We all evolved from them, the proof is in how much more advanced they are.

Nobody evolved from anybody. There is one tribe in Africa that lives on a plateau that has the most genetic diversity of all humans, but that doesn't prove anything.

That was their story.

You can burn me at the stake, I am a 6000 year Cteationist.

We actually came from a pre Africa migration. It's just that the survival bottleneck lifted in Africa and we spread from there.

Name just a few, please.

Remind me, which African nations theUS colonized.

Colonization brought infrastructure in many instances.

The Boers were farmers that brought modern agriculture to South Africa, making it the most prosperous nation on the continent.

This brought in a lot of immigration by people who were basically indigent.

Now the Dutch have been dethroned and the nation is doing much better under the new leadership! (Sarcasm)

Yes, colonization brought infrastructure but you can’t possibly think it was amazing for the people of those nations. And I’ll name a few. Traffic light, Electric microphone, gas mask, hair brush, automatic elevator doors, the home security system, ironing board, and the automatic gear shift and that’s just a few.

"They invented a shit ton of things I can’t even begin to explain how much they invented."

Sure you can. Just start with a few.

"And yes, the reason countries in Africa are like that is due to the exploitation from first world countries such as the US and European countries and more specifically large cooperations"

Yet you call the US and European countries, "first world countries."

The Colonial Era is over. Comes a time people have to take responsibility and control their own lives. If, after 8 MILLION years they're not able to and so easily fall under the sway of a place barely 250yo in another hemisphere, you have to wonder what they've been waiting for,

I did, look at my other comment. The Colonial era wasn’t cause other nations took responsibility to help them, it was to exploit those nations. Now that it’s over they left massive power struggles which then turned those nations into war torn nations and even when those wars ended they still had issues such as poverty and disease which they just didn’t and still don’t have the resources to deal with.

No, you didn't.
Africa is in Africa, not America. The telephone wasn't invented in Britain just because the guy's name was Bell. Ford is not a British company. Waffle cones are not called Iranian or Lebanese.

The Colonial Era is over still. If people want to kill each other and exploit their own fellow citizens, that's on them. If they allow themselves to starve so a dictator can stay fat and keep billions of US $$ aid in his own personal account, that's their decision.

I never said that they were in Africa when they invented it did I though? I said black people. And the colonial era bullshit I already explained but you clearly don’t understand what happens when there is a power struggle in a nation.

So the black people you speak of somehow wound up in a first world nation were educated, or educated themselves using resources available in first world nations, invented/ created things to advance those nations.

I applaud them! I applaud men like MLK Jr., Ben Carson, GWC, Booker T. Washington, and any other person of color that works hard.

I also applaud anyone of any color or race that works hard.

More like the USA is the last world. 2.5 Centuries is really not that long.
Most of those inventors were craftsmen, smiths, not MIT PhD holders. Some, in fact, were former slaves.

What is going on here? Modda's account has been hacked! He is speaking sense.

I always make sense. Usually.

No, you didn't.
The OP did, or, rather, cited a book claiming everything originated in Africa - Sub Saharan, of course - even the Pyramids and....... Olmec statues! From Central America! Those heads are African because them White dudes who played Indians fighting John Wayne had thin Anglo lips!

The meme is not about the gas mask, blood transfusion, or refrigerated trucks in 20th Century America - but the ROOTS of everything from architecture to zoology.

The Colonial Era is over. Mostly. The USA itself is a product of it. You don't see us all a scramble like they are in Mexico, Brazil, and Venezuela and the rest of South of the Border. Nor are we pointing our fingers at England blaming them for our problems. Heck, we turned the UK into OUR dependent child.

What's all these other countries excuses? Is the yoke of their former colonists like Portugal and Spain - themselves in a downward spiral till the EU came along - really THAT heavy?
