  1. Not much to re-write if the loser never invented the written word.

  2.  @spawel1  Eating dirt? But that’s typical Haitian cuisine! Their mud cookies are world-renowned… Also, considering most Africans can speak at least one European language (like myself) I choose to take offense on their behalf.

  3.  @spawel1  And yet there’s a remarkable lack of French cookbooks with Voodoo and mud cookies in them. Curious

  4.  @spawel1  Don’t have to tell myself that, when I know how to write it down (unlike 99.99% of Africans)

  5.  @spawel1  And yet they were among the first to standardize their language. Buddy I think you need to get off the copium

  6.  @spawel1  And yet they actually were the exception

  7. Anyone who’s lived in a first world country in the last 500 years

  8.  @spawel1  And yet those are the exception and not the norm

  9.  @spawel1  Idk man if you can’t guess what language the french speak then I think you may be not very smart. Like most Africans, in fact

  11. To be fair, having larger frontal lobes hasn’t made asians any better at not being subhumans

  12.  @kostadamjanovic4004  Wasn’t really expecting or going in for a serious argument tbh, If I was, I would have pointed out that in the vast majority of cases where you find literate Africans, their writing system is imported via trade from some other region. Of course there are exceptions (like the Ethiopians) and some European groups also “imported” their writing systems without ever developing their own. It’s a little difficult to say when exactly a writing system is imported or not, because sometimes all it takes for a group of people to invent writing is for one guy from that group to see another group who has already invented writing using their writing system, who then proceeds to invent a completely different script, whereas other times a group of people adapts a foreign script and it gradually develops into a unique script (which is the case for most European scripts). Another thing that muddies the waters is access to foreign trade. It’s very difficult to say exactly if a script is entirely native or if it was in any way inspired by foreign scripts, mostly because some people will travel ungodly distances if there’s money to be made, like the pre-Columbian Venetian glass beads that were discovered in Alaska not too long ago, or the supposedly 20,000-year-old knife discovered in Maryland which turned out to be made out of french flint. In any case, starting actual arguments with people online tends to not actually be productive, especially on topics like this (or anything else relating to racial disparities, for that matter).

  13. @ Let me spell it out for you. People who use machines on a daily basis which require use of wheels, pulleys, gears, belts, engines, generators, mills, and circular shapes in general recognize that the wheel was an essential innovation without which modern society could not function.
