"White racist notions are so deep-rooted
within capitalist society that the failure of
African agriculture to advance was put down
to the inherent inferiority of the African. It
would be much truer to say that it was due to
the white intruders, although the basic explanation
is to be found not in the personal ill-will
of the colonialists or in their racial origin, but
rather in the organized viciousness of the capitalist/
colonialist system."

Walter Rodney, How Europe Undeveloped Africa (via wisdomforthemasses)
“Failure of African agriculture to advance?” Where did it fail to advance? In South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Kenya yields went through the roof. Considering that those were settler colonies, it seems strange to blame colonial whites for agricultural failings.
