"You would not easily expect to obtain off-hand such good authors, poets, philosophers, and correspondents... there is no so-called savage nation known under the sun which has so much distinguished itself by such examples of perfectibility and original capacity for scientific culture, and thereby attached itself so closely to the most civilized nations of the earth, as the Negro"
-The Anthropological Treatises of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach 1865

[peasah2005]

There are so many of our great African invention genuises, because they've shown the world, Africans have the skill and the heart to build and design so many things and it isn't new at all.

We've been denied the truth for far too long and now it has come out.

We shouldn't fear the truth at all.
