This whole thread is bullshit, and I am beginning to doubt the popularity of this forum. Instead of respecting the found items, they drivel over who's black and who's white. I just wonder, when will the white man get over himself? Is it untill the moon drifts away from the Earth, the whole thing is becoming too gay on this forum. Now I am not directing this at anybody but they know themselves. White people are taking advantage of other rather brilliant white people, then to claim the whole race is superior. Its not as if every single white man in history was intelligent, no, but knowledge is contagious and people easily fool themselves to be intelligent...just because they see other people like them. One of the most advanced language in human terms is english, but english did not become what it is over night, it took thousands of years to perfect it, such feat was so great that everybody decided to adopt the idea. It wasn't invented by all white people, it was invented by a few, and even that took forever. Of cause there have been many black inventors and mathematicians in history, but we should also remember that "all ideas have their time and use", maybe the time was against black inventions. Barox max will tell you black people never built a civilization, who the hell is he to know anything about black people and culture. The bullshit society you guys have in America is brainwashing him. They have been many civilizations in Africa. For one thing, all the people in West Africa are the Nok people, a civilization as far back as the Aztecs in America. The lower Nok was the Oyo kingdom, it was ruled by the house of Ife( "house of love" in English)which was the most powerful empire in all of central Africa. The upper part was more for free ranging, which eventually became influenced by Arabs, and then became the Sokoto kingdom. They were a civilized society that rivaled any society in its time. The portugese went into that region in search of trade and spread of discoveries, for some reason black africa's problem started when they discovered more knowledge. Right after the portuguese, there was chaos, divisions, and envy; the same situation in Africa today. But many states in Africa have managed to preserve wonderful art and culture...but the stupid fucks are still at it today. So there you are, a brief history for the ignoramous. If you ask me, whites can be equal to blacks, or maybe they shouldn't even be compared in the first place...maybe not. Whites are generaly good at some things and blacks are good at some things, but you can never under estimate the power of brainwashing, socio economic class, change of events, and denial. In general, I think whites are superior per 100 human, but you would never have had people like Ronadhino, pele, and michael jordan without Africa.
