ok lets break it down, black people all over the world are extremey materialistic. they love their mercedes benz, bmw, blackberry, apple laptops, lexus, SUVs, armani and gucci shoes, designer clothes and accesories, etc etc etc. thats all they seem to talk about. the ones in america even sing about it.

now none of these things black people love so much are made in africa. they are made abroad. these things need resources as raw materials for their manufacture. the company that makes em need fuel and gas and oil. these have to all be gotten at cheap price from somewhere to make these goods that black people love. these things have to be gotten from africa cheaply either by starting wars so they can take it cheaply or by killing any african leader who opposes them taking these raw materials cheaply. so basically by killing our good leaders, they are doing us africans a favor because they are doing this in a quest to get us the goods we love so much. so why do we like belly-aching about the west stealing our resources when at the end of the day, they use the resources to make things we obsess about ?

The big question should be, what has Africa contributed to world civilization over the course of history?

Very sad that most Africans dont know their History

@Rgp, pls point to one good form of civilization the african mind has granted upon world history. I'm a staunch historian, just for the knowing. I know so much abt most cultures and civilization. The african continent, with all its many cultures is the least on the ladder of civilization.

Egypt, mail, Oyo, Bini, Nok, carthage, Nubia for exampel. And you call youself a historian? You're doing a bad.

By the way, do you live in Nigeria?

Buz,the black race is on cloud 9,fundamentally miseducated to d point that even common ants understand d game better.

Like Africans were travelling to America way way before the 16th-18th century holocausts. Civilisation started in Africa; mathematics, medicine, law, agriculture e.t.c

I think it will take a few years before everybody recovers because the attack has been both physical and worst still psychological. Imagine, most Africans call their own religions demonic and the religions that was used to infultrate us is seen as the truth. Now thats a problem; and also the lack of our leaders concern in basic security. Instead of us spending major money on defence, we divert most to our personal swiss accounts.

This cleary shows your lack of knowledge and complete ignorance. It is people like you that needs to wake up and you need to wake up fast!

You say you know so much about cultures and civilisations, answer me this who was responsible for pythagoras theory? Who are the "Olmec"? What point in time were they the dominating force; where did they come from?
Can you name 10 Black inventors? Who was the first president of the United states of America?

If the truth needs to be told we actually are the ones given our resources away - for paper.

During the colonial era our resources were being stolen - now we are simply tricked out of them for paper money.

With the chinese they attempted to give us something tangible for the resources - like roads and schools.

But with the caucasian all they offer us for the resource is a secret account to stash the cash - and also guns.

He know nothing about Africa, yet he call himself a historian.

There are in excess of  2,000 inventions that were patent by black Americans (and thats a conservative figure) most are not in the public eye for reasons that we certainly know.

Let me name a few:

Madam C J Walker [/b]was a business tycoon that earned a fortune through the invention of some of her cosmetic products. Infact she was the first ever American woman to become a millionaire.

[b]Elijah McCoy [/b]was the Canadian-American engineer responsible for great achievements in the development of the locomotives. He had in total a number of 57 inventions.

[b]Lewis Latimer (one of my favourite inventors of all times) was a draftsman who managed an oustanding career with his great achievements in the field of electrical electonics. Everyone knows about Thomas Edisson that the Americans claim invented electricity, but this was the same era Lewis was in and he was a prolific scientist that transformed the U S Electric Lighting company with numerous new technologies; carbon, floruscent, fillament e.t.c


Andrew Beard was another superb engineer that invented the first reliable railroad copuler.

Daniel Williams was one of the greatest surgeons of his time and was the only American cardiologist to have first successfully performed an open-heart surgery.

Charles Drew was another superb surgeon only he specialised in the study of blood transfusion and was responsible for the technology that allowed the opening of the first blood bank.

Garrett Morgan was an unstoppable inventing machine; as in he defied the "jack of all trade master of none" saying. His inventions were across different fields of study e.g Traffic signals (know known as traffic lights), gas masks, hair straighning e.t.c

Charles Brooks was responsible for the street sweeper. Prior to his invention, streets were cleaned manually by picking up trash by hand or sweeping it with brooms.


And the first ever President of America was  named George Washington

John Hanson (d. c. 1860) was an African American associated with the American Colonization Society, which sought to relocate black Americans in Liberia. In Liberia, he served as a senator from Grand Bassa County.
Senator Hanson has recently been confused with an earlier John Hanson, a white politician from Maryland who served as President of the Continental Congress during the American Revolution. According to this urban myth, John Hanson of Maryland was actually black, and also the first President of the United States. Internet sites promoting the hoax use the photograph of Senator John Hanson of Liberia to support the claim, even though photography had not yet been invented when the earlier John Hanson was living.

I am afraid if people who referred to Africa as black and Africans as black people know more than ant. No human being is either white or black. Again earth has one race and it is human race.

Africa is the cradle of humanity, civilization, philosophy, physical sciences, commerce, metarlurgy, agriculture, Pretty much all the core recipes of civility.

The greatest mistake the war mongering crusaders made was assuming that if they attempted to get rid of the evidence of black African history then they'll be free to create it themselves.

This assumption was admitedly witty but more importantly was always doomed for failure.

Yes thi is very true, no wonder why so many of us hate ourselves. We contributed to society in MANY ways. We built pyraminds, started astrology, started medicine, made education, made many inventions that are still being used today (but in different forms). The Europeans just came and destroyed it and changed the histroy. That is why Napolean drestroyed the nose of the sphinx because it had a negroid nose. They don't want to give us credit for our contribution to society. This is part of white supremacy.

Black people even colonized south Europe. The moors colonized them for 700 years but most people don't know that because it is not good for their ego.

Black people you must, STUDY YOUR OWN HISTORY TO FREE YOURSELF> THEN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!!

Where is Rossike to when You need him to rubbish the OP.
You get luck say Rossike dey sabbatical leave, you for hear am.

The average person in 9ja is looking at how to get a blackberry from US, or one kind shoe, or import a Honda end of discussion. Imagine if the world said, "You Negros cant get none of this shyt until you clean up your smelly country, including Visas".

What would then happen when you cant pretend to be on the same level as those from serious countries? See the outcry when GEJ banned those woeful Eagles, and the outcry by jokers
