Precisely my point. They were something our ANCESTORS made 1000s of years ago. However , we are living in times of where mud huts are more than just obselete. They are ANCIENT! Sub Saharan Africans still live in them...
Do YOU know how to build a modern house? Nope, but I'll bet you any of those Africans living in a "mud-hut" built it himself. At least they are self sufficient, but if you were given the tools and supplies to build your own modern western style house you wouldn't have a damn clue what to do.

That's a little subjective, isn't it? Maybe 'backwards' by your western standards, but not to them.

I never said I hated black people. They have a vastly different culture than white people. I never said that they would not survive in their mud huts.
And who said that they are not paying tax or tariff to their ultra corrupt capatialist government? I am sure the government of an sub Sarahan African country is surely trying to get money from their citizens...

Ever the victims. Apparently it's once again the ever-present "evil racist Europeans" saying that Egyptians weren't black, just because they are...well, "evil" and "racist".
So: Why are we taught that Black Africans never formed or ruled Ancient Egypt? Because they didn't. It's not evil Europeans saying this just because that's how they want it to be... They're saying it because that's how it really was.edit on 26-7-2011 by WolfLookout because: (no reason given)

Have you ever been to africa?
I'm african but white.
BLACK people live in close knit communities in family orientation. Its their instinct. Just like its in white people instinct to explore as a means to "get away" and start our own.
Egypt is was populated by africans, not central african blacks.
Just takes common sense not propaganda.

Not really. You've got some stream of consciousness writing going on where you are skipping steps between thoughts. I might just grasp the flavour of where you are going with your post.
