      The joke is that we all come from Africa so they colonized the whole Earth, no ?

      Not really despite having been invaded from north africa the spanish caliphate gained its independence after the fall of the Oumayads . then divided into smaller independent Emirates until the Spanish conquest.

        Brazil was also independent after Portuguese royalty moved in and declared it a kingdom. It’s still considered colony.

    I do love a good jape from time to time, but colonization is when you show up and expel/enslave/imprison the people who are already there, which is decidedly not how the spread of people from Africa worked

      That’s literally not what colonization means. I also promise that most human history is bloody even if you don’t know about it. Humans spread out from Africa across the world. My slightly related to me ancestors conquered subjugated and killed their slightly related ancestors. We’re all one race.
