  3. @Bsisisjensnens Snsnsjks Africans had empires and other forms of societies that required farming you know that right? Most of them weren’t Hunter gatherers.

  4.  @marca.8081  India was one of the largest economies on Earth when the British came to it. They plundered years of labor and resources from the Indians. The only good thing they did was treat them so bad they were able to form a National Indian identity and fight for independence.

  5.  Real Deal444  what? There are 54 countries in Africa, pre colonial Africa there were hundreds? Imagine most African countries being like Yugoslavia out of nowhere after decolonization.

  6.  @larsgoran9926  Why is Botswana doing well if blacks cant seem to do anything since that is what you are basically saying?

  7. wonderbarn1111 yeah cause you have visited every single one and their situation has nothing to do with the past of this country. I’m black and i admit a lot of black neighborhoods are bad but not all of them because that is basic common sense. I bet you think that black people cant even form a good neighborhood. Do you?

  8. You also assume all black neighborhoods are bad

  9.  @icarusunited  They weren’t really rich they got wealthy from the materials the black population mines. That is why I don’t understand how people say the apartheid government was less corrupt than the modern gov.

  11.  @jonahb3520  Jews had been leaving in Palestine since they were scattered. The Quran literally tells Muslims to treat Christians and Jews with respect. It was actually Crusaders from Europe who indiscriminately killed Muslims, Jews, and probably Christians as they sacked Jerusalem.

  12.  @matt7192  Apartheid has a huge effect on South Africa as this video just showed. Dont you understand thats why many black are still poor. Black South African have been getting out of poverty since Apartheid happened and been getting better access to education and amenities.

  13.  @matt7192  Why are you even comparing in the first place? The black labor in South Africa greatly increased the wealth of the white population. As even in the video it says that SA was becoming a backwater until the discovery of those minerals.

  14.  @PajeetPuzzlePieces  The TPLF started the conflict.

  15.  @matt7192  Highly doubt it. Those examples you listed are literally nothing like South Africa. The whites were the minority who relied on the trade and profits brought about by the black populations labor. If it was uninhabited it wouldn’t be just as wealthy without the large population of cheap labor. The Whites in south Africa were literally able to concentrate the wealth from millions of peoples labor into them leaving the rest out.

  16.  @ccityplanner1217  free labor not cheap. The North used recent poor immigrants in their factories so yes they used cheap labor. The south as a whole wanted to keep the superiority over blacks, and the elite wanted the plantation system as a way to guarantee wealth for themselves and their superiority over other whites.

  17.  @ccityplanner1217  Thats because of the Industrial revolution and the many setbacks from Europeans powers and within. Before that India and China controlled much of the world’s economy.

  18.  @ccityplanner1217  So please explain why China is suddenly surpassing the US if labor (people are a resource in themselves) has nothing to do with it?

  25. red x17 Racism as we know it today was built on the pseudoscience Europeans used to justify their Expansion across the world before that discrimination It was based on geography, beliefs, ideas. Before Slavery Europeans when visiting African kingdoms in 15th and 14th centuries didnt talk about how inferior they were but how different they were.

  26.  @baerd4102  Judging by the statistics you posted it seems like they have been doing something.

  27.  @TugaThings  What defines a country?

  28.  @TugaThings  hundreds. But the most important in my opinion is Mali, Ashanti, Axum, and Nubia.

  29.  @ccityplanner1217  the industrial revolution was able to supplement people with machines. Thats why the UK was able to become the largest economy in the world. You think they had more labor than India or China? That is why since China industrialized they are becoming the biggest economy with India following.

  30.  @adel19997  Maybe sometimes there library is miles away or they have to go through dangerous areas to get there. Maybe that parent is single and taking care of multiple kid’s while working. This goes for every race.

  42.  @TugaThings  Umm that definitely existed those kingdoms and empires definitely had their own set borders which was why wars of expansion occurred so often. The Mali empire was legit a federation. I have no idea what makes you think that these countries didn’t have set borders. I think you are confusing the nomadic and set pastoralist people of Africa with the sedentary urban people like the other guy. The people I am talking about definitely had the idea of land ownership and borders. A good example is the Anglo Ashanti wars. The Asante people of modern day Ghana had established economic ties with the Dutch gold coast but the British annexed the land. This threatened their sovereignty so they attacked which would lead to 3 wars and a rebellion. Can you provide an example of one of these kingdoms. No country has any fixed people. Is the US not a country then since its demographics have been constantly changing over time? Also an empire has no set people thats its literal definition. Cam countries not be diverse? Their are countries all over the world and especially in Africa that allow these people groups to be nomadic like the Massai is Kenya not a country?
