where i grew up things were different so thats the right way or thats how it should be". Atabong good for you to have originated in such a peaceful area.... but reallity of life is different. My great grandmother told me of stories way before her time and it wasn't always 100% peaceful(all this before the europeans and arabs came). She is african!

I very much doubt that anybody here has said that there ever was perfect harmony in
All of Africa before the Europeans & Arabs came in to disrupt and destroy Africa's civilizations with their cooked up religions and
slave driven/dependent economic models.
Its really strange how
Africans always put Africa on a BIG trial (when filled with doubt about Africa's obvious greatness) but NEVER seem to put this
same SCRUTINY on
roman white jesus & desert arab Allah.
Amazing!

Look at ancient civilizations before christianity....(greek empire for example and african tribal wars and disputes that led to migrations) there were similar like problems like today..maybe not as large scale as now but they were there.

First off; using the word
tribe to describe ancient Africa's wars vs
Greek empire wars in the same breath reflects your
eurocentric prism/view of things:
If we are going to use the word 'tribe" then let us also ask why the english have been having tribal wars with the Irish (Northern Ireland) filled with blood thirsty violence & brutality unimaginable.
Or lets talk about the "world wars"-a misnomer: because these wars between european tribes which bled millions of people were just that: tribal wars. Period.
Why again I ask. why do we swallow the eurocentric pretensions that their wars have a
higher purpose (ideals, nationality, freedom) and philosophy and African nations' wars (not tribes ever) are just savage bloody skirmishes by primitive sub-humans?
Because at the end of the day,
war is stupid and is always, always caused by greed & power-seeking.
In Europe. In Asia. In Africa. forget all the intellectual garb they will give it.
So this is the deal Talula:
We are Africans. We reserve the right to define ourselves-Our
BLACK GOD, our culture, our technology and how we produce, distribute and consume our products and services i.e our economy.
We must
learn to think for ourselves.
Only
science and technology is useful from the europeans. We give credit where its due: They stole and continue to steal our science-then shut us down via poverty and installing on us this idea that we can just be miserable and we will go their heaven.
So lets check what the Japanese did: They did not invent the car. No shame in that. But whose car are we driving now? Whose plasma TV (trust Africans!) are we aspiring/borrowing/saving to own now?
Who is lauging all the way to the bank and building his civilization? Mr. Tokyo. Or Shanghai.
You rarely see them debating about the vatican, white jesus or Allah! So there is an inverse ratio here and we Africans are refusing to get it. Because we still believe in white heaven or worse fear whitey's made up hell (see our thread on History of the Devil)
All other "humanities" starting from their white deities to their "great" history (greece/rome/britain/america) their anthropology (you the subject-them the objective observer) their economics "science" (socialism, capitalism) is so
FULL OF UTTER LIES and has made Africans
helplessly foolish.
Crawlng around
unable to think big for Africa.
Dependent on whitey for everything from god to nappies.
Just like a little heroin addicts
And I am talking about many African Phds, Masters', Bachelor holders...to start with.
White education is no guarantee of wisdom
What a great pity for the Motherland
I very much doubt that your grandmother meant that since Africans had wars (was this every where & everyday, year in yr out?) pre-invasion that she was happy that Africa was raped off its peoples & lands-till now?
(now this a derailment-Ndigala2 will not like!)
