You suffer in the area of perception as it’s limited to what other people you respect have told you as opposed to finding your own knowledge and understanding.
- Less than 22% of the world is white.
- Less than 11% of the world is white and male.
- Less than 2.3% of the world is white, male and speaks English.
Yet they run the BBC, CNN, the New York Times, Harvard, Yale, Oxford and Cambridge. They write most of the Hollywood films and Wikipedia articles. They own Facebook. They own twitter.
And most people’s knowledge of the world comes from that 2.3% of people.
A 2.3% that has a limited, racist view on things. So I understand why you would ask a question like this.
Not that English-speaking white men are always wrong. But when they do generally agree on something but are wrong about it, it is very hard to set it right.
The white English speaking male POV is often taken as THE truth. It is extremely difficult to question it, let alone offer another view of the issue.
Black people have invented more things beneficial to the progress of mankind than anyone else.
That’s simply because we have been on the planet longer than anyone else.
Yes most inventions of the past few hundred years were made by white people. So sure whites have invented some wonderful things
But at the same time 99.99% of white people have invented nothing.
And those inventions are only because whites have been on top during that time. And in the past few hundred years whites have theorized that blacks are subhuman, then why open the door to a monkey ? That’s been white supremacist logic and if they never let blacks get into anything, the logic is safe.
If white inventions were because white people are born with more brains, then they would have been on top all throughout all history.
Anglo power (European and American) is fresh in our minds, but it is merely the latest chapter in the book of history. And that is the Historical Context that you’re argument forgets.
So western inventions are not because white people are so much smarter than everyone else but because progress in science and invention is built on what has gone before.
The more science you know the more science you can discover. The more inventions you have at hand. The more new inventions you can come up with. That is why the progress is exponential. It comes from the nature of science and technology, not from the nature of white intelligence.
You forget that you live at only one point in history, that other points in history were different. 700 years ago the Chinese could have ran around bragging how smart and inventive they were. After all whites would be nowhere without four Chinese inventions:
1) Gunpowder
2) The compass
3) Paper
4) The printing press.
Their rise to world power was built on these.
It also must be remembered that it’s not so much about who invents. It’s ALL about who gets the patent.
Whites have done it for ages.
They see an idea, invention, something which is common somewhere else, go back home, patent it and claim the rights.
That's why you have stories like last year the black South African (Nkosinathi Nkomo) created a water purification
invention to assist the drought in Cape Town then he mysteriously falls from a building a dies.
A few months later someone comes up with the same invention.
Coincedence ?
His invention would have make him a billionaire and his descendents.
Mark Zuckerberg wasn't over in Nigeria a few years ago for the weather
He was over their stealing ideas and taken them bk to America and pass them of as his.
But it is pretty widely acknowledged that virtually no basic technologies were strictly speaking invented in Europe or the United States. Instead, European societies aggregated technologies. Metalwork, the plow, hydrocarbon fuels, higher mathematics, paper, wind-powered sea navigation, the compass, gun powder, and steam engines all came from elsewhere. In terms of the crucial agricultural products that feed everyone in the modern world, too, none originated in Europe.
Black Africans were the original inventors of the disciplines that helped bring the world into the modern age.
Black people are :
- The Fathers of Mathematics.
- The Fathers of Physics.
- The Fathers of Chemistry
- The Fathers of Astronomy.
- The Fathers of civilisation.
- The Fathers of building in stone and bricks.
- The fathers of Writing Languages like Edo Script, Nsibidi are three African writing systems that pre-date the arrival of Europeans on the continent.
In fact Africans invented the binary system which is still used in the Yoruba oracle and was copied by German scientists and applied to computer programming.
Calendars, irrigation, mining, metal block printing, fountain pen, astrolabic quadrant, hand cannon and an emphasis of the kind of tools used in architecture.
All the ancient formulas in trigonometry, calculus and physics as well as chemistry were invented by black people. All of these were begun by Blacks in Egypt, Nubia-Kush.
Black ppl gave the world the alphabet (Phoenicians were black Moorish people from North Africa...the word PHONICS comes from them) and numbers (Arabic numbers are 0-9 as opposed to Roman numerals which don't have a zero making higher math IMPOSSIBLE).
So even if people of European origins have made improvements in ancient technologies and ancient inventions, such as rocketry, computer technology, aerodynamics and others, the basic mathematical formulas and ancient prototypes were invented by Africans
Civilization is not a white invention. Greek civilization comes from Egypt. But whites see it as the starting point because it was the first “white” country to be civilized. And it was first only because it was closest to Egypt.
People are taught to turn a blind eye to the Egyptian roots of Greek civilization.
The columns, the paper, the science and mathematics all came straight out of Egypt.
Even before Alexandria became the centre of Greek learning, people like Plato, Pythagoras, Solon and Thales all studied in Egypt.
But to be honest :
Agriculture and Iron Smelting were two of the most important things humans ever discovered.
They were both developed, independently in West Africa. Humans spent 10s of thousands of years as hunter gatherers before somebody figured out that if you plant seeds in the ground, irrigate and take care of them, you can settle in one area and not have to wander about looking for food.
Seems pretty obvious, but if nobody explained it to you, you’d have no idea how it works.
Iron industry, in both smelting and forging for tools and weapons, appeared in Sub-Saharan Africa by 1200 BCE
I repeat
Agriculture and Iron Smelting were two of the most important things humans ever discovered
When you look back in history you realize that no one in their right mind in 1500 would have thought that some day English would become a world language, a respected language of learning, science and business. If you said that in 1500 people would have thought you had too much to drink because medieval Europe was a sh*t hole.
Until the Blacks came in from Africa and cleaned it up.
That’s why the Spanish (to this day) annually dress every year in blackface. Racist as F. But they know their history.
The stench of medieval Europe still echoes today. The Middle Ages smelt of sewage and decaying bodies. The Queen of Spain Isabel of Castle (the end of the 15th century) confessed that she had taken a bath only twice in a lifetime when born and married.
French kings died of lice. People emptied chamber pots right out of their windows making streets look like cesspools. Fleas, lice and bugs swarmed in rich and poor houses of London and Paris.
Unsanitary conditions, diseases and starvation were what early Europe was. Noble families were happy if at best two or three of ten children survived. A third of women died in labor. They had no street illumination. In Ancient Rome they sold even the urine from latrines to wool dyers and leather tanners.
Rain was the only street cleaner in those times. The black plague almost killed all of white Europe in the 13th, due to UNSANITARY conditions.
The truth of the matter is early Europeans were nasty mofos.
Black people (moors) from Africa civilized Europe. There were bath houses all thru Moorish Spain as well as well lit streets, Universities, Palaces. While 1% of Europe was literate, there were over 90 universities in the Moorish Empire. They were responsible from bringing them out of the dark ages.
These blacks are responsible for the white boy 'renaissance' where they had a refocus on science, learning and math. BLACK MOORS are the ones who inspired this reawakening.
They built stuff like
And this was throughout Europe.
That's why they have statues of blk ppl on many European countries
They introduced art, architecture, sciences, medicines, animal husbandry and other advanced disciplines to Spain and the rest of Europe. This was the catalyst which led to the European Renaissance.
Most of Western European scientific discoveries or rather copies of the original discoveries of Africans were put to use during the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.
It was during this time that some of the great scientific and technological discoveries and inventions were made.
Yet, these discoveries and inventions were and are merely improvements on ancient discoveries made by Africans Blacks.
For example, gunpowder was invented by the ancient Egyptians and Nigerians who used the cola nut to make gunpowder. The Chinese reinvented it and used it in fireworks and explosives.
Steel work and iron smelting was invented by Africans in ancient Tanzania, where ancient cone-like blast furnaces with bellows still exist to this very day and are still used.
The hydraulic pump for lifting water and irrigation was invented by Africans in Egypt
SERIOUS White historians know these facts very well.
They also know that to tell the truth would reveal the dominate position the Black ppl in the bronze-age.
SERIOUS white historians know they were barbarians when the foundation of world civilization was built by black ppl but few western historians will tell the full story of man's racial history to do so would challenge the Aryan model of history.
If you have got this far down then I'm sure these observations seem like "junk-science" or "radical" interpretations..
Education doesn't equal intelligence, intelligence doesn't equal knowledge, knowledge doesn't equal understanding and understanding doesn't equal wisdom.
Observe, find you own understanding outside the books, or even other people. Calling me radical is the ultimate compliment, cause that means I'm blazing my own path, long as I keep moving, its all good.
