I'm saying that in school black history usually starts with "slavery." We all know the story: "slaves are taken from west africa to america etc.

Uhh, yeah no shyt they're not gonna teach black people African history

What happened prior to 1492? In both the americas and africa....

Are you asking because you don't know or is this a rhetorical question :skip:

You asked what happened before the 15th, but I don't know if that was a rhetorical question or you honestly dont know.

Think this is appropriate here, slave port recently unearthed in Rio de Janeiro, for those that question physical evidence of ships/ports this is fairly significant

Brazil's hidden slavery past uncovered at Valongo Wharf

Rio de Janeiro is a city looking to the future. Major development work is underway in the city's historic port area as it prepares to host the Olympics in 2016.

But the construction effort to make all that happen has unexpectedly shone a light on a dark side of Rio: its past as the largest entry point for African slaves in the Americas.

In 2011, excavation work uncovered the site of Valongo Wharf, where almost a million African slaves disembarked before the slave trade was declared illegal in Brazil in 1831.

The wharf and the complex surrounding it were constructed in 1779 as part of an effort to move what was regarded as an unsightly trade to an area far from the city centre.

Emaciated from the long crossing from Africa, many slaves died not long after arriving in Brazil

Slave traders would inspect the newly-arrived slaves from Africa and sell them on

The cemetery's exact location was only uncovered in the 1990s, when a couple renovating a house discovered a large number of bones.

The area is a stark reminder of the role Brazil played in the slave trade.

More than four million slaves were taken to Brazil over three centuries. That is 40% of all slaves brought to the Americas.

And despite the official abolition of the slave trade in 1831, the clandestine trade continued to flourish.

Slavery itself, rather than the trade in slaves, was not banned until 1888, making Brazil the last country in the western world to abolish the practice.

"This whole area was a major slave market and all the sites associated to that trade have disappeared. The Valongo Wharf is the only one remaining," he explains.

Anthropologist Milton Guran, who co-ordinates the bid to have Valongo recognised as a Unesco World Heritage site, thinks preservation is especially important because "we had successive attempts to erase this history".

"Slavery finally started being perceived as something heinous and the Empire sought to obliterate that mark," he says.

doggy, it is not semantics to say that Blacks in the Americas dont descend from African people it is pure nonsense. And I know that isn't what you were saying but it was what was being discussed before you got here.

Question for the crowd that thinks the majority of Afro people in the Americas descended from Africans who were here before the slave trade. I can provide census data on the Black population in cities like Mexico City, Buenos Aires, or Lima (census' which have historically always understated black population) over several decades during the time of slavery, I'm wondering if you guys have any sources that show even speculative data about the number of Africans in various countries in Central/South America prior to..lets say 1580, just so we can do a comparison.

Ivan Van Sertima.....THEY CAME BEFORE COLUMBUS.

the entire book is my source.
