How could one argue this second viewpoint,and do you agree that the benefits brought by Europeans outweighed the negative effects?

European colonialism is often depicted as a force of greed that exploited the African people for financial gain; however, some have also argued that colonialism served a moral purpose and was mutually beneficial to both parties.

How could one argue this second viewpoint,and do you agree that the benefits brought by Europeans outweighed the negative effects? Why or why not? What would you propose be done for Africans to overcome any negative effect of European colonialism? Should they receive some kind of reparations for having had to suffer colonialism? (Make sure that you address ALL these questions MAKING REFERENCES TO THE COURSE MATERIALS; NO OUTSIDE RESEARCH IS NEEDED).
