I det 19. århundrede erobrede England og andre europæiske lande meget store dele af verden. Dette engelske verdensrige blev styret fra London. Politisk retfærdiggjorde man det hvide herredømme med, at koloniernes befolkning var mindre udviklet og derfor havde fordele af at blive styret af en hvid, kristen og civiliseret magt. De indfødte var jo som børn, og den hvide faders ansvar var derfor at klare livets problemer for dem. Kipling kaldte det ”Den hvide mands byrde” i sit berømte digt.
For 50 år siden begyndte disse kolonier at kræve deres uafhængighed og omkring 1960 var de fleste af verdens tidligere kolonier frie stater med uafhængige regeringer, også Nigeria. Man må dog med Orwells ord, fra Animal Farm, sige, at ”nogle er mere lige and andre”. Også de racistiske ideer lever videre i bedste velgående. Lige børn leger bedst sagde man i gamle dage, men tilsyneladende tænker mange stadig sådan i det 21. århundrede.

In the 19 century England and other European countries conquered very large parts of the world. This English empire was controlled from London. Political they justified the white control with the colonies' population was less developed and therefore had advantages of being controlled by a white Christian and civilized power. The natives were like children, and the white father's responsibility was therefore to take care of life's problems for them. Kipling called that "The white mans Burden" in his famous poem.
50 years ago these colonies started to demand for their independence and round 1960 were most of the world's earlier colonies free states with independent governments and Nigeria too.
You must however with Orwell's word, Animal Farm, say that "some people are more equal than others". Also the racist ideas live further strong. Equal children play best they said in the old days but apparently many still thinks like that in the 21 century.
