ISpiksDaTroof:


Blacks in the United States and Europe have achieved way more---and made a more significant impact--- on human kind than their African counterparts (whom have been proven to have even lesser I.Qs than the Mongolian Bonobo Monkey).

Maybe the OP needs to go back to join his brethren in Africa .

What do you hope to achieve here?

Blacks in the USA and Europe have been living in developed countries with so much help from the start that's why. If you have a five second headstart in a 100m race would you boast to others coming in behind you?


Still though black people in USA and Europe are behind their white and Asian counterparts in many indices in the same country. They also tend to destroy their communities more. In fact Asians and White people don't destroy their own communities at all.

What has the black race achieved on this planet? The race has a lower IQ average compared to other races. African countries are dangerous, cesspits that lack the rule of law. Blacks here in the US make up 13% of the population, but commit over 50% of the violent crime. Why should anyone be proud of being Black?! What has the race as a collective achieved?!

Hint: Nothing.

Well maybe if your you were better or exemplary we could have listed your achievements but you're not, so we can't.

Only a loser will come out to say his/her race haven't achieved anything or are intellectually inferior. These kind of people( like the OP) should be ignored, they ain't worth any reply. They are the lost children of our great and mighty ancestors.

Re: What Are The Achievements Of The Black Race? by AlfaSeltzer(m): 5:23am On Feb 17, 2018
It's not easy being black but we dey try.

We chased away the so called superior colonial race from our lands. We no even fire weapon like the vietnamese. We just use sense. Unfortunately it seems all our senses were used for that endeavour and we have none left.

But small small things dey turn. OP take heart. An African man went to US a few decades ago and in 2008 his son became the most powerful man in the world. So hope still dey for future generations.

Blacks in the United States and Europe have achieved way more---and made a more significant impact--- on human kind than their African counterparts (whom have been proven to have even lesser I.Qs than the Mongolian Bonobo Monkey).

Maybe the OP needs to go back to join his brethren in Africa .

Re: What Are The Achievements Of The Black Race? by izombie(m): 9:26am On Feb 17, 2018
Op the answer to your question is NOTHING. The black race has not achieved anything. Those mentioning names like michael jackson and oprah should shut it abeg. MJ was a musicial but none of the musical instruments he used was made by a black person. All the things the black person uses today are made by the whites. The dirtiest and most dangerous part of every big city i have been to is usually the part where blacks are the majority. The most nauseating part of all this is watching my fellow black people always trying to blame the whites for everything bad that happens to us. I smh.

ChinonsoDike2:
What has the black race achieved on this planet? The race has a lower IQ average compared to other races. African countries are dangerous, cesspits that lack the rule of law. Blacks here in the US make up 13% of the population, but commit over 50% of the violent crime. Why should anyone be proud of being Black?! What has the race as a collective achieved?!

Hint: Nothing.

Before you ignorantly showcase your crass nonentities, I will like to educate you a little on what the black race has done.

Around 3500 BC when most of Europeans were grunting in caves, hunting and gathering with little or no sense of literal capacity, in the Nile valley in Africa rose a chiefdom called Ta-Seti. Ta-Seti was a nothern Nubian vassal civilisation which became the first administrative region of what became ancient Egypt (Kemet).
2. When ancient Africans in the Nile valley were building structures most part pf Europe were competing with wild animals on the forests for shelter and feeding.

3. Where do you think science and astronomy came from? Have you heard of Nabta Playa ? I bet you haven't. Ancient Africans engaged in science and astronomy thousands of years before most part of Europe.

4. Where do you think the ancient Greek scholars learned most of their crafts? It was in Africa.... Medicine, Science, Religion all was influnced by the Nile Valley civilisations.

Why do you think over 10 ancient kingdoms came to Egypt and ruled for over 2000 years? They were unable to further south to Nubia because of their military might... They drained the region of its knowledge, race and substance.

When writing was developed in some parts of Africa.... Most part of Europe were still using stones to scratch rocks portraying unintelligible messages.

Africa had its time.... Just like USA, 500 years ago little was known of the American Hemisphere.... But now it is the wonder of the earth....
30 years ago..... Nothing was known of Dubai but now it is a world wonder...

No human being is created stupid or mentally lame... Provide them with the needed knowledge and skills and watch them change the shape of the earth....

Dont be a mere half-wit blinded by hate and bigotry.
Blacks have more strength, endurance and equal mental capacity with any race....
