AmuEwu:



If blacks where already everywhere across the world like you claim, and had ships thousands of years before the Caucasians, I expect that they should have been a little more advanced. I expect that they should also have been able to defend themselves with these things and it should not have been easy for the Europeans to come into their lands and conquer them. Not only conquer them, but also go to their '' brothers '' lands as well and conquer them also.

Please explain to me how the Europeans whereas able to trump up blacks that where light years ahead of them according to your theory

Europeans survived on alien technology.
