Can somebody who's really educated on this subject give me the breakdown on the history of Buddha & south east Asian culture? And whether it was created by Africans or not. I don't believe it was, but I would like undeniable evidence that'll prove it was or wasn't.

Yes and no. He was black but not african. You have to change the way you were taught about how the world once was. Most people in the world were of black/brown skin and had some of the same traits to where you can see they were related. Once white racism came into play the seperation began. I dont know if this has been posted but check it out. Notice how the buddha looked. He could easily pass as an original inhabitant of a south africa.

Recognize that th

Everybody comes from Africa. Are you going to say that Greek & Roman history is African history???

I already know that the whole world was dark-skinned originally. It wasn't whites that separated dark-skinned people because dark-skinned people already viewed each other as different.

That knowledge didn't originate in Egypt because Egyptians were copying other nations.

I knew you were going to say Egypt. I hear this argument all the time from Afrocentric "know it alls". Anybody who's educated on Egyptian history would rip that argument apart.

My Art History prof. a Russian taught me that Egyptians influenced Greeks and the ppl of Crete who lent their skills to the mycenaeans.

Maybe their religion. But their knowledge of science and medicine is original and if not original, it came from other dark ppls in the region. For example, the pyramids come from mesopotamian ziggurats that Imhotep saw while visiting Gudea who was a short round man worshipped as a god for his knowledge. He lived to be over 200 and it is believed that he taught imhotep his secrets as imhotep lived to be over 150. Imhotep is confirmed black and from the depictions of Gudea I've seen, he has black in him. <----Gudea peep the afro and nose

That wasn't the point of why i posted it. You have a brain, put two and two together.

Yeah I know, no need to get nasty. I meant that outside of the context of this discussion, the video is inaccurate. Additionally, you could use a better source to prove your point. If this was an official debate and you were called on that it would be omitted.

The problem with your post is that, you arent educated so you're making an assumption based on your perception of Africans. Kind of exposed yourself

if it were a real debate I would be getting paid and have more to lose. Im not typing all day about something most womt even care to believe since they have their minds made up.
