The late, great Miriam Makeba ”Mama Africa” (1932-2008)

@ChipmunkErnie I think she made her perspective pretty clear, based on her life experiences under apartheid in South Africa.

@bijouxbroussard Yes, but I was responding to the post's headline and the general current view that seems to be only white European nations indulged in conquest and colonialism, not to her video. ;)

@ChipmunkErnie I posted it under the category of Africa, with comments by Miriam Makeba rather than the topic of general history.

@bijouxbroussard Okay, so how about African empires that conquered other African peoples and enslaves and colonized them?

@ChipmunkErnie I suppose that would be more comparable to conflicts between the English, the Scots and the Irish. But again, this post is about the late Miriam Makeba’s thoughts.
