Original title: Mansa Musa: The First Nigga. Its hard to read about Mansa Musa, the richest man in the time-span of human existence, without getting angry. When this African king made his procession to Mecca he gave away so much gold that the economy of Eygpt was devastated for a decade. The value of every metal deflated as far away as Spain and the economic destruction was so severe that Musa borrowed back much of the gold he had given at extremely high interest rates to try and fix the problem. He built a mosque on every Friday of his pilgrimage, and ladden every beggar he saw with gold powder. This was to the same Arabs who called his people Abd (not slave of God, slave of people & God) Abd Al-Abdalluh  and castrated and raped Africans like animals for 1000's of years.Did he not notice that the people these Arabs treated like swine were black like him? Mansa Musa was the richest man in human existence, he had the power to control the economy of the entire known world. No black man has ever had, or ever will have that kind of power again. Mansa Musa had the power of world domination, and like a typical hood nigga, he gave it away... Sound familiar? 2 Likes

pleep: I will have that power! Nyahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree he shouldn't have given it away, but still he has created the most successful African empire. And how was he like a typical 'Nigger'? I mean the every day black person would never give money away like that. Do you see 50cent, P Diddy or Jay Z giving away money like that? |

PAPA AFRICA: He didn't give away enough to put a real dent in his massive amount of wealth. His successors spent it more carelessly than he.All you can do is make silly excuses, but you are missing the point. Mansa Musa had absolute control over the price of gold in the entire know world That is the power of world domination and he squandered it. He made his hajj with 60,000 men.... why was that not an army! |

William the conqurer took over england with 30 thousand men The sultanate of Morrocco took over songhai with 2500 men Mansa Musa had 400 billion dollars in gold and the logistics to transport 60,000 men across the sahara desert and he accomplished nothing. African history is a history of failure. 1 Like |

If any other people on earth had that kind of wealth and logistics they would have taken over the world. 60,000 men would have been the biggest army in the middle east at that time, and one of the biggest armies at that point in history. Mansa Musa: The first nigger. 1 Like |

IIRC I think the Mali Empire used maps. Also they say one Mali ruler named Abubakari's made a voyage to the Americas. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/1068950.stm Some even said they found pre Columbus African remains on the U.S Vargin Islands with pre colombian braclets clamped around their wrist. Now I am not taking this as truth, but just saying. |

Mr Diawara says the paradox of Abubakari II, is that the Griots themselves imposed a seal of silence on the story. "The Griots found his abdication a shameful act, not worthy of praise," Mr Diawara said. "For that reason they have refused to sing praise or talk of this great African man From your link I don't buy your story |

PAPA AFRICA: You lack critical thinkingyou lack common sense. No empire has ever lasted forever. But the ones who expanded have passed down a legacy to their decendants while the ones that didn't passed down a history of slavery and colonialization which is better? 1 Like |
