priscaoge: Igbo women? I doubt. Their headgear,jigida on their waist n d bangles on their legs What kind a logic is that? They are Africans, so their own attire is African. Maybe you mean other "African attire" The head gear look kind of southern African to me, the foot gear looks like a whole lot of overlapping with other African groups and some natives in south India. I think the older the African tradition the more it show connections between African cultures including those of the Nile Valley, and who we are. |

chulla12: I find nothing "racially" and sinister about the statement. Since it didn't used any anti African anti Black Euro-centric yardstick for the comparison as many of the "racially obsessed" colonial minds debates between some Africans do. Especially Some "Somalis" 1 Like |

oladimejiX: Its more like how colonized most parts of the world was at that time, to be seeing not colonized African traditions in such a late stage of non African colonialism. The 1920s is a recent stage of "development" for many other parts of the world, its a late stage of African development. Many other parts of the world outside of Africa was far from been develop in the 1920s. |

InsertName: People, it's very obvious this user, the OP, is a white person or a nonblack person. I doubt he or she is actually from Somalia. I wouldn't doubt it. That table picture he post is from a white supremacist book talking about "Somalis/Horn Africans been half human half simian primate with 68IQ, with the human half been from whites and the simian half been Somalis/Horn Africans - African ancestry" |

somalia5: lol...white and non white. Most Somalis isn't "light" as you would like it to be. Some Somalis also wear weaves and or straighten their hair(which I don't support), including the famous Iman |

somalia5: lol...white and non white. Actually Somalis like you suffers from euro-centric derived slave mind than just about any Black American who according to you were the slaves. That's the irony. That is if you are actually a Somali that is |

Without colonism African countries would have all that it have now and much much more technologically wise and otherwise. To think otherwise means that you don't know nothing about African history, or your own history. technology didn't just come about by whites, ALL RACES CONTRIBUTED TO IT. Your own Philip Emeagwali made great contribution to the internet. The Yoruba's where making iron long before Europeans. Africans did not exist in a little box by themself's they traded all over the world long before colonism but racists would want to have you believing otherwise. Don't forget the contributions ancient Kemet (known as Egypt today) made to the Greeks and Roman and in turn the rest of Europe and even enslaved them before they enslaved us. What might seem like Black rule after colonism was/is still white rule by intitutions like the IMF and WB and vicious greedy Black puppets, while they kill leaders like Patrice Lamumba who believe African wealths belong to Africans and resist neocolonism/colonism. Don't forget Kwamy Nkrumah who tell us if we don't abandon these colonial made mini state NOW for one united Africa we are making a HUGE mistake, the western world hated him. These are the kind of leaders African countries need and is been denied and continue to. Thats why some of us are confused now thinking that Africa should return to racists colonism to solved its problems that as been created by racists colonism for the most part in the first place. One of Black countries biggest mistake after colonism was to look to those who colonized and enslaved us for redevelopment when they were the ones who underdevelop us in the first place, what they did was/is just take advantage of the situation and made matters even worst. |
