@madmires: Apparently, Africans had no sophisticated societies, spoke languages with barely 2,000 words and were living in primitive conditions until Europeans arrived. But how accurate is that historical narrative? Africa is home to thousands of languages, most of which do not use click consonants. And even among languages that do incorporate clicks, these are complex linguistic systems with extensive vocabularies, not some primitive form of communication. African languages had rich vocabularies and sophisticated grammatical structures long before European colonial expansion. From the ancient Kingdom of Dʿmt and the monumental architectural discoveries at Yeha to African urban centres. Other regions and cultures had water-management systems, sanitation and sophisticated political institutions, precolonial African history is considerably more complex than these stereotypes suggest. And when discussing reparations, we also need to examine what happened after the abolition of slavery in America. The failure to provide formerly enslaved African Americans with meaningful economic opportunities, the reversal of land redistribution, sharecropping, Jim Crow segregation and subsequent discriminatory policies all contributed to inequalities with intergenerational consequences. You cannot have an honest conversation about who benefited from history without examining who was exploited, who was excluded and who lost out. Historical accounting needs to work in both directions. #Africanhistory #reparations #BlackHistory #blacktoktok #truthmatters

The relationship between race, governance, and systemic oppression in both European global expansion and American history is a subject of significant historical research, debate, and analysis. Scholars across sociology, history, and political science have documented the profound impacts of colonization, systemic disenfranchisement, and racial violence, while also exploring the diverse economic, political, and ideological factors that drove these historical events. Global Colonization and Governance Historical analyses of European expansion from the 15th through the 20th centuries emphasize several key dynamics: Imperial Expansion: European powers established global empires through military conquest, economic dominance, and colonization, which frequently resulted in the displacement, exploitation, and devastation of indigenous populations. Ideological Justifications: Colonization was often rationalized by ideologies of racial hierarchy, ethnocentrism, and religious missions, such as the spread of Christianity or the concept of a "civilizing mission." Systemic Violence: Instances of mass violence, forced labor, and cultural erasure occurred across various colonial regimes, with deep lasting effects on global wealth distribution and political structures. Scholarly Perspectives: While some historians focus primarily on the destructive mechanisms of racial capitalism and imperialism, others also examine internal European conflicts, geopolitical rivalries, and the co-optation of local elites within colonial systems.

Africa (Ancient Egypt) is where writing and reading started. They developed hieroglyphic writing around 3250–3200 BCE.😀. Civilization started in ancient Africa
