To say Blacks have no history besides slavery is absolutely ignorant. We created all of civilization. We created activism. We created sociology. We created all forms of art and music in this country. We literally built this country. We created numerous fields and programs within modern education. We invented too many things to name. You should truly educate yourself on Blackness.

You created all of civilization? Huh? The Ancient Sumerians and Babylonians were black? The Ancient Egyptians were black? The Ancient Greeks were black? The Ancient Israelites were black? The Ancient Romans were black? The great figures of the European Renaissance and Enlightenment were black? All news to me. The Egyptians being black is the only one of these that’s even a debating matter, though the best evidence is that they were probably more similar in skin color to other Mediterranean and Middle Eastern peoples, as they themselves repeatedly referred in their texts to the darker people of “Nubia” to the South.

You created activism? Did activism did not exist before black people started it? Have you heard of the French Revolution? The Glorious Revolution? The American Revolution? The Russian Revolution? Gandhi? I mean, the list just keeps going and going ….

You created sociology? Have you heard of Max Weber? Emile Durkheim? August Compte? Were these guys black?

You created all forms of art and music in this country? Yes, totally, if you mean that you created some important art and music in this country. But, of course, no if you mean that you “invented” art and music in this country. Obviously, I could make another long list of some of the big figures in American art and music who were not black.

You created “numerous fields and programs within modern education”? Like what fields? African-American studies?

More generally, I view this all as a silly game because it completely and utterly misses the whole point of mine that you’re attempting to respond to here. That point is that too many African-Americans feel the need to create a racial history for themselves, and then, as a result, find themselves grasping at straws. If more African-Americans stopped racializing their history and embraced all human achievements are our collective universal history, we wouldn’t need to count how many big culture heroes are black, white or anything else.
