I always ask: just list me any invention that came from the sub Saharan africa continent?
Times up and sorry the blow gun does not count as it was in use in South America long ago too.
Beyond that, I am so tired of these race baiters. Slavery was ended and citizenship granted almost 150 years ago. Neither I nor any of my ancestors ever owned slaves as most were dirt poor when they arrived in the US without even knowing the language. They survived, learned and worked toward citizenship around the turn of 1900. Their decendants all have it better than they did as they ensured they got educations and worked for what they got. Same for my wifes family whose only step up from my ancestors is they spoke english when they arrived in the 1800’s. Why the disconnect. Someone else noted it in a prior post, the “Great Society” legislation of the less than great dummocrat party took away the family roots for all poor people most of whom were black. The damage cannot be overcome IMO. Families were demolished as the onus for welfare was to be single. The affects of these programs are now moving into the rest of society so I fear rather than it just being a problem for the black community, our whole society is denegrating into a society based on individuals preying on the remainder of a civilized society.
The people , as many as there are on that vast continent could never get organized long enough to demonstrate organized farming and a structured existence known as civilization.
Tribalism and warring has always had greater importance, let alone their total African philosophy that no one can get ahead of the chief... sorry chiefs... as many communities have a chief by day and another for the night.
Their failure is in their black persona and has been going on since the beginning of time. Anyone who points at the whiteman for the blacks failure is only a race baiter. They dont need a whiteman to fail! For them oppression starts at home in Africa!
"Times up and sorry the blow gun does not count as it was in use in South America long ago too."
This weapon dates back thousands of years, however the specific time of origin is unknown. Although the blowgun was used (and still is) throughout the world, there is no actual records of it's use by the Pygmies or Forest People of Africa. I believe the blowgun originated in S.E. Asia, for there are records dealing with its use throughout this area, including Malaysia, New Guinea and Borneo. It was probably taken by migrating peoples to what is now Japan. There blowguns carved from ivory are still intact. Blowguns are not used in warfare unless by the under strength insurgent groups, such as in the Philippines during the Spanish American war.
