I'm not a racist, but I am...

This forum is full of it, but it's all true. The facts are there. Maybe there is a little hyperbole, sure black people can become doctors, fly planes etc... I'm a reasonable human being, I was raised in a liberal environment. I have bullied before, but never been racist and I see bigotry as immature, however I can't escape the fact that they are indeed very unusual looking.

"golly, niggers are hideous with their buck teeth, black skin and brillo heads. Egads."

Just do a google search for skull shapes of different races and albino black people... CAucasian and mongoloid skulls are about the same and both these races have obviously exceeded negrito races in culture and civilisation. Even the obscure native americans constructed early civilisations. Their hunter gatherers tribes only existed due to their isolation, deprived of the circumstnaces that allow for agrarian civilisation. Given another 1000 years after the SPanish arrived, and the Gulf of Mexico would be like the Mediteranean circa 1000 B.C..

Though I can't say the same for black civilisations, they were not isolated, theywere exposed to the Egyptians, who were arabic, im not one of these nuts who thinks they are white. I really am not a racist or even a far right conservative...

I can't contain what i think anymore and I shouldn't be afraid of expressing my thoughts. They do look so animal like, it is as if they are a relic from evolution before human civilisation. In fact that's what they are, the only tribal systems outside of sub-saharran africa left by around 1300 were in areas which didn't have much food. Yet in the rich jungles of africa they still lived in the stone age, never utilising the wide range of plants there.

I think the out of africa theory is correct and that blacks haven't evolved much whilst caucasians and mongoloids have had to deal with the ice age.

How should I approach these facts rationally? Liberals say I should just ignore them, conservatives say I should become a whtie supremacist nut. Surely there is another way? Surely there is a way to get society to accept these facts without sinking into depths of paranoia and stupidity.

Iron/Forging

Still, early sub-Saharan Africans developed metallurgy at a very early stage, possibly even before other peoples. [/b]Around 1400 BC, East Africans began producing steel in carbon furnaces (steel was invented in the west in the eighteenth century).[/b] The Iron Age itself came very early to Africa, probably around the sixth century BC, in Ethiopia, the Great Lakes region, Tanzania, and Nigeria. Iron technology, however, only spread slowly across Africa; it wasn't until the first century AD that the smelting of iron began to rapidly diffuse throughout the continent.

Stone buildings.

From the late 10th to the 15th century Zimbabwe was the centre of the great empire of the Karanga. The ruins that can be seen today originate from that period of wealth and achievements. People lived in Great Zimbabwe until the 17th century and possibly longer. The city fell into disuse thereafter. It was rediscovered by Europeans in 1867.

Great Zimbabwe extends over an area of 24 hectares. Much work is still needed to understand its civilization in detail. Elements of the city studied to date include a large fortification in a strategic hilltop location, with many rooms and a complicated array of passageways. In the valley below is an elliptical stone wall next to a tower. Extensive remnants of a drainage system run through the entire valley.

What's that? More?

That great empires existed before and at the time of arrival of the first Europeans is beyond doubt. Ruins of stone houses, walls and fortifications found across today's' Zimbabwe and Mozambique date from the 8th to the 15th century AD. The people had smelters for gold, which they traded along the Indian Ocean coast. Chinese porcelain found in their buildings testifies for their extensive trading contacts.

The Muslim kingdom of Mali flourished in West Africa from the 13th to the 16th century. Its wealth and advanced state of development can be judged from the pilgrimage to Mecca undertaken by its emperor Musa in 1324. On his trip through Mauritania, Algeria and Cairo he was accompanied by 60,000 men including 12,000 slaves. The infrastructure required to feed such a convoy during a long desert voyage is in itself an achievement of an advanced civilization. Everyone including the slaves was wearing the finest brocade and Persian silk. The emperor was on horseback, and 500 slaves walked in front, each carrying a staff with gold decorations. 80 camels at the end of the caravan each carried 300 pounds of gold. Musa's generosity with gold as presents caused the collapse of the Cairo gold market; it took more than a decade to recover.

Musa's voyage effectively put Africa on the world map. The Arab historians of the time could not praise Africa's wealth and culture high enough. Mali's first university was established under Musa's rule.

Unfortunately little is known about the scientific achievements of Africa even from its Islamic times, so systematic has been the destruction when the colonial powers arrived. The kingdom of Benin, known throughout western Africa as a centre of exquisite brass and bronze art, was ransacked and looted by the British colonial army in 1897. The loot, thousands of bronze plaques, is now on display in the British Museum in London. The government of Nigeria and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) are demanding its return to Africa.
