity.
While the blacks of Asia and Africa were enjoying all sorts of rich foods from their fertile regions, the whites commonly ate rye bread and porridge.
This lacking of essential needs such as food and warmth has shaped the hostile character of northern Europeans for millennia.
Whites continue to fight for territory, food, fuel and other raw materials around the world.
The Barbarians, particularly the French, owe a lot to the blacks of Asia and Africa, yet they continue to suppress their descendants through colonisation.
French misbehaviour towards Asians and Africans in the modern period can be traced back to the 1700s.
This was the time before the pan-European wars that are inappropriately called ‘world wars’.
The likes of Napoleon Bonaparte strove for France to be a great Nation and imperial power at the cost of peace and stability in places like Egypt and Syria. Acting as rivals, the French would fight against other European countries for colonies.
In the Americas, the French victimised the blacks of places like Haiti who they colonised and enslaved until the time of their rebellion which was the most successful slave rebellion in the Americas.
Because they had lost their colonies of Haiti and also Louisiana in the Americas, the French concentrated their efforts on Africa, Asia and the islands around these rich continents.
France was also represented at the infamous Berlin Conference of 1884s which led to the European scramble for Africa.
West African nations like Senegal, Ivory Coast and so on were colonised in this period.
During the so-called First World War, France would compete against other European countries like Britain for colonies in the Middle-East.
France would take over countries like Algeria, Morocco and Lebanon after the fall of the Ottoman Empire which had ruled North Africa, Western Asia and Arabia since the 1500s.
France behaves as a rival to Britain, but becomes its ally when their colonial interests are threatened byoutsiders.
France also has close ties with Belgium which colonised the large land mass and people of Congo with the assistance of the French.
From this time onwards, France has laid colonial stake to numerous African and Asian nations; particularly those that were not colonised by Britain.
When independence and nationalism was being granted to colonies that were partaking in armed and unarmed liberation struggles in the 20th Century, France strengthened its rule over its colonies by way of granting ceremonial independence and selecting puppet leaders to maintain their interests in those countries.
This was especially true with the French colony of Ivory Coast and its first president, a puppet leader known as Felix Boigny.
Boigny was instrumental in maintaining French interests in the West African region and had a hand in ousting revolutionaries like Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso.
France has also gone a step further to not grant smaller and less known colonies any independence at all.
These countries are called French though they are not even in Europe and they are yet to experience independence, freedom and sovereignty.
