Great stuff. Leo Africanus states that the West African book trade was the most important source of wealth in the imperial days...why whenever I read about Ghana, Mali, and Songhai (from European authors) they say that the most important trade items were gold and slaves??? Things that make you go 'hmmm'...
I met Robin Walker at a talk he gave in Manchester on Songhai and after its fall the slave trade he's decent, humble guy and he knows his stuff a valuable asset in a country that got its wealth from slavery. In my opinion Musa made a big mistake bringing all that gold with those savages there he turned his land into a target, how many rich countries do we know who doesn't have powerful military to protect their riches?
***** you moron!! Every one knows the so called IQ testing is culturally biased and designed by whites .. the link you provided also mentions this very fact linking the English and the Finnish(ed) professors to white supremacy and hate groups ...don't waste my time
Please cover the Pharaohs of Greco Roman Egypt, also, East Rome, West Rome-Men like St. Basil, St. Maurice, and the Theban Legion, and Black Roman Emperors of the 200s.
Why keep describing us as a "crayon" color..."black" ppl have Titles for "Who" and "Whats" We are.... SIDE NOTE: the FIRST ppl didNOT describe "themselves" as Black
