Dont misunderstand me, Im not knocking any achievements. Im aware of Mali, Songhai and other empires, Im just saying its a fact that there werent as many as in Europe, Middle-East and Asia, and also they developed fairly late, probably because of trade/contact with Islam. http://geacron.com/home-en/ Look at this map and scroll to the 1400s. Now Im sure African culture in general is very rich, I havent studied that very much, perhaps I will.

Next what?

It depends on your perspective. It is a fact that Sub-Saharan Africa hasnt had many empires, you can pretty much count them on one hand, North Africa is different, they have been going hard for 5000 years. The reason why is like I said earlier, the Sahara that cut them off from the rest of the world and the Congo which barely Europeans could trek through until they started using malaria medicine and boats to trek around the continent.

Music can say so much more than language because it is not limited by words, music is so deeper than language.

Because were at stage of human development that is devoid of "spirit", get it? So we need to fill ourselves up with spirits to feel good and free ourselves from the monkey mind. You have to have compassion for people who work shitty 9-5 jobs, dont have time to meditate and want to get a quick sense of relaxation. Besides we tried prohibition and it failed miserably!

Lack of trust in authority is one of the key signs of a coming revolution or fascism imo.

Well, Im glad Conservatives are making parodies of themselves so we dont have to.

Paaaause...

So glad you like it!

I don't really read history books yet, Im just getting started (World history is so vast) so Im just learning the basics of every event right now, later on I will choose maybe about 10 books to do a deep dive into the most interesting eras (or my favourites). So nowadays I just search the internet for all the info I can find, Youtube, Wikipedia, Geacron for maps of different eras, doesnt matter, as long as I get the gist. Favourite History Youtubers are probably Fire Of Learning, Flashpoint, Ryan Reeves, I also like watching a guy called Terry, hes a history teacher reacting to videos, hes a chill dude. But I've created a a little system for myself after a lot of trial and error that I think finally works decent. Basically I create a Powerpoint for myself with pictures from eras and events and make little points with information that outline the basics of the events. My ultimate goal is to have all of it in my head, haha, crazy ambition I know!

Thanks, guys! Learning history has definitely changed my perspective on myself, my country and my society. Probably in more ways than I realize. Just two years ago when I started I was almost completely ignorant of world history.

1700s was brutal!

Wow, you people will bend over backwards to find some evidence for your race theories, huh.

Im no expert on Geopolitics but CaspianReport on Youtube seems to be fairly high quality.

Its a perspective. I dont find it very useful, I dont really believe anything matters, but that doesnt mean Im a nihilist, nihilism is very dark and I dont see the point in moping around all day, create a happy life for yourself instead.

But thats just society in general, like I said, noone is forcing you to wear pants, there is nothing morally wrong with being naked, yet you put on your pants in the morning without even thinking about it. Perhaps Hijab is no different, they just think that is so obvious that women should wear it, it feels weird not to, and then they make up excuses as to why women who dont wear hijab are sexualised immoral brainwashed westerners.

Its unfalsifiable. I would bet that animals have some sort of ego though.

I genuinely thought he had some interest in this topic but I know realize he is just another racist trying to hide his intentions, I threw pearls before swine.

I have been mulling over this questions for an hour... I also think it had alot to do with the Sahara desert, societies grow by trading with eachother, going to war and pillaging. If you look at a map of the world you can see that the civilizations that have developed most strongly were the ones that could connect with eachother without obstruction, you can see a long belt of civilization from Spain, Rome, Middle-East all the way to India and China. Unfortunately the Sahara is so huge that nobody could trek over it (or felt the need to) to see whats on the other side and hence the Sub-Saharan African people never got to trade etc with the rest of the world and so they had no reason to develop much.

I would say its identification with perception... But I dont know how this identification happens... If I did I would be Awake

I love his verse on Robes by Freddie Gibbs!

...But also, North Africa has been highly developed for 2000 years, what about Egypt, Ethopia, The Islamic Empires, Mali and Mansa Musa, are those not Africa?

Its important to be nuanced about that I think, you dont know a muslim womans story so you shouldnt think off the bat that she is being oppressed, some people are just deeply religious. Personally I dont like that women have to cover their beautiful faces but thats none of my fucking business.

Its not necessarily fake news, Its also how they paint a situation and what they leave out of the story, and how much of their own opinion they put into it. I definitely wouldnt call CNN fake news, fake news is more like Breitbart and Infowars, you can tell just by visiting the front page on Breitbart that they have a far-right agenda.
