The western powers were all, at some point in time at multiple levels terrible to their colonies. They also took the right of these people to self-determination. Most western powers continue to economically dominate the third world countries and the relegation of the third world countries to the economic periphery of the worldsystem has kept these countries from developing, it has not aided them to do so.

Just wondering, since you believe in self-determination, would it be okay if white people set up explicitly white countries? And since Western powers are still economically dominating the Third World, should we just end international trade with the Third World to end the domination?

A nation does not need to be made up of only one color, nor do a certain people have to have one color, that's a very odd concept of self-determination you have. These people could not in any way, shape or form represent themselves or chose representatives as it was denied them.

Of course we do not need to end international trade, but many free trade practices ensure our economic domination over these countries. Can a small scale african farmer compete with industrial rice growers in California? No, the american import rice is much cheaper. Result? These farmers can hardly sell their surplus to the market. No surplus = no investment = no growth.

That and water based agriculture in many parts of California is just stupid, but it makes money, so hey.
