ROSSIKE: I'll just put this comment down to your unschooled ignorance.

Educate yourself on Egypt here: https://www.nairaland.com/326177/tomb-art-ancient-egypt-black



Ever heard of the Timbuktu Manuscripts?

Ever heard of the Nsibidi writing script?

Ever heard of the Ajami script?

Ever heard of the Adinkra script?

Ever heard of the Ethiopic script?

I mean, if you really are an African, I pity your gross historical ILLITERACY. I've no idea how we now produce dumb-to-the-bone, ignorant wastrels like you with no knowledge whatsoever of their past. You are an object of pity. A lost and roaming, pitiful excuse for an African. God help you.

Timbuktu and Ajami are Arabic based like Persian. and you can hardly call Nsibidi and Adinkra a full writing system since they did not record much with them.

Psychedelia: Then, Africans should play their own part, source funds from their wealthy elite, and build media houses they can use to push their own propaganda, tell their own stories and paint themselves in positive ways to the outside world; instead of leaving outsiders to define them.
China, at the moment, could give two shhitts about what CNN, BBC and the rest of those charlatans have to say about them, cuz they've got their own developed media houses to counter the bullshhit from those Occidental crooks. They keep spreading their tentacles to Africa, giving the West more reasons to sweat with each passing day.

Instead of complaining about unflattering portrayals, Africa should find her own voice and tell her OWN stories.

china is one big propaganda LovePeddler

onila: Everybody should try visit a place called Omo valley. This is where humanity started from, the place is dense, filled with rivers, lakes and has the most exotic beautiful people whom all are still living like they did a thousand years ago. Certainly some of the most beautiful Africans.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]btw it is not that each Nation worshipped "solely" one God. It is just that they were more devoted to the particular God.

Even today in many Pagan natons, you will see one city more devoted to one God/one version of God.

However to completely ignore other Gods is not right and not possible. (in the same religion)[/quote]indeed like Athens(Athena)

carr101: Just face it, its quite clear no religion condones women...

KidStranglehold: Dude the Opium Wars happened after the industrial revolution.

it seems so lol anyway it does not change the Africans are not advancing as fast as there Asian counterparts some of them were also European colonies. making Europe seem "uncivilized" outside Rome and Greece is not going to change the state of Africa.

KidStranglehold: @TerryCarr

Most of the pre-Columbus people of the New world were in the stone age and were not even as advanced as most African states/kingdoms/empires. Minus the Aztec's and even so they were not even in the bronze or Iron age. Lets not forget old world diseases which the pre-Columbus people had no immunity to. Conquering the New world was not that difficult for the Europeans and they accidentally found it in the first place, they were originally looking for India. They were trying to find another route because the Ottomans weren't allowing them, which reinstates that Europeans again were not sh*t until the industrial revolution. Again before the industrial revolution, Europe/Europeans weren't really a might. They couldn't even penetrate into Africa because certain African kingdoms. Especially African kingdoms of those of the Fulani, Mandinkas, Somalis, Ashanti's,etc. It only can during the industrial revolution that they were able to steamroll all over Africa. The same with China, India, Southeast Asia and certain parts of the middle east. Before that Europe couldn't even touch China...

you never heard of the Opium Wars?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars#European_trade_with_Asia

plus it depend of the European nation some were strong others were weak.

Motlalentoa: Europeans knew how to use shields and shıt yet they lost to the Zulus. Anyway, less distorted history "lessons" and more African images and sounds, please!

alanmwene: France is multicultural but not that mixed!There are ways more mixed races in uk than in france!The north Africans(Algerians,moroccans,etc...) who are the largest foreign community in francce rarely marry outside their own race.Blacks who represent less than 2% of French population account for 9 out of 10 mixed kids.The same thing can be seen in uk!Anyway,frenchs don't have the right to complain about multiculturalism coz they created it.T[b]hey were the ones who imported cheap labour from north and west Africa to help rebuild france after the second world war.[/b]

sounds like what angola and other african nations doing

KidStranglehold: LOL...What world?

So much of Western Civilization is derived from Eastern(mostly) and African origins...Its not even a Joking matter. Europeans were not innovators or the Worlds saving light as they have most Americans and most people of the world believing. Their culture is rather Barbaric and static. Nothing Innovative other than a few, very slim exceptions.

Its sad really that very few people actually know the lies and propaganda of Western Civilization and the Lies that Whites feed the world, pretending they were some kind of God sent saviors to mankind.

Innovators...LOL...These people didn't even know how to bathe and utilize proper Hygine.

Their time to shine really came during the industrial revolution when they had an advantage over everyone else.


Neolithic Revolution

Africa has yet to ''Industrialize'' with South Africa being the first and only one which doesn't count as it was the British who did it.

I'm sorry for being ruthless, but its the truth. If you study history in full detail like I do then you'll know that Europe/Europeans were the the worlds saving grace like try to tell everyone. I'm just tired of people over hyping Europe...The only reason why they "control this world" is due to them industrializing first before everyone else and heck most of Europe didn't like Eastern Europe.

unlike a lot of Africans. Europeans seem to take pride of their "uncivilized" tribal culture.

KidStranglehold: I find this ironic....When the British first entered the area of Nigeria, they were AMAZED at the advanced metal worked art of the Benin people. So amazed that they stole them.

The Europeans even said the Benin artwork was on par with those of[b] Ancient Greece and Rome[/b]. Yet these same Nigerians think European culture is superior.

indeed it would have Bee interesting in Benin been independent

KidStranglehold: If Africans actually did more research on their history, they wouldn't feet that way. Africans contributed WAY MORE to the world than Europeans. Europeans only really started to boom after the industrial revolution, but before that...

To show Africans have a great history, I'm going to post historic African architecture.

As the French speaking Africans that embrace France? IDK what specific nationality they were.

like what? . any way europe to over half of the world before industrial revolution happened

Fulaman198: What are you talking about? Now I know you've never been to France. France is worse than America in the way they treat black people. Just linking a few people does not mean anything. Talk to Sybellah from Ivory Coast or Thiendella from Senegal, and they will set you on the right path.

i don't get why you Africans go to Europe anyway. America maybe further a way but it is more mixed
