Henry Morton Stanley's Next Great Career Move Would Be to Kill Half the People in Central Africa

Giel: Stanley considered Africa to be an unpeepled country and his dream was very clearly to see it colonized with white folks, just like North America. He didn't want all the black people killed, but he kind of assumed that a lot of them would die out during the spread of white people in Africa. Giel: When they start to wane, you got to whip them back into shape. That's not racist to whip. A lot of not racist people whip only one specific type of person. They are lucky to be whipped when all of his white counterparts were eaten by fire ants and died in quicksand.
