There’s some stuff on the internet that just makes me lose faith that I’ll ever find intelligent life on this planet. Take this for example:

This (well meaning) white guy tries to explain why Africans didn’t invent wheels. Except the problem is they did though:

It’s sorta like how people argue about whether black people built "the pyramids" and don’t bother googling where most of the pyramids in Africa are in the first place.

Or like when people say things like "sub Saharan Africans didn’t build two story buildings." But they never bothered googling traditional African architecture or something.

Or like, when people say Africans didn’t have writing… but they never bothered googling it.

Why don’t people google stuff?

Or like people that think Africans only fought Europeans with spears and they were Stone Age societies, and they didn’t have any other weapons like swords.
