Maybe. But mainstream historians don't hold their culture above, and ignore all the others (at least, not anymore). They are careful to point out the contributions of asians, indians, egyptians etc (Most of them don't even assert whether the egyptians were black or not, there's really so little evidence we don't know one way or the other)
Besides Egypt, and the Nubians, there really isn't that much to say about Africa. There were people there, and they did shit, but their civilizations numbered fewer, and never had any lasting impact on the civilizations that followed (unlike for example, China, India, or Persia, which had impact EVERYWHERE, including Africa.)
So, I guess I trust the "white" professors more. (actually more accurate to call them mainstream instead of white... there are many historians who follow this mold who are black, and while they will in their classes point out some of the things that africa did, they won't try to assert that they were all important in the ancient world)
