At least this is, visually, slightly more believable than when they tried to claim German replica castles made in the 80's and 90's as "African castles" just because some rich German built them in Africa. That was one of my favorite threads of all time; shit was hilarious.
They're still wrong, though. They've just managed to make a more believable lie this time around.
Also, even if these were all built by Africans, plenty of these aren't castles to begin with. Just because a building is blocky, doesn't mean it's a castle. I know this one didn't specifically mention castles, but still. Also, I wonder if not mentioning castles was intentional goalpost shifting; is this a reaction to that other hilarious thread, still arguing the point?
It's so stupid how these people have to reach to try to defend their incorrect argument. Most noteworthy monuments in Africa are not built by Africans. That's pretty dang clear. Unlike Europe, Asia, or the Middle East, who all built their own stuff. But the leftists have a deep need to try to refute the point, even though it's obviously correct.

Castles are a bad yardstick to use because they were in many ways a product of European weakness and not strength: lords and nobles started fortifying their homes after the fall of the Carolingian Empire. A fortified city or military stronghold could be a more impressive feat of engineering yet not be a castle because it existed to protect a community or an army and not a household.
