Why do white's ignore/deny(usually) the N.e.g.r.o.e's contributions to civilization?

Question

*Note~this is not trolling, but rather a serious question. Answer please.*


Countless whites love to say that Civilization started it Mesopotamia and then call them Caucasoid(their artificial naming) even though they are not white. The thing is, YES, we owe countless aspects of civilization to the Sumerians. But at the same time, whites ignore the fact that so many basic aspects of civilization that the Sumerians consolidated. Not the mention that Africans(blacks) began right after this and contributed much to mathematics, architecture, art forms, military, astronomy etc. VERY SOON after. What's more the Sumerians are not white so it is odd that whites will teach about their civilization and not ours. It doesn't make any since to put them in such a generic "race" such as "Caucasoid". Also the Arabs who contributed much to civilization also were influenced by blacks just as the Arabs influenced us. Their very language has African parts. And Yes WHITES HAVE CONTRIBUTED MANY POSITIVE THINGS TO HISTORY! But they still ignore other race's contributions. And for the user(s) that say that whites were nonexistent beings at the time all of this was happening, you are absolutely correct. This however DOES NOT diminish the contributions of the black race.

Answer 1

name 1 well civilized black nation!!! name JUST ONE!!!!! pure black nation that is civilized and wealthy



one that didnt get help from other races

Answer 2

-Civilization did start in Mesopotamia. It's not just a matter of it being something "white people love to say."

-Caucasian does not equal white.

-Can you name what scientific, military, and architectural innovations came out of black civilizations that still have an impact on humanity today?

-You claim "(the Arabs') language has African parts." What language are you referring to, exactly? Arabic? Arabic is a Semitic language that originates in Mesopotamia, but has been spread throughout Africa due to Islamic imperialism. Any African influence on the language would have taken place during Islam's expansion into the continent.



It is silly to think that blacks have contributed absolutely nothing to humanity. Of course they have, particularly in the fields of art. however when compared to other races such as the Aztecs, Mayans, Indians, Chinese, Mesopotamians, etc... contributions from blacks in the field of science just simply do not measure up. I'm sorry that this is not a PC thing to assert, but it is true. And then the reaction by many Afrocentrists to this is by entirely making up history, or by twisting the research done by (white) historians to prove their point, like Warrior. And if you try to present them with evidence they are wrong, they just say "well whites lie." This is why I don't try to reason or argue with Afrocentrists anymore. They start with a hypothesis and go to any lengths to prove it right, which is the exact antithesis of the scientific method.

Answer 3

Civilization did not start in Mesopotamia. It wasn't even a organized nation state until much later! Civilization started in Nile Valley Africa with the Unification of Narmer which was the first advanced independent nation state in the world.



Tom Servo - Imo. I believe those white historians to be incorrect. I mean we don't even know how far back Egypt goes, And a city state is different from nation state.



"A city-state is an independent country whose territory consists of a city which is not administered as part of another local government.



Whereas nation-states rely on a common heritage, be it linguistic, historical, economic, etc., the city-state relies on the common interest in the function of the urban center. The urban center and its activity supplies the livelihoods of all urbanites inhabiting the city-state."

eww - Barbados.

Answer 4

Blacks have contributed a lot.



I've also read that there was a carved number system on a tree in the Congo dating back centuries. This shows that blacks on there own also contributed when it came to education or language many centuries back.

Answer 5

Who gives a flying fook. Where the hell are all these white people that you guys are claiming are saying all this? I can give a crap what people did 100s, if not longer, years ago. Dont care what white people did, dont care what black people did. Dont give a **** what that Einstein dude did. None of that junk matters to me. Whats done is done, dwelling on it dont matter. I can barely care what people do nowadays.

Answer 6

acting like no one did anything important or significant except whites is part of the racist white supremacist culture that dominated the white community and, though not nearly as prevalent as it was 35 years ago, still dominates much of the white community

Answer 7

WELL YOU DID NOT CITE ANY ARTICLES TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIMS.
