@PinochetsCommieCopter What do you count as "black history"? How far back are we going here? Cause if we go back far enough, then our history would be majority comprised of living in caves. Not exactly that much more prestigious.

@alyx You can go as short as 300 years or as long as 3000 years and the statement about black history remains true

@PinochetsCommieCopter So you're going back far enough to establish that "black men dumb", but not that far, because you're skipping right into when European and Asian civilizations are established. Go back another 3000 years and you could laugh at Europeans too for not even knowing how to write.
A few thousand years is NOTHING in the history of human kind. Just last week I read that they found hominim bones in my own country dating back almost 2 million years. Humanity, in one form or another, has owned Europe for 2 million years, and you're bickering about the last few thousand years?

@alyx you dont seem to have good reading comprehension i said you can even count only the last 300 years and it would still apply but with whites and asians you would have to go back more than 6000 years for it to be true

And in millions of years of humanity, a few thousand years means literally nothing. That's what you don't get. Us inventing this or that some thousand years before other parts of the world means jack shit. It's mostly luck that Europe and Asia's climate favored humans to partake in other kinds of activities. Plus or minus a few thousand years is basically statistical error. Not proof of European or Asian superiority.
If European hominin had writing for a million years, and Africans still lived in mud huts till recently, as you say, THAT would have been proof of European superiority. That WOULD have been a significant, noteworthy time difference.

If you want to believe and prove that Africans are inherently inferior, I don't care. But I am gonna correct you when your reasoning is stupid.

@alyx " a few thousand years means literally nothing" yes it does its literally ALL OF RECORDED HUMAN HISTROY and in all that time blacks couldn't even invent a wheel or a 2 story building or hell even invent a written language, they are just animals that have been taught to read and write by whites, asians and arabs
@PinochetsCommieCopter @alyx And left to their own devices, they revert to mud huts and cannibalism even today.

^See, this is actually a better argument.

Again, in 2 million years of hominins, a few thousand years means jack shit. All you're witnessing is a coincidence of when recording and efficiently passing down knowledge through the generations started. Europe and Asia had a head start with this process, but there's nothing that would have prevented it happening tens of thousands of years earlier or later. In evolutionary terms, a few thousand years is the equivalent of you being 5 minutes early to catch a train. That's down to pure luck. Nothing more. We were lucky. You're effectively condemning a continent because they were only 1 minute early for the train. That's simply a bad argument, born out of your ignorance of evolutionary history.

Want to condemn Africa, criticize the tire torture thing.
