So all the other guys are wrong and these folks are right. When are they going to admit....”We don’t know”....

But it hasn’t reached Compton yet.

Once again I have to call Bull$hit. Nothing about modern culture came from Africa. Especially South Africa. Once again, name me one, just one successful subSarahan African country.

Wait a minute.Regardless of where this happened...in the Rift Valley or just west of London....I think if we're talking 44,000 years ago it's a little presumptuous to use the word “modern”.

Primitivism and communism -- two world views that work well together.

But it hasnt reached Compton yet. Of course it has.Folks in Compton can work a Blackberry as well as anyone.A report on last year's London riots says that the thugs (most of whom,IIRC,were "of color") used Blackberrys to coordinate their looting and burning.

modern humans were migrating from Africa to Europe, where they soon displaced Neanderthals. RACISM!

The antediluvian civilization was global. Most traces of it are under 400 feet of water today.

Just because there are no successful cultures in sub-Saharan Africa now does not mean that some kind of society did not arise there 44,000 years ago. Societies rise and fall based on their predominant philosophical ideas which change over time.

Right and witness how far they’ve come with flash mobs, molestation and killing of whites by black mobs, our increased black populations in prison, their disgustingly high rate of dropouts in high school, their clinging to only one type of political persuasion, etc.
They’ve come a long, long way. What a bunch of nonsense!
