Do you even know what a submarine is, or its history, or even how the material a submarines is made out of connects with the fact that its "underwater technology o."? the oldest submarines were made out of wood. Africans were experts in boat and canoe making. Its been all but confirmed they made submarines by colonial officials themselves. Get on another machine and read the link.

wildikeman:
Now as for the voting thing I stand to be corrected. Yes perhaps some tribes did have election amongst its people. But the sacrifice own is so true. People were being sacrificed even up to today. Here is a link www.executedtoday.com/2011/06/28/1899-ologbosere-benin-empire/...we can't gloat over such. This are facts its even going on till today!
Maybe you have missed the part about colonialism and cultural corruption. The info in the capital punishment link I provided is not only common knowledge across the internet, but the book featured is written by an anthropologist and reviewed by people who studied the culture. Even the people themselves state that pre-colonial "sacrifice" was only limited to outcasts/criminals, not innocent citizens.

We should not be in a hurry, we should believe that Africa will one day develop too, although, it might not be our generation any more, but have it at d back of ur mind dat Africa will develop.

the moors are not black africans this are the people from nord africa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors

since when is jesus black when you see the people from israel than you know the color of the skin

The moors are not black the moors are arab and it comes from a country

The Romans interacted with (and later conquered) parts of Mauretania, a state that covered modern Morocco, western Algeria, and the Spanish cities Ceuta and Melilla during the classical period. The people of the region were noted in Classical literature as Mauri, which was subsequently rendered as "Moors" in English.[9] It is often common in modern times to apply the appellation of "Moor" or "Moors" to North Africans, especially Moroccans, although some find this derogatory.

Isidore of Seville, writing in the seventh century, claimed that the Latin word Maurus was derived from the Greek mauron, μαύρον, which is the Greek word for black.[10]
Modern meanings

In the Medieval Romance languages (such as Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian), the Latin word took such forms as moro, moir, mor, mouro and maur. From denoting a specific Berber people in western Libya, the name acquired more general meaning in the Romance languages during the medieval period, partly developing a general meaning of "Muslim", partly (much like "Saracens"wink taking a religious meaning of "infidels" in the context of the Crusades and the Reconquista.

Beside its usage in historical context, Moor and Moorish (Italian and Spanish: moro, French: maure, Portuguese: mouro, Romanian: maur) are used to designate an ethnic group speaking the Hassaniya Arabic dialect. They inhabit Mauritania and parts of Algeria, Moroccan Sahara, Tunisia, Morocco, Niger and Mali. In Niger and Mali, these peoples are also known as the Azawagh Arabs, after the Azawagh region of the Sahara.[11]


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moors read this than you will see that moors are arab people and not black africans


Is it that sub Saharan African kingdoms are so underwhelming that a lot of blacks are forced to claim that Moors and egyptains and Greeks were black.

Well technically speaking Moors and Egyptians had stocks of sub Saharan peoples so it is not incorrect to conclude that there were black people from these ethnic groups.

We were busy selling our brains and hefty men into slavery to built the then expensive mud houses, to purchase schnapps and marry the then beautiful girls, to purchase horses, domestic servants...

Up till date, the process is still on! A friend told me ts our culture.

Even if the whites/europeans decide to sleep for 100yrs (which is not possible) we'll never overtake them.

I think this development between various continents is just cyclical. Every continent has its peaks and valleys. At one point Africa held centerstage in the world when you look at the pyramids, the exploits of Mansa Musa, the Benin Empire with its man made structure that was longer than the Great Wall of China. Europe also had its peaks with the Roman Empire, and I am sure others did. Nothing is ever permanent or no country can be dominant forever.
