In 1905, South Africa's British overlords set out to force the powerful Zulu nation to work on white farms. For Chief Bhambatha, the introduction of a poll tax to compel Zulus to do this was the last straw. They had already been deprived of land, faced war and famine and now their patriarchy was at stake. The battle which followed brought to the surface the remarkable strength of the Zulu nation, a nation again on the ascendancy in South Africa. A powerfully told exploration of a very relevant history, with overtones of the strength that defined the great Shaka Zulu.

For your information it took centuries of war to built the modern western world. As time goes societies tend to evolve at their own very pace. When you export humans ( young men and women) like livestock, animals, piled up on a boat, and use them in your plantations to make you better off (the core part of the population, that contribute to the advancement of a culture), or again mutilate, kill, or bring them the "word of God" (just what they needed) What do u think the long term effects are?

You clearly are under a misconception people of the Mali Empire was technologically supported by Arabs who brought Islam to North and eastern Africa. Yoruba people was not En Empire, all written from was derived from Arabic. So Africans did not build one sounds building before other forces intervened. Consider choosing your wording better, thus you are illustrating my point!!

@oumameelbol So in the future you need to sit down and cogitate deeply before you put for some bullshit about how blacks don't work hard. People want to talk about "unemployment rates" when blacks can't even get jobs from racist employers or from racist policies that prohibit the victims of a most UNJUST justice system from ever really improving themselves. Idiots like you make me want to puke.

@oumameelbol ...enslaved them by paying them next to nothing for backbreaking work. And you have the audacity to tell us about how the white man got this, about how the white man got that, they white man built EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS TODAY OFF OF EXPLOITATION OF NONWHITE PEOPLE. I don't care if it's slave labor, exploited land resources of vanquished nations, innovations and technologies, agricultural innovations, everything responsible for white man's "civlization" was commandeered and stolen.

@oumameelbol ...you think you're going to sit here and preach to my people about the necessity of "hard work" and how we ostensibly lack this work ethnic that, oh yeah, everyone else has, but black people. A society that wouldn't allow African's to be educated, a society that wouldn't allow African's to prosper, a society that placed blacks in jail for dissenting against the tyrannical policies of the apartheid government, a government that waged war upon African people and then practically...

@oumameelbol You people disgust me with your patronizing remarks. It just baffles me how white people can stand on their pedestal and proudly impart upon those that they have oppressed the lessons of "hard work" and how they need to "work harder" so that they can achieve what they worked so damn hard to build up FOR their professing oppressors. Coming from a South African born father who had a mother who had to work job-upon-job from sun up to sun down for racists whites who would pay NOTHING...

[oumameelbol]

The problem todayis that most black people in Africa think that the white man only got the things they have today,they think Cape Town was there just like that and that the white man got it for free.They do not understand that one has to work hard and it takes many years of hardwork..that is seen in ZIM and many other places...they take and dont realize you have to work hard to keep it going.....and in the end who gets blamed in SA-the Boer

[theherk]

Only the Europeans can progress? I say, yes. Would you prefer your house over colonization?

[bingramtube]

Please cut the crap your 5th grade teachers taught you and answer this simple question. Do you think the majority of these people want to live in huts or a government supplied house in town ?? .....and dont go blaming europeans for the troubles of africa today. Had europeans not colonized the natives would still live in huts in the dust while while Arabs traded slaves within and out of Africa. Political correctness lies will not help humans they only slow down the real healing.
