oga stop decievn ursef, u claim eeryfin ting strted from africa and bla bla, look at the asians, india etc they also faced conquest and imperialism, bt in truth they'd already established their forms of writing, had built massive architectural infrastructures etc the blckman couldn't even document his own history... Ok let's assume we were unjustly subjugated for yrs n our history cleaned, can u explain why till today, with all the education etc we still cannot create nyfin of technological significance.. Our engineers are theorists tht calculate only on paper, my take is africa, savagely believes in bvalues n culture and protects dese viciously.
Every strange phenomenom is quickly ascribed and viwed via spiritual connotation.
The black doesnnt change his enviroment to suit him, he learns to live in his enviroment, no matter how terrible it is . The blckman has proven wthout ny reasonable doubt wht the whyte supremacist proclaim.

That's where you are wrong, what about the Zulu Bantus? did you forget about them? Under the influence of Shaka Zulu their empire was gigantic

dude abeg, zulu bantus what? I'm talking about the greatest civilizations with the most brilliant engineering/architectural work [some that can't be replicated in the present day], democracy started in Athens Greece thousands of years ago, [we are still struggling here in Nigeria]. Astronomy, Geometry, Medicine, Engineering, Trade, Banking are things Europe picked up and ran with. They formed alliances through inter cultural royal marriages, in Africa, the Yorubas most likely never made contact with Igbos and vice versa until the Europeans came. Even Marriage btw cultures na sweat still. t'alm about shaka zulu

I noticed Nomadic people are very proud and xenophobic. Like Somalis, Arabs, Fulanis, North Africans. Those societies also instill independence and self reliance.

The so-called nomadic people assert their superiority (aka "pride" ) over the rest of Black Africans because they see themselves as 1 step ahead on the racial ladder though they are Black and/or African.

Thin facial features and all.

I have read articles that reference Fulani herders referring to their black African neighbors as animalistic and inferior.

Somalis in this forum share the same sentiment.

Whether this is influenced by humanity's stupid and self imposed racial ladder...with White Caucasians at the top... or some ethnic pride not evidenced by their flatter faced cousins is subject to debate.

I just noticed your numerous threads mocking "bantu" facial features and we have a peaceful, 70-page long thread in the cullture section that proclaims fulanis as the most beautiful people on earth (not much contention there, I noticed).

There are so many patterns that point to how the world works that it is crazy!

They were busy feasting on one another as cannibals, while selling their women as slaves.

And that lasted for about 600 years. grin

And here we are, conquered by them in every sense of the words from this point on to about a millenium or two...if WW3 does not wipe us of the face of the earth.

They have established the first global empire ...something no other civilization has ever achieved since the dawn of humanity.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that the cosmos was having a big laugh at our expense!

Well the animalistic reference there hints at simian-related jibes.

Many of the Fulani herds men thought us to be monkey-like in Appearance. Very conforming of the prevalent racial attitude and nothing special, really.

Many of these people also sold black slaves to Arab traders...so a certain level of belief in the racial ladder (they believing themselves to be the middle race between Caucasians and Blacks) had to be a factor.

Absolutely not, how can we (whom we ourselves think we are the most beautiful people in the world) have a disgraceful inferiority complex like you? We have always seen ourselves better than everyone else. Whites weren't even allowed to touch our women. So many reports on this, even whites admit it.

We had the best brains in Africa. The Europe only played smartness on African. Read the book " How Europe underdeveloped Africa" it has the answer to your question. Though African brethren aint still helping themselves.
For my part,l don't really believe Europe under-developed Africa

Has anyone really thought about how primitive,uncivilized and barbaric Africa would have been if the Europeans did not come

We have all heard about the koma people of ?Adamawa,as well as the primitive tribes in the Amazon rainforests...how their isolated settlements cut them off from contact with the Europeans, and hence civilization.

Granted, Europe plundered Africa,but the civilization they brought was one of the best things to happen to Africa.

South Africa is this developed because the Europeans lasted much longer before independence.

And whether we bow to whites or not makes no difference to some harsh realities on ground.

They have gripped us by the balls and will continue squeezing for a very, very, VERY, long time.

In other words, you Fulanis and Somalis are stuck with the rest of us.

I am an existentialist of sorts.

While you may feel some quaint victory in fairytales of preventing Whites from touching your women (because let's face it - if they REALLY wanted to, they would easily do so. Boko Haram is doing a fine job of this at present), I honestly don't care much about measuring against a self imposed world power like the rest of you zombies in denial.

I do, however, know harsh realities when I see one.

It didn't happen because unlike you slaves, Fulanis didn't bow down to whites and even the white gent in the video stated the facts.

We Fulani were far too warlike and not submissive like some of you sissies.

I can see where you all get it from though. Whenever I see GEJ, I see where the wimpiness and lack of manliness comes from. You all might as well be women with the way you all approach things like cowards.

can you comprehend, that Education has always been and will always be part of human's essence. "Education has always been in Africa" so what? it has always been in other places too. This Timbuktu didn't influence it's neighboring cultures. In fact a famous account of the place was written by an European, Marco polo.

and Timbuktu isn't the oldest university, people get too excited with the little history they can get their hands on, and start thinking up nonsense up.

True Maccudo talk.

Timbuktu had many cultures, it wasn't just one culture.

It was comprised and still is comprised of Fulani, Songhai, Mande, Tuareg and a few other ethnicities. So neighbouring cultures were indeed influenced. Did you even watch the video? Stop being a spoon-fed Eurocentric.

Or why, in 1964-5, the Sarduana (sp?) who was eventually murdered in the coup of 66 said that he would hire British expatriates in the North before Southern Nigerians.

There I do not agree with you. The descendants of Canaan are the Canaanites whom the Israelites chased out of their land and made some of them slaves. E.g the Gibeonite. To prove that they were not Africans, the Israelites were slaves in Africa (i.e. Egypt) before they even returned to the land of Canaan to exterminate it's occupants and enslave them.



There are three of them: Ham(Canaan), Shem and Japheth. Noah cursed Ham, but not the other two. So, the probability that we belong to Ham is high.

However, I have added Abra to my own Ham, so I am now a descendant of AbraHam grin
