You just reminded me of a part in the movie where they talked about Mansa Musa of the Mali empire and Moctezuma I of the Aztec empire being the same person, despite the fact that they lived at least 61 years apart!!!!! And people lap it up.

.......*slams head against wall*.


Whoa... Didn't see that part in the movie!!! shocked shocked shocked

The thing I really hate about stuff like Hidden Colors is Eurocentrics can now use it as a scapegoat against us conscious blacks and TRUE Africanist to deflate our arguments. They do it all the time, especially the times I engaged Eurocentrics in arguments. As a black person they automatically assume my argument is made up of fairy tales that shouldn't be taken seriously.

But they soon lose that thinking with I should them bone hard peer viewed evidence...

Exactly that's basically what it comes down to, at the end of the day- Who's sources are accredited either by being primary data or peer-reviewed secondary data. And eurocentrics hardly have room to talk with their race theories and appropriation of ancient Aryan cutlure and symbols from non-european people, used to create some "faux-aryan race".

Also, there was a part in Hidden Colors where Phil valentine tries to say that the "Big Ben" clock in London was named after Benjamin Banneker. lol

@RandomAfricanAm

Still waiting for the PM. Just letting you know. smiley


Ok I've sent it. It's one huge data dump. I have to put it all in order and also read over a lot of it to make sure the sources actually support what it is I'm saying. Nothing worse then writing something that your very own sources contradict.

shocked cool
