What started the Renaissance?

Afrocentrism is the biggest cancer to plague this world. Their memes surrounding historical European figures being black are fucking laughable.

AYO white boi didu kno dat Celts were blak niggaz?

He probably thinks Persians and Arabs were niggers so even more wewuzing than usual. At this rate they're gonna claim that everyone but I guess the Eskimos were niggers, and probably even the Eskimos.

>1850: Our people are enslaved, maybe we can find solace in the fact that the jews, like us, were also once enslaved, but were eventually freed because they kept praying to the Lord.
>1950: No no no what if we wuzn't like the jews, but we actually wuz jews? We are da God's chosen, the day of judgement is coming soon whitey!
>2017: FUK DAT SHIT CUH WE WUZNT DA JEWS WE WUZ DA PHARAOHS N SHIET WE OWNED ALL DEM HONKEYS DAS RITE
Blacks are probably the only race that got progressively even more idiotic with time instead of improving like everyone else.

The Renaissance didn't happen /thread

We all know people like Petrarch set the Renaissance in motion. Re-discovery of ancient Greek/Roman texts and ideas which fueled the ambition to surpass them.
>But muh Muslims preserved the documents!
Preserved them from whom? They were safe in Byzantine hands till you bastards invaded in the 7th century, who knows how many precious docs were lost because of you dumbass camel-fondlers? And after centuries of possessing Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, etc, what did you do? You had like 3 or 4 okay thinkers (2 of them Jews) who did little but write commentaries on Aristotle. Nice one, Ahmed. In no time Europeans snapped up the knowledge and built the modern world and fashioned the globe in its image.

Italians larping as ancient Greco-Romans

>>3014554
That's something John Green would actually believe

>>3014554
It would have happened hundreds of years earlier if the Greeks just let the Persians rule them

The Renaissance was an intellectual dark age so I guess it makes sense.

Basically just the Italians making some dank shekels after and during the crusades. The spaghetti Bois had ships, so they controlled Mediterranean trade. Plus they ferryed guys to allahuakbarstan and bingo bongo bango land.

After the crusades ended they got bored and made some cool art and shit
