[quote author=ShyM-X]Stop creating dumb threads!! [/quote]Do you remember my old posts, how pro black they were? I am one of the most pro black posters on this forum.... what you see here is called being unbaised. In all my topics i am looking for the cold truth whether its a truth we like or not.

When i thought Afrocentrism was the truth i supported it with all the information i had at the time.. now that my information has expanded, i realize that African history is much darker and more complex than we (afrocentrics) might want to admit.

Its time you admitted that to yourself.

[quote author=ShyM-X]You created a thread with a good header - only for you to start off the body of the thread with your usual duffer-esque and asinine KKK-like rants just to talk down on one of the greatest empires ever built by mankind... The same empire that built the first university; gave us Baba Ahmed(arguably one of the greatest scholars ever; gave us Mansa Musa(the richest humanoid ever; and gave us Timbuktu(the city of legends)...

Perhaps, you aren't a git with so much self-hate you would have known that the same Moroccan forces annihilated the well equipped and powerful Portuguese army before Timbuktu... and they had about 6 lethal British cannons - something the Songhay forces didn't have... Just get a mirror - stare at the man in the mirror - and ask yourself why the little Great Britain was able to rule about 1/2 of the world... The answer to that would give you the consciousness required to overstand/understand why the Songhay forces were defeated...

Stop creating dumb threads!! [/quote]Yes, i am aware of the Morrocan victory over the Portugese, but that was a very different much larger scale battle. There Morrocans were outnumbered 2 to 1 while here they were outnumbered over 12 to one. You seem to think that just because the North Africans were using firearms that their victory in this battle makes sense.

That could not be farther from the truth.

The arquebus is the most ineffective gun imaginable... ballistically inferior to the bow. it can only fire around 1 shot per minute and the effective range is only 150 ft meters. An average man can run that distance in less than 30 seconds...

meaning that the North Africans would have only been able to fire 1 volley before the armies clashed.

With an accuracy rate of less than 1 in 4 for smooth-bore guns this means the casualties during the Shonghai charge would have been absolutely minimal.

And the "arquebusiers à cheval" don't even make sense....how could 500 horsemen with 1 shot guns defeat 12,000 heavy cavalry?

Either there is some information we are missing here or this is the most unprecidented display of cowardice in military history.

How so?

^ lol

@ OP... its a world-wide trend. Based on the research i've done on education trends women will probably be superceding men in the near future, and they already have in urban settings. Its just the cyclical nature of life and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Personally i don't think its a problem, if really want to live a traditional life-style you still can. I know i will.

My only issue is that 90% of womens empowerment is based on lies and misleading statistics like the wage gap myth. "feminism" is the most intellectually dishonest movement in modern times and that is the only reason why i have a problem with it.

REALITY101: Screw Michelle and Obama

CAMEROONPRIDE: College is a scam actually

yup

Its a game but u gotta play it

LMAO! @ the hidden post!

This is a thread for history buffs to annalize and discuss the battles that changed the history of Africa. The goal here is to find which specific clash most affects the political situation of Africans today. Lets look at the tactics, weapons, arms and armor involved in these earth shattering conflicts.... let the fun begin.

The Battle of Tondibi.

Most English language sources say that Songhai army fielded around 20,000 men... but in foreign sources they figure jumps as high as 30-40 thousand.

How on earth was such a large army defeated by 2500 Arab troops armed with the most primitive of guns?

How on earth did the Morrocan cavalry defeat the better armed and more numerous Songhai horsemen?

How could so many men flee from a force that was more than then 12X their lesser?

In my opinion this was the most important battle of West African history, it shattered the last vestage of hope that Africa could field an army large enough to hold of a European power. Here is he point by point description of the battle as seen in a French Graphic:


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/Bataille_de_tondibi.png (my translation)

1. "From Taghaza (in morrcoo) the Saadiennne army marches to Gao. She meets the malien army north of Gao, at Tondibi."

2. "The Songhai send some cattle in stampede to cover their infantry, the cattle are repelled by the sadienne cannons."

The cattle actually then turned around... and stampeded into the malien lines. This was a very interesting and creative tactic... if it had not backfired it could have been a precedent for pre-gunpowder armies to combat muskets and cannon.

3. "The Sonhai infantry line follow the charging cattle, she is massacred by the saadienne arquebusiers."

This is another issue... the arquebus is a vastly inferior gun.. it can only fire 1 shot every 2 minutes and often had to be mounted on a pole to achieve any degree of accuracy. It doens't make sense that so many men would be "massacred" by such an ineffective weapon.

4. "The cavalry clash, but the horse mounted arquebusiers (dafug?) quickly have the advantage over the Songhai. The rest of the army routes.... a massacre"

Horse gunners with such ineffective weapons simply do not make sense....the arquebus could barly shoot on groud.. let alone on a horse. There is either some vital information about this battle we are missing or the troops of songhai were absolute cowards.

somalia9: now i want u to go pick my crops......

wat crops nigga?

Governments build stone buildings... the regular people use mud, wood or w/e. Thats a given

^ Good post

However... you are missing the point a little. The only reason why i started talking about china was because the topic got side-tracked... whether or not the majority of buildings were made out of wood has nothing to do with anything.

1700 London was majority made out of wood.... and so was 1940's japan.

What matters is the structures they built. And Mali cannot compete on that level.


I understand that is largely because of geographic reasons, and not the people themselves.... but the point still stands

nevah cry oveah spillt melk.

its a sign of maturity.

Ok.. you seem like a nice girl. Srry for insulting you and making women look bad.

My nigga i am covered with blood.

And if your sacred book explicitly says God is o.k with you raping a 2 year old baby, you will not feel bad about that crime... no matter what the law says.

^ If you found this many problems with the first thirty minutes, i suggest you dont watch any further. Everything of value was already said. The vid goes into conspiracy theory socialist, communist, bla bla stuff, that i didn't really listen too and then finally shatters its credibility at the end

But despite the fact that you found so many flaws with the doc, there is some valid information there.

1. "Min" does not seem to refer to the early Christian Jews alone but to all those who are seen as heretics by Jews. Since Jews believed/believe that they have a covenant with God that is binding on them, and since Christianity is necessarily/inherently incompatible with Judaism, of course observant Jews or those at the vanguard of maintaining the integrity of their religion (like Rabbis) would have seen a Christian Jew as a heretic and devised ways to alienate, ostracize, and degrade that person along with other Jewish heretics. It's hard to see how that equates to some sort of grand plot in the Talmud to degrade all Christians.

It doesn't matter when or why it was written.. it is part of the Talmud. People don't read sacred texts through the lens of their original context. In a religious persons eyes it is speaking an eternal message that does not change or accomidate.

I know liberal Jews do not follow the Talmud word for word but if the murder of a specific group is sanctioned in your bible that makes a large degree of animositity inevitable. Keep in mind the Jews believe that this is their most sacred book... it supercedes the old testament.

This explains their inability and unwilling-ness to assimilate. You cannot find a better justification for racism, than your own bible. Even science will not create that kind of subconcious bias.

look at the way mainstream Christians view gays

As for the other aspect of your post, i cant really argue. You seem to be right

yall need to do a better job of circumcizing them.
