in response to your rebuttal..
1. so where did the Greek philosophers study at? hmmm
http://www.sacred-texts.com/afr/stle/stle05.htm
2. I've yet to see any studies stating that. I'd love to get an article or paper with this study please.
3. never said all knowledge, I said they have stolen knowledge. when they went into Africa they took doctors, scientist, engineers etc. you get the point. what I'm trying to say is they took people for their intellectual ability. the Europeans have been enslaving each other for labor for centuries. also Christianity is stolen of the walls of Egypt, the religion they used to justify killing, *******, and destroying us for hundreds of years.
4. so your telling me during the middle ages Europe was in a better state than Africa?? where most of Europe's gold came from.
5. so the university of Timbuktu was just nothing then huh.
6.http://www.stewartsynopsis.com/moors_in_europe.htm, just architecture? pretty sure much of the medical text in Europe was written in Arabic at the time.
7.glad we agree.
8. but the whites haven't been trying to control the birth rate of melaniated peoples right?
9. where did these Asians come from?? they are descendents of Africans that migrated to Asia. they're are still tribes of people in Asia that have African features and are as dark as night.
10. your talking about as an adult, I'm talking about the lies being fed to children. in the history books they tell you.Columbus discovered America, Africa is a horrible , war-torn place with an aids epidemic. they talk about Egypt as if it hasn't been a part of Africa, if you wanna talk about America history, where's the Willie lynch letter in my history book, where's Nat Turner?. explain to me why Marcus gravey isn't talked about, or the explanation of why Lincoln truly freed the slaves, college isn't for everybody , they need to reach people early in there life with information that's real and helpful. not bullshit like names of ships or people who haven't done anything useful for mankind.
Africa is enslaved today, tell me how Africa can be the richest continent (natural resource wise) with out one central bank? if Africa had a bank it could back it's natural resources to they would bankrupt all other forms of currency. but instead the world bank gives Africa money which it knows they would never be able to pay back , thus keeping Africa enslaved. even in America, explain to me why there are more blacks in jail then any other people
1) If in the philosophic tradition, things weren't written down, how can anybody with any certainty say who was the originator? As for your sourcing, George G.M. James' book is 60 years old, where are the peer reviews and what else has been written in scholarly journals about this topic in the past 60 years?
2) http://repository.ias.ac.in/21961/1/333.pdf

3) And what culture hasn't absorbed people with valuable skills and knowledge to enrich their own? Slavery has existed across each continent and across all racial/ethnic groups for as long as civilization has existed, it isn't particular to European culture. As for what you say about Christianity, given that it is an off-shoot of Judaism, how was it expropriated from Ancient Egypt? And for the last part of your statement, I'm not going to delve into a pissing contest of "whose religion is best?" because the phrasing of that statement leads me to believe, right or wrong, that you aren't Christian and you have an axe to grind with Christianity, and there are more appropriate forums for that discussion to take place.
4) If you believe the myth that learning was dead in Europe during the Middle Ages, then sure, it was the worst place on Earth. Was there a period after the fall of Rome in 476 where chaos and depopulation exist? Yes. Did the Black Plague have an adverse affect on Europe? Yes. However, that covers about 300-400 years of a 1000 year period.
5) No, just that the Golden Age of Timbuktu took place at a time of Islamic rule.
6) I said that architecture was its most lasting legacy, as seen in the number of buildings throughout Spain and Portugal that date to that period or were built later in a similar style, not its only legacy.
8) How? By legalizing and liberalizing abortion laws?
9) Refer to #7 from your and my original posts.
10) I've taught Social Studies at the Junior High School and High School level, and I can tell you that with the current trend in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), Social Studies gets the short end of the stick. Just using Social Studies as an example, if everything that me, you, or anybody else thought was important and should be included in a Social Studies curriculum was included, classes would have to be way longer than the 40-50 minutes, and the school year would have to extend beyond 180 days, which creates a whole new set of problems. The other examples you listed, when Social Studies curricula are drafted, if you put something in, you have to take something out. So to include what you listed, what comes out? Also, teachers do have a degree of latitude when it comes to supplementing their teaching materials, so there is nothing to stop a teacher from adding topics into a lesson plan or unit lesson plan (for example, when I taught in a Special Ed classroom, we had our students research famous figures in African American History other than the usual names that are part of the curriculum), but teachers are also observed and evaluated on what they teach, and because teachers are guided by district and state guidelines in their subject matter, "teaching to the test" has sadly become the norm in a lot of classrooms. My advice, if what goes into a curriculum matters that much to you, become a teacher or run for your local school board so you can have a say in what happens in the classroom. Also, be careful of what you deem as worthy of being included in school curriculum (Willie Lynch- http://www.ferris.edu/htmls/news/jimcrow/question/may04.htm).
I don't know why Africa doesn't have a central bank as I don't read the Wall Street Journal, Investors Business Daily, Barron's or other publications of that ilk, nor do I spend much time contemplating international financial issues, I have enough of my own to worry about. As there are 54 independent political units in Africa, each with its own political systems and apsirations, I don't know that a centralized currency or financial institution on the model of the European Union would work, although I would have never thought that such a thing would have been workable in Europe.
As for the prison population of this country, I don't contemplate why criminals are imprisoned, so long as they are in prison and not roaming the streets free to do what they engage in. So what are you trying to say- that the vast majority of the blacks currently in prison are innocent, or that white people commit the same acts but are sent merrily on their way? So what would be the solution then- that we start randomly picking up people of other races and imprisoning them so as to even the numbers out, or just start releasing black prisoners en masse back into the community to even out the numbers? I don't doubt that there are some wrongfully convicted people in prison, but the overwhelming majority of people who end up in prison are there because of what they've done, not because of the color of their skin.
