It's because we were the first humans to become civilized. Civilization makes people soft. Europeans on the other hand essentially lived like animals until the last 1000 years. That's why they are so vicious. The Ancient Greeks even eluded to this. They said the black Egyptians and Ethiopians to their south were too soft despite being the most intelligent people on the planet while the white Germanic tribes to their north were tough warriors despite being dumb. The Ancient Greeks considered themselves a balance of the two and thus the best.

Ol boy is jealous. But yeah it’s the lack of arrogance that allows any nonblack race to infiltrate blacks

The book teaches folks not to be prideful. But the world has been and is ruled by those who think highly of themselves.

Until blacks start inventing useful technologies that the whole world relies upon, things probably won’t change.

We already dominate sports and music. It’s time we dominate areas of creativity (which really can’t be taught - you have to be born with that talent). Blacks have it but it is often shunned by the elders because it requires unconventional thinking.

It's the main reason. Guns germs and steel is :duck:. There was already numerous advanced societies in Africa before arrival of Europeans. The whole "whites were too advanced for Africa" narrative wasnt true at all. Black people are too welcoming to outsiders which led to Africas downfall.

There are numerous examples throughout African history that shows this. The one that always sticks out to me was one of the Askias from the songhai empire had Morocco backed against the wall and could've delivered the fatal blow, but told his army not to because they're "brothers in islam":francis:. Just for Morocco to come back and help bring the end to the Songhai when they got access to better military...

No , i dont think its true. If yall recall from history class the Portuguise stopped in numerous ports from the North Western tip of Africa and rode all the way around the continenent to the Eastern shore. They almost universally got arrows shot at them everywhere they docked. The few times they disembarked, their own journals note that locals feared them as ghosts and bad omens.

This was the norm until they encountered some swahilii city states at war whom eagerly welcomed the Portuguise in exchange for guns. And the rest is history.

They did the exact same gameplan in the kingdom of the Kongo and even lost a few wars to locals. EVen once the slave trade began, It was entirely controlled by local africans and it stayed this way until infighting occured and guns were traded and history repeated itself.The brits and french follwed the same playbook, starting with the brits taking advantage of Morroco's war and the rest is history:wow:



It really is all about guns and divide and conquer. We were not that welcoming originally, it was a matter of them having something we needed badly for our goals.

Even with those Pawgs in the village, they were only welcomed because of the money they came with. If they entered the village and immediatley announced that they would buy no food, give no gifts, and hear no sob stories then they would be quickly evicted for loitering. Black people are effectively looking for benefits from white poeple, the exact same way they seek them from us.

Stop the lies. Africa was colonized because the leaders of African Nations/Empires wanted what Europeans and Arabs were selling, not because Africans were 'too friendly' and wanted 'White' women.

Quit infantilizing Africans.​
What exactly did white people have other than guns and what did Arabs have other than a book?

They were colonized because the Moorish Empire fell and Europe used it as an economic opportunity. It was an opportunity to capitalize on lands that no longer had protection. The empire was already built and trade routes already established. Europeans just took advantage of an opportunity and held it with brute force. Africa just hasn't recovered.

They also got tired of Africans dictating trade. Some people even let the colonizers in the interior and nursed them back to health when they caught malaria. It was a multitude of things
