Why do Afrocentrists keep perpetuating the myth that blacks were in the Americas before Columbus

[Monster]

Indigenous people of central and south america share similar features with Africans because of the climate.

Hot tropic climate - big nose

Face it, no stinky brown people ever built no society. Blacks & Whites are the only people on Earth who have ever done anything that matters

Nevermind. Found videos on one of the professors who did the peer review on Van Sertima's book, that article linked by OP.

Seems like he's really offended by the notion that his "pure blooded Taino" genetics being wiped out by Africans.



He doesn't like that, for example, Puerto Ricans consider themselves of African descent.

Like I said..... You definitely don't know...... just like the other 99%

No I just watched the video he wasn't offended and he didn't say any thing you posted

He said he has black and euro genetics and that puertoricans dismiss it

Stop trying to make him seem racist cuz he debunked sertima

How is calling out pseudo history being Eurocentric ? So it's cool to make up fake black history call and all deniers c00ns and cacs ?

My bad, I forgot Europeans civilized black people is that what you want me to believe.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Exactly!!!

Everyone agrees that humans all hail from Africa but apparently when you're looking at a clearly African descended person, e.g. An aborigine, isn't of African descent but Melanesian (an Asian with melanin) really???

Goodbye.

White folks just confusing everyone with their bullshyt. They even change time by "day light savings" like they have all the time in the world.

What year(s) does "modern" constitute? What about the other one that was found with west african teeth mutilation and what they called half negro/half Indian? I know a lot more than that article I posted and have more documented information.

It's just a black person that was found in that region they want to say he is mixed to not admit that we were there before Cacs. They funny like that.

 

[Mess World]

I didn't say all Afrocentric history is false and I didn't say all euro history is valid . I said without reliable sources I can't choose to throw my money on whichever one I believe in my heart instead of my eyes

I think the Malians came over. They speak about it in their history and i believe there was a scientist who traveled from the Western coast of Africa to Brazil on a rowboat simply using the wind currents. Plus, there's alot of unusual things that were found buried in places pre-Columbus around South America that were African in origin when there was supposed to have been no contact.

Oh I know, I just wanted state it that way because that's what was being "reported" in 1974. There's a reason why this hasn't been opened up since the 70s. There are a lot more similar reports scattered across the Caribbean. I'm waiting for @mess to break down to me the 2nd skeleton found, I want to hear his opinion. I had these same questions at one point in my life as the O.P but I can say with confidence I know we've been here. Do your own research

 

[blackzeus]

I can't find any data to support this argument all I found was paintings of blacks that were painted after 1492.

There has never been any excavation of African skulls in large quantities that would make evidence that there were black villages

Natives in the jungles of the Americas have zero African DNA, so how were the Olmecs an African civilization.

All I was able to find was how the kingdoms of Mali might of said or not that they wanted to travel across the Atlantic. but that theory was debunked by professionals.

Gullahs, Moors, Kalifornians, I could go on and on. Not to mention trusting white people to give you accurate data on black history is status

Didnt realize we had so many anthropologists on here.

I'm glad you were all there to tell us these stories.

To answer the question in the thread title:

“Things that may not be true can be made if you repeat them long and often enough, therefore, always repeat statements that will give your race a status and an advantage. That is how the White man has built up his system of superiority. He is always telling you he is superior and he has written history and literature to prove it. You must do the same.”

– Marcus Garvey

So basically it's all
