And that notion itself is a rather recent invention of African-American studies.

Ca 1965, I had a college instructor who was black, for my Western Civ class. Blacks discovered America before Columbus; traded feathers for gold with the Aztecs. Most of the "real" Egyptian Pharaohs were black. A black invented radio, ad nauseum. I didn't finish the semester, but dropped & retook it later from an actual historian.

That was my first experience with "Black Studies", even before there were such programs/departments.

I understand that rather than improving, they have actually gone downhill from there.

Excuse me now; I have to go sacrifice a chicken for dinner...and maybe I'll pick up a watermelon in town for dessert.

Indeed, 45 years later Western Civilization owes all of its greatest developments to black-lesbian atheists with speech impediments.
