Q1. No, could have acknowledged or expanded on a point or two. You know he's selling out when he says '..it suggested that France was willing to press for a fairer trade deal for Africa...' ...so what, the unfair trade has nothing to do with Africa's economic enslavement?

Q2. Again No. especially the bit about '..because it has never existed." - he clearly has never visited the Louvre Museum in Paris housing all those Ancient African artifacts....or researched ancient West African Empires.
