I know it shouldn’t but it boggles my mind how with all the hand wringing in the west over slavery that ended long ago nobody holds African nations accountable for ongoing slavery or past slavery. In one of Sowell’s books he talked about how the British worked very hard to end slavery in Africa and some kings or tribal leaders said they will meet all their demands but they will keep their slaves
It's the part they REALLY want to avoid teaching in history classes. That the biggest empire that EVER existed that was white dominated at the height of their power, chose to use it to end slavery.
Really hard to call for reparations when the guys you want money off have statues dedicated to the forces that lost their lives stopping slavers.
I think that’s why they moved on to whining about colonialism. I remember I met an older Nigerian man and he was telling me about how before they stopped being a British territory they offered British citizenship and he took it. He said they weren’t perfect but to act like the British didn’t have any positive influence on Nigeria is ridiculous. Also didn’t have a high opinion of young people whining about colonialism
Ditto with the official story that Anglo-sphere spent blood and the concept of empire itself to end the holocoaster, but the those same Anglos need to carry eternal guilt for it having supposedly happening in the first place.
That's why despite all their whining about "black history" never being taught, they never even try to teach anything about Africa and instead try to steal Egypt's history.
Because the moment you do, its just slaves, slaves and more slaves. That Woman King movie was on track to be this huge black power thing, but it instead accidentally only got people talking about how much slavery Africa perpetuated on its own even despite their attempts to sanitize it out.
History books have been trying to assign the blame to slavery to America almost exclusively for decades, for alot of reasons.
Almost twenty million africans were taken out of Africa as slaves(but only 3 to 6 % of them went to North America.)
Try researching about slavery in Central and South America and you'll find almost nothing(despite lasting alot longer, starting in the 1600s). Talk about the Arabic slave trade, and maybe you'll find more.
There's also the awkward question of 'Well, where did the slaves go, then?' The answer being, they basically worked them all to death(or gelded them and then worked them to death), which leads to the other awkward question of 'Wait, why does North America still have slave descendants around, then?'
Well, because, guess what - while still slavery, Southern slave owners treated their slaves alot nicer than others. Let them breed, let them have families, grow and sell their own crops, allowed for manumission...
But we can't have that discussion, can we? Gotta sell that propaganda...
Nail on the head, the Europeans, Asian and Arabs didn't claim another culture as theirs (a problem with some of the Arabs is them destroying other ancient cultural works) but this lot are.
Seems to be projected from American blacks though as I don't see Africans really ever trying to claim Egypt as African in anything but a geographical state. There's been a cultural difference between the two for several millenia.
Ethiopia was occasionally connected to the Mediterranean world, to the point that Greeks referred to all black people as Ethiopians. The rest of sub-Saharan Africa was cut off from the rest of the world, which surely didn't help their development.
Asians left alone: Create black powder, amass huge civilizations and cultural wonders
Whites left alone: create amazing inventions, philosophies, empires and cultural works
Arabs left alone: advance medical and mathematics, create many cultural works
Blacks left alone: start enslaving each other and selling them off to Arabs and whites for their stuff
Even the natives to South America with all their human sacrifice did better...

Exactly. I’ve joked that they need to have a mandatory “world history of slavery class” where they just watch some Sowell videos about it.
Tallest structures before modern building techniques:
Asians: 70m
Whites: 150m
Arabs: 90m
Sub Saharan Africans: 10m
Americans: 70m
One story mud huts, thousands of years.
Makes me wonder if that’s the reason why they’re trying to say Egyptians are black. Just so they can claim the pyramids and Sphinx.

Mesoamerica was badass, man. Way better than anything to come out of subsaharan Africa.
Grim eval. The Ethiopian achieved some things. Long ago.
