jorion: Those are no Black men those are whitemen in Black man's skin. That can't be said about the likes of Thomas Sankara. "There's nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the lords of the world, they will ACT like lords of the world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now."

jorion: Am supporting your point that there is no reason why a black man should be stupid because their is nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Very well expressed in Daniel Quinn's words I have quoted above. In a nut shell, we need to start telling ourselves about the stories of contemporary Africans who have and are striving for the greatness of Africa, of humanity. That was why I made an example of Thomas Sankara. And infact Gaddafi fits into this realm too and many others |

WORDWORLD:White men in black skin,? Lol bros no dey make me laugh. There's evil everywhere but the black man is evil to himself. It's true that the black race had systems and even developed a form of writing but have you ever asked yourself why those systems and writings have ceased to exist today? Don't tell me the whitemen influenced them India whom were colonized by white men still maintains their Hindi writing, Chinese maintains their mandarin, Japanese, Korea, Arabs, Russians all have their systems of writing till today. Some of these nations contributed next to nothing in the early development of the world but today, they have learned all the technologies and are doing wonderfully well with them. Why is there no surviving African system of writing?, why are the black Africans still unable to join the technological revolution? Why is electricity still a rocket science in Nigeria? Why is no African nation represented in the ISS? Why are many parts of Africa still very much under developed? Yet some people want me to believe that Africans were doing well in development if not for the whites. When we are able to answer these questions, we will find out that if not that we were docile and lacking in ideas yet unwilling to change, the whites would have nothing on us. PS: Those yapping about Benin kingdom, Timbuktu, the ancient Egypt etc. Please where are they today or did they retrogress? That someone built a pyramid doesn't mean we shouldn't develop and build skyscrapers. I believe there's is a standard that the world development conforms to, if you are still riding bicycle when others are flying jets, that means you will be left behind in your state of mediocrity. The Greeks, Romans, Mayans etc had ancient civilizations but are today trying to embrace the new civilization. We Africans should drop this ancient civilization issue and embrace the technological revolution otherwise we would be stuck in the past blaming the white race. 5 Likes 1 Share |

derealj: You are not making sense. On one hand, you are praising the Asians for keeping their core cultural attributes and on the other hand, you are praising others for dropping their ancient cultural beliefs. This is a pure case of cognitive dissonance. Choose a path and stick with it. Then you may have a discussion. But kudos to you for at least knowing that Africans had some form of writing.

jorion:Your intelligent quotient is dangerously low. Culture and system is very different from technological advancement. What I said was that The Asians did well by maintaining their system and at the same time embracing tech development. The Romans and Greeks knew that it was not feasible to be stuck with outdated civilization. Africans on the other hand lost their culture and system, refused to advance technologically and are stuck with their ancient Civilization mentality. What I praised was the people that maintained their system and embraced tech advancement, and also people that dropped their ancient civilization mentality. What's difficult to understand here? |

Don't jump to demonize your own race because you feel inferior to the white man, it is not the fault of the negro race. With that being said, Africans had the largest gold artifacts in the world. We mined bronze, corper, had entensive salt reserves. Produced the largest quantities of palm oil in the world. Had a library, 2 libraries on this continent before any was built in Europe.

You don't need to teach me their history, me that wrote them there know their history more than you do so let's not go there. At least the Greeks still have their letterings and the Roman numerals are still very much in use. But you trying to deviate the attention from Africa still wants to make me question your IQ.

derealj: Did you even know that from 1000 to around the period of colonization, Africa was the highest exporter of (1) gold: all those jewelries you see with the queen of England, some were gifted to her and others were stolen from Africa. Mansa Musa on his way to mecca gave out so much gold that the price of gold dropped worldwide (2) salt: the equivalent of oil around 1000 years ago. (3) the largest producers of palm oil. In fact, it was this export that kicked off the industrial revolution and led to the abolishment of slave trade. HOW COME YOU GUYS ONLY KNOW ABOUT THE SLAVE TRADE BUT NOT THE OTHER TRADES? Do you even know how many sea ports were located in the west coast of Africa alone. Ehhhhhhhh. My people will continue to perish. Go to European museums, half of the art works are from Africa.

jorion:Now I know that you don't even understand what I'm saying. Trade, language, tradition, way of life, natural resources etc are nothing but nature at play. Hell Africa started with trade by barter just like every other place and later moved to cowries. Every race traded, had tradition, had a language, a way of life etc. It doesn't make you special. What made others special was that they used those resources and made something special out of it. Tell me what Africa achieved with her resources for the betterment of the world. The resources in Africa was so much that it attracted the westerners yet nothing to show for it. The westerners even used the resources to develop their place and Africa was just there mopping. Now imagine if it was the westerners were the indigenes of Africa imagine what they could have achieved with such amount of resources. Oga no make me vex o. Africans were too dormant for my liking. |

As for me, all this is just blame game and an excuse for incompetency. The whites are not the one who has been looting us, no! Its your fellow black man. Forget all this Africa had this , Africa had that. The key word here is DEVELOPMENT. How has Africa contributed to today's world. a simple way to settle this, remove all the things the white has invented and then replace it with what has originated from Africa. Now compare dat realm to the one we have now, which is better? The only problem of Africa(esp Nigeria) is Africans. We as citizens have to hold our leaders accountable. Look at how Americans are protesting over the death of George Floyd, putting their lives at risk in the midst of covid19. How many times have our police killed innocent citizens? Uncountable How many times have we protested? None, I repeat none! Let's focus on the present and stop the blame game. Only then can we rise 3 Likes |
