Historians will tell us that the Pyramids in Egypt that have survived until present day are definitely not the apex of unadulterated pure Black civilization.
The European did not ransack the Asiatic Black Man with one single war.
It was hundreds and hundreds of wars, over many many years and many many generations.
The Black Man would win some wars and battles, and lose some wars and battles. But each instance inevitably destroyed what was the apex of Black civilization. Between these wars, that Black Man first had to survive, then try to rebuild his once Supreme civilization. He never got back to his natural way of life, because sooner or later, another brutal and destructive war had to be faught.
The result of all this, over the years, it what we see today. The Black Man and Woman of course has to assimilate to the European way of life, because the culmination of these wars was the destruction of Black civilization. We no longer have the power to live how we would if left alone.
We cannot be simple minded and think that "Black culture" is defined by trivial things like fashion and "proper or improper English." The culture that was lost is long gone and out dated/out of time. The world has changed too much, and too much time has past, so that we no longer have relavent grasp on what Black culture was before the many European invasions of Africa.
I do not like being a second class citizen in a nation that my ancestors built for free. In a nation where my ancestors fought and died in every single war; Revolutionary on up. In a nation that my ancestors and I were and are the backbone of its socioecnomic, political and military prowess.
Those Black Men and Women that are satisfied with their assimilation and acceptance of Western civilization, concede to being second class citizens. No where in history has there been an instance of different "races" living together, peacefully, on a level playing field. Someone has to be the foot stool.
