Europeans Footprint on Africa

I think this image is expressing the impact the Europeans made on Africa. I can make this inference because of the visual elements. One bold visual element is the white on black. This says to me that the white footprint is the Europeans mark on Africa while the black represents "The Dark Continent" also known as Africa. I can't truly tell from this image whether or not the cartoonist agrees with the Europeans mark in Africa or not. This is because the cartoonist might see the cartoon with a positive side such as, the footprint the Europeans made was a good thing because it brought civilization. On the other hand the cartoonist might not agree with the image and might think, the footprint the Europeans made on Africa was horrible because they enslaved them and tried to bring together tribes that had never got along which caused many wars. I think the cartoonist should have added something to the cartoon that would make it either look like the cartoonist agreed or disagreed with what the Europeans did. They could have done this by adding an image of a slave for the negative side or if they thought it was good that could of had a picture of a fat European guy with lots of money and wealth.
