#‎The_Re_Writing_Of_Black_History‬
I have seen a recent trend of blacks trying to desperately prove that black-African society was more advanced than the world apparently realized prior to colonization. They are trying to address areas such as architecture, education, astronomy, technology, general societal infrastructure etc

What a joke!

After reading many of these I have concluded that those of you writing these articles are making a feeble and piss-poor attempt to do so. In fact your attempt is so weak it highlights the vulnerable underbelly of the desperate African who is trying to pathetically prove to the world that there is more to our history than there really is...
Even if African society had advanced medicine and "the first" university, and the pyramids (I am pretty darn sure no African engineered those) - there is very little that is accurately/reliably documented in the annals of history which actually provides the detail (and multiple-source corroboration) needed to truly substantiate the extent to the claims we hear. All you black pundits out there - there is clearly is a lack of solid supportive data for these claims.
The fact is, African tribes/societies were not as sophisticated and forward thinking as European and Asian societies at that time in world history, related to the areas of architecture, education, astronomy, technology and general societal infrastructure.

Let's face it, even now we exhibit fairly primitive tribal tendencies in the way we try to govern countries - we can't overcome tribal lores, we can't organize ourselves well in the various arms of government, we fall prey to which-craft and superstitions that affect our ability to make logical decisions. We have broken down a first world country into fragments of what it was 20 years ago, clearly due to tribalistic tendencies, which some might say are proof that we have not evolved, and never will evolve.

Our actions force scholars to wonder if black society is actually devolving since the period in history when we apparently engineered and constructed the pyramids, and invented telescopes. It's almost laughable is it not? Where are all these artisans today? Let me repeat -where are all these accomplished artisans today, and how did we lose all that knowledge in Southern Africa?
Accept your blackness my African brothers! Be proud of who you really are TODAY. Accept our limitations, and don't put in presences or create stick houses and make the rest of us look like lying fools.

We have many things to be proud about, but don't lower yourself by trying to embellish our history.
Let's look forward and encourage our people to excel at everything they do in the future. Let's teach our children to be engineers and architects and professors, and build our own pyramids in South Africa -- My God we have built NOTHING to be proud of really in the 20 years we have ruled this country, we have only torn down and destroyed!

Let's teach our children to be smart, educated, innovative, open and flexible, competitive, disciplined and responsible.
Let's not show them that it is acceptable to pilfer through putrid rubbish - we need to find ways to rise above that if we are truly the civilized people we apparently say we are.
