Shango, I appreciate your comment, I really do! First off, I acknowledge that our early ancestors may have come from Africa and this is something that is talked about and there's a lot of evidence pointing to that, although what I'm trying to say here is,
Look at the Egypt, once a great empire, weakened through the millenia and fallen consequently conquered and passed down from one empire to the other, just stones remain.
Nubia, just like them or even worse, but still had something going on in terms of art and architecture.
Mali? Don't get me started on this one. By the way, I've been there last year!

We all can agree that despite the contributions Africans have given to many cultures such as the Romans, Greeks, Europeans and to the Americas, one thing is certain: blacks haven't been able to get past tribalism in as much potencial other civilizations have and most blacks who were sent off to the Americas and even inside Africa were indeed captured, tortured and sold by other Africans.
