The problem is they would rather sit in the U.S disproportionally committing crime, complaining about slavery and ranting about how bad they have it while not realizing moving to any country in which they comprise a majority is an absolute pos.
Honestly, what are you inventions from Africa? If any they seem so few and far between compared to the Europeans.
I went for ancient African inventions and found this at Ancient cultures and inventions? - Yahoo! Answers:
Ancient Africa- inventions___________
papyrus- earliest form of writing paper, today many of the anceint documents from Africa studied by anthropologists are made papyrus.
Chess, originated in Africa and later spread to Persia and India.
irrigation
mummification ( preserving the deceased)
Mining - originated in Africa, to get gold, tin, copper and other metals. Mining is still used today.
Petroleum- was used in Africa to preserve the dead (as seen in Egyptian tombs) and other cultural burial sites. Petroleum is still used today as a preservative and for other industrial uses.
Using cotton as a fabric
Spinning wheel
Musical instruments (fiddle, slit gong, thumb piano, harp, bows)
Writing- heiroglyphics, this is seen through out Africa, from Egypt to Ethiopia and is seen everywhere.
Soap- the earliest forms of soap were made in Africa. Black soap is ancient but still used as a beauty product by many people in Africa, for it's cleansing and moisturizing properties.
Ceramics
Hair braiding
Domestication of animals.
System of higher education, like universities, this began in Timbuktu.
Mathematics: algebra, geometry, arithmetic, was developed in Egypt and through out many parts of Africa.
Maybe she has read Erich van Däniken books
Still, electricity probably was indeed used in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago, maybe in Egypt, too. Afrocentrists tend to hijack Egypt, though.
Taxes have already paid for the water infrastructure in cities. There's no reason it should cost any money to use the water anymore than a person is charged by the mile to walk down a road.
And, it only takes a little creativity to create one's own water system.
You missed the point. The comparison between water and electricity is apples and oranges.
You missed the point also. The water infrastructure is complete, however requires maintenance, power to keep the pressure up, chemicals to ensure the water remains drinkable, and something that people gloss over, processing of the "USED" water.
Use your creativity, and take yourself off the grid. "Double Entendre intended"

I agree. This does sound like something Erich von Däniken would say. It is interesting what he advocated in his book though. We have a TV show called Ancient Aliens on History that is worth watching.

Seems like most of that list the stuff originated in northern Africa and the Middle East not sub-Saharan Africa
The woman in this video has uploaded 57 videos to YouTube. In her profile she describes her occupation as "Writer" and lists her published books and says she lives "in the racist deep south".
The theory that the ancient Egyptians possessed electricity came about after the discovery of a temple in the region of Dendera. It was at this location that archeologists were able to find a number of carvings that depict lamps and light bulb like structures.
A number of electrical engineers observed these carvings and suggested that it seemed quite likely that these ancient items worked much in the same manner as the modern day lamp. One engineer actually constructed a life-like model based on the design that was depicted on the carvings. To the amazement of the masses the model actually worked which further fortified the notion that the Egyptians had some sort of electricity which they utilized to create sources of light to help them in the dark.
Are you talking about Ancient Egyptians being black. I wonder why they had all those black slaves there back then. Too many things that are almost completely Egyptian are being claimed for blacks here.
