Paternalism- belief that they were to look over and take care of the Africans and imperialism because European thought they were better than the africans
Europeans believed they were superior to Africans due to their Eurocentric worldview, which considered European culture, technology, and society as more advanced. This belief was also reinforced by the European colonial mindset that justified exploiting African resources and labor. The legacy of colonialism and racism also played a significant role in perpetuating this belief of superiority.
The poem "Africa" by David Diop explores the historical experiences of Africans being colonized and enslaved by European powers, leading to the belief that Africans were inferior. This perception of being looked down upon is rooted in the long history of oppression and racism that Africans have faced.

European colonists used Africans for labor due to their physical resilience, knowledge of agriculture, and perceived ability to withstand tropical climates. Additionally, the African slave trade provided a large and cheap workforce that could be exploited for economic gain in industries such as mining, plantation agriculture, and domestic service. The belief in the superiority of Europeans over Africans also played a significant role in justifying the use of African slaves as a labor force.
Africans were used as slaves due to the demand for labor in European colonies, coupled with the belief that Africans were inferior beings, leading to the transatlantic slave trade. Economic interests and the desire for free labor also played a significant role in the widespread use of African slaves.
The animistic belief system of traditional West Africans reveals their close connection to nature, their belief in spirits inhabiting natural elements, and their holistic view of the world where everything is interconnected and has spiritual significance. This belief system influences their customs, rituals, and relationships with the environment and community.
