There was no argument you presented that I haven't already answered. You tried

I don't deny that part.
Except what this link you shared says is that there were black sailors among the Europeans (and specifically among Columbus' fleet).
That's quite a difference from saying they independently made that voyage thousands of years before.
Fixed that for ya
A simple vessel could take the Canary Current from the west coast of Africa to northern Brazil in two weeks or less.Ivan Van Sertima said this years ago.
Ancient Mali one of the richest nations in recorded history. Researchers have taken raft boats from the African Coast to the South American Coast with no sail, just the currents. But that's unbelievable. Instead the accepted worldwide history is the Vikings, a group of people so poor they had to travel to other lands to gather resources, made it to America. Not the muthafukkas who were rich as fukk, advanced as fukk with the largest university at the time and sitting on a mountain of gold...nah![]()
I expected better from you of all people to be honest.
That IS pretty far-fetched. Mali trading with Olmecs? How was that trade even done? As recently as 100 years ago just going from NY to California took forever until the Panama Canal was built. Mali to Mexico? You're talking about a 6,200 mile journey....in the 1300s. Really dude? (edit - maybe you were being sarcastic...not sure)No, the guys said that Mali Kings traded with Olmecs, Gold for corn..... Not at far fetched.

It aint no diss young blood....
But i"ve been living long enough to come to the conclusion that if they don't treat you right, they damn sure aint gon teach you right.....
Keep doing what you doing.... and bringing that knowledge... thecoli needs a lot more posters like you
OK breh![]()

and did you read the Atlanta Black Star link that was posted in the OP?

There's some weak arguments made to say the least.
There's quite a difference in hiring a person who is an experienced sailor...and assuming that the sailor knows there's an entire continent in between his destination (India).Breh wouldn't have been the pilot if he wasn't already an expert. This was a major voyage. Why would Columbus put his trust in "the inferior, uncivilized" negro? Cacology or the history we are made privy to is a big farce
