How did Imperialism affect Africa and Africans?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why didnt you just say so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Many African civilizations rivaled Europeans during the middle Age and many African civilizations were actually more advanced thousands of years ago, but many people are under the impression that Africans were all living in mud huts and never managed to accomplish anything - no architecture, inventions, anything - throughout history. Why is it that most Americans believe this? Because of European Imperialism, colonization, slavery and scientific racism. There were MANY glorious African civilizations before Europeans colonized Africa, but in order to justify slavery, whites claimed that blacks were just savages who were incapable of self governing. They claimed that slavery was actually in our best benefit, because life as a slave was better than what we'd have in Africa. This was completely untrue.
