Well, maybe not culture and history. Sorry, I hope you don't interpret that as racism, but the simple fact is that Europe and Asia produced far more in terms of high art, philosophy, technology and science, than Africa (or the pre-European Americas) ever did. We can safely say that without taking away from the achievements of Africans. I do agree with your general idea, though, that Africa ought to be doing much better than it is. But don't blame Europeans for all its woes.

Sorry, you are so far behind, it is 2009 the infromations which are controled is out of control as result the world know that Africa is the birth of man kind n civilization, built monuments way before Europeans built their first hut with window, Europe was civilized by Ancient African so many proofs, you can't denied.

Black Athena by Bernal Marthin there r more evidence than ever. Europeans...ethnic cleanes 2the world 2claim, resources, culture, history...never owned n invented.

Yes, it's 2009, which is why there are revisionists like you among us. While there is no doubt that humans first emerged in Africa, and that some of the oldest civilizations were in Africa, there is no doubt - archaeological or historical - that the greatest cultural and scientific achievements in human history happened OUTSIDE Africa. The very act of WRITING (required for someone like Bernal Marthin) is not African in origin.

I looked at your videos (thanks for offering), but a couple of folk songs are hardly going to stack up against a millennium of serious scholarship. On the one hand, we have an achievement of architecture like the Parthenon in Athens, and on the other we have a guy rapping about what he thinks his ancestors did. Or we have Plato's writings that have become the basis of western philosophy, versus .... another group singing. It doesn't stack up. No disrespect to you or to African culture.

Thank you! There would't be achievment of architecture, if Ancient Africa wouldn't civilize Athens. Sooner or later the world would get together and condem those people who destroy, kill the world legacy to claim something never invented and own.

You may be right that Europeans have done bad things in history, but you seem to blame them for all the ills of the world. What of Africans who sold fellow Africans into slavery? (And continue to do so today). Your view is simplistic. And the idea that "Africa civilized Athens" would be RIDICULED in any university. I don't want to go back and forth like this anymore. You have your opinion, and you're welcome to it. Hope you expand your horizons one day (instead of telling others to do the same).

The stock Market was going down and was already down, way before Obama became president. Unemployment was already high before Obama became president, We were out of debt when clinton was president, we recieved our largest debt in all of history during the Bush administration (one president later). Get your fact straight and then comment...

Exactly. We will not know for some time whether or not Obama has effective policies. Things don't just magically get better overnight; they have a momentum of their own, and it takes time to reverse it.

That said, here's my opinion on Obama: leaps and bounds better than Bush in every aspect of his administration, but may have sold his country to foreign investors in the long term. Where exactly does that amount of bailout money come from? (Oh yeah, China).
