people assume it had not life before European invasion what was the library of Alexandria called before Alexandra came. what the hell is the middle east. wheres the middle west south and north.did you know "Africa" can fit every content in it and still have room to spare.why is the world in aw and still robbing this nation to the extinct of no other country. is it because of its endless riches ,or could it be that with all our technology we have today we still cant build with the mathematical percission my people did back then and were trying to find what they had that we dont, or yet could it be they had the longest running dynasty in history.you pic one. no one is knocking down the doors Europe stealing and pillaging.could the reason Africa is so poor even though it supplies the wealth of the world is because it is not in owner ship of itself. how much more lies have you been told why don't you know your being lied too,and if you don't what else are they hiding. can you all be that duped it is all Africa (al-kan-bul ) every other country retains the languages and their tribal name Russia sounds Russian. japan sound Japanese where did we get the word Africa don't sound like our dialect (Egypt was called kemit) Egyptian were called kemeations .so if you wanna study this region first get the names right before you read into a lie . it was important to change or name history and languages, why. why was teaching a slave to read punishable by death. what importance did this have if you had the people. was this to disconnect them from the only truth that was untainted. famous saying by slave masters if you wanna hide something from a ****** put it in a book they don't read.but first i would like to thank the Europeans for at least lying about the truth instead of totally destroying it at least we can find our way back.but what most gives me hope for thousnads of years Europeans have killed enslaved raped imprisoned riddled with disease and castrated my people and many more and guess what were still here.that's god plans and what god has brought together let no man bring asunder

Africa is a continent, not a country and as far back as Roman times it was known as Africa. Sorry but this is really racist. Most of the slavery period you are referring to was from sub-Saharan Africa in historic times. Slavery and it's cruelties far predated that and was not confined to Africans alone. I am not excusing the enslavement of Africans. Just stating facts. For the record Europeans were enslaved by Africans on a lesser scale. The Barbary pirates regularly staged slave raids as far north as the British Isles on coastal villages...And Arab slave traders as well as African tribes were a large part of the slave trade. Some African kings even sold their own people to slave traders. Slavery and the slave trade is too complex a subject for simple answers.....

Ethiopia, before Odanus Africanus and his goon squad took over after winning the naming of the continent in a bet. Now Ethiopia is just a small section because it at that point was then divided with borders put throughout and conquered. For example: Dominicans and Haitians are black, but it s the language of the enemy and flag that separates them from recognizing that they are brothers. Divide and conquer. It s tough to answer this question with a simple word because people feel they need to know the why of things when they get an answer that is not what they expected. No one knows more about this than an Ethiopic Jew (The True Jews) Not the white converted ones who stole their heritage, Look that up. I did. The Rastafari know the truth. Trust me they can tell you everything. Look it up.

My answer will be based on the question: what was Africa called before it was conquered. It was called the Dark continent, because it was the last continent to be discovered according to world history. Largely, it was colonized by British but after the two world wars and in the popularity of democracy and republic, British empire reduced into merely just a Kingdom, thus, some of its colonies in Africa declared its independence and are known today as members of the British commonwealth of nations.

man you are fu-king retarded

* alexander came, not alexandra

* that name was appropriated by the europoeans to title the land between europe (west) and the orient (east)

* no continent can fit all other's within it

* AWE, and africa's a continent

* PRECISION

* COULD IT YET BE

* there's no great african dynasty

* the european gov't is

* it's called capitolism

* being lied to by people like you

* again africa is not a country

* because people don't speak african, cause it's not a nation.. it's a continent.. again

* it's important to name things so that everybody knows what the fu-king hell you're talking about

* racism similar to your own

* cause in some places there were twice as many slaves as whites (US)

* futher your racism

* who exactly are 'your' people, i'd hate to be leaded by a person like you





your "arguement" has been, i feel, thouroughly destroyed

have a nice life :)

You obviously have a good mind with a lot of fairly deep questions.

The problem here is that you have that deep mind with a lot of shallow information. you might want to study history a little more and form opinions after you study. Slavery was not particular to africans or africa in general. For that matter you seem to clump all of africa into one catagory. its a big continent with a lot of tribes and few nations.

check on tribal thinking and see if it differs from nationalism. You might have an epiphony right there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXbfCemV-Qk problem solved. All of history has been distorted by Euros. How did euros gain this power? Knowledge given to them by Moses. Moses wanted to rule so he went to the mountains of the hybrids (Made by Egyptians 6,000yrs ago). Azazel was said to have been chained up in the mountains by God. Sure it's all allegorical but has it's truths. No Africans didn't slave whites. Whites were servants but were a very unruly lot steeped in barbarianism. So they were banished to the mountains. After a time Moses stole from one of the Pharaohs and escaped to those mountains. The descendants of Azazel (i.e. vile peoples). With Moses help they soon conquered many, why? Because whites are born with a blood lust in them. Why do think whites have done what they did to everyone.Whites have massacred everyone because it's in their blood. Big hairy white men from the mountains.If you don't believe me then just google Mary Magdalene is hairy. Abominable Snowmen/women.

'Africa' was the name the Romans gave the part of the continent where Tunisia is. When it was discovered this was part of a larger continent, in the 15th century - Ceasar, for example, had a plan go around it by sailing around what's now Algeria - Map-makers applied the name to the whole continent.



This practice is not unusual. The Greeks called (what is now) Turkey by the name of 'Asia', and that name got applied to the whole continent.

I do not principally trust a few of your features. What you ought to consider is that Africa is widely stricken via malaria. Malaria kills thousands and enormously decreases the period of time to be had for growth. The such a lot vital commodity any nation may have for its growth is "time". If the usual man or woman has 10mins "spare" time an afternoon then there may be gonna be plenty much less growth than if that they had a spare hour everyday. Africans have a poverty of spare time on account that they're widely taking good care of folks who're sick or are sick themselves. There is such a lot malaria in Africa on account that they're dwelling in towns that had been founded via the colonial powers. These towns had been widely hooked up to aid export Africa's wealth. These towns had been sited nears rivers wherein malaria can also be determined. Locating towns close rivers could had been a high-quality proposal in europe wherein there may be little or no malaria. However, in such a lot of Africa it's absolutely irrelevant. The mannequin, previous to colonialisation, was once to reside in smaller groups extra clear of rivers. These groups had been a long way much less prone to the ravages of malaria. There is much less malaria within the north of Africa on account that there may be the Sahara. There is much less malaria within the south of Africa on account that the local weather is extra very similar to europe. It is not any twist of fate that such a lot of white settlers stayed within the south of Africa. White settlers being much more prone to malaria. Moreover, the borders hooked up via the colonial powers took no account of the quite a lot of ethnic identities and cultures. Hence there was once and is plenty of clash created via this. Please keep in mind the corruption of European and American corporations, beaurocrats and politicians who take a slice of cash out of Africa each 12 months. Let's now not overlook what the "bloodless" battle did to Africa both! Africa could be plenty extra built at present if that they had been allowed to reside the best way that they recognize, or used to understand, excellent.

Alkebulan - Definition



Did you know that the ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan? "Among the many names Alkebu-lan ["mother of mankind" or "garden of eden"] was called are the following: "Ethiopia, Corphye, Ortegia, Libya and Africa - the latest of all.



Alkebulan is the oldest and the only one of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians. Africa, the current misnomer adopted by almost everyone today , was given to this continent by the ancient Greeks and Romans. "





Wouldn't this verify that We the descendants of Africa, aren't by definition africans? But rather ALKEBU-LAN OR BLACK BY DESIGN?



PONDER THIS ACTUAL FACTUAL HISTORY!
