Greatest things black countries produced list

[Vert1]

The point of this thread is to create a big list of the best things predominantly black countries have produced. This quote got me thinkin...

647. Look up the list of the most populous countries in the world and you will understand the "race" and "culture" abysses. Indonesia has almost the same population as the US, but isn't producing anything. Dozens of countries with hundreds of millions of people each, and you never hear of a single good thing coming out of them; Nigeria has 170 million people and all they ever make is spam. What do all these people do all day? Their populations are so worthless they can't even be used for so much as even soap. The sweatshops we put them in are a gift from heaven for them, the slavery we give them is a gift.

I'm curious what Nigeria has produced that had a big impact on the world.

I'll start off:
Jamaica: MUSIC - Dancehall, Dub, Reggae, Ska, Rocksteady, etc.

Well not much in recent times, you have to understand power ebbs and flows and currently most black nations are at a serious ebb. I suppose the single greatest thing that ever came out of Africa (primarily Eastern Africa), which is more important than anything is writing and a way to preserve that writing. Imagine if genius couldn't be preserved? That is the bedrock of civilizations itself because we no longer forgot things and were able to have continuity and go on from there.........your welcome world.

What is your source for that? When I google writing I get Mesopotamia...Maybe this discussion should be in The Root.

Because writing came out the kushyte/Nubia empire. They found hieroglyph that predates Egyptian on some rocks in Sudan.

Exactly and from there it spread into the Mid East (Phoenicia and Mesopotamia) and eventually India and towards the rest of Asia and Greece and the Western world.

Well phonecia is credited for inventing an alphabet when other ones used symbols
