We did horrible things there for sure.
This post is about denialism/minimalisation. Most Belgians admit how fucked up the treatment of the Congolese people was.
Some of us blame it on our king at that time, since those colonies were technically his "property".
But it definitely is a Belgian atrocity in which we all played parts.
