Africans and Inherited Behaviors

[Akata Man Bromo]

Uganda's president says he loves Trump for: "being frank with Africans"

 

[Poitier]

Yes, because Europe has tons of arable land.

Talk about being invested in European but prop up “identity” and “statehood.”

Being commodity economies has nothing to do with geography.

You dudes are full of shyt.

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

It wasnt exactly much of a surprise.

The lack of African "supremacy" can be almost uniformly linked to the lack of unified African identity and subsequent statehood. The fact that you have so many Uncle Abdi's and Evangelical wingnuts walking around does not help either. I really tire of the intense over importance and over reliance on inheritance and genetics. Much of Africa's modest development can be attributed to geographical limitations and lack of access to arable and traversed land. There is no such thing as the "plight of the negro" and believing such does nothing other than confirm that you're pretty much fully invested in European, anti-black ideology.

Europeans gained world-spanning empires without continental unity.

Outside yea they needed to have unity.. inside their area, they didn't

They fought/undermined each other to control territory outside Europe

They fought/undermined each other to control territory outside Europe

Yet England which comprised of multiple white groups uniting came together and got the farthest compared to the non unified ones.

That doesn't disprove my earlier comment about Europeans lacking continental unity during the colonization process


Moreover, England brutalized Ireland. Conquered Wales and tricked Scottish elites to sell their country

England itself was unity

How it was formed doesn’t disprove that

yea they did but they didn't let it destroy them.


their at the top and we're at the bottom.. so obviously whatever conflicts they had with eachother, they were able to handle.

 

[Poitier]

By "Europe", you mean Western Europe.

Europe was not arable. You don't know what that word means.

You don't even see integration in small regions of Africa where it is more than possible....all you are doing is making excuses.

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

Of course they didnt. Development is not bred by unity...its the opposite actually. European advancement was actually due to fierce competition and militaristic development. You have a relatively small piece of land with numerous competitive states...England, Spain, Germany, France, Prussia, Hungary, Turkey, Netherlands and even a couple others all had pretty extensive periods of success and that competiton with other civilisations/states is what bred the rapid technological development seen in Europe. After all, there is no greater source of innovation than warfare. Then you take the fact that Europe was fairly easily traversed and the land was arable...that what allowed for vast empires to expand their reach provided they could successfully kill their competitors.

And in regards to European unity? The Berlin Conference saw to that. African states were divvied up by way of mutual agreement. No, there was no express unity, but there was no need for it. This is why I care little for people who wax on about "african unity". Collaborative competition has always shown itself to be more effective. The Europeans were not exactl holding each others hands but they had laid out a set of rules to the game that they all followed accordingly. That rule was that black was ALWAYS inferior.

You get it

You have Africans in denial....it really isn't worth the effort entertaining them.

Colonizer economies were all integrated even if the played musical chairs with said territories so you are correct.

That said....

Had Africans not let Europeans into the interior, we would not be having this discussion.
Had Africans not willfully sold people as commodities, we would not be having this discussion.
Had Africans been curious about the engineering of foreign technologies and not European trinkets, then we would not be having this discussion.

All this talk of innovation and warfare making Europe some farfetched indestructible force is nothing more than a ruse to ward off accountability.

[Bawon Samedi]

An industrialized Europe being very powerful is not far fetched. Especially when they had stuff like machine guns, gunboats, repeating rifles, and freaking bombers(for last resort).

Yeah, I agree West Africans and Northeast Africans should have made efforts to learn this technology as they been around Europeans longer, had more complex/organized states, etc. And not be obsessed with crap like alcohol and other trivial shyt. But as for anything other Africans? It was way too damn late to try and learn anything. Plus we forget most Africans outside of Muslims were illiterate.

 

[Poitier]

Europe WAS Arable. Dumb motherfukker since when have Spain, Portugal and Italy been considered Western Europe?? They all had a notable presence in Africa.

You're an idiot and I grow tired of your contribution. You're another uneducated clown from the US who exhibits every aspect of American intellectual mediocrity.

Whats truly mindblowing is that you sit here parroting third grade, racial pseudoscience as fact. Any decent historian would happily tell you that Europe advancement came through population density, arable land, access to water and the proliferation of civilization due to favorable conditions for governing large numbers of people in an accessible area. You have no idea what you're talking about. Go to bed.

Europe advancement came from free labor. End of story.

No one in their right mind would ever claim that Europe had more arable land than Africa

The hilarious thing is you sound like a White person romanticizing why they rose to the top. GTFOH with the "Guns, Germs and Steel" nonsense
