priscaoge: Lol..My dear that attire tire me jare. I just de wonder how and what made them Igbo women

Lol...I would think they been Igbo women make them Igbo women more so than their attire

priscaoge: Igbo women? I doubt. Their headgear,jigida on their waist n d bangles on their legs

Maybe they are Igbo's but dressed to show African attire, because their outfit here looks strange

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: Formed "some" civilizations, although not to the scale of other groups, huh?

Well... I guess it was about time we started stratifying African groups from most civilized to most barbaric. If you can't beat the rest of the racially obsessed world, join them.

....And this is why I find some of this history/empire bullsh*t overrated and dumb.

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"

oladimejiX: Well i said recent because of how developed other parts of the world was at that time

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.


....
even u negroids ur self compare ur lightest and the ones who wear weaves to us horn people

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.


well am non white. intersting how those who interacted with whites show a subordination of the mind. still even today after so many years after slavery has ended.


why is it wrong to say i am a diffrent group of people that is diffrent from u. why is stating the obvious something to be upset at


any asian, arab, or white can tell a horn african from u negroids.


even u negroids ur self compare ur lightest and the ones who wear weaves to us horn people

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

@ Layi
Couldn't have put it better myself

Thanks sis, truth is much better than falsehood

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.

OH BOY OH BOY here we go. The last time a check history didnt Africans thought the rest of the world civilization, including demacracy?
