The point is- why talk about a country or nation like it's a joke, especially if you're European, and know your people had a lot to do with it?
Holding up your fake economies, that especially you, know are held up by illegal trade such as drugs, and the rest is the ability to print money and fool people into believing in it.
You and the birth rate... Look at a different answer that != less Black people alive. Compare land mass of Africa vs. U.S.A., or get real deep and compare it with the isle of England. London's a pretty big city... not a lot of arable land there... how do they do it?
You are right about you being culturally closer to Britain, but wrong about me. You have to know what culture means, first of all, then what it produces to understand that I would have a lot in common with my Africans in Africa, in just the same way you, the White African, would have more in common with your British people. I realize my Americaness, from being to foreign places, but I also realize a difference between me and America also, which if you really think about it, isn't hard to feel for a lot of people. It's a land of immigrants and mixtures of different roots, and Black people's roots in america don't go too far usually.
The rennaisance: 1500-1600s? Compare that with Egypt or Ankor Waat, or Timbuktu. That's why it's called a rennaisance- a renewing. Of what? old Europe? when they just reached that level? Try the Black Plague.
>Actually Renaissance means "rebirth" or "revival" >not "a renewing", as in the humanistic revival of >the sciences, art and learning? As for the >plague, are you insinuating Africa has never had >any type of biological epidemics?
No, I'm saying look at the timeline. Europe in the Renaissance era was more like 7000-8000 years into civilization. It took them that long. What's before rebirth?
As for your literary works, what's so great about print, when all you print is lies, propaganda, and marketing schemes? Did you know that Aesop was an Aethiopian? How old are those stories?
"What is Africa doing about its ailments?"
What is Europe and the U.S. doing about Africa's ailments? Nothing- except making money apparently...
The point about Colombus, , is that how can Europe/Europeans claim Aviation if they really didn't know where they're going?
And the point of my whole post is that you don't know what you're talking about, so STFU. You've been fed lies for a long time, people are on Slashdot talking all day about b.s. that's going on (George W., DHS, governments scheming), you know it's going on, you let it go on because you promote it like a mindless idiot. So really, *you* need to watch your words, because your stupid, white words have a lot more violence and power attached to it in the form of "foreign policy".
No one is free from ignorance, but that doesn't give you the excuse to build up a big fat bank of it.
According to my logic, Egyptians are Africans, and some Africans are immigrants to Africa, and some Africans have never been to Africa.
I bet my Black-american culture holds more words, mannerisms, values, goals, cuisines inline with Africa than yours. That's why if a cat gives birth in an oven, you don't call the kittens muffins.
Africans just sitting in the shade of their thorn trees waiting for whites to tell them what to do... since whites did it so quickly.
Oh wait, we forget about Mussolini dumping so many chemical weapons on Ethiopia that it led to them being outlawed by the European League of Nations/UN.
Or plantations run by exploitative colonizers, or wars...
Who started development? Who had the first cities and civilizations? Who started agriculture, botany, and anatomy?
Don't be so stupid to think that others are as stupid as you are to think of something so simple as a solution.
So if you were born in China, you'd be more Chinese than Charlie Chan?...this is what happens when stupid people use words...pure backward logic and fake words. You have a discussion about development, but don't even know what development is.
I'm Black, but I have a niece with blue eyes, blonde hair, and light skin. With both her parents being Black, is she somehow white? Can Black people make white people, but not the other way around? Think about that and you'll find out how African you really are.
This shows how development is seen through socially-skewed lenses in a number of ways.
Primarily- using GDP,based upon US dollars, for countries outside of the U.S. is wrong. Why would a country have U.S. dollars unless the country is trying to trade/be more like the U.S.? Following that line of thought, I guess Las Vegas could be considered a pinnacle of civilization with its money circulation, smooth roads, bright lights and power usage.
Secondly, how would most cities outside of the U.S. compare with U.S. cities? Including European ones, Italy's jacked-up, thin roads...
Most of the world's cities, if you bother to travel to them, look like Kingston, JA, which looks like parts of Memphis, TN, which looks like... and on.
Wish you luck?
Can't you see that the whole WTO thing was made to make your island perish? Appealing to the slash-dotters here for luck is the wrong way to look since they still think you're "lost in the Blackness" living in a coconut treehouse. But you have the internet now, and you can see why you might not want it or consider it as a mark of civilization.
The rennaisance: 1500-1600s? Compare that with Egypt or Ankor Waat, or Timbuktu. That's why it's called a rennaisance- a renewing. Of what? old Europe? when they just reached that level? Try the Black Plague.
Printing press- ooh- more propaganda, Christianity promotion with a Bible revised by Europeans that was based upon African texts.
Penicillin- to fight syphilis? Which was spread by who?
Electricity- OK, but how about irrigation, and plumbing? That would've helped Europe out during the Black Plague. Too bad Africa and India had it for millenia before them.
Aviation? Why are Native Americans called Indians?
Those early explorers were thankful to have African Moors on those early trips to get them to dry land somewhere and spread syphilis, even if they still didn't know where they had landed.
Space exploration- 1960's "We made it to the moon!" When Africans in Mali (near Timbuktu) could've told you what the moon was made of, how it was created, and there's nothing there a long time ago. They knew about Pluto and stars that existed, and their composition, before the stars could be seen in the 20th century.
And yes, the internet does suck especially when you have this ARPA-created b.s. spreading more and more disinformation and propaganda by moronic Americans raised on Willie Lynch proverbs in their stupid public schools designed to keep them ignorant consumers looking to buy a solution for their every malady.
Hey Europeans gave the world HIV medicine (and it doesn't work- but it costs though), nuclear weapons, dildos, US dollars, Reality TV, computers that don't have translations for African languages so what's the point anyway...
I guess their just not white and mighty enough on dark old Africa.
Can any of the white countries make a pyramid that will last for 1000s of years and will teach you about astronomy, medicine, spirituality, and (most importantly) yourself? Doesn't come with a UPC code though, doesn't make any money for "1st World/G8" economies, but oh well!
Dancing Santa sounds like one of the many Africa experts who's never been to Africa, and is afraid of Africans in his own country (and probably believes in other lies like Santa himself). I realize you were raised on the same propaganda, but do me a favor and keep your Willie Lynch racial stereotyped Africa assessments to yourself unless you go there. Africa is the home of humanity, and even your esteemed "classical" scholars from Greece and Rome looked up to esteemed African institutions of learning even though they didn't completely understand them (and there were more than just Egypt, or Timbuktu).
"...sorry to the civilians who got taken out, but a population has the responsibility to keep it's government under control, and they failed at that, as we are failing today. A lesson we need to learn."
A lesson I think we know about, but how does one learn to deal with George W.? Am I to be blamed for his actions even if I didn't vote for him, or he stole the election? Assasinate him to keep bin Laden happy?
People get real brave and stuff when typing...
Here in North America (Canada & the U.S.), if you're Black and don't have ID, you will be locked up for 72 hours until they run you through the FBI database and try to pin some charge on you.
Things are so bad now, we're actually talking about how stupid DHS is on Slashdot, like it's not a glaring fact apparent to everyone. How is it that authorities can say something so stupifyingly stupid and then not have anyone immediately yell out "That's so stupid!" Can't carry nail-clippers on a plane because of terrorism!?? It's gonna take more than chatting on Slashdot. I feel stupid even illuminating a point that's already as bright as the sun.
1984 in China?
It's already here in the U.S. and rest of the world.
We're at war with our former friends now.
Bush has Mini-truth already (WMDs...), Goldstein isn't a Jew, but an Arab. You already know about John Poindexter... cell phones are required to have chips that can locate you, plus open for tapping. TLAs are newspeak.Mini-luv is around the corner...
too many examples...
Ollie Whitehouse?
Has to be a FCC/CIA alias...
Anyway, Bluetooth security? Anyone read that FCC disclosure about how the device can be operated, turned-on/off remotely? There is no security from the U.S.
Slashdot Mirror
What about the "fluke"ness of England?
The point is- why talk about a country or nation like it's a joke, especially if you're European, and know your people had a lot to do with it?
