F'gohan asks: "When will you ever just accept the fact that blacks were capable of creating civilization and did so many centuries before the whites arrived?"
Answer: When there is a shred of evidence to prove it. As of yet, there is none, nada, N.O.N.E., not one iota of empirical data to suggest that blacks ever created a social system that is any more complex than a loose grouping of a few families.
F'gohan, I truly believe that everyone's opinion is entitled to some respect - up to a point - but when you make blatantly false statements with NOTHING to support them, your opinions are no longer entitled to even a smidgen of respect.
Blacks are failures: culturally, morally, economically, and intellectually. To even question this fact is beyond ignorant. There is no archaeological or other historical evidence to suggest that black Africans ever lived any way other than as hunter-gatherers. In fact, it is the women "gatherers" in African tribal cultures that are responsible for providing over 80% of the calories consumed by the people. The male "hunters" -- a joke of a term, if ever there was -- are generally inept and only bring home game when they find a sick or wounded animal.
And let's not forget "bushmeat" -- Africans will eat anything that moves, even monkeys. That is a revolting practice not fit for the human species, and in my opinion, it constitutes cannibalism!
"but when you make blatantly false statements with NOTHING to support them, your opinions are no longer entitled to even a smidgen of respect."
You are just completely ridiculous.It has become obvious to me that you simply hate blacks,and I cannot convince you otherwise.

What on earth is wrong with you?Did I not just provide you with that information?Look it up if you do not believe me.How you can just ignore this info is just beyond me.
Your ignorance is mind boggling.
"There is no archaeological or other historical evidence to suggest that black Africans ever lived any way other than as hunter-gatherers."
Yes there is,and you are ignoring it.

Theres a link,although I dont know why i bother.You wont believe it.
"The male "hunters" -- a joke of a term, if ever there was -- are generally inept and only bring home game when they find a sick or wounded animal."
Good grief.And you seriously claim to have a degree in history?
I'll just give one example.Have you ever heard of the Zulu?They were able to hold off heavily armed british soldiers for years on end with nothing but spears and arrows until they were finally beaten.
Also,I do not know where you got that bologna about male hunters being inept.Thats just ridiculous.The women are responsible for gathering grown foods.Why dont you actually learn a little about african culture before you go throwing out these false accusations?I suggest you do this,because unlike you,I actually have many close people I know who are actually african.They know way more than you do.
You even said before that that certain african tribes were hunter gatherers.How could these hunter gatherers survive if their hunters were inept?Wouldnt they have died out?
Have you ever heard of the masai people of kenya?Did you know that to become men,they had to hunt a lion and kill it often with nothing more than a spear?Sounds pretty adept to me.
Heres a source,since you wont believe me:

"Blacks are failures: culturally, morally, economically, and intellectually"
You obviously just hate blacks,then.Pure and simple.Your hatred wont get you anywhere,but you can soak in it if you want.
The fact is,every one of those black accomplishments i posted has been proven through scientific and archaeological studies,and just about every major scholar,black and white,is behind them.But you simply ignore it.That is your choice,then.
