Desert Empires - History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 10]

[@mysteriousdude280]

I can't stop watching these documentaries. Thank you Zainab and BBC.

[@mysteriousdude280]

@Joepie De poepie nowhere does it say that

[@mysteriousdude280]

@Joepie De poepie I highly doubt that. Watch the videos and then come back

[@mysteriousdude280]

@Joepie De poepie heheheh well ignorance gives way to two paths, foolishness or wisdom. You can decide your own path, that's all I can tell you

[@deliad9960]

@Joepie De poepie Well, to be honest it doesn't say that, but if you feel guilty about it then, yes, most of it has been white mans fault. This series just covers the actual history of African people which is quite rich compared to what the white European education system has tried to teach. You seem so uncomfortable that you don't realize this is just a history and not a criticism. Your reaction seems to be unnecessary. Can't you just sit and watch a documentary series about African cultures and their history past and present without injecting your unnecessary guilt into the conversation? Because I do enjoy watching documentaries about European cultures (some have also been decimated by their own neighbours) and other indigenous cultures around the world. The world and other people are interesting, stop trying to find blame in everything and just enjoy the differences.

Africa is the Motherland of all human beings . This knowledge must be taught to all people across the world in all classrooms . But since mankind is so obssesed by colour , creed , religion , and all the poisons of the mind , the maority will not realize this . This is the sadness and the madness mankind is living in . We are primitive in the mind .

[@Crystale17]

Finally our history is being told.

[@WilliamGarrow]

@GEORGE STINNEY JR. It hasn't been hidden. Mainstream media and academia doesn't talk much about it. But you have plenty of documentation about it.

[@WilliamGarrow]

@Joepie De poepie Actually if you are talking these civilization it's actually plenty from actually Africans. Close to a million manuscripts have been left. Lucky the native people hid the records from the invading French. Who most likely would have burned or stolen them.

[@WilliamGarrow]

@GEORGE STINNEY JR. Unfortunately most of this won't get taught in western schools and very few courses. I recommend you check out a history channel called Home Team history. Also there is a good series on DVD called Africa's Great Civilizations. Worth buying if you can find it.

[@WilliamGarrow]

@Joepie De poepie Infighting and outside invasion I would say. Failure to adapt to new threats and putting ethnic tensions aside. Knowledge is meaningless without action to implement real change. Ethnic tensions is still prevelant in many African countries. Rwanda for example have learned from this and is now developing into a very beautiful country. Countries can rise very quickly to prominence. It wasn't that long ago China was known as the sick man of Asia. Now it has re-established itself as a great power. With the right attitude I wouldn't be surprised if a place like Ethiopia for example could not do similar.

[@WilliamGarrow]

@Joepie De poepie Thank you. I'm actually from the UK. Third generation Barbadian. But I have read a lot about Africa and the African diaspora history. But you are right it is about taking responsibility. We should learn from our ancestors achievements and mistakes.

She went ahead and talked of blue similar stones which fell from heaven or from space long time ago.
