Columbus himself stated Africans came to America before him

OP,

First sentence of the article, and the way he's framing the information is a bit offensive.
"They don't teach you about your history, and that keeps you from reaching your potential?"

Hell No ! People are still writing such nonsense in 2019?


Black scholars have been discussing and debating this exact topic for decades. Most notably, as was pointed out earlier, Ivan Van Sertima.
You should look up IVS lectures on youtube, if you're not going to read the book.

I've heard most of the information and sides of the topic, and I don't believe that West Africans sailed back and forth the Atlantic. I think that many voyages were launched sailing West, and that perhaps some Africans landed in the Americas and were absorbed into the gene pool of which ever group they encountered.

The dark skinned ethnic groups in the Western Hemisphere when Columbus landed were not Africans.

I think that's a lie too. Columbus was Italian, I think they were calling them indigents or indigenous in Spanish. Plus India was called Hindustan in 1492.

No he thought he reached India because he thought the world was smaller then it was.
Here is a translation of his journal if you care to read about it. He says he is in India several times

It's widely been noted that the first inhabitants of America were from the Polynesian race.

These people cultivated the land for thousands of years. In between this time the Vikings, Moors, Egyptians and West Africans were all trading with the original inhabitants centuries before the CACs caught wind.

The reason why there are ancient Muslim scriptures etched into rocks on land is that they were already trading with them.

It's a fact that Columbus only found the passage to the Americas because the Egyptians had a map of how they were trading spices with them which he used for personal gain.

This is fact.

Exactly, they were Polynesians.

Crakkka where you think those people originally came from?

everybody descended from africa even whites..
are you going to say christopher columbus was african?
just because a people are "black" doesn't mean they are african...

 

[Freedman]

I could see them reaching the Americas and trading but IDK about that being the first to settle the continents

Indian scholar, Rafique Jairazbhoy appears to have been right when he wrote: “The black began his career in America not as slave but as master.”

Straight fiddacts.

 

[Sauce Dab]

You barking up the wrong tree homie.

There is no proof people in the americas came from guinea specifically, if there is post the evidence.

 

[The Fade]

DIdnt they find african artifacts in a cave in Michigan

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

I posted about this before trying to explain that every black person in America didn't come here on a slave ship and nikkas who haven't opened a book in years unless we counting restaurant menus all went on the attack to defend the false history.

nikkas don't want to educate themselves, they just want to complain.

 

[newworldafro]

Idk the answer to all the questions and counter arguments, but I know public schools hid plenty of knowledge from us.

Lot of history books wish I had read as a kid, since they were sitting around the house, but I felt they were to old looking...and they were.....I literally judged books by their covers and lack of newness........
