It's like some of you idiots think the world is only 240 years old since the independence of the US started. Let me enlighten some of you ignoramuses. The US reign is a small spec to father time and barely fills a dot in his eye.
You don't realize how much of history is white washed in US based public educational institutions. Let me educate you buffoons.
For some reason, you think Europeans rescued Africans from running around Africa like animals and civilized them when that couldn't be furthest from the truth.
During the 14th and 15th centuries, the entire European continent was riddled with poverty, famine, feudalism and diseases. The entire continent was in an economic depression, especially Western Europe. Europe's economy was also weakened by the steady loss of precious metals to Asian nations, who would accept only gold in payment for trade purchases.
While Europe was enduring stagnating socioeconomic depressions, West Africa was known for its flourishing empires, major regional trading centers and for producing some of the world's finest artifacts. Nations throughout the Meiterranean area were drawn to these West African trading centers by rumors of massive wealth. Three large empires, Ghana, Mali and Songhay, drew European, Moorish and Arabian traders into West Africa's great trading cities, such as Gao and Timbktu. Arabian and Moorish traders routinely sought West African cash crops and natural resources especially gold, silver, and ivory salt.
Point being is Africa was on it's 3rd empire while Europeans were particpating in cannalbalism, dying from disease and starvation and didn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.
Some of you clowns need to learn history and realize the history of this world goes further back than the US' fight for independence in 1776 or whenever it was.
