So Much for the Africans Are Dumb Notion

[sitarro]

Yes it does. He was capable of playing both left and right handed, but preferred left handed. That was an odd but interesting picture of him and is one of the few that I have ever seen showing him holding the guitar in a right hand playing position

Sorry but no, that photo was obviously printed backwards by someone that didn't know better. Note the word Fender on the head.

This is the correct way that photo should be viewed.

I am not a "photo expert", but I did state that I was a Jimi Hendrix fan.

As for "how a photo should be viewed", I will put that on my to do list, and may get to it sometime before I die, if I am lucky, but thanks for the information anyway.

However, please feel free to ask me anything that you wish about what kind of equipment or effects he used, how he tuned his guitar, or who his musical influences were.

On a separate note, I was given a Nikon D5100 last Christmas, and have not yet even taken it out of the box, you being a photography "expert", is it a good camera worth keeping?

I am by no means an expert on photography. I have been using Nikons since 1978 when I bought my first new camera, an FE, still works and the film advance feels better than it did when it was new. I have a medium format Pentax 6x7 than I've sent back to Pentax 3 times to replace the film advance lever after not taking nearly the thousands of shots I have taken with the Nikon....... great camera though. I now use a D300 and like it a lot. The 5100 is a great camera for the money and will probably make you happy for many years to come, spend the big money on lenses, that is where you don't want to skimp. The body is a good one unless you want to spend at least 2500 dollars for a D800 which will give you better capability with higher ISO shooting in darker situations, it is very good with low noise.
In the old days with film, you saw what happened with that Hendrix shot a lot. If you look at the head you can clearly see that Fender is backwards so that would indicate the entire photo is backwards. I looked under images in Google and found it correctly done with him playing an upside down Strat left handed and you can read Fender correctly, that is the second version on my last post.

Africa's Contributions to World Civilization

Every thing you white people got you either stole from Africans or Native Americans or destroyed. You even stole labor. Sit back and watch and wait you white people will destroy mankind.

done with those olde english 40's yet?

Alcohol doesn't have anything to do with the truth.

does shoving objects up your ass = the truth?

HAHAHA. What a moron. The computer you type on is due to whites. Negroes and indians had nothing to do with it. Not even 1%. Same with cars and every technological advance of the last 100 years.

Negros and indians are useless parasites who produce nothing and need the almighty white man to take care of them.

.....just to name a few. But you already knew...you're just in propaganda mode. LOL

You really think Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell were black.

 

[poet]

Look up these names if you don't believe me--->Newton, Telsa, Edison, James watts, Kepler, Galileo, Max Planck, Democritus', Boyle, Dalton, Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, etc. Thousands more of whites helped make the hard sciences that made the industrial revolution possible.

It was like a water line and a certain knowledge had to be invented to get to it. No one else was close to having the solid grasp of science needed to develop the modern science as we have seen the past 200 years.

Are you insane? I'm familiar with all of the names you listed...
But how racist do you have to be, to say that the bulk of human knowledge emanated, solely, from "whites". Believe that if you want to....but I know better.

 

[poet]

Whites are responsible for the industrial revolution. All the physics that made electricy, the engine and everything that's powered is white invited. Secondly; democracy and the college is white thought up.

Sure you could look at the Mayan or Babylon and find some impressive stuff...On the other hand there's no ignoring what whites brought to this world.

The industrial revolution, based on what? Slave labor, which they couldn't have had "otherwise".

White invited? Or "white-invented"? In either case, it's baloney. Democracy and college? Are you out of your mind? You obviously know nothing about African cultures or achievements. I guess you believe that the Ancient Egyptians were "white"...spitting images of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton? LOL.
All of what you're talking about is "spin". White privilege allows you to assert, believe, say, think, and do anything your mind can come up with, and call it "inspired". There is nothing new, under the sun, that hasn't been done, in some way, before. Stop patting yourself on the back.

The industrial revolution ended slavery economically and made it possible for people like Marx, eagles to bitch for human rights. Well, I know the Africans were the victims of being sold as slaves by their own people. How's that for achievement. lol

You'll have to forgive me if I don't believe your revisionist history. I subscribe to the portrayal described in "Roots", in which Africans were "ambushed", shackled, and stolen away, by whites.

 

[poet]

Can you show me how another race developed the concepts of "human rights", democracy, or the college? Please paste the links.

College=Plato
Plato had his Academy in 387 BC in Greece.

I'd love to read them. Back it up or you're just blowing smoke.

Uh, The Egyptians were not "white". Look up Timbuktu.

 

[poet]

I'd love to see this feel good pc history poet. Please post it...I made a post about all the blacks that helped advance humanity happily.

I really don't understand what you're talking about. I'm afraid that this is the sticking point and the difference is the fact that you can't admit when you're wrong....There's no ability of critical thought.

I'm more then willing to give credit when it is due too blacks, arabs, Asians, mesos, etc.

Most of physics, chemistry, Meteorology, archaeology, geology were defined mostly by whites. Not that all knowledge is done by them.Take a basic class in science and read about who did what. I'm not the racist here.

Whites made each one of those fields into the professional ones that they're today.

Are you saying the three are the only areas of achievement worth mentioning? How about science and math? How about pyramids? How about medicine? Embalming?

I've taken these classes and believe me they were mostly developed within the last 300 years into the professional fields that they're mostly on the back of the white man. I'm NOT saying that all science was developed by him. Of course not.

You could say he made them into solid fields of study. So you want me to say that every race had equal parts in them? Certainly there are notable non-whites for me to give credits to.

No black has ever won a science Nobel Prize. And it's not due to racism since many blacks have won NPs in the no-brain fields of Peace or Literature. Just one more piece of evidence that blacks are mentally inferior - as we all know.

Roots??? HAHAHA You really are a jackass aren't you?. That book and movie were debunked years ago as being lies and plagiarism. Haley lost a lawsuit and had to shell out a fortune. Wiki has a nice article on this piece of fiction. They say things like:

"The evidence of copying from The African in both the novel and the television dramatization of Roots is clear and irrefutable. The copying is significant and extensive .."

Dr. Gates has acknowledged the doubts surrounding Haley's claims about Roots, saying, "Most of us feel it's highly unlikely that Alex actually found the village whence his ancestors sprang. Roots is a work of the imagination rather than strict historical scholarship."[26]

Again you have made a fool of yourself.

Egypt at first started off with Ethiopians. I guess you could say at a point, it was full black. It honestly became a melting pot. There were whites, blacks, and in fact Asians. Everybody race mixed.

People argue black or white when it comes to Egypt and often, it's a superiority complex. To me, it's more like a "who cares?" Just go to Egypt today and it looks pretty diverse.
