Deny all you want

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_empires your truth doesnt go very far

Notice the drop once u go subsaharan

sub saharan is anything south of the sahara

most of the civilizations are sub saharan

empires even

The line is Benin

Horizontally

all these civilizations are sub saharn except for the obvious north african ones

some extend a little bit into the sahara

your idea is racist and underwhelming

On top of this, sub Saharan IQ in much of the region qualifies for mental retardation and incredibly low intelligences.

These are not empires, not even close, they did not adopt the term for emperor, they are savage tribes not empires, mere large tribes are not
Fucking empires

they are not savage large tribes they are multinational polities

with their own distinct capital

They do not hold enough civilized society or power to be considered more than a tribe

They are savage large tribes

they were stunted by colonialism

That was inevitable

only if you believe in imperialism

They weren't stunted, merely put in their place

they were stunted by imperialism

Wrong, they were more prosperous under colonialism

They couldn't event use the technology and assests the empires left the Africans after they left

aristocrats turned africa into artificially divided slave colonies

they forced warring ethnic groups together and outlawed cultural practices

And introduced ideas such as sanitization, ciivlization, cities, paved roads

Architecture

Health

architecture and civilization already existed

you cant prove the others

Not in subsaharan Africa

you have a funny superiority complex when speaking of africans

Or do you think collections of mud huts are civilized?

no and thats a good thing

purposely ignoring the architecture of previous african empires is pretty silly

colonialism was gay

but you already think sticking a people into alien phases of development with artificial relations with other groups is okay

They are uncivilized savages and must either be left to their own devices or conqured

leave them to their own devices

Which is what I suggest

(((technology))) and (((civilization))) are gay
