Let our minds be opened to the fact that us Africans were socially and technologically advanced before the invasions of the imperialist overlords.

If you haven't read Walter Rodney's classic, "How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" then you are on a very long thing. You are missing. Read and let your eyes be opened. When you do you will stop feeling inferior to other races (something which often times we subconsciously display by mimicking aspects of their cultures to the detriment of ours).

Wow! Thanks guy. Please how can I get the book?

WORLDPEACE:

You know the west always tries to explain any kind of development in black africa with the hamitic hypothesis. Now that there is no such resemblance here they have to go as far away as the incas; a people without iron technology before contact with the europeans.
I schooled in Ife and you can still see the potsherd pavements in certain areas buried under the ground exposed by erosion. having been thought about it in a history class, it brought tears to my eyes when i stumbled on it in front of my house. tradition has it that it was constructed by the only female ooni in Ife history.

Hmm. I school in Ife and apparently I was too self-absorbed that I never heard about this. I will look more into this.

UrbanMystique:
right , you believe jesus was superior because jesus was part of your race or because those that enslaved your race for many years said jesus power was a super power over the god of your own race... keep deluding yourself.

guyX:

All this talk about race. You sound Like a babalawo. except you use laptop for divination.
And my Lord Jesus is not described as 'was' but as the 'I am that I am'.
He is infinite and has no beginning or end.
Tell me, can you boast about your so called gods like this?

Funjosh:
How did we now lost all these history

UrbanMystique:
your god is nothing but a piece of man made garbage. take that to the bank while you delude yourself more.

What is the big deal in Yoruba being spoken in American movies? Many times when American movies cast a role for an "African" of ambiguous origin, it is filled by a Yoruba who of course speaks his vernacular (and of course they never bother to check the accuracy of the message he conveys).
