"Civilization itself started in Africa and it worked its way to this part of the world, but most African-Americans as well as white Americans don't know that," he said. "No matter how much we try to disprove that reality, it always comes back to the fact that civilization did start in Africa and then spread out throughout the rest of the planet.""

What an absolute lie! Civilization didn't start in Africa. Man evolved in Africa. Thats a huge difference!
I still contend that simply because the geography of the place of origin was africa, one cannot therefore assume that early man was black. Skin color may have evolved AFTER the dispersion of the species from Africa. It makes little sense that a hair covered creature would also have black skin...in fact very few do[see chimpanzes for example].
I cannot stand that this sort of supposition is passing for knowlege. The so-called African empires exist only in the minds of the "elite scholars". Collections of mud huts and leftover oral traditions do not pass for empires. There is no writing or some form of communication such as knotted ropes that I am aware of, surely an indicator of civilization in that every "empire" that I am aware of had writing or communication...even the nomadic empire of the Mongols had writing. Understand I am talking about their contentions and pretensions of "Empire", not culture.
Its a sorry state of affairs when these people with no evidence, no facts are given positions like secular priests establishing a religion based on some crypto-mysto faith to lie to a generation. AND they want the taxpayer to fund this boolsheet.
This is a total and complete OUTRAGE!
If you believe that man evolved in Africa, that means that you have believed another PC lie. This past summer I read an anthropology text titled The origins of Race, by Carleton S Coon. It was written in the 1950's. The author's conclusion was that the negro race evolved to modern man LAST. Even the pigmy race was more advanced. Modern man evolved elsewhere, in asia, in europe, NOT africa. Its a load of bs.
BTW, when you consider whether race is real or not, consider this. Any competant forensic investigator can tell the race of a skelton, caucasian or negro or asian. But there is not an anatomist in the world that can tell the difference between a goat and a sheep skelton. Yet, humans are able to interbreed, but goats and sheep cannot.
For 50 years, well meaning liberal professor types have been telling lies to build up the esteem of our black citizens. So why is it lower now than when they started? Because lies don't work. What works is doing it for yourself.
Also, if slavery was such a holocaust, why does really smart people like Walter Williams say that it was the BEST thing that ever happend to blacks in this country. Otherwise they'd still be in Africa....
