And Britain would have been a first class distance running power with gold medals in everything 5K and up since 2012...
imagine that
Actually, if Kenya was part of the UK then they would have no marathon runners under 2:07-2:08. They would be forced to take a number of OOC tests which would prevent the current easy doping craziness.

no you suck down the benefits of evil whitey, then complain and go on racists rants. to me its just like the annoying tree hugging morans. they rant about how humans are killing the earth while posting on their newst iphone19, without the slightest thought about the rare earth metals in their pretentious f*cking phones and how toxic it is to mine for those said metals. they drive their electric cars with a spoiled brat attitude not realizing how damaging it is to mine for lithium for those batteries, or how its COAL power plants that give their cars electricity. if they truly cared they would WALK, get off all electronics and live like a cave man.
same with you, if you hate whitey SO much, then stop using evil whiteys inventions. go back to your true kenyan roots and live in your straw hut. oh wait you cant do that, you like to b*tch and be a hypocrite isnt that right?
I thought this thread was about analyzing if Brits would have pulled black Kenyans for Kenya for G.B. if Kenya were still a colony? You feel this thread was meant for you to rant about your dislike for black Kenyans and rant about your dislike for black Africans.

The French policy was to harvest anyone who showed any discernible talent by 'rewarding' them with French citizenship, moving them to France and paying them a wage. That orchestrated drain is the reason why French-speaking parts of Africa are in much worse shape than the English-speaking parts.
Didn't the U.S. recently import some Kenyan distance runners?
I remember after the Brexit vote and immediately after the Rio Olympics, some slimey EU politician published a medal table comparing the combined EU to the GB tally.
In return, a British MP tweeted an alternative medal tally showing that GB and the Commonwealth together won more medals than the rest of the world (less EU) combined, and way more than the EU combined.
The only way Kenya would have stayed a British colony is if World War Two had never happened, and the world had gone on more or less as before the 1940s.
So in this alternative history, Europe (inc. GB) would likely have at least twice the size of its current population, Germany maybe more than that. If the Soviet Union did not fall apart (although I guess it probably still would, maybe sooner), it might have a population of at least 600 million. In any case, even an independent Russia would have a population of 300 million and the Ukraine maybe over 100 million (compared to 150 million/50 million today).
More debatable, you could put forward the argument that today's Europeans aren't as of the same athletic stock as the generations before the second world war, especially countries like Germany and Poland which lost nearly all their strongest and fittest males in fighting (one obvious example is Rudolf Harbig).
So whatever the athletics history of Kenya as a GB colony into the 21st century (and Africa surely wouldn't have had the massive population explosion of the last decades), we could be sure that the top Europeans would be much stronger at every sport, including athletics.
Residents of the colonies were subjects, not citizens.
G.B. is not putting the empire back together. U.S. is barely hanging on. Many U.S.tax payers are sick of spending tax dollars on a military the U.S. no longer can afford. U.S. now is forced to kiss butt to China because China buys so many U.S. T-Notes, U.S. T-Bills and U.S. T-Bonds. Rome could not afford to keep their empire. Spain could not afford to keep their empire. Soviets could not keep their empire. G.B. will never rule an empire again.

No, not all. What sort of a figure would you put on it?
what if the UK still owned India?
would those mfs have a medal yet? 1B+ people and not one medal that I can ever recall in like any event ever.
Yeah well, they don't have cricket at the Olympics, YET!!!

"The British had sought to quell the Mau Mau uprising by instituting a policy of mass detention. This system – “Britain’s gulag”, as Elkins called it – had affected far more people than previously understood. She calculated that the camps had held not 80,000 detainees, as official figures stated, but between 160,000 and 320,000. She also came to understand that colonial authorities had herded Kikuyu women and children into some 800 enclosed villages dispersed across the countryside. These heavily patrolled villages – cordoned off by barbed wire, spiked trenches and watchtowers – amounted to another form of detention. In camps, villages and other outposts, the Kikuyu suffered forced labour, disease, starvation, torture, rape and murder.
“I’ve come to believe that during the Mau Mau war British forces wielded their authority with a savagery that betrayed a perverse colonial logic,” Elkins wrote in Britain’s Gulag. “Only by detaining nearly the entire Kikuyu population of 1.5 million people and physically and psychologically atomising its men, women, and children could colonial authority be restored and the civilising mission reinstated.” After nearly a decade of oral and archival research, she had uncovered “a murderous campaign to eliminate Kikuyu people, a campaign that left tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, dead”.

Worst period in Kenya's history. A thieving, genocidal people, the British. Barack Obama's grandfather worked as a cook for them. He converted from Christianity to Islam out of disgust.
And what did Jomo Kenyatta do to the Mau Mau because he saw them as a potent political threat to his nationalist government?

The gist of your post O.P: When blacks are in positions of leadership, blacks are imperfect leaders, thus British colonialists were great & good.
