Apropos to the Critical Race Theory debate.

Who will be the first to wonder & ask why was Columbo trying to get to a shitHOLE country like India in the first place??? :whome:

While he brings up some interesting points, some I have wondered about as well, the truth, if there is any to be found, will be in the DNA..

The ppl present & in the past will have all the evidence one needs to come to conclusions~ so one has to wonder why that isn't mentioned..

If it were true, there'd be tangible evidence of it. The guy talks about papyrus boats. Papyrus is not very common in West Africa, and not indigenous to the area around Morocco and Algeria at all as he showed routes for these boats on a map.

There's not one written record on either side of the Atlantic that confirms such exchanges.

If the boats mostly drifted to the Americas, how did they return?

Drifting to the Americas is possible from Africa, the return would take you towards the British Isles.

Another thing that guy did was focus on those aspects of various Pre-Columbian cultures that he could find similarities to African cultures while ignoring everything else. This is a typical conspiracy theory method: Selective evidence that supports the theory while claiming everything else is irrelevant or wrong.

:laugh:

Like all little sheet wearers with delusions of grandeur, you just lap up the bilge that Sowell vomits forth....his systematic denials and excuses for how deeply America's historically congenital racism affect our society tells you exactly what you want to hear...and keeps your subliminal bigot zone safe. Pity you don't have the courage or intellect to counter the article I linked.

Blather on, my National Front friend.

That why I have so little time for you these days, anybody that opposes your blather is automatically labelled as a fascist. Doris might buy your bullshit but previous few otherwise.

As the reader can clearly see, our frustrated UK clown can't even muster a logical, fact based retort or refutation from my last take down link of his toke icon Sowell. All Primavera can do is just double down of his bluff and bluster, sadly thinking that no one but the man he sees in the mirror is buying his BS. Classic.

The readers can clearly see that you're an idiot and not worth taking seriously, hence I don't.

And remember, the slave trade happened because you had slavery with the continent....a wrong that was capitalized on by foreigners. Two wrongs never make a right. Just so you know.

Africa is a large continent, so not surprisingly, it has a wide variety of cultures. However, it seemed to peak early. It is true that the Ancient Egyptians predate any significant European culture. And there are other cultures in Africa that achieved similar levels of advancement. North Africa, in particular, produced many advancements in science and math.

The bulk of cultures in sub-Saharan Africa, however, were rather primitive by the time that Europeans started engaging in the slave trade. By the time that the Scramble for Africa began, Europeans had a major technological and cultural lead on them.

It just goes to show that advancement is not a linear progression. Europe experienced something like this when the Roman Empire fell. The Islamic World experienced this when the Ottoman Empire fell. Cultural advancement comes in cycles, and all civilizations eventually fall.

The Atlantic Slave Trade was a natural extension of the slave trade that Arabs had begun with warring tribes in Africa. Europeans just expanded upon this trade many times over. Even today, there is an African slave trade, which is largely based in Libya, and many of the customers are Arabs, but others are Africans themselves.

I'm not arguing over what makes something "right." I'm only explaining how things come to be.

Noticing differences between races isn't a matter of deciding who is superior. It is merely a matter of noticing differences in averages between groups. Every group has its strengths and weaknesses. It's no different from making distinctions between different groups of other species. For humans, cultural differences are sometimes an extension of physical differences.

You're not "explaining" anything....merely regurgitating a lame attempt used by bigots and racists with delusions of pseudo-intellectualism that I derailed using simple, easily checked facts and logic....of which you try an side step the main point of a culture that predated and influenced (if not guided to a degree) the European cultures you value so highly as a "superior" development. Now, all you'll do hence is just repeat yourself ad nausea in various ways....but the objective reader and the chronology of the posts will always be your folly. Carry on.

Then STFU with your stupidity and don't respond, or IA me.

It's like this toodles...you got your ass handed to you (again) and you don't like it...so you just spew sour grapes and try to run away with the last word. Please do, because your parroting my addressing the readers is yet another example of your intellectual impotence. Buh-Bye!
