Happy Independence Day!

In my previous posts, I wrote at length that Black people do not have a civilization. And I got a bunch of detractors.

Blacks Don't Have a Civilization

Blacks Don't Have a Civilization 2.0

When we speak of civilization in literal term, you may define it as any settlement - hamlet, village, small town etc. In that case, of course, blacks have a civilization. But you talk civilization in terms of economic power, scientific and technological advances in current or previous era, then blacks as I explained, don't have a civilization.

If you're reading this post, you might have been told that blacks have or had a prestigious civilization, that have been overlooked by western scholars or were raided and destroyed by European and Arab invasion. In the following paragraphs, I'll present several evidences to the contrary.

1. Blacks' Lack of Historical Literature

What relevant literature from ancient black empires or kingdoms do blacks posses today? Name one? A hallmark of civilizations are their surviving classical texts or records. Such literature are relatively scarce among blacks, if not absent.

2. Blacks' Lack of Historical Figures

Mention black philosophers or scientists like Aristotle or Mendel? You most probably can't. Civilizations often have these kinds of individuals among their ancestors.

3. Blacks' Lack of Community Ambition

If you ask, say Europeans what they hope to accomplish by 2030, they may speak of cure to certain diseases like HIV or renewable energy. If you ask blacks the same question, the response won't be as interesting.

Nations and tribes that are/have a civilization care to preserve, innovate and build upon their community to sustain and carry on their civilization to future generation. Black people don't do any of these. You look at the state of poverty, disease and ignorance in large swath of sub-saharan Africa today and you wonder how any civilization could let itself deteriorate to such an extent.

So, compared to Europeans, Arabs or East Asians, blacks don't have a civilization. I could stop here. But then you have these people who agree with this conclusion, but blame the lack of black civilization on external factors, rather than internal factors within the black community.

One common argument is that Europeans only developed their civilization through slavery. But then you tell these people that blacks had slaves too. If slavery built western civilization, why didn't it build black civilization?

At this point, they'll say European colonialists exploited African resources to build their civilization. And this is false again because blacks had these resources at their disposal before the Europeans appeared, but they neither discovered nor tapped into them adequately. Moreover, the resources remain in abundance among blacks today and they have done little to exploit them.

And then at this point, they'll probably accuse you of hating black people and lose all civility in addressing you. And so, when you look at the reality of most black people today, they have really terrible views on about just everything, and they do not truly care about any black civilization or community.

ALL CORRECT
