White mans views

The white men really manipulated the Ibo people. When they first arrived, the British captured the attention of the villagers by showing them their religion and speaking in a different language. As the Ibo people started to understand, people started converting and joining the white mens religion and beliefs. Most of the white men were ignorant of the Ibo peoples beliefs and customs because all they want to do is colonize and spread religion. I think that the only reason that the British built schools and hospitals is to make the Ibo people accept what they are doing and to kind of bribe them into joining. Since there is this great ignorance of the beliefs, the white mens attitude towards the natives is not very friendly. They thought their way of life was stupid and should not be. The british also thought that the Ibo traditions and customs were weird and pointless, worshiping rocks and trees seemed so stupid to them. They thought the africans were savages because they were so uneducated and didn't have a modern society. The africans were just doing what they knew, and so what if it was different? The British weren't the judge of that.
