a hut vs a trailer park.....oh yeah sure you prefer a hut

This guy is hilarious. Somebody take him to the trailer parks and shanty towns of the midwest please.

I'll explain in a rational way.

People who are builders, creators, creatives, have a specific kind of intelligence. It's an intelligence you are unable to value. Jazz was invented by black people, along with rock & roll, and most of modern music, but you don't pay much attention to any of that.

Before that, the pyramids were invented in Egypt and built. Building and creative intelligence is not the same as destructive or war intelligence. Africans were good and are good at builting stuff, and being creative, designing cultures, and at inventing tribal forms of government.

The Native Americans were good at this too, they protected the earth, they were better with the land, and better at governing themselves. The difference is, they were not aggressive and good at war. Egyptians if you look, they never were a major military force, the Romans always had a better military. If you look at Africa, Africa was never the military might of the world, it was always Europe.

The culture of Egypt was extremely religious and people built pyramids as a religious act. The tribes in Africa had no concept of war, and the concepts they had were absolutely nothing like what Europeans had. In African tribes, they were waging wars which usually was more like a ritual, where the strongest of the tribe, usually just 2 people, would fight 1 on 1 and that would settle it. Sometimes it would be a few people, but they'd all fight 1 on 1, there was no concept of organized war on the scale you think of, thats why they used spears.

The difference was Europeans came in with guns, which were hundreds of years more advanced in war technology. At this time the Africans were hundreds of years more advanced in governing techniques and in diplomacy, most of their problems were solved through rituals, many Africans thought wars were to be faught in a ritualized and fair way, but Europeans came in with guns and there was nothing fair about it.

This happened because Europeans got the gun first, thats all. The same happens with Native Americans, they had a federal government, a federation of tribes, and they had the land all divided up and everything worked out to have years if not centuries of peaceful conflict resolution, then some new people came in with guns and all they had was bow and arrow, they did not have the WEAPONS technology.

The Africans and Native Americans had language, both had music, both had culture, both had clothing, both had housing, both had water, food, government, they had all they needed to live off the land for hundreds of thousands of years, and were invaded by another culture.Europeans developed weapons because they were used to fighting, and moving, and it was in their culture to conquer. The Chinese who you say were so smart ,and who invented gun power for fireworks, got invaded and conquered by the British. Why? Because the Chinese built a wall to hide from the barbarians on the outside, they didnt know how far ahead of them Europeans were, or about guns until it was too late, by the time they started using gunpowder to make guns, Europeans had cannons.

The only thing that mattered was which group of people were the best warriors. I'm guessing JB is a warrior himself. Someone like JB would have conquered many people, and then after ruling over them, claim them all to be inferior. It's might that decides who is intelligent and who isnt, it's decided by military might. So right now it's obvious that Europeans are the most intelligent, because they conquered the world to prove it, but this does not mean the Europeans were as good at building civilizations as the Egyptians or the Native Americans, I mean hell, why do you think black people were chosen to build the USA?
It's one thing to build guns, it's another thing to build railroads and entire cities. Yes white people can build too, but slavery certainly made it cheaper.
What can we learn from Egyptian / African culture and Native American culture? How to be sustainable and last for over 5000 years. How to build civilizations which won't collapse or destroy and pollute the earth.

I'm not saying Egypt or Native American civilizations would never collapse, I'm simply saying we can learn from these long lasting old civilization styles, Native Americans had decentralized government before the western world knew what it was, and Egyptians and Africans had socialism before the west knew what that was.

Basically, all the stuff we do now, was done back then under different names. If we study ancient society we can learn a lot. Sure, study Rome, study the Greeks, but also study Egypt, and also study African tribes, and Native tribes. It can only help you to take the best ideas humans have invented and apply them regardless of what bodies these ideas came from. If they work, use them.

This post it just epic.

Europeans arrived on sea worthy ships that were capable of sailing the world. To arrive to your naked villages of stone age barbarism. With a better language that could be and had been written to be easily understood for years, to record such events. Its safe to say they had better "clothing, housing, both had water, food, government".

Its obvious that Europeans are the most intelligent. This is true.

Hell why were black people chose to build America?

Well the Europeans brought them here for their deep intellect and design. As seen from their mud houses and non-existent ships from Africa. To not enslave them for pure instructed manual labor. But really to let them freely walk. To work about, call the shots and lead the Europeans on how to carve a nation out of pure wilderness. Just being a few years from inventing the first automoblie, the Europeans had no clue. Their historic home countries of great success like England, Spain etc were of no help.

I can't argue with Hopkins contention that...

black men have bigger ****s. First blacks, then ***s, then everybody else. It's just a fact of genetics so resign yourselves. Also black men have thin calves. That's from running through the jungle. ***s were once great in boxing but they were known to be cheap in the ring. And they controlled the money. And Hollywood also. White guys are tough and they hit hard but they bleed. Hispanics like to come forward. Nigerians are slick. Iranians are quick. The English won't take any ****. Because they lost their Empire. The French? They box well. Italians? Look out! Irish? Oh my God! I can dig Bernard Hopkins. He opens his mouth and words come out. I got the same problem. Except nobody listens to me.

[Pu$$yKiller]

Gotta say, racial devide on here is a disgrace.

**** man sport has always had barriers, but sadly a fair few of us on here have showed our true colours.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Yeah they are pretty fast

[SirTomJones]

boring trash like this makes it hard to like Hopkins

[MarkItZero!]

Some of you ******s need to go to Africa and SEE what black people have built and are building there.

Some of you inbred yokels need to realise the DAMAGE slavery did to the planet and that it was not only white people but black people that profitted from it.

Then remember the gun came from living in the northern hemisphere with a trade link to China.

THAT was the Arabic/European/Asian advantage.

Those communities profited from an exclusive trade in ammunition and arms that could not be accessed by the communities in the Southern hemisphere.

Consider your Native Americans too.

Sick people go get a history lesson.

PS Hopkins has a point. Check your sprinters and distance runners.
