This thread doesn't seek to disrespect black people, I'm black and I'm proud of my skin color, but the truth is I believe the black man has done nothing to contribute to the overall growth and progress of mankind, going according to biblical accounts the black race is cursed, and the black race is supposed to be in servitude to his white brothers, (noah cursed his son ham for refusing to put a covering on him when ham found him drunk and naked)

Right from time, the black man has always been primitive in everything, even when the white man sought for ways to better themselves, the black man resorted to continual worship of deities who demanded human sacrifice, the black man has always been selfish, always thinking about himself, and his family, and if he is a good man, he might put his community in his thoughts, but the black man doesn't care about what happens in other parts of the world, he feels there is no need to worry about the things going on in other parts of the world cos they do not have any apparent effect on him,

If it wasn't for the white man, I wonder where the black race would be by now, can u imagine chaka zulu orchestrating plans on how to get to the moon? Or oba erediawa the 1st, being worried about the aPparent effects of global warming? Of course not, even the thought will bring a smile to your face, look at the history of the world, the black man has never invented any thing of relevance,

I'm not saying the black man is not intelligent, there are millions of very intelligent black men, But I honestly believe the black race has slowed down the pace of development in the world, call me what ever u want but these are my views, and they might change when maybe a black man develops a machine that moves faster than the speed of light,

U know serious at all! Go and read ebony magazine and see what many black people av achieved. What about Oprah Winfrey and our own Phillips Emegwali

hahahaha, splendid, in your quest to defend the black race u've succeeded In making fun of us, how does the pencil sharpener, pastry fork, mop, etc help in the overall progress of the world? And I hope u're aware that most of the inventors u listed above were african americans, not indigenous africans,

eninaija: U know serious at all! Go and read ebony magazine and see what many black people av achieved. What about Oprah Winfrey and our own Phillips Emegwali

u seem not to understand me melady, most africans who have succeeded in doing things of note, were given a platform for them to do these things, and the platform was given to them by the whiteman, what platform has the blackman created?

eninaija: U know serious at all! Go and read ebony magazine and see what many black people av achieved. What about Oprah Winfrey and our own Phillips Emegwali

what did emegwali do?

bolaino: This thread doesn't seek to disrespect black people, I'm black and I'm proud of my skin color, but the truth is I believe the black man has done nothing to contribute to the overall growth and progress of mankind, going according to biblical accounts the black race is cursed, and the black race is supposed to be in servitude to his white brothers, (noah cursed his son ham for refusing to put a covering on him when ham found him drunk and naked)

Right from time, the black man has always been primitive in everything, even when the white man sought for ways to better themselves, the black man resorted to continual worship of deities who demanded human sacrifice, the black man has always been selfish, always thinking about himself, and his family, and if he is a good man, he might put his community in his thoughts, but the black man doesn't care about what happens in other parts of the world, he feels there is no need to worry about the things going on in other parts of the world cos they do not have any apparent effect on him,

You are part of the problem, not the solution. First you are using several time in your post the word believe. Your mind is traped in beliefs. How?, If one has to believe, it means he does not know, and if one does not know, that is ignorance. Hence, belief is ignorance and belief without the facts is ignorance; So I demand that anyone attempting to impose on me their beliefs, they are to produce facts. The most deceptive word is the word "believe" or "belief", Because a person can believe anything and this means that a person can believe, And be 100% wrong But knowledge is knowing and knowledge is correct information. "To know" gives one confidence, but belief infers doubt. if you look in the middle of the word believe or belief you will see the word lie.

First of all, go back and read your post. You never mentioned Africa. If it is implied, I don't see it. All of the inventions are important to someone. The only person making fun of Africans here is you. Don't try to put that on me. I did not try to put you down. I merely stated a fact. You should check yours before posting. That statement still stands. Stop making my point for me. Please.

@Op black people have really contributed to the development of man kind in various way in foreign lands. The story back home is very different. Let me list a few of our problems.
1. The average black man values relationships better than output. Rather than invest time in delivering their work output, they prefer to play the loyal boy card (eye service).This actually works for them in d short run as they grow quickly in organisations, but in d long run since no one is doin the work, things r bound to fail.

2. Black people talk too much. If u quantify the time wasted by Africans discussing irrelevant topics in the work place, u'l realize how much man hours is lost to human development. U find people discussing family issues, holidays, cars to buy etc on official time which is very unproductive.

3. The average black man is very strong physically, but is mentally lazy. The mental potential is there but we are not ready to use it. We'll rather wait for the oyibo man to produce things for us to consume. While we forget that for every foreign item we buy, we help in keeping an oyibo man employed while making our people jobless.

4. We are very impatient. Nothing good comes easy. We all want miraculous results without working for them. Little wonder why people jump churches like buses looking for miracles. Even our football fans will not allow Keshi to do his job. Most times we are only concerned about the results and not the process of getting to the result. We cant develop if we continue to be impatient as there is no short cut to success.

5. Lack of passion and poor motivation is another issue. We are hardly passionate about the things we do. Where u do not love what it is u are doin, u cannot be the best. I'v seen cases where kids who are passionate about engineering end up becoming accountants just to have a better chance of landing a job. Parents and guardians are not really helping in this regard.

6. Poor self esteem. Most black people believe the oyibo man is intellectually superior to black people. This is the biggest lie in the world today. As long as they can keep us believing this, we will always rely on them for our development. However, they do not want us to develop because, if we do they will become irrelevant. Its time for us to start believing in ourselves and be the best in whatever we chose to do.

Black P3nis with some hard facts. Within the shores of Africa, Black race has contributed lots of proverbs, Herbal medcine, and wireless technologies.

Very silly thread

I was too harsh with my reply and I'm sorry, but my anger at the black race is not cos I hate being black, I'm very very very proud being black,

it's just that the black man is always content with his situation, he doesn't strive to make things better, when things happen he just takes them like that, he doesn't ask questions, and asking questions is what leads to progress, when u ask questions, u get answers and these answers help shape your reality,

I created this topic so that we as black men can see truly that we haven't contributed meaningfully to the overall growth of the world, and maybe, just maybe, a black man who reads this post might feel challenged to do something about this, I apologize again if I offended u with my reply in anyway,

egyptian God, u intelligently evaded contributing to the thread,

Op thanks a million, you asked a very good question, but some of the people here will call you all sorts of names.

The answer is nothing, it is not that blacks cannot it is just that majority are mentally lazy, dumb and cant critically look at things properly, that is why they wont waste time to curse you out.

We need to ask ourselves some deep searching questions. If we are to progress, if not the gap btw us and the rest of the world will be too much.

Black people produced Nelson Mandela who overlooked the atrocities of his people's oppressors so that they could continue their oppression! This is one outstanding contribution.

I'm not saying the black man is not intelligent, there are millions of very intelligent black men, But I honestly believe the black race has slowed down the pace of development in the world, call me what ever u want but these are my views, and they might change when maybe a black man develops a machine that moves faster than the speed of light,

You need to kill yourself for this ignorant article you wrote .

The white man created the material world that has enslaved everyone today.

bolaino: I was too harsh with my reply and I'm sorry, but my anger at the black race is not cos I hate being black, I'm very very very proud being black,

it's just that the black man is always content with his situation, he doesn't strive to make things better, when things happen he just takes them like that, he doesn't ask questions, and asking questions is what leads to progress, when u ask questions, u get answers and these answers help shape your reality,

I created this topic so that we as black men can see truly that we haven't contributed meaningfully to the overall growth of the world, and maybe, just maybe, a black man who reads this post might feel challenged to do something about this, I apologize again if I offended u with my reply in anyway,

You are part of the problem of the black race because you have been so brainwashed you believe the rubbish you read from the bible. You are not proud to be black,you wish you were white.

I strongly agree with number 2 and 6.

Especially number 6.

You have no idea how ingrained number 6 is in 99.9% of all people of Black African descent worldwide.

A good book to read that expounds on how self-limiting beliefs alter your reality is Joseph Murphy's book - The Power of Your Subconscious mind.

The difference between Europeans, Asians and Africans starts with our minds.

Black Peni5: @Op black people have really contributed to the development of man kind in various way in foreign lands. The story back home is very different. Let me list a few of our problems.
1. The average black man values relationships better than output. Rather than invest time in delivering their work output, they prefer to play the loyal boy card (eye service).This actually works for them in d short run as they grow quickly in organisations, but in d long run since no one is doin the work, things r bound to fail.

2. Black people talk too much. If u quantify the time wasted by Africans discussing irrelevant topics in the work place, u'l realize how much man hours is lost to human development. U find people discussing family issues, holidays, cars to buy etc on official time which is very unproductive.

3. The average black man is very strong physically, but is mentally lazy. The mental potential is there but we are not ready to use it. We'll rather wait for the oyibo man to produce things for us to consume. While we forget that for every foreign item we buy, we help in keeping an oyibo man employed while making our people jobless.

4. We are very impatient. Nothing good comes easy. We all want miraculous results without working for them. Little wonder why people jump churches like buses looking for miracles. Even our football fans will not allow Keshi to do his job. Most times we are only concerned about the results and not the process of getting to the result. We cant develop if we continue to be impatient as there is no short cut to success.

5. Lack of passion and poor motivation is another issue. We are hardly passionate about the things we do. Where u do not love what it is u are doin, u cannot be the best. I'v seen cases where kids who are passionate about engineering end up becoming accountants just to have a better chance of landing a job. Parents and guardians are not really helping in this regard.

6. Poor self esteem. Most black people believe the oyibo man is intellectually superior to black people. This is the biggest lie in the world today. As long as they can keep us believing this, we will always rely on them for our development. However, they do not want us to develop because, if we do they will become irrelevant. Its time for us to start believing in ourselves and be the best in whatever we chose to do.

I'm not a christian mr, I'm agnostic, I mentioned the story in the bible to drive home a point, and sometimes I marvel at people like u, u say that I am brainwashed, But u're an atheist, is was atheism discovered by black people? Abi no be white man bring atheism? if u say I'm brainwashed, I won't argue wit u, But in your own case u've been brainwashed, dried, and ironed.

bolaino: hahahaha, splendid, in your quest to defend the black race u've succeeded In making fun of us, how does the pencil sharpener, pastry fork, mop, etc help in the overall progress of the world? And I hope u're aware that most of the inventors u listed above were african americans, not indigenous africans,

Sick xenocentric dude, hoping to infect us with your filth and poor self esteem, STFU!!! How dare you ridicule that list Blacks have been to a grt extent within d dependent bracket, but to say they've made no contributions all these years potrays obstinate ignorance and stupidity

Why is the OP asking this question?

I tell you that slavery and colonialism has done a number on the psyche of black people around the world. From Brazil to the United States to Nigeria, that the OP has to ask what has the black race done to "promote overall development for mankind."

Do Asians (i.e. Chinese, Koreans, Japanese), Europeans (i.e. Greeks, Germans, Italians) and Hispanics (i.e. Mexicans, Cubans, Bolivians) ask this question?
