No one denies the achievements of the Egyptians, but white people sure as shite didn't "steal" all of our advancements from Blacks and take credit for them - though you do keep trying to give us credit for slavery, which was definitely invented in N. Africa and Near East Asia.

And the truly disturbing things that go on in Africa to this day are not our fault. Get some accountability, and then maybe we really can honestly have one of those "conversations" I hear so much about.

Well, to be fair, the North African caucausoid peoples enslaved Sub-Saharan Africans (that's the word you're looking for) as well. And they enslaved each other.
But enslaving your enemies was sort of the order of the day for, I dunno, most of history.

But educate me, I'm interested. What sorts of technological advances were stolen from the sub-Saharan African peoples?

No doubt there is some accountability but when you factor in the 100 of years of oppression and stunting of development its a game of catch up. As time passes things will get better bit most African countries were left with many unstable governments after the Europeans left.

Hold up...Africa is the "cradle of civilization", right?

They had a huge head start on everyone else. So...by your reasoning, why didn't Sub-Saharan Africa develop into a mighty world power, dominating the sciences and wowing the "lesser peoples" with their incredible technologically advanced prowess?

Okay, how about we start with Anything then. Should be easy to name five, no, three technological advances originating in sub-Saharan Africa, right?

Are you seriously comparing sub-saharan Africans to the ancient Egyptians? I'll say it again, you are IGNORANT.

BECAUSE THE WE'RE COLONIZED AND ENSLAVE BY EUROPEANS. That's like asking why blacks in America don't own bank institutions like J.P. Morgan when they were here in the late 1800's like whites.

A reference to a 70's National Lampoon that probably won't be understood so I deleted it.

Maybe. But they weren't doing much to advance it.

Especially without written language to allow for the accumulation of knowledge.

But today, to hear an African leader talk, it's all so charitable. Which contrasts entirely with their actions.

"Democrat" really fits.

To be fair, the Nubians of Upper Egypt were.

BTW: Nubia is an awesome black lab name.

Read the question again, friend.


Why, with tens of thousands of years head start on EVERY OTHER CIVILIZATION, didn't Sub-Saharan Africa develop into the most powerful Civilization known to man?

Why didn't THEY go around and colonize the world and enslave "white people" and invent things?
