From my own analysis published elsewhere. The entirity of Europe an much of the orient is filled with elaborate architecture, public works, invention, libraries, scrolls, and manuscripts going back hundreds and thousands of years. In Black Africa one finds naught. The way it is presently going, there never will be anything. There has never been anything of substance in Black Africa to steal or imitate. The solution to this problem by black activist scholars may be to claim the Vikings were really black Africans or some such nonsence, but it isn't going to fly.

Slow your roll. This was not always the case.

"The entirety of Europe" was NOT always filled with such things. In fact, there was a time when the Romans and even Arab cultures considered Western Europeans to be "backwards," especially Britons.

Once the technology and know-how migrated to these parts of Europe through conquest and trade-routes, they made the most out of what they just learned. And they are to be commended for that. But don't get crazy. I know history, too.

My M.A. thesis was on this very topic.
