Pre-colonialism differences in development are more reflective of geography and other such material conditions, not inherent differences in intelligence. In the Americas, the lack of draught animals is one such factor which held native American tribes back from further development.
This isn't a Marxist video, but it goes over how Africa's geography has held it back from development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8m95sCDEf0
And the conditions of Europe incentivized the production of new technologies to deal with the adverse conditions of winter and so forth. Africans aren't doomed to live a hunter-gatherer life without outside interference.
Colonialism is not, nor has it ever been philanthropy. The infrastructure and railroads which the British built in Africa was for the purpose of facilitating the extraction of resources and wealth, not for the people of Africa.
The "philanthropy" is also to keep Africa dependent and whenever Africans overthrow their corrupt comprador regimes to stand up on their own feet the Western Imperialist powers can just withdraw aid. They don't want them to be independent and will destabilize their countries through sanctions, embargo, withdrawing aid, sabotage, assassinations, coups, etc. The "philanthropy" isn't philanthropy, it has strings attached and its purpose is to sabotage any attempts to achieve independence. The narrative that we're just showering third world countries with money and they squander it all is just racism.
