That's a good question!. But, its actually easy to understand "why" if you study history. I've explained it to others on this forum and would explain it here in an extended version. If you want to understand it and to teach others, make sure you follow the videos below in the order its posted.

First of all, its not a theory that black people had been on the planet before any other race. Its a scientific fact proved by the science of archaeology, genetics, paleontology. These branch of knowledge have all proved beyond any doubt that human life originated in Africa. It was from here in Africa that we populated the rest of the world. Therefore, black people had been on this earth alone for millions of years before white people arrived the scene. I didn't say so, white people themselves say so.

See the short video below- human ancestry made easy.

Assuming you've seen the above video, be informed our defeat and subjugation didn't happen overnight. It all began from evolution (not evolution of life) but evolution of how a culture thinks, the evolution of what one society consider to be evil while the other consider same thing as non evil. In other words, it had to do with the evolution of the extent a society could go to get what they want.

This's a huge history topic and I' am going to fast forward a lot of things just to get to the point..........

About 60,000 ago, many Africans began leaving Africa, they began migrating into the Middle East and Europe in great numbers due to climate change. Science call this Africans Modern man (homo sapiens) and they migrated or exodused out of Africa to Arabia, Eurasia, Australia, Asia, Brazil and the Americas, e.t.c. Science confirms a massive exodus of people out of Africa. Please see a scientific research on African migration "out" at https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/human-journey/. See another research on African migration "in" http://www.voanews.com/content/ancient-african-dna-shows-mass-migration-back-into-africa/2997519.html. It kept happening that way for a very long time, until the world climate stabilized and people were able to live in a permanent location and were able to begin farming during the neolithic period.

They were migrating because at that time the world climate wasn't stable. There were severe and erratic climatic change happening then, such that sometimes it would rain a whole month non-stop and people would be terrified as it seemed the whole earth was inundated with water. Ancient civilizations like the Incas and Mayans in South America, China, Africa, e.t.c all recorded global inundations, even the bible recorded it. This rain and inundation could also turn to severe drought in a blink of an eyes.

At a time, about 12,000 ago, Africans moved into Europe again, but this time something bad happened. They were trapped by sudden ice in what is called the ice age. Remember, I said climate then was very erratic. Of course, not every African left Africa, or got trapped in the ice age. Some people still returned to Africa. Those people trapped in the Caucasus mountains in Europe could not get sunlight on their skin, so they began loosing their melanin, and their skin color began turning white. Over many years of breeding among themselves they simply permanently became white. That's how the white race was created.

White people are black people who lost their melanin in the ice. Melanin is the chemical element that makes the skin of black people black. And lack of melanin is what makes the skin of white people white. Nothing more, nothing less.

Now, two races had evolved- One BLACK and the other WHITE. Those evolving within the ice region evolved with a different philosophy of life, while those evolving in Africa and the tropics also evolved with a different philosophy of life.

Those evolving in the ice region (white people) came from a hostile ice region where food was scarce, all they had was ice and mountains. So, naturally they must work harder and must be more inventive to meet their needs, and to do that they must be scientific in nature. Necessity is the mother of invention. They must be selfish with the little they have, they must be ready to fight one another to defend their food supply as a hungry man could come steal ones food. So, they were hostile, greedy, selfish, aggressive in nature. This is a long history and I don't want to get into all that. But, bottom line: white people would use their militaristic nature to build weapons of war that they'll later use to conquer the easy going peaceful black man in Africa and others in the tropics. I'll get to that soon.

On the contrary, the people evolving in the tropics had easy access to food as we lived in forested region. We didn't need a lot of science to meet our needs. The saying "low hanging fruits" would be the best way to describe our surroundings at that time. We were naturally blessed with food!. Your maize drop on the ground, next you see it germinates to a corn. You put food on fire you go to the stream to catch fish to cook your meal. What could such a people do other than spend the rest of their days being happy? So, as a result we naturally had to spend more time singing, dancing, telling stories, drawing, painting, all that's arts. We were peaceful, kind, welcoming, humane.

Note: It's not that we weren't doing science. But, even our scientists were using their skills in building pyramids, learning mathematics, and other things of sort, but not building weapons of war. If we chose to build nuclear bomb, the hand that built the Egyptian pyramid could have built nuclear bomb to annihilate Europeans before their history even began. But, we didn't. Instead we built schools in Timbuktu, we carved our history on stone and sculptured some on bronze- Benin and Ife bronze works comes to mind.

Europeans didn't evolve that way. They evolved with "winner takes it all" mentality. If you want to understand the psychology of Caucasians, watch the video below. Its a presentation by a British professor of history explaining the origin and nature of white people. He was being brutally honest from the beginning. However, he started lying later, praising the white race. I' am an advanced learner and knows such whenever I see it, so if anybody want to watch, don't watch beyond 13:00, cause as I said he started embellishing the story from then onward. I'll encourage you to watch it to correct your impression of black people being uncivilized or lazy.

White people did not bring us ANYTHING good!. Before our unfortunate contact with Europeans, we already spoke and wrote in our own languages. Writing was invented in Africa. The first form of writing is called hieroglyphs and it started from (Kemet) the area known today as Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia.

The first universities in the world were located in Africa, not in Europe!!. The first university on earth was located in North Sudan (Waset/Thebes/Luxor) where the Egyptian mystery system was studied by both Africans and foreign students from Greek, Arabia, and Asia. It was in this school that people like Pythagoras (Greek Mathematician) studied science. However, the only remnant of this temple are antique pillars. But, there're other surviving universities. Some of the schools are still there, and they are:- Al-Azhar university in Egypt (North East Africa), Sankore university in Timbuktu Mali (West Africa), Fez university in Morocco (North West Africa). These three universities predates any university in Europe and the world. Indeed, Europeans and Asians studied in Africa and they said so. Pythagogas wrote that he studied Mathematics in Africa along with many other Greek intellectuals of old. In the face of hard evidence though, Europeans eventually acknowledge the first university in the world was in Africa. See Guinness World Records for the oldest university in the world at http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/oldest-university

What they don't even know is that Sankore university in Mali predates Fez university in Morocco. In fact, nobody knows how many of such universities that were scattered all over Africa before slavery, but forgotten by history.

The first countries in the world to mine gold were Ghana, Mali, Egypt, Sudan and later South Africa. It is we Africans that gave gold its value i.e we were the first people on earth to make gold a precious item. Long before Europeans arrived Africa, we already had the technology to locate, mine, melt, refine, and mold gold and silver to all forms of shapes. Africa was so wealthy that the official seat of the Ashanti king in ancient Ghana was made of raw gold. Ancient Ghana, Ashanti kingdom and Egyptians buried their kings/Pharaohs designing the caskets with gold. We had enough gold to bury together with our dead!!. Ghana today still maintain an elaborate burial ceremony spending thousands of dollars building caskets, though its no longer adorned with gold.

We Africans already had our own established economic system, elites, rulers, scholars, language, commerce, e.t.c established thousands of years before Europeans arrived. We had our own governments, names, schools, everything. Nothing was lacking!!. The wealthiest man in the world in the 1300's was Mansa Musa from Mali, not Bill Gates, not Ortega, not Warren Buffet. The wealthiest people on earth from 5,000 BC to 12th century were all Africans. By this time in human history Europeans (except Greece) haven't even learned to read and write not to talk of building ships to sail the world.

Mansa Musa was so wealthy that he made a trip to Mecca and shared gold to everybody along his way. By the time he returned from Mecca to Mali, he has given out so much gold that he crashed the price of gold worldwide. He gave out so much gold that gold lost it's value in the market. There was gold everywhere!

It was this story of our lavish lifestyle in Africa at that time that attracted the attention of Europeans. News of wealth and riches in far away country had always enticed humans throughout history. Its the same way Mexicans today hear of wealth in USA and want to get into America by all means, same way Africans today are flocking into Europe, because of hope of better life. That's how Europeans wanted to get into Africa by all means beginning from the 12th century, because we had a higher standard of living over here and they wanted to come to Africa so they could live a better life.

Suddenly, Africa became a destination for European merchants starting from the 1400's. The first contact between Africa and Europe was gold and cash crop trade. It wasn't slavery or how to colonize us. Slavery and colonialism came much later[b] when Europeans saw for themselves how blessed and innocent[/b] the African people were. They saw we were very kind, welcoming, humane, and they were later to abuse our hospitality taking over our gold mines, sending our kings to exile, enslaving many. In fact, the motive for slavery and colonialism was not racism, it was ENVY. When you're on top there's envy...........Nas.

And, how did they do that?

The subjugation of black people did not happen due to intellectual superiority of white people over Africans. Rather, it happened by act or war and military might. You fight war with weapons and those who have weapons of war always wins a war. White people evolved building war weapons to war against both themselves and others. Please, see below video. It shows how Europeans forcefully subdued harmless and unarmed native people everywhere they went. This documentary is generally about gold, so only from 30:00 to 44:35 is relevant here.

How Europeans subdued and colonized native people

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SicQs8Y9eY

If you watch the above video, and understand this post step-by-step, you'll understand we were conquered because the branch of the human family originating from the caucus mountains evolved with a different philosophy of life that included taking what does not belong to them. Secluded in the ice region for thousands of years, white people evolved being xenophobic, greedy, anarchist, militaristic in nature. They were later to use their military nature to conquer NOT ONLY AFRICA, but also Asia and the Americas. They also conquered China, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, South America. These cultures; like Africa were all largely peaceful people living their lives.
I was watching a video of where the Ooni of Ife was explaining this same phenomenon of black spreading from Africa to other places in the world a few days ago.
Makes sense actually.

6 Exercises That You Turn Your Dog's Walk Into a Total-Body Workout for You


There are plenty of really good reasons to get a dog(think: adulting, companionship, rescue, parenthood training, or just the inability to resist a totally heart-melting face).
Not like you need more convincing, but owning a fur baby can also improve your health. Studies show dogs can help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol; reduce depression, stress, and anxiety; motivate you to exercise; and even help you lose weight. It's like the gym buddy you've always wanted... only way cuter.
"A dog may just be your greatest workout partner ever," says Adam Rosante, strength and mental performance coach and dog lover who trains with his pup every morning. "There are no plans to be made or broken. No dramatic stories to commiserate over. Just a hard-working, fun-loving buddy to keep pace by your side. In fact, if you're willing to put in a little effort and consistency on the front end, your dog can actually hold you accountable to your workouts."
He's not kidding: Rosante trained his dog by placing a toy and leash by the front door next to his sneakers. After two weeks of a consistent morning routine, his dog now has a habit of waking him up on days Rosante tries to sleep in.
"Dogs are highly trainable," he says. "They just need love, positive reinforcement, and consistency from you. If your dog isn't used to a routine like this, give it time, have patience, and be consistent."

This picture is taken in the early 1900s at the Wyndham prison. Wyndam is the oldest and northernmost town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It was established in 1886 as a result of a gold rush at Halls Creek. However the circumstances and the story behind this picture remain unknown.

Photos are not taken, they are made, and only the best of photographers will understand this. Anyone can take a photo, but to catch a photo at the right time to express the right emotion comes down to talent. These photographers have made their photos bring out a bundle of emotion; they have managed to express the brutality this world has managed to lash out on each other. They have captured such moments that one would think, what have we done or are still doing to each other?? Man has been the worst predator, stooped down to the dignity of animals to kill in the face of justice and greed. What these award winning photographers have shown us will certainly prove that.

you really believe that black men are the origin of human race just like the Leakey's said.so if melanin made the whites what made the Mongoloids,Melanie?
what of the Indians all over Asia and American continents.simply put that no man was there when it all started just like Lucky Dube famously said and no amount of forged scientific evidence will prove that humans were originally black.

My question exactly! what about the red Indians and Asians?? what made them??.... Interesting piece I must say

blacks were and have being more spiritually advanced than the whites. we had fought wars and conquered nations thousands of years before the nascent of white civilization. war and hegemony brings nothing but destruction to this dear home called earth, this the blacks discoverred and evolved. thing is the black man had beaten his sword into a plowshare years before the whiteman understood what war is. we evolved above warring, above bothering for what to eat, above hegemony and class—we had understood the superflous providence of nature and the divine law of balance. the white has always being on our trail and they know it. indeed we are light years ahead
AmuEwu:
If blacks where already everywhere across the world like you claim, and had ships thousands of years before the Caucasians, I expect that they should have been a little more advanced. I expect that they should also have been able to defend themselves with these things and it should not have been easy for the Europeans to come into their lands and conquer them. Not only conquer them, but also go to their '' brothers '' lands as well and conquer them also.

Please explain to me how the Europeans whereas able to trump up blacks that where light years ahead of them according to your theory
