That's cool. Anyone that denies that the Nigerians or Ethiopians had a lot of history and functioning civilization is a dumb /pol/ack, but don't pretend it wasn't Islamic Arabs that helped move Africa forward, just as it was Mediterraneans that moved the Germans and Scandis out of the huts.

The dislocation people feel in African nations and South America is often blamed on colonialism, but I think the technological revolution made it happen pretty much everywhere.

Between mass migration and the advance in tech, European civilization is totally unmoored. Asia is similar.

Africa also lost so much due to the lack of written languages. Also, African civilizations only covered small area of the huge landmass and many weren't contemporaneous, so you never had compitition to build national identities on the way early Eurasian people's did.

No one has ever said they don't have culture, that was never for debate. If you have even a semblance of a society, you have culture.

The vast majority of Africans who say they love their old motherland will actively never step foot in Africa, because they know as shitty as their life may be here, it's way better than a lot of people over there.

of cause they had culture. it's just not on the same level as european, asian or pre-colonial american cultures

OP, do you know much about modern Africa as well? I read a bit about Paul Kagame and he seemed pretty cool, and I know about Sankara, but what other post-colonial leaders/countries have an interesting history? I'd like to get into Africa (post-colonialism) more, but don't know what would be an interesting start.

Real talk here: These busts and casts date back from the 16th century, long after the Portugese introduced metal casting to Africa. If your compilation of African cultural achievements barely makes up a thread on image boards, maybe you shouldn't boast about it too much in the first place.

No, the ones posted in the OP date back to the 14th century, well before Africans had any contact with Portuguese

>If your compilation of African cultural achievements barely makes up a thread on image boards, maybe you shouldn't boast about it too much in the first place.
You're not completely wrong, but most European or, rather, world civilizations have contributed very little. If you'd compile a list of achievements it will be dominated by Anglos and Germans, followed by French, Italians and Slavs, along with Chinese and Japanese. Many of them end up being American citizens and a significant percentage are Jews.

>>3227943
That's actually not true, Nigerians have been lost-wax casting since 900AD

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Head_from_Ife

This is just one example from the later period, still before Europeans came and influenced West Africa.

>>3227977
Well shit, everyone else posted the same thing. The point still stands though. Now if we're talking Portuguese influence, look at the Kongo kingdom.

Nobody is disputing that there is such thing as African culture, just casting aspersions as to its value. My biggest gripe is the lack of written history. I'm not particularly interested in medical journals or artwork, so it's just a preference in my case.

>>3228059
If they had widespread written systems even if they were based on other systems (like the Phoenician turned Greek turned Latin script), it would have changed so much.

Potentially both (a few slaves who actually got their story told from the 1700s were captured royalty from other tribes) but mostly the latter. Also, stop excluding other blacks who were brought over to the Caribbean, Canada (briefly), and Latin America.

I'm just not impressed, it's not at all comparable to what was happening in Europe or Asia during the same time, regardless of what that time period was.

>>3232962
I have an extreme bias towards Europe, its history and its culture. That said, I find the goings-on in Southwest Asia, the Indian subcontinent and east Asia fascinating. Hell, the various hordes in between we're cool too. But for whatever reason I find myself with absolutely zero interest in either Native American history and African history. Don't know why. Is it just less impressive or rich? I'm inclined to think that but I can't help but think I'm missing something

"african culture" as such doesn't exist moron. if would be better if you specified about what culture, what age, what location you are talking about. are you talking about christian Ethiopia? are you talking about north african arabified culture? are you talking about the west coast tribal kingdoms? are you talking about the zulus and the bantus in south africa?

no point in making a thread if you take on such a broad undefined topic.

Me, personally, like the current culture of over population, mass rape, putting tires around people's necks and setting them alight, AIDS, and murdering albino people for their bones or whatever.
