What actual historical evidence do you have that Africans had any interest in travelling to other lands and committing acts of genocide there?

I would suggest that some black people who grew up on chips and junk food just keep their noses out of African business or geo political affairs. Its bad enough that none of you wouldn't have a clue about any pre colonial African political systems, yet you open your so low big mouths on the leaders of those states that you have never heard a thing about. Why don't some of you stick to your knowledge of Elisabitch the second and leave us Africans to talk about our own Nzingha, Yaa Ansatewa, Sankara, Lumumba etc.....honestly, your ignorant opinions are only serving to prove that the cold of the West has frozen your thinking parts of the brain.

You have a point, European controlled countries would not be in power today. Actually asian(chinese) peoples had developed gun powder a little before that time, but decided to isolate themselves around that time. Funny how many of Americas fundamental laws are related to bearing arms.

Actually the technology for the gun was developed in Africa long before Europeans were using it for warfare, thieving and killing. Even the technology for a bomb more powerful than a nuclear bomb resides in African.

Long before white man came to ravage Africa, the technology for these things were there . However, the mindset to use them to cause havoc throughout the world was not.

There is much hidden in our history that we do not know............And that many (including our own) would not believe.

Respect


There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!

There is nothing negative about my post! Quite frankly, i am puzzled why some of you keep talking about Africa when it has NOTHING to do with you?confused3Its NOT part of you, its historymay havebeen part of your history, but so far most of you have repeated that you do not want to dwell in the PAST,so why care about what we would have done with gun powder?

Alexander had weapons that one would claim was superior to that of the Africans, yet, the pinky run for his life instead of facing Queen Candace's MIGHTY army. The fact of the matter is, WE Africans did not care to go conquer other people because the Continent provided for all our needs. MGL posted that book instead of writing a long ass post to cut to the chase and tell you the real deal. Which is that Europeans did NOT just become a "superpower" due to gun powder...lol......greedyness might be easier for some people's vocabulay perhaps?

Please dont call me ignorant cus I dont agree with your views
Africa problems stem from corruption -- official, top-level plunder -- then at last we are moving closer to truth. Corruption is the cancer eating at the heart of all African Countries. It is what sustains Africa's strongmen in power, and the money they pilfer, when spread generously throughout there henchmen, is what allows them to continue to command allegiance long after their last shreds of legitimacy are gone. There people starve and suffer while they live like fat cats and enjoy there wealth stolen from the mouths of there people!!

Why you scared of the truth?
African countries av long been saddled with poor, even malevolent leadership: predatory thugs, military-installed autocrats, economic illiterates, and puffed-up posturers. By far the most egregious examples come from Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zimbabwe -- countries that have been run into the ground despite their abundant natural resources.
Dis as gone on for to long and even wen a good man comes to power greed and tappings of granduar soon take over and the devil take him!!

By the way! your link dont work gal!!
