This is another big point that a lot of people will miss.

I think blaming "Jews" for America's fuck ups is stupid; the majority of Jews I meet in America are completely normal people who, at worst, have somewhat blind allegiance to the state of Israel no matter what it does. I agree that this is bad, but I wouldn't pin the blame on "Jews" or any other broad ethnic group.

When I see the multiple parentheses used in (((them))) I don't think of Jews...

I think of the military industrial complex, and people like Dick Cheney who profit from our cluster fuck wars...

I think of the strategists who give money to "rebels", only to have them turn into the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS...

I think of the Saudi princes to bribe these strategists into pursuing these retarded strategies, allowing them to placate their religious establishment and maintain control over their population...

I think of the Zionist lobbies that own the pockets of our politicians and have made Israel a sacred cow in our media...

When I see ((())) anywhere on the forum, I don't think of Jews, I think of an unspeakably small and powerful global elite that is trying to cement its power and make even more money.

I personally think Marc Faber fed into this system hook line and sinker. Like Leonard said, there was no reason for him to even care about black people -- this is a Swiss guy living in Thailand, why the fuck would he care about black criminality in the U.S?

At best the guy just went on some autismal rant on his own accord, at worst he was paid to do so in order to increase racial tensions and get certain websites more ad revenue/page views. I'm tending towards the latter. Someone smart enough to make billions as an investor shouldn't be quite this stupid.

A divided and angry population gets Buzzfeed and HuffPo more attention, it gives the stupider elements of the right more attention, it adds to people's stress levels and concern (making pharmaceutical companies more money), it gives identity politics-based leaders more attention...the list goes on and on.

I got the information from a tiny slice of a vast six volume set of the most notable history book in human history (by Gibbon). It does in fact note that he is African (the fact that I took that as black turned out to be a false conclusion), and it also notes that he is generally considered the nail in the coffin of Rome, and that without him, Rome would've been functional and intact for a longer period of time. The only reason you now know about that emperor is because you used GOOGLE. I used a six volume set where I misread one factoid. Most of what I talked about I read about in BOOKS. If I'm talking out of my rear, what are you talking out of? Because of the sheer amount I read, I don't always recall things properly. That's how books work. You just "called out" me out for my ignorance, yet I've read over a thousand books (and I read slowly). What's your reading history like?

Edit: I didn't say that they didn't do any civilization building, but that the civilizations were either non-black, or came after outside influence. Modern technology in Africa came from outsiders, not from within. This is a more dramatic demonstration of this phenomenon.

Dude, it's fine to be wrong about some things.

But you're using your poor knowledge of history to deny the accomplishments of entire civilizations...

And then you get ass hurt when you get called out on this.

I'm "talking out of" actually living in North Africa for several months. And, unlike you, reading quite extensively about African history.

I might disagree with what nomadbrah is saying, but at least he isn't taking this emotional of a stance towards the argument...and he's actually posting links and sources instead of repeating nonsense theories that were discredited decades ago.

You said that African civilizations came after only after outside evidence. This is bad logic because, if you think about it, every civilization was birthed through the influence of another:

British, French, German, and Spanish civilizations were all the indirect result of Roman colonization -- had the Romans never invaded these areas, these civilizations would never have existed.

The Romans themselves would never have existed were it not for the influence of the Greeks.

The Khmers in Cambodia would never have existed without the influence of Hindu civilization in India.

No world civilization would have existed without the Sumerians, ancient Chinese, and ancient Indians discovering irrigation, the wheel, and other such basic inventions -- and then spreading them across the Old World.

The influence of one civilization on another does not make that other civilization necessarily inferior or worthless.

On the topic of what black Africans discovered themselves:

[Image: images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQzVvRDXyluU6FwcpMYVas...ZfrGJQgl-A]

These rock cut churches in Ethiopia were pioneered by the native people.

Same with West African architecture -- one hundred percent designed by the natives.

[Image: mosque-of-djenne-600.jpg]

Along with sculpture like this in Nigeria:

[Image: 450px-Arte_yoruba%2C_nigeria%2C_testa_da...secolo.JPG]

Along with the hundreds of thousands of manuscripts in Timbuktu -- some of the mathematical theorems discovered there in the 16th century are being taught at the university level in the west.

I will freely admit that this record is not quite as impressive as that of Europe, Asia or the Middle East -- but these are nonetheless respectable achievements and credit should be given to black Africans for producing them.

Saying that "outsiders" were responsible for these accomplishments just comes off as being wildly uninformed (at best) and being too butthurt and emotionally driven to admit that black people can do anything properly (at worst).

If anyone wants more info or examples they are free to PM me.

Sure Agastya, I'm the one who's butt-hurt. Wait a minute, who's the one throwing low grade insults around? I must admit I'm annoyed with it, but even here you describe my annoyance (with dramatic flare) by a crude high-school insult while walking back the retarded themed ones you previously made. If you can't talk about history maturely, then even being right wouldn't justify you.

All the evidence I've seen from you are pictures from the internet. At least I referenced three actual books I've read. If you really did read books about African history (cover to cover), then please share the titles.

Your examples of African achievements are rather flimsy and unimpressive.

The architecture above for example. It looks rather crude to be honest, compared to European architecture.

I looked that monstrosity up. It’s not even an ancient artifact. It was built in 1906 under the supervision of the French.

This is your top evidence for African achievement?

Faber could've phrased it better. He should've said something like "societies built by white people are far and away more stable than societies built by blacks". Although he still would've been mercilessly attacked for saying something so mild [Image: lol.gif].

Anyway, there's no need to beat a dead horse or kick people when they're down. Yes, black countries suck compared to the West. The question is what to do about it, if anything at all.

Yeah...you gotta look at things in context though. I'd argue that a lot of it had to do with culture, which has its own separate roots. To some extent climate and geology favored the evolution of tribal societies in Africa.

One big question mark is that we simply don't know how things would have turned out had Christianity become dominant in Africa rather than among the European tribes. It's entirely possible that the resulting culture would have become the dominant world society and we'd now be living in a world where we regard Europe as a frozen shithole where mentally ill white people continue to ruin their own society as we debate "black privilege".

Not entirely likely but possible. I believe that culture is more important than race in determining where societies head. Just look at the disparate outcomes between different US subcultures within the same race. Trailer park people don't enjoy much of that "white privilege" while non African American blacks tend to substantially outperform economically and socially while living here.

And look at Christian Ethiopia compared to the rest of Africa. Only part of Africa that was not colonized because they could fight off small squads of European men.

I agree with Easy_C.

Imagine if Persia had conquered Greece and Alexander lost. We would probably have another dominant and alien culture.

You mean an easy way to racially insult Jews since it encompasses about 99% of Jews. Your racism is worse than Faber's because at least he's direct with his red-pill viewpoint and accurate instead of making up conspiracy theory nonsense using coded labels to hide it.

You say it was built by the French...

And yet your quote clearly states that it was "rebuilt"...

And you're calling my argument flimsy?

The Djenne mosque is significant because it represents an entire architectural style. It was first built in 1200 A.D and allowed to fall into disrepair. The French paid for it to be restored -- by Ismaila Traore, a black Malian.

It's a style of architecture that exists all over western Africa, like here with the Sankore Madrassah:

[Image: sankore-mosque-in-timbuktu-mali-0.jpg]

or this mosque in Ghana:

[Image: 5843601-Larabanga_Mud_Mosque-0.jpg]

Now, are these buildings as intricate or advanced as the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, the Notre Dame Cathedral, or the Taj Mahal in India? Obviously not, but they still represent evidence of civilization and artistic talent.

I'm not arguing with the obvious fact that sub-Saharan civilizations were not as successful as their counterparts in India, Asia, Europe or the Middle East.

But I am arguing with the idea that black African civilizations were built by outsiders and that black Africans are incapable of building civilization in the first place.

I fully accept that Europeans have accomplished the most and have done the most for the world so far. Regardless of the fact that colonialism had some incredibly negative effects, it was a net positive for humanity in terms of technological and medical advancement.

I will, however, take issue with is tendency of some people (like our boy Laska) to claim that the legitimate achievements of other cultures just didn't happen. Or using completely incorrect evidence to suggest that black people were responsible for Rome's downfall. I think it's pathetic to refuse to accept that black Africans were capable of building civilizations on their own, regardless of how much evidence there is to the contrary.

No one on this site is going to say that all cultures have been equally successful. But to deny the legitimate accomplishments of certain cultures is pathetic.

Like WalterBlack said, thinking that more melanin = stupidity is an autistic way of thinking.

And since you called out "African" achievement as a whole...

I could point out several examples in North and East Africa that would surpass the Djenne mosque...I think that it's far from the pinnacle of African achievement.

There are the Kushite pyramids and the rock-cut churches of Ethiopia, for example, both of which I posted pictures of. Then plenty of monuments built in Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco -- the gates of Meknes for example:

[Image: morocco-meknes-bab-al-mansour.jpg]

and the mosque of Kairouan:

[Image: 440px-Great_Mosque_of_Kairouan_Panorama_...norama.jpg]

and let's not forget these things (I will respond to the "pharoahs were white" argument in my next post):

[Image: abu_simbel.jpg?v=1]

So in terms of achievement, Africa as a whole certainly has some architectural and civilizational achievements to its name. And even if we wouldn't consider many North Africans to be "black" per se, the Kushites and Ethiopians would indisputably fit into that category. At their peak (around 800 B.C to 300 A.D for the Kushites, and 300 A.D to 1300 A.D for the Ethiopians), these empires were also significantly more wealthy, advanced, and powerful than large parts of Europe.

In 800 B.C, the Greeks were barely existant, Rome had not even been founded, and most of Europe was considered to be a barbaric wasteland; conversely the Kushites had conquered Egypt, were building pyramids, and were conducting trade with most of the world. Though Rome and Greece eventually formed into the most formidable civilizations on the planet, modern-day Germany, Scandinavia, and Russia were still completely uncivilized.

The Ethiopian empire of Axum was also considered to be one of the superpowers of the classical world, along with the Byzantine empire, China, and Sassanid Persia. This list was compiled by the Persian prophet Mani, who was one of the most educated people on the planet at that time. It's notable that none of the European barbarians who destroyed Rome were included on that list.

Here's another picture of the Ethiopian church at Lalibela:

[Image: rock-hewn-church-of-Lalibela.jpg]

I would hardly call this thing "flimsy" or "unimpressive".

Black African civilizations just experienced their peak hundreds or thousands of years ago -- often during periods when large parts of Europe would be considered barbaric by anyone's standards.

The reason we know little about them is because archaeology in Africa is pathetic. There are 700,000 manuscripts from Timbuktu concerning everything from Malian history to astronomy to mathematics -- only a very few have been translated and studied. This is made worse by the security situation in Mali. Islamic jihadists recently occupied modern Timbuktu and destroyed many of its libraries -- a lot of them were spawned by Hillary's abysmal policies in Libya, though that's a story for another day.

And as I said earlier, Africa has constantly been undermined by its lack of useable resources. The slave trade was actually what spelled the demise of West African civilization -- what fucked over the already uncivilized parts of Africa spilled over to the civilized areas in the 17th century.

They did more than that -- they fought off full-scale Italian invasions with vastly inferior technology and weaponry. Only Mussolini's use of chemical weapons brought the Ethiopians to heel.
