Well, the bad parts were the rule in the Congo and the Germans in South West Africa.
For the most part, the Europeans brought stability and prosperity.

A child however is under the custody of his parents and better off for it.
A childlike people is better off under a benevolent, capable ruler. Democracy is a bad idea if the people are generally very retarded.
For example, democracy in Europe would have been a very bad idea during the Middle Ages.
The colonization of Africa was a matter of bringing civilization to the people of Africa. Aborting this mission prematurely is the cause of many of the terrors that plague Africa to this present day.
