Why are predominately black countries mostly poor? in your opinion

[Poitier]

1400s?

Europeans were still taking Ls at the tail end of The Crusades and Southern Europe was still under Moorish rule

The nok were making iron before anyone. But didn't make weapons. Thats during BC times BTW. Are they not advanced because they didn't have the thought to make weapons of it instead they made high arts.

 

[Blackking]

And Africa which had dozens of mosque where learning took place had lower literacy rates than a place where none existed

why would Mosques have anything to do with anything?

I always though black muslims where just historically c00ns who only brought harm to their people

 

[Blackking]

i said egypt had little to no impact on the western parts and southern parts of africa, there is no evidence of there even being contact between them

wow

 

[theworldismine13]

How is that a contradiction. Do you know the definition? Europeans were behind. Got taught. Used their new found knowledge to attack other countries not limited to African ones. Over hundreds of years they finally conquered Africa. Egypt wasn't behind it was way out in front but that didn't stop people from conquering the same people who taught them in the first place. So tell me where the contradiction is?

thats fine, as long as you dont have a problem with me being specific and saying that the lack of literacy, being behind in technology and the lack financial systems is what allowed the eruopeans to conquer africans

im just pointing out why africans were conquered, the contradiction comes when you have a problem with me pointing out the mistakes africans made or pointing out the knowledge the euorpeans had

You're incorrect in all your points..

but moving on..

Would you say that one of the main mistakes was civilizing Europeans..... and a second mistake was allowing them to trade in Africa in the first place....
and a third mistake was not unifying to destroy these invaders(like the haitians eventually did) before the full force of colonization happened?

 

[theworldismine13]

wow

what do you mean wow, what contacts were there between egyptians and west africans?

and i mean black egypt, not hellenized or arabized or islamic egypt

You contradict yourself. Europe was mostly illiterate and poor.

 

[Poitier]

Read up on the Wet Sahara and Kingdom of Yam. And when Meroe fail, many Nile Valley people fled West. Contact was well established.

well i thought you guys had said that europeans got knowledge from muslims and asians, we arent moors or asians, so we didnt teach the european anything

it was definitely a mistake to start trading with europeans and it was definitely a mistake to not unify agaisnt the european

 

[theworldismine13]

You contradict yourself. Europe was mostly illiterate and poor.

compared to modern times yeah, compared to africa in the 1400's it was literate, the 1400's is when the european came to west africa, that was the time when the printing press was being invented or was being stole from china depending on which version you believe

 

[Poitier]

we arent moors

but we are Malians so wrong

compared to modern times yeah, compared to africa in the 1400's it was literate, the 1400's is when the european came to west africa, that was the time when the printing press was being invented or was being stole from china depending on which version you believe

and it took 100s of years for it to make an impact

You aren't Asian or a moor. My ancestors are Moroccan I may have some close connections if I got back far enough.

ive read that theory but im not aware of any evidence to support it, its not impossible, but the key problem is that when you are talking about meroe, you are talking about 2500 years ago, that is 2000 years before the european, im not sure how that would be relevant to the discussion

there arent traces of egyptian technology, egytpian goods or egyptian writing in west africa, that is the point im getting at, if there are let me know
