Yeah well Saffers do quite well in South Africa when they arent being murdered for being Boehrs. Somehow they turned Africa into a breadbasket. Idk man. You say it is not the Boehrs fault they are so good at things like crop surpluses and I think you may be onto something. I've seen African "farmers" attempt to take over the Boehrs farms. Doesnt work so well. Idk. Almost like there is a huge IQ deficiency let alone an industrialized base to draw from.
I was responding to the notion that Africans were somehow "inferior but not inferior" because they didnt' build Great Civilizations.
If you want to dial down to the past 30 years in that specific part of Africa, I don't have much knowledge about it, other than to say that handing land to people that haven't worked it before isn't going to work out well. SA was practically enslaved by the Dutch for centuries.
The Mediterranean had Greece, Rome, Carthage, Egypt... All places with archeological ruins we're still finding (Gobekli Tepe in Turkey). South America is littered with great places from the , Mayans, Aztecs, Olmecs, etc. China has the Great Wall plus all kinds of tombs, the statues of the emperor's army, etc.
Outside of Egypt with its tombs/pyramids, or well Carthage - let's just say the very north of Africa, name one great work of architecture from say even 1000 years ago? (Long before European colonialization)
Then explain what the Africans were accomplishing of any note while the Mayans/Aztecs/Egyptians were building pyramids, the Greeks/Romans were building with huge pillars, arches, and amazing sculptures, or even the great walled castles and such of medieval Europe? Chiseling stone spearheads, while the rest of the world figured out copper, brass, iron...?
