I know, right? Like those "New World" American colonies.
Comparing the colonialization of North America to that of the African continent is faulty by default. When North America was colonized the ingiginous people was all but eradicated. When Africa was colonized, boarders were made where none had ever existed - down through tripes, gathering some and spreading others. Just looking at a map of Africa you will clearly see the unnatural borderdesign.

Colonialism makes a nice "White Man's fault" excuse. Yet, I'd have to say that we really don't have a lot of examples that do anything but contradict that stance.
First example: When the "White Man", as you gently put it, forced the Rwandan population into two imaginary tripes (from measuring the width of their noses) having the one tripe rule over the other for decades I do believe that some blame is to be put on the western society.

And how does it view attempts at Western aid to its woes? They seriously believe we've sent them condoms poisoned with AIDS to kill them all off (on a good day - On bad days, they accuse us of witchcraft).
This is just tabloid BS. From my time working with development aid in Uganda and Tanzania I have never herd but Western media speak of these blames. The are nothing more then the spin of a few local fairytale made up in despair of seeing the world fall apart. Frankly, your points of view are border-lining racism at best.
