I think being oppressed is not what makes a race inferior but the inability to fight oppression or navigating your way out of oppression. China is a perfect example of how to navigate life after oppression, Africa needs a cultural reset.
True, but "Africa" is still very young in terms of its true independence, and I think that we must be conscious of that fact. Most countries in Africa only got their independence within the past 100 years. It's a lengthy conversation but the point I'm trying to make is that Africans have had to fight, not "innovate". It's gonna take a while to break out of the cocoon, but it's slowly happening.
@@justanmpowereddude5021, you have made a very important point, Africa's new found independence. However, Africans, after gaining independence, fail to understand how important it is to build our own educational curriculums that can meet our own needs, as African societies...
This conversation strikes an absolute nerve and at the same time is a window to look beyond just the rooms we cage ourselves in. We often constrain ourselves mentally and always put each other as black people down. Thank you Pen for being a beacon of controversy in Sub-Saharan Africa, your conversations help us better ourselves everyday.
The problrm about Panuel is that he never refers to black people as "WE", he doesn't see himself as part of what he is criticizing. Seeing the problem doesn't automatically excludes you from the consequences of the problem so long as you don't have the solution you are part of those who gonna suffer.
I live in Europe, what you say makes lots of sense. People from Arabic and Muslim countries command respect, you never disrespect them, they will stand together in difficulty even if they have differences. Chinese built their country in the fastest time. They are independent of the global economy. Indians are business minded, they see opportunity in anything. Ethiopian are one of the poorest in the world but they would never trade their identity for anything. They are proud of their culture and identity. You will find an Ethiopian restaurant in every European country. We can cry forever about what happened to us historically. But what are we doing about it. All these people are not clouded by kindness and good hearts, they do whatever for their own. Ive always said that, to be successful, you need to be ruthless. All successful nations have an element of ruthlessness. Fidel Castro fought for Cuba and won with less than a 100 men. How come our ancestors were beaten by a less than a 100 people, when colonists set foot in Africa it was less than a 100 people but they conquered a whole continent
That's not true, they can't even stand up for their Palestinian brother, A black South African government had more balls than the rest of Middle Easterns
That's not true, none of them stood up for their Palestinian brothers and sisters, it took a black South African Government that has more balls than the rest of Middle Easterns. So your thesis doesn't hold
@n.m6249 you are 100% correct, but don't say Arabic Muslims command respect, that's not entirely true brother, they are just as compromised if not worse
During the 35 years I lived in the Netherlands, problematic and challenging situations would be analysed, by the majority of people, on all levels, so that opportunities to improve could be identified and realised. During the past 10 years in SA, I see successful groups of people who keep to themselves (e.g. Muslims, Jews, Afrikaners, Indians), and then there is the majority of people including most of the political leadership, looking the other way: "Problem? I'm not solving it, so it's not my problem. When it's not my problem, there is no problem." I see massive dams, impressive feats of engineering established during the "white" years, with trees growing out of the staircases. Without maintenance, collapse is a matter of time. Dams are only a metaphor; this goes for all of society. When collapse happens, hands are raised to the sky, saying "what can we do"? (A whole lot, actually.) Regardless of colour: taking ownership, having a constructive and problem-solving attitude, getting things done - these are winning qualities, and they are definitely more prevalent among certain groups of people, rather than others. Rather than using divisive categories, just focus on those that have those qualities and work with them. A whole lot can be done.
An ability to cooperate in large groups is what we lack as black people, a good example of that is our spaza shops collapsed because everyone went to buy individually at the wholesalers thus separate transport and less buying power.
I think the fundermental misconceptions about the characteristics that allow people to prosper, propose a detrimental prospect through which people believe that they are constrained by things that they can't control, which will influence their beliefs, world view and manifest into actions that make up a an unproductive culture. I like that there is an emphasis on the word "culture" for i primarily believe that culture being the beliefs, values and overall way of living is the differentiating factor between those who are backward and those who are prosperous. If we look at disparities through the lense of culture we unvail a prospect that says " if you can change your culture, you can change your outcomes". It is culture that determines supriority or inferiority not race. It is understandable that due to events unfolding in the 20th century we have became reluctant to name one race superior and other inferior justly so. However we can not deny that there are certain characteristics, ideas, values and beliefs which have enabled certain groups of people to be more productive than others. From the idea of A nuclear family, 2 parent household being the best family structure, from the idea of mongamy being the best for ultimate compenionship, Christianity which bring a set of values and beliefs that if practiced will lead to a fulfilling life for all, to capitalism being the best system known to mankind for creating wealth and fighting poverty, the list is endless. With that said we must always remember that the spread of ideas that had led to prosperous socities was not equal even in the western world. Remember that the Greeks had philosophy, Geometry, architecture and literature at a time when britain was a land of primitive tribal people, Athens had Acropolis who's ruins are still impressive today at a time when britain had not even a single building, Greece had Plato, Euclid, aristotle and many other landmark figures who have the laid the interllectual foundation of western civilization at a time when not even a single briton had entered the pages of history. And this inequality was not just in Europe there were other complex civilization like India, China and Egypt when many European nations were still learning the rudiments of agriculture. History tells us that they were many European nations living in conditions that the greeks had transcended a 1000 years earlier. And they are many factors why greece was more developed that britain in the ancient world from geography and being able to access agriculture first as a result of being nearer to the middle east and many other factors. However though disparities in wealth and wealth creating capacity have been have existed since many untold thousands of years the changes in a particular pattern of those disparities have occurred. Though Greece was more advanced that britain in the ancient world britain became far more advanced than greece in the morden world when they led the world into the first industrial revolution. Nearly 40% of all inventions and discoveries made from the mid 18th century to the first quarter of the 19th century came from britain. And their prominence as a technologically advanced nation was met by their prominence as a conquering nation, occupying one fouth of the world's land area at its pic. One italian historian wrote, just how did a peripheral island rise from primitive squalor to world domination? What this tells us is people at the top will not always be at the top and those at the bottom not always at the bottom given that something changes and that thing to me is culture. When people or nations lose the culture of honesty, integrity, humility, competition, innovation, entrepreneurship, sacrifice, hard work, education and skills development or overall the development of human capital, they will lose their position at the top and similarly if people at the bottom gain that culture they will rise to the top. Being at the top can't just be about wealth if that was so every family or nations that has ever had wealth would maintain till eternity. But data tells us for families 70% of wealth is lost by the second generation and 90% is lost by the 3rd generation. And rome would have never fallen, the ottoman empire would have never falled, spain would have never falled. Spain exploited just avout 400 tons of gold and silver from latin America at their peak had so much gold they referred to it as rain. But today they are amongst the poorer nations in europe. The all fell because the lost a culture. Family fall because children lose a certain culture that it took for their parents to build the wealth and same goes for nations. Final note Everyone can incorporate a culture of winning, we do it everyday, we do it when we learn that successful peope wake up in the morning and we start waking up in the morning, when we learn they exercise and we start exercising, when we learn they read and we start reading. Every time we change the way we live to get certain results we are changing a culture. The Afrikaners did it by incorporate into british culture getting into mining going to learn in their schools and coming back with those ideas but only to benefit their own people. They didn't become Afrikaners by remaining Afrikaner and boers they learned what made their superiors successful and incorporated it into their own society. Its what our peope must understand, you can't clinge to a culture that you've always had and expect different results thats insanity. We must learn to incorporate the culture that have led other groups of people to be prosperous cause if it works for them chances are in will work for us. But we dont want that because we call it white culture. There is no such thing as white culture only a culture of successful people and backwards people
You can not be more right. Even if you compare Asian culture to the European / white culture you Will find Asian culture far superior and that's why they have the fastest growing economies in the world. Culture is everything
@Zamokuhle Nice try but not quite. A culture thsts not founded on STRONG SPIRITUAL principles cannot promote the VIRTUES that you listed. Afrikaners steeped on CALVANISTIC principles, Germans are steeped in LUTHERAN principles. They are raised to understand the value of harnessing and leveraging one's talents for the collective good, for its in serving others that we serve God. They have their own version if iSiNtu, uBuNtu. Thina weve lost our SPIRITUAL foundation, hence why we lack the driving force to build strong communities. Although Christianity originated from Africa (much like Judaism and Islam), the watered down version doesn't meet our needs, which goes to explain why we engage in all manner of debauchery (including corruption, ineptitude, greed) all as we purport to be Christians. Our ancestors knew better than to play games that would unleash generational curses, they strived to live right and do right because they were SPIRITUALLY grounded. Africa will grow once we immerse ourselves in African spirituality which promotes brotherhood, service to each other and the creator in the quest to evolve to a higher spirit. I bet some of those Kingdoms and Empires you mentioned collapsed because of SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY. The 2nd and 3rd generations lost sight of the SPIRITUAL impetuous and degenerated into debauchery. SPIRITUALITY is the foundation of all that is good, it encourages the individual to embrace good virtues and work for the benefit of the collective.
@@ZamokuhleMohauduma the flaw in your analysis that I see is the definition of progress and culture. How are you progressing as a people if you are killig yourself in the process. You seem to equate comfort with progress. To progress youas an individual must be a able to wake a dead person up. Of you want ton understand a person that had progressed Google Simon Toku. Gaining the ability to kill people and destroy nature is not progress. Culture as well is dependent on the level of charge pr energy the xolecctovedoes not change, it gets collective body has. The collective energy decides the insecurities which advise culture. Culture is how you draw energy from your environment and it only presides at a particular level of collective charge beyond which it is not there. When it changes it either improves of regresses and we have been regressing al this time hence we live fewer years.
What I've come to acknowledge is that people who try "help" or "lead" our community, eventually realise it's difficult if not near impossible. And then usually come back with this kind of brash negative perspective without trying to rationalize what is actually going on. You're expecting of the most oppressed that which the most privileged are afforded.
As Neil Degrasse Tyson points out: The highest genetic diversity is in Africa. As a result, here are the tallest people and the shortest people. The fastest people and probably the slowest people (we don't have competitions for that). The strongest and the weakest. The most intelligent and the dumbest. And yet, still in 2025, people look at the shared darker skin complexion and conclude that this group is generally the same homogenous group.
@@Penuelism You are focusing on race on this very video ,isn't it hypocritical to say we we need to stop focusing on race when you keep focusing on race on all your platforms?
@@Penuelism What you did on this video was to promote the YT suprmcist talking points and kiss the S of afrikaners at the expense of yr people which is dangerous .
@math97003 I was answering a question asked by the producer. Race is important due to the past, but the future needs to be about Culture. That's what I meant about not focusing on Race. Not that we mustn't talk about it per se.
As black people we lost. The systems we live under are not our own. Then we understandably persist in practicing our cultures to maintain our dignity even though they are no longer compatible with the current economic system. Its why we dont progress continentally.
You are wrong at so many levels. Your idea of superiority is flawed. Natural Superiority is the capacity to do what others cannot. If you have the capacity to fly and others can't then you are superior. Superiority is not you creating things to control your environment, that is inferiority. The more self sufficient you are the more superior you are. If you still seek to take from others then you are under developed and not self sufficient. The more developed a person is, the less they take the more they give and the less violent they are. Look at all spiritual Gurus, all of them had no violence yet they were clearly superior Your body works based on the energy it has, the more energy it has the more it can do. The sun is the highest energy source in this world. Those cannot stand in the sun are less developed and have less energy. This is a scientific fact, if energy being encounters another energy source with energy beyond its threshold, the one with less energy gets destroyed. Those that cannot stand in the sun for long are inferior. This is how you scientifically show superiority. We didn't build malicious weapons because we are service to others culture, the most advanced culture as opposed to the service to self that came with foreigners. You are way offline and your ignorance is misleading people.
Simple,we didn't have to venture out for spices and other essential resources because we had abundance we had all we needed they came and convinced us otherwise,we didn't have superior weaponry because what we had was adequate to fight amongst ourselves,the Europeans went in search of new lands because they had plundered everything where they where and in order to survive they had to find new lands with resources, we were never jealous of them so they were never a threat initially until it was too late,we lived in harmony with nature and preserved our resources to the point that even today theres still many to be plundered by foreign powers.
BAAAAARRRRRZZZZZ!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This perspective is sooooo interesting and well thought through. It's difficult to find people that think independently and so honestly like this. Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This man is right but one thing that we overlook or don't know in the first place is that in the first 30 years of the Afrikaaner lead government they we in the same position like us they just gained power from the oppression of the British and they were dealing with corruption too a lot but one thing they did differently than us is that they went In with a plan to uplift the Afrikaans people no matter what even with corruption they ideas to see all Afrikaans people doing well we on the other hand started with that ideal but succumbed to the temptations of greed if we as a people get back to that ideal uplifting one another on the basis that you are a native black south african who speaks one of the 9 native languages the 10th native being the khoi/San languages
The liberation of Africans will first need the corporation and organization of the African people. Africans were not always like this. Go and research the empires that existed before the subjugation of the Africans, eg, the Mali empire under Mensa Musa.
@@nkosinathindala4745 Pan Africanism is an invention of the late 1800s. People split up and migrated for a reason. As for the Mali empire, Mansa Musa was a notorious slaver of thousands of Afticans but for some reason people are blinded by his wealth to that fact.
I really like how you actualize on how you see yourself and your ability to transpose your views on every race's abilities. If only more people could adapt to this mindset, it would be easier to detect calamity before it happens by adapting to mood of every race we come across. I really appreciate the lessons you've taught on this podcast ❤
One other thing worth mentioning is that Politics dominated our psychic 🔮 Few black people judge the South African history based intrinsic historical details. They judge it based on generalisation wrapped in political boxes by politicians in past and present.
As a South African dreaming of the return of Apartheid, I am not surprised by your content. You are not educated. Not scientific andbself hated. Science tells us a different story, but that's beyond your level.
Truth is not only linear. There is a song by Damian Marley "Looks are Deceiving" from his album stone hill. That resonates with the theme of this notion. The current state of the world has special gems only if we remove the ideologies and indoctrinations we've stimulated our (minds) beings with. Then the truth will reveal its beauty.
The way the question is framed is loaded and not a little tabloid. It seemed like click bait. With all the research into melanin, the biological and psychological context we're given to view it in, the exhaustive resources and scientific insights into it. Africans are among the smartest people on the planet, they simply cannot be that far behind. No, Penuel could have asked the question differently.
We're turning the other cheek. I was telling someone to stop feeling like they're blessed to be anywhere, be audacious. It's not "God's grace and mercy." It's you and your "board of directors", whatever it takes. Gonna have to break rules, they only apply to us
I hope Penuel will read this. There will always be a people or civilisation that is preferable to another. This has always been like this. In the past people came to the conclusion that a people can only be as good as the God that they serve. Now I believe that’s 100 percent true. We become what we worship. Why because you will imitate your God. That’s why the old Germanic people were so violent: they worshiped gods of war. No I know ma boy Penuel doesn’t have much space for belief in the divine but bear with me. Gods are sophisticated personifications for the values of a society. And I don’t think anyone will object to the idea of values being real. Now some gods are superior to others simply because some values lead to better outcomes than others. You might say that the Europeans were Christian and Africa is the most Christian place on earth today but I would disagree you see the Christianity the Europeans brought to Africa was a very different Christianity that exists in Africa today. The Jesus we worship in Africa does not say turn the other cheek. Love your neighbour. Bless those who curse you or give to the needy. If you look at the things that you could call Africans “inferior” for it’s not so much poverty despite what media. It’s the tendency to steal from one another. It’s the inability to be humble enough to learn from cultures that have wronged us, it’s the manner in which our leaders flash wealth to feed their pride. It’s the awful way in which African women suffer rape because our men can’t control their lust. It’s the way in which we celebrate immoral celebrities and encourage violence between ourselves. No group is inherently smarter or harder working. There are hard working and smart individuals in every race on every continent but ultimately every group or even individual can only be as good as the beliefs they hold. We don’t obey rules, we don’t want seek correction because we only cry about our pain to excuse our own failing. Africa has an inferior god. And it shows. It’s not the Christian God who holds human life as sacred. If we had any sense we would stop trying to ask ourselves how to get “economic empowerment” and really start asking ourselves what value is there in over sexualising our women and having our young men die and kill each other for money. We would start realising that the same things that we think aren’t “cool” like honesty, integrity, forgiveness, mercy, humility, these things are the things that uplift people and bring honour to these Asians we are puppets of, these westerners who’s will we are forced to bend to. If you do good you will receive good.
Lol yeah pen man a cool idea but really ridiculous honestly 😂dark skin people i mean there is alot to our skin than shade, that mentality is lazy they might have conquered us with funny ideas like that but shades are complex for us Sun people(the words black people it's honestly inefficient to us as we are black , brown , yellow and even the so called white(albinos) and that could be a story of one family i mean my family in particular so shades are too complex but i guess your idea worked to get us in the comment arguing and stuff kudos on that😂.
True. I was wondering what he meant by dark skin and brown skin. Where's the difference? Also, black people, (using that term lightly) have come a long way. Achieved so much. So much injustice was done to us but we are and shall continue working our way through it, its only early days.
I respect your opinon, but l feel like you need to understand our past ( slavery, colonization, apartheid, etc) l think it's disrespectful for you to say " why were our ancestors not into guns, spice etcetera like other races...that's a huge sign of ignorance. They didn’t have to imitate white people to be superior. You need to read lots of books in line with our history as Africans etc

I hear you mentioning how other races have archived so much !!!! But I think as dark skinned people we are so focused on what all “the others” have accomplished and we do not realise how we have expanded as a people… we have billionaires we have millionaires and we have a lot of people of colour that have moved from rags to build something solid for their families….. we have taken over this country but we are too selfish to actually see what we have built as a people
Penuel, being inferior and having an inferiority complex are two different things which will have the same consequences. Black people have an inferiority complex yes, but they are not inferior. Maybe we should start by asking what study or studies are you referring to to make your conclusive claim besides having your own personal interpretation of what you see?
Isn’t it intriguing that the most developed African country is South Africa, with arguably the bulk of its development attributed to the Afrikaners? In contrast, other African nations haven’t seen the same level of progress. It’s only now, with China’s growing interests in Africa, that we’re witnessing significant infrastructure projects across the continent, further reinforcing his point. There may be no study to support this but there is empirical evidence.
You are obviously neglecting historical context and the gains we have made in recent history, o bua masepa for click bait. No one comes near us, we are morally superior that's our weakness
.that's true what he's saying however You will never find the other races talking about one of their own so negatively whether they are 100% correct or not in a public platform it's only us black people.every household has problems but that doesn't mean you should go in public discussing your your dirty laundry to everyone especially your enemies.
@@Penuelism I want to highlight the fact that, perhaps narratives about Superior races are misplaced, to start with - and I say this respectfully. It's also important to highlight to what extent do we base our Historical timeliness from, for example Greece (the oldest Civilization in Europe), was "Civilised" by Black Afrika. That was in the B.C era. Perhaps from my observation, Westerners have most of the time - not prioritized morality, and based the idea of Civilization at the expense of "others". (Please see George James - Stolen Legacy). In the (C.E) Common Era, the Moors from Black West Afrika, built the oldest University in Spain (Salamanca), and all they contributed was constructive, relative to the Coloniality we have seen post the 15th Century. Black Afrika needs to return to its Spititual identity systems, and we will begin thriving like our compatriots in the East. Name me a Colony still practicing the Coloniser "Spiritual" belief systems, that is a Force globally?
You've hit the nail on the head. The beginning of our problems started with Mensa Musa's economic interventions in Eurasia. Afrika was not always like this. @ZIZLISTO
@@ZIZLISTO Thank you for this. Outside of the history you've shared, which black group today dominates anywhere? How does that history tangibly change the black child's lived reality?
All power and authority comes from God. If we as a black race repent of our sins and turn back to God, accept Christ as our Lord and saviour, we will begin to see our fortunes change
an indication if this is correct is to look at the lives of those who are Christians and see if their lives are any better than ours. in most cases no.
The secret to all of this is UNITY, there's power in UNITY amongst black people you mentioned Israel i have worked with israelis for 9 years and understand how they operate with us black people in general i have given up most of us unite when we have to hurt someone 😂😂we hardly unite for a good cause only a few,Bob Marley said "AFRICA UNITE"HE WAS SENDING A MESSAGE THAT THREATENED THE CIA AND IT'S OPERATION THAT'S WHY THEY HAD TO SOCONGA HIM.I have personal given up the hope of seeing us working together done.
This is right and wrong at the same time. Black people are not inferior, we just subscribed to a different way of seeing the world. Africans didn’t conquer the world due to geographical challenges, abundant local resources, decentralized societies, and priorities focused on trade, cultural development, and regional dominance rather than global conquest. External invasions and disruptions, such as the transatlantic slave trade, weakened African states, making large-scale expansion difficult. However, African civilizations thrived regionally, and global conquest was not a universal measure of success. Today we are just divided, everyone is working together. Money circulates longer in communities with strong cultural ties and economic networks. In Asian and Jewish communities, it stays 20-28 days due to support for community businesses and reinvestment. White communities see about 17 days, benefiting from broader industry representation. Hispanic communities average 7 days, with some funds sent abroad. In Black communities, it lasts only 6 hours, reflecting systemic barriers and limited business ownership. Strengthening local entrepreneurship and community reinvestment can improve circulation times.
Who are you looking at Pen? It feels disrespectful to the lady. The visual is not great my brother. Let’s stop complaining about how black people have failed/are inferior. We need solutions and ideas that will spark creativity and change.
Biologically we're the Superiors. We contain Carbon and Stardust from billions of exploded stars. Shit I mean our skins are worth more than Gold. Our melanin powers computer chips.
...why the need to dominate? Ubuntu is a concept based on understanding and being understood...that is a superior way of living. Bullying is inferior and destructive...why do you have to conquer when you can trade? What is the essence of life..?? EAT, SLEEP, POO...and then we die? What is the point of going to the moon or Mars? Those who have nothing bully those who have.... "... we've been having it!" A tag line from a Vodacom advert many years ago. ...Beware colonisation is evident, brainwashing on the other hand is subtle and real. Black culture is superior, no doubt.

Penuel , the way I've grown to love your content and engagemnts on this platform even at times I genuinely did not agree with stuff you debated on BUT this one is a complete stretch, and beyond being a controversial take, just the whole idea that a race is inferior as a result of historic prejudice and pure horrific times against our own is way off bar and just not true.

Fidel Castro fought for Cuba and won with less than a 100 men. How come our ancestors were beaten by a less than a 100 people, when colonists set foot in Africa it was less than a 100 people but they conquered a whole continent
That's not true, they can't even stand up for their Palestinian brother, A black South African government had more balls than the rest of Middle Easterns
That's not true, none of them stood up for their Palestinian brothers and sisters, it took a black South African Government that has more balls than the rest of Middle Easterns. So your thesis doesn't hold
@kamohelomoloi it's not their job, their job is the lives of South Africans, they are avoiding problems they should addressing
@n.m6249 you are 100% correct, but don't say Arabic Muslims command respect, that's not entirely true brother, they are just as compromised if not worse
During the 35 years I lived in the Netherlands, problematic and challenging situations would be analysed, by the majority of people, on all levels, so that opportunities to improve could be identified and realised. During the past 10 years in SA, I see successful groups of people who keep to themselves (e.g. Muslims, Jews, Afrikaners, Indians), and then there is the majority of people including most of the political leadership, looking the other way: "Problem? I'm not solving it, so it's not my problem. When it's not my problem, there is no problem." I see massive dams, impressive feats of engineering established during the "white" years, with trees growing out of the staircases. Without maintenance, collapse is a matter of time. Dams are only a metaphor; this goes for all of society. When collapse happens, hands are raised to the sky, saying "what can we do"? (A whole lot, actually.) Regardless of colour: taking ownership, having a constructive and problem-solving attitude, getting things done - these are winning qualities, and they are definitely more prevalent among certain groups of people, rather than others. Rather than using divisive categories, just focus on those that have those qualities and work with them. A whole lot can be done.
An ability to cooperate in large groups is what we lack as black people, a good example of that is our spaza shops collapsed because everyone went to buy individually at the wholesalers thus separate transport and less buying power.
@@dikelakanoni 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 why not leverage stokvels?
if you don't value yourself how can you value other black people
I think the fundermental misconceptions about the characteristics that allow people to prosper, propose a detrimental prospect through which people believe that they are constrained by things that they can't control, which will influence their beliefs, world view and manifest into actions that make up a an unproductive culture.
I like that there is an emphasis on the word "culture" for i primarily believe that culture being the beliefs, values and overall way of living is the differentiating factor between those who are backward and those who are prosperous. If we look at disparities through the lense of culture we unvail a prospect that says " if you can change your culture, you can change your outcomes". It is culture that determines supriority or inferiority not race. It is understandable that due to events unfolding in the 20th century we have became reluctant to name one race superior and other inferior justly so. However we can not deny that there are certain characteristics, ideas, values and beliefs which have enabled certain groups of people to be more productive than others. From the idea of A nuclear family, 2 parent household being the best family structure, from the idea of mongamy being the best for ultimate compenionship, Christianity which bring a set of values and beliefs that if practiced will lead to a fulfilling life for all, to capitalism being the best system known to mankind for creating wealth and fighting poverty, the list is endless.
With that said we must always remember that the spread of ideas that had led to prosperous socities was not equal even in the western world.
Remember that the Greeks had philosophy, Geometry, architecture and literature at a time when britain was a land of primitive tribal people, Athens had Acropolis who's ruins are still impressive today at a time when britain had not even a single building, Greece had Plato, Euclid, aristotle and many other landmark figures who have the laid the interllectual foundation of western civilization at a time when not even a single briton had entered the pages of history. And this inequality was not just in Europe there were other complex civilization like India, China and Egypt when many European nations were still learning the rudiments of agriculture. History tells us that they were many European nations living in conditions that the greeks had transcended a 1000 years earlier. And they are many factors why greece was more developed that britain in the ancient world from geography and being able to access agriculture first as a result of being nearer to the middle east and many other factors.
However though disparities in wealth and wealth creating capacity have been have existed since many untold thousands of years the changes in a particular pattern of those disparities have occurred.
Though Greece was more advanced that britain in the ancient world britain became far more advanced than greece in the morden world when they led the world into the first industrial revolution. Nearly 40% of all inventions and discoveries made from the mid 18th century to the first quarter of the 19th century came from britain. And their prominence as a technologically advanced nation was met by their prominence as a conquering nation, occupying one fouth of the world's land area at its pic. One italian historian wrote, just how did a peripheral island rise from primitive squalor to world domination?
What this tells us is people at the top will not always be at the top and those at the bottom not always at the bottom given that something changes and that thing to me is culture. When people or nations lose the culture of honesty, integrity, humility, competition, innovation, entrepreneurship, sacrifice, hard work, education and skills development or overall the development of human capital, they will lose their position at the top and similarly if people at the bottom gain that culture they will rise to the top.
Being at the top can't just be about wealth if that was so every family or nations that has ever had wealth would maintain till eternity. But data tells us for families 70% of wealth is lost by the second generation and 90% is lost by the 3rd generation.
And rome would have never fallen, the ottoman empire would have never falled, spain would have never falled. Spain exploited just avout 400 tons of gold and silver from latin America at their peak had so much gold they referred to it as rain. But today they are amongst the poorer nations in europe. The all fell because the lost a culture. Family fall because children lose a certain culture that it took for their parents to build the wealth and same goes for nations.
Final note
Everyone can incorporate a culture of winning, we do it everyday, we do it when we learn that successful peope wake up in the morning and we start waking up in the morning, when we learn they exercise and we start exercising, when we learn they read and we start reading. Every time we change the way we live to get certain results we are changing a culture. The Afrikaners did it by incorporate into british culture getting into mining going to learn in their schools and coming back with those ideas but only to benefit their own people. They didn't become Afrikaners by remaining Afrikaner and boers they learned what made their superiors successful and incorporated it into their own society. Its what our peope must understand, you can't clinge to a culture that you've always had and expect different results thats insanity. We must learn to incorporate the culture that have led other groups of people to be prosperous cause if it works for them chances are in will work for us. But we dont want that because we call it white culture. There is no such thing as white culture only a culture of successful people and backwards people
Geez dude, s/o to you. This is so informative
You can not be more right. Even if you compare Asian culture to the European / white culture you Will find Asian culture far superior and that's why they have the fastest growing economies in the world. Culture is everything
You need to start your own yt channel
@Zamokuhle Nice try but not quite. A culture thsts not founded on STRONG SPIRITUAL principles cannot promote the VIRTUES that you listed. Afrikaners steeped on CALVANISTIC principles, Germans are steeped in LUTHERAN principles. They are raised to understand the value of harnessing and leveraging one's talents for the collective good, for its in serving others that we serve God. They have their own version if iSiNtu, uBuNtu. Thina weve lost our SPIRITUAL foundation, hence why we lack the driving force to build strong communities. Although Christianity originated from Africa (much like Judaism and Islam), the watered down version doesn't meet our needs, which goes to explain why we engage in all manner of debauchery (including corruption, ineptitude, greed) all as we purport to be Christians. Our ancestors knew better than to play games that would unleash generational curses, they strived to live right and do right because they were SPIRITUALLY grounded.
Africa will grow once we immerse ourselves in African spirituality which promotes brotherhood, service to each other and the creator in the quest to evolve to a higher spirit.
I bet some of those Kingdoms and Empires you mentioned collapsed because of SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY. The 2nd and 3rd generations lost sight of the SPIRITUAL impetuous and degenerated into debauchery.
SPIRITUALITY is the foundation of all that is good, it encourages the individual to embrace good virtues and work for the benefit of the collective.
@@ZamokuhleMohauduma the flaw in your analysis that I see is the definition of progress and culture. How are you progressing as a people if you are killig yourself in the process. You seem to equate comfort with progress. To progress youas an individual must be a able to wake a dead person up. Of you want ton understand a person that had progressed Google Simon Toku. Gaining the ability to kill people and destroy nature is not progress. Culture as well is dependent on the level of charge pr energy the xolecctovedoes not change, it gets collective body has. The collective energy decides the insecurities which advise culture. Culture is how you draw energy from your environment and it only presides at a particular level of collective charge beyond which it is not there. When it changes it either improves of regresses and we have been regressing al this time hence we live fewer years.

What I've come to acknowledge is that people who try "help" or "lead" our community, eventually realise it's difficult if not near impossible. And then usually come back with this kind of brash negative perspective without trying to rationalize what is actually going on.
You're expecting of the most oppressed that which the most privileged are afforded.
True. Loses came to South Africa to open spaza shops. They couldnt do it in their own countries.
Still don't get how people got labelled black and accepted it with pride.
exactly
As Neil Degrasse Tyson points out: The highest genetic diversity is in Africa. As a result, here are the tallest people and the shortest people. The fastest people and probably the slowest people (we don't have competitions for that). The strongest and the weakest. The most intelligent and the dumbest.
And yet, still in 2025, people look at the shared darker skin complexion and conclude that this group is generally the same homogenous group.

Thank you very much for your generosity 🙏🏽
As black people we lost. The systems we live under are not our own. Then we understandably persist in practicing our cultures to maintain our dignity even though they are no longer compatible with the current economic system. Its why we dont progress continentally.
We have other races like Indians and Chinese. They live in foreign systems, but they still excel.
You are wrong at so many levels. Your idea of superiority is flawed. Natural Superiority is the capacity to do what others cannot. If you have the capacity to fly and others can't then you are superior. Superiority is not you creating things to control your environment, that is inferiority. The more self sufficient you are the more superior you are. If you still seek to take from others then you are under developed and not self sufficient. The more developed a person is, the less they take the more they give and the less violent they are. Look at all spiritual Gurus, all of them had no violence yet they were clearly superior
Your body works based on the energy it has, the more energy it has the more it can do. The sun is the highest energy source in this world. Those
cannot stand in the sun are less developed and have less energy. This is a scientific fact, if energy being encounters another energy source with energy beyond its threshold, the one with less energy gets destroyed. Those that cannot stand in the sun for long are inferior. This is how you scientifically show superiority. We didn't build malicious weapons because we are service to others culture, the most advanced culture as opposed to the service to self that came with foreigners. You are way offline and your ignorance is misleading people.
💯
This topic feels unpleasant, but it's the truth 🙏😏
Very brilliant analysis.
Simple,we didn't have to venture out for spices and other essential resources because we had abundance we had all we needed they came and convinced us otherwise,we didn't have superior weaponry because what we had was adequate to fight amongst ourselves,the Europeans went in search of new lands because they had plundered everything where they where and in order to survive they had to find new lands with resources, we were never jealous of them so they were never a threat initially until it was too late,we lived in harmony with nature and preserved our resources to the point that even today theres still many to be plundered by foreign powers.
The Bantu came out of W Africa, invaded other peoples lands, kld them and depopulated half of Africa.
I have thought this for a while now. I even asked some friends over the weekend on how we actually got colonized, like why did we allow that?
I used to ask myself that how can our ancestors be beaten by less than a 100 people, when colonizers came it was less than a 100 people.
@@n.m6249we brought knives to a gun fight.
BAAAAARRRRRZZZZZ!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This perspective is sooooo interesting and well thought through. It's difficult to find people that think independently and so honestly like this. Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know you to be a radical thinker , but this is a serious one. I admire your fearless courage to speak. I'm asking what makes u speak like this.
This man is right but one thing that we overlook or don't know in the first place is that in the first 30 years of the Afrikaaner lead government they we in the same position like us they just gained power from the oppression of the British and they were dealing with corruption too a lot but one thing they did differently than us is that they went In with a plan to uplift the Afrikaans people no matter what even with corruption they ideas to see all Afrikaans people doing well we on the other hand started with that ideal but succumbed to the temptations of greed if we as a people get back to that ideal uplifting one another on the basis that you are a native black south african who speaks one of the 9 native languages the 10th native being the khoi/San languages
Does doing something morally wrong to get you an advantage over another make you superior over others?
that’s how nature works + morality is subjective and changes over time
The liberation of Africans will first need the corporation and organization of the African people. Africans were not always like this. Go and research the empires that existed before the subjugation of the Africans, eg, the Mali empire under Mensa Musa.
@@nkosinathindala4745 Pan Africanism is an invention of the late 1800s. People split up and migrated for a reason. As for the Mali empire, Mansa Musa was a notorious slaver of thousands of Afticans but for some reason people are blinded by his wealth to that fact.
I really like how you actualize on how you see yourself and your ability to transpose your views on every race's abilities.
If only more people could adapt to this mindset, it would be easier to detect calamity before it happens by adapting to mood of every race we come across.
I really appreciate the lessons you've taught on this podcast ❤
Panuel just spoke the realist truth, motivation at its best.
Fool
One other thing worth mentioning is that Politics dominated our psychic 🔮
Few black people judge the South African history based intrinsic historical details. They judge it based on generalisation wrapped in political boxes by politicians in past and present.
As a South African dreaming of the return of Apartheid, I am not surprised by your content. You are not educated. Not scientific andbself hated. Science tells us a different story, but that's beyond your level.
Truth is not only linear.
There is a song by Damian Marley
"Looks are Deceiving" from his album stone hill. That resonates with the theme of this notion.
The current state of the world has special gems only if we remove the ideologies and indoctrinations we've stimulated our (minds) beings with. Then the truth will reveal its beauty.
I just pray people watch the video before they comment because if you just look at the title you won’t have any context to the question being asked 🙏🏽
The way the question is framed is loaded and not a little tabloid. It seemed like click bait. With all the research into melanin, the biological and psychological context we're given to view it in, the exhaustive resources and scientific insights into it. Africans are among the smartest people on the planet, they simply cannot be that far behind. No, Penuel could have asked the question differently.
Loosing one soul for some temporary power is a great shame. Life is eternal and so are we. 😢
We're turning the other cheek. I was telling someone to stop feeling like they're blessed to be anywhere, be audacious. It's not "God's grace and mercy." It's you and your "board of directors", whatever it takes. Gonna have to break rules, they only apply to us
Penuel, I am.real proud of you by talking about this.
Yall see what Eldia did to Marley before and after Eren ?
A scary fact about lions is that they occassionaly kill elephants for the fun of it.
I hope Penuel will read this.
There will always be a people or civilisation that is preferable to another. This has always been like this. In the past people came to the conclusion that a people can only be as good as the God that they serve. Now I believe that’s 100 percent true. We become what we worship. Why because you will imitate your God. That’s why the old Germanic people were so violent: they worshiped gods of war.
No I know ma boy Penuel doesn’t have much space for belief in the divine but bear with me. Gods are sophisticated personifications for the values of a society. And I don’t think anyone will object to the idea of values being real.
Now some gods are superior to others simply because some values lead to better outcomes than others.
You might say that the Europeans were Christian and Africa is the most Christian place on earth today but I would disagree you see the Christianity the Europeans brought to Africa was a very different Christianity that exists in Africa today.
The Jesus we worship in Africa does not say turn the other cheek. Love your neighbour. Bless those who curse you or give to the needy.
If you look at the things that you could call Africans “inferior” for it’s not so much poverty despite what media. It’s the tendency to steal from one another. It’s the inability to be humble enough to learn from cultures that have wronged us, it’s the manner in which our leaders flash wealth to feed their pride. It’s the awful way in which African women suffer rape because our men can’t control their lust. It’s the way in which we celebrate immoral celebrities and encourage violence between ourselves.
No group is inherently smarter or harder working. There are hard working and smart individuals in every race on every continent but ultimately every group or even individual can only be as good as the beliefs they hold. We don’t obey rules, we don’t want seek correction because we only cry about our pain to excuse our own failing.
Africa has an inferior god. And it shows. It’s not the Christian God who holds human life as sacred.
If we had any sense we would stop trying to ask ourselves how to get “economic empowerment” and really start asking ourselves what value is there in over sexualising our women and having our young men die and kill each other for money. We would start realising that the same things that we think aren’t “cool” like honesty, integrity, forgiveness, mercy, humility, these things are the things that uplift people and bring honour to these Asians we are puppets of, these westerners who’s will we are forced to bend to.
If you do good you will receive good.

True. I was wondering what he meant by dark skin and brown skin. Where's the difference?
Also, black people, (using that term lightly) have come a long way. Achieved so much. So much injustice was done to us but we are and shall continue working our way through it, its only early days.
Is he lying??
I respect your opinon, but l feel like you need to understand our past ( slavery, colonization, apartheid, etc) l think it's disrespectful for you to say " why were our ancestors not into guns, spice etcetera like other races...that's a huge sign of ignorance. They didn’t have to imitate white people to be superior.
You need to read lots of books in line with our history as Africans etc

Inferior is the wrong word, it's waaaay more complex, nuanced and context specific to be so simplistic and binary.

This guy is illiterate. He should study the history Black that goes back door over over 5 000.
I hear you mentioning how other races have archived so much !!!! But I think as dark skinned people we are so focused on what all “the others” have accomplished and we do not realise how we have expanded as a people… we have billionaires we have millionaires and we have a lot of people of colour that have moved from rags to build something solid for their families….. we have taken over this country but we are too selfish to actually see what we have built as a people
Penuel, being inferior and having an inferiority complex are two different things which will have the same consequences. Black people have an inferiority complex yes, but they are not inferior. Maybe we should start by asking what study or studies are you referring to to make your conclusive claim besides having your own personal interpretation of what you see?
Isn’t it intriguing that the most developed African country is South Africa, with arguably the bulk of its development attributed to the Afrikaners? In contrast, other African nations haven’t seen the same level of progress. It’s only now, with China’s growing interests in Africa, that we’re witnessing significant infrastructure projects across the continent, further reinforcing his point. There may be no study to support this but there is empirical evidence.
Panuel is such a smart guy
Maybe it's not a nature thing but a rather matter of attitude and response to challenges
This guy is 💯 on point
You are obviously neglecting historical context and the gains we have made in recent history, o bua masepa for click bait.
No one comes near us, we are morally superior that's our weakness
.that's true what he's saying however You will never find the other races talking about one of their own so negatively whether they are 100% correct or not in a public platform it's only us black people.every household has problems but that doesn't mean you should go in public discussing your your dirty laundry to everyone especially your enemies.
Grootman, go and read the works of Prof Hendrik Clarke, Dr Ben Josef Yochannan, Prof Ivan von Sertimer etc
Your opinion will change fundamentally...
Any specific books?
I've been exposed to their work. Which aspect of their work would you like to highlight?
@@Penuelism I want to highlight the fact that, perhaps narratives about Superior races are misplaced, to start with - and I say this respectfully.
It's also important to highlight to what extent do we base our Historical timeliness from, for example Greece (the oldest Civilization in Europe), was "Civilised" by Black Afrika. That was in the B.C era. Perhaps from my observation, Westerners have most of the time - not prioritized morality, and based the idea of Civilization at the expense of "others". (Please see George James - Stolen Legacy).
In the (C.E) Common Era, the Moors from Black West Afrika, built the oldest University in Spain (Salamanca), and all they contributed was constructive, relative to the Coloniality we have seen post the 15th Century.
Black Afrika needs to return to its Spititual identity systems, and we will begin thriving like our compatriots in the East.
Name me a Colony still practicing the Coloniser "Spiritual" belief systems, that is a Force globally?
You've hit the nail on the head. The beginning of our problems started with Mensa Musa's economic interventions in Eurasia. Afrika was not always like this. @ZIZLISTO
@@ZIZLISTO Thank you for this. Outside of the history you've shared, which black group today dominates anywhere?
How does that history tangibly change the black child's lived reality?

Is this a klip to a full vid?
what a best characterization
All power and authority comes from God. If we as a black race repent of our sins and turn back to God, accept Christ as our Lord and saviour, we will begin to see our fortunes change
It’s this mentality that has kept us oppressed and inferior. Please free yourself from that slavery.
And this is why we'll never get anywhere. 🤦🏿♂️
an indication if this is correct is to look at the lives of those who are Christians and see if their lives are any better than ours. in most cases no.
Social Darwinism, Google that, and learn
I think k it’s the opposite with all due respect I feel we are superior and they know it
The secret to all of this is UNITY, there's power in UNITY amongst black people you mentioned Israel i have worked with israelis for 9 years and understand how they operate with us black people in general i have given up most of us unite when we have to hurt someone 😂😂we hardly unite for a good cause only a few,Bob Marley said "AFRICA UNITE"HE WAS SENDING A MESSAGE THAT THREATENED THE CIA AND IT'S OPERATION THAT'S WHY THEY HAD TO SOCONGA HIM.I have personal given up the hope of seeing us working together done.

But..but We Wuz Kangs and Shiett😂😂
The struggle for existence
Well, this is going to be taken down.
This is right and wrong at the same time. Black people are not inferior, we just subscribed to a different way of seeing the world. Africans didn’t conquer the world due to geographical challenges, abundant local resources, decentralized societies, and priorities focused on trade, cultural development, and regional dominance rather than global conquest. External invasions and disruptions, such as the transatlantic slave trade, weakened African states, making large-scale expansion difficult. However, African civilizations thrived regionally, and global conquest was not a universal measure of success. Today we are just divided, everyone is working together. Money circulates longer in communities with strong cultural ties and economic networks. In Asian and Jewish communities, it stays 20-28 days due to support for community businesses and reinvestment. White communities see about 17 days, benefiting from broader industry representation. Hispanic communities average 7 days, with some funds sent abroad. In Black communities, it lasts only 6 hours, reflecting systemic barriers and limited business ownership. Strengthening local entrepreneurship and community reinvestment can improve circulation times.
He ain't lying 😶
Who are you looking at Pen? It feels disrespectful to the lady. The visual is not great my brother. Let’s stop complaining about how black people have failed/are inferior. We need solutions and ideas that will spark creativity and change.
Biologically we're the Superiors. We contain Carbon and Stardust from billions of exploded stars. Shit I mean our skins are worth more than Gold. Our melanin powers computer chips.
...why the need to dominate? Ubuntu is a concept based on understanding and being understood...that is a superior way of living. Bullying is inferior and destructive...why do you have to conquer when you can trade? What is the essence of life..?? EAT, SLEEP, POO...and then we die? What is the point of going to the moon or Mars?

Why didn't you sothos have guns (let's forget race cos we never fought whites as a race but as tribes)
This is innacurate, you've got to consider the historical context. What was the world like in the 1400s?
Your argument is shallow,you cannot meaure inferiority or superiority based on other people behaviors.
