Yup. Europeans brought railroads, libraries, electricity, agriculture, infrastructure,, etc Watch Empire of Dust on youtube.. Africans didn'

Posted by: Baron_Darcon2017 on Mar 27, 03:53 in response to numbersix_99's post "Education has regressed as well in African as it's...

Pass on the knowledge they were taught by the Europeans. Often those Africans with the knowledge jealously guarded it since it gave them stature and security. Thus they were hesitant to teach others. Since they didn't want the competition.TThus when they died, that kknowledge was lost and the society regressed.

The Chinese recognize this and it is shown in Empire of Dust. The railways, roads, water supply, electrical grid has decayed in many former colonies. As is happening  in South Africa right now. Their education system has fallen to 143 out of 144 countries. Their power grid has decrease over 25% since the end of Apartheid. Nepotism is replacing meritocracy. Only areas with mineral wealth or resources are now hiring Chinese or European countries to build what should be done domesticly.

Zimbabwe used to be the bread basket of Africa, Mugambe civil  war spoils  gave the land to his followers taking it from white settlers causing an agriculture catastrophe. Zimbabwe then had to import and beg for food of face starvation and famine. Now Zimbabwe is begging white farmers to return.

I've  never said it was a peaceful idealyic colonization but after the end of slavery colonization was much improved. Also every country had slavery, only Europeans abolished it.

African has vast resources and should be wealth like the Chinese but why aren't they? The chinese are expanding into Africa for its resouces and will develop them for themselves they have no guilt and feel no obligation toward the people there.

South African universitys are now starting to legitimize "alternative" science, basically investigating witch doctors and shamans  curses and claims. There is so much you probably don't read about...

Sex Panther has now surpassed Avengers as the top-grossing comic book movie of all time slipping jimmy Mar 25, 11:21

Never bet against sex {nm} JMT-NL Mar 25, 12:48

If "Avengers: Infinity War" doesn't outgross "Black Panther," I'd hope the MCU doesn't shift focus (a la DC with "Wonder Woman"). chosenone2oo5 Mar 25, 13:27

tl;dr. Make no mistake, Black Panther will be the leader (replacing Stark/Iron Man) in Phase 3 or where ever Marvel is at after Avengers 4. {nm} -JPV- Mar 25, 13:30

My point exactly. That worked out so well for Wonder Woman. (NOT) {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 25, 13:34

No idea what you mean. Problem with JLEAG wasn't Wonder Woman. {nm} -JPV- Mar 25, 13:37

IMO, the studio knew they had a mess, tried to fix it bringing in Whedon, which didn't work, and came the point where they cut their losse -JPV- Mar 25, 13:38

They probably would've canceled it but they (the execs) pushed on with a Warner/AT&T merger on the horizon. {nm} -JPV- Mar 25, 13:40

Spending 300M on JL and having that mess is embarrassing. WB left 1B on the table by not understand DC {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 25, 17:38

It wasn't a lack of understanding DC, it was rushed so the execs could get their bonuses before a merger went through -JPV- Mar 25, 18:07

And that's not to mention mandating a 2 hr running time by the WB head, likely to get as many showtimes as they could. {nm} -JPV- Mar 25, 18:08

Last one, but didn't help that THOR3 got great reviews so that certainly took oxygen out of the box office. Even THOR3 made like $21.7M -JPV- Mar 25, 18:10

Dr Strange made more money than Justice League (unknown Marvel hero beats DC's top four heroes) {nm} RazorHawk Mar 25, 18:43

And from a technical standpoint, Dr. Strange was better. It also, along with THOR3 doing a lot better, bad press (mostly deserved). -JPV- Mar 25, 18:46

Warner Bros has a history of failure with DC movies... because they do not understand the characters and do not have a plan... RazorHawk Mar 25, 19:26

Whereas Dr. Strange did get the benefit of having the Marvel label. Anyway, I'm done. I just don't care enough about JLEAG at this point. -JPV- Mar 25, 18:49

Did The Avengers cartoon give it away?... RazorHawk Mar 25, 14:05

Seems logical. {nm} -JPV- Mar 25, 15:00

Good. I love seeing the tears of white men as they realize not everything is for them. {nm} Bronzey Mar 25, 15:11

I'm white and don't mind him being the leader *shrug* {nm} -JPV- Mar 25, 15:20

same {nm} ReaperXXX Mar 25, 15:30

And I thought movies were for entertainment. So they're actually a competition between the races? {nm} PhoneHome Mar 25, 17:20

Nice 2 white jewush men could give blacks a fictional history to be proud of, especially since the real ones are testament to corruption {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 25, 17:45

i can't tell whether this one s anti-semitic or just the usual racist crap you post {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 25, 18:19

its just horribly racist {nm} Moviesnob Mar 25, 18:25

As my mom would have said, "that's just plain stupidity" {nm} Bronzey Mar 25, 18:39

What's incorrect? Stan Lee and Jack Kirby 2 white jewish men created BP. The movie BP and Wakanda are much different than Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 25, 20:55

What's incorrect? You equate the pride in an African-American talent driven film doing extremely well to the point of extreme excellence Catzan Mar 26, 00:48

Next, let's compare Hogwarts to the NATO alliance. {nm} CSBD Mar 26, 03:47

Without Lee and Kirby creating BP the movie NEVER would have happened. Mathematics and science started in northern Africa not sub-saharan... Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 26, 05:08

There’s a lot in this post that is factually incorrect RogerMore Mar 26, 06:29

sounds like you should be the one teaching his students instead {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 26, 13:42

Ha .....The agriculture started in Ethopia was from Jewish (Semetic) settlers in 10 BCE Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 27, 03:15

Again, this is incorrect. RogerMore Mar 27, 15:36

Interesting... never heard of Nok, iron research wasn't unitl 2005, using historical linguistics less accurate but interesting...Lots of Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 27, 22:20

"Education has regressed as well in African as it's no longer under colonial rule" - Just LOL {nm} numbersix_99 Mar 26, 16:38

Yup. Europeans brought railroads, libraries, electricity, agriculture, infrastructure,, etc Watch Empire of Dust on youtube.. Africans didn' Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 27, 03:53

If you're expecting accurate history from Super Hero movies - you need to quit watching them. {nm} JDolphin Mar 26, 18:49

If you're expecting the Super Hero movies to follow exactly (or even close sometines) the movies - then you need to quit watching them {nm} JDolphin Mar 26, 18:50

oops - follow the comic books {nm} JDolphin Mar 26, 18:51

BP will fall short of adjusted Avengers 705M, probably around 690M. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 25, 16:24
