→Misuse of the Term
Anti-American sentiment and [[liberals]] in general commonly deride American [[foreign policy]] as colonial or imperial, which is [[deceit]]ful, as the [[United States]] has no colonies (having relinquished the Philippines, which had previously been Spanish, not sovereign), made [[Hawaii]] a state, smaller lands ([[Guam]], etc...) [[protectorate]]s, and purchased or legally acquired other territories ([[Guantanamo]], [[Panama Canal]]). Similarly, liberals also generally imply with colonialism that it was generally parasitic to the original people and stealing resources, when that is actually rare among colonialization.

===Common myths===
There are many common myths and misconceptions associated with the term. Texts generally claim European people's established foreign colonies because of "overcrowding," and imposed their administrative laws in native people's. In reality, colonialism was an expansion of trade intended to develop markets for European manufactured goods. Colonies were typically established among tribal people, often dominated by warlords, where laws varied in the same region from tribe to tribe. Natives often welcomed European administration and courts, which brought a more uniform system of justice and prosperity.
South Africa is s prime example. During the Apartheid period it was said South Africa's native blacks were an oporessed majority. South Africa's majority blacks are not native to South Africa - they are the descendents of [[economic migrant]]s who came to South Africa to participate in the economic development white Europeans brought to South Africa. Whites also brought a more just administration of laws than migratory blacks found among their native tribes send regions.
During the [[Cold War]]. South Africa was a ripe targrt for [[Kremlin]]-directed [[Marxist]] [[propaganda]]. While the [[Soviet Union]], [[Marxist]] [[hate speech]] and [[lies]] live on in the ruling South African socialist regime today, driven by racial animus and [[political correctness]] to a hatred for [[Western Civilization]].
