She also believes that Africans came to the Americas and helped the Olmecs and Aztecs build their civilization but then left peacefully (and never came back?).
Stupid is as stupid does.
Let’s reverse this ... if blacks were in control, they’d kill whitey and take everything they have. Then they would go back to being broke again.
Is she with Louis Farrakhan’s outfit?
Wait, so west Africans came to America, built a civilization far more advanced than anything in west Africa, went home, didn’t take anything from the new world and didn’t build anything at home?
Well, she got that right. About the Zoomers anyway
Has an African nation ever built a blue water ship?
Mmm Hmmm
“Rwandan Genocide”
Recent bloodsuckink for consideration
Isn’t it nice to make up fictional stories and demand everyone believe it
She seems the type to belong to Nation of Islam,
where every other sentence is blaming the white race for something.
The “bloodsuckers” got kicked out of Zimbabwe and now that country has the most booming economy in the world....
right.....
Yes, they came over from Wakanda to help the Aztecs and Olmecs. It’s a good thing they didn’t share their advanced tech, or their Vibranium, or we would all be slaves today.
Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright said it wasn't a "Genocide"
Has Romney swapped stories with her yet about fictitious visitations to the Americas
That settles it, right!?
she called the white race barbaric devils and bloodsuckers....

Oh yeah? Same to you. How do you feel now hearing that? Next time be nice for a change.
The first Africans arrived in Virginia because of the transatlantic slave trade. Across three and a half centuries—from 1501 to 1867—more than 12.5 million Africans were captured, sold, and transported to the Americas. While Portugal and Spain were the first European powers engaged in this trade, eventually most of the European powers would get involved. It was as profitable as it was brutal.
The Africans who came to Virginia in 1619 had been taken from Angola in West Central Africa. They were captured in a series of wars that was part of much broader Portuguese hostilities against the Kongo and Ndongo kingdoms, and other states. These captives were then forced to march 100-200 miles to the coast to the major slave-trade port of Luanda.
They were put on board the San Juan Bautista, which carried 350 captives bound for Vera Cruz, on the coast of Mexico, in the summer of 1619.
Nearing her destination, the slave ship was attacked by two English privateers, the White Lion and the Treasurer, in the Gulf of Mexico and robbed of 50-60 Africans.
The two privateers then sailed to Virginia where the White Lion arrived at Point Comfort, or present-day Hampton, Virginia, toward the end of August.
John Rolfe, a prominent planter and merchant (and formerly the husband of Pocahontas), reported that “20. and odd Negroes” were “bought for victuals,” (italics added). The majority of the Angolans were acquired by wealthy and well-connected English planters including Governor Sir George Yeardley and the cape, or head, merchant, Abraham Piersey. The Africans were sold into bondage despite Virginia having no clear-cut laws sanctioning slavery.
The Treasurer arrived at Point Comfort a few days after the White Lion but did not stay long, quickly setting sail for the English colony of Bermuda.
Prior to leaving port, however, it is possible that 7 to 9 Africans were sold, including a woman named “Angelo” (Angela) who was taken to Captain William Pierce’s Jamestown property, which Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists excavated in partnership with the National Park Service.
By March 1620, 32 Africans were recorded in a muster as living in Virginia but by 1625 only 23 were recorded. These Africans, scattered throughout homes and farms of the James River Valley, were the first of hundreds of thousands of Africans forced to endure slavery in colonial English America.
A ship “brought not any thing but 20. and odd Negroes” to Virginia in late August 1619 after capturing them from a slave ship bound for Spanish colonies.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded--here and there, now and then--are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.” -- Lazarus Long
