Horseshit, which part of Africa? I've been through Ghana, Benin, Togo, and Nigeria, as well as a pitstop in Djibouti when I was in the Navy. Don't try to pull the wool over my eyes, faggot. I know a liar when I see one.

It's all a shithole with varying incidents of Arab and European civilization being passed off as black accomplishment. The only redeeming thing about it is the beautiful animals that the Proto-humans are hunting to extinction.

It speaks for itself mate.. The absolutely cringe that is africentric revisionism is a travesty to serious historians everywhere. I'm only correcting the record; this fairytale negrophilia that has crept into every corner of academia is an absolute cancer, and I will call it out for what it is whoever it rears it's illegitimate face. And honestly, their science is superior to ours in that it was objective on racial issues. They didn't set out trying to undermine the status quo.

*Afrocentric* or whatever the fuck they're calling it now, I don't care.

But the Atlantis thing was clearly a jest, and you blew your stack. /his/ is one of the few places-when not being trolled- where African history is discussed as objectively as possible.

This always makes me laugh, as if diamonds are worth anything if you have no-one to trade with.

I'm going to start studying it in my own time soon.
I love going as far back as we can with many nations of today to see how things were, and Africa in particular interests me.
