Pros and cons of Colonialism?

Pros and cons of Colonialism?
I know in History classes around this great nation of ours, it is standard procedure to teach that European Colonialism of Africa was "bad."

But was it really all bad?

Yes there was some bad things, but why is it that the benefits of European colonialism are never discussed?

There were benefits, it just is un-pc to point them out.

1. Technology:There was much technological advancement. Things like medicine, machinery, and books  were brought to Africa. Before Europeans came those Africans were pretty much like the ewoks from star wars in terms of technology.

2.Education: The Europeans through their many churches and charitable organizations tought the Africans to read and write. They opened their minds to such possibilities!

3. Government: This one only really applies to the True Christian British (as opposed to the pagan Portuguese and French) but those dark dark children of Africa were introduced democracy!

4. Language: Have you ever listened to the "language" they speak in Africa? It is so frightening! It is a bunch of nonsensical, babbling gibberish! I sometimes can't tell if it is people speaking or just a bunch of grunting and babbling baboons! After thousands of years speaking their "languages" they got the opprotunity to speak good, normal languages. English, the language of our founding fathers and the King James Bible espeically!

There were also significant technological advances made in Russia during the time of the Soviet Union, particularly the building of railroads and the installation of electric power, including to rural areas.  However, these advances came at a high cost.  Millions of Russians were worked to death in forced forestry labor, for example.
