It is amazing how despite white people being genetically superior to us black people in every way especially in intelligence, white people have never been smart enough to come up with a way to stop us black people from ruining their day. That is a very believable story that white people had the largest empires, they control all 3 branches of the government of the most powerful country with the most powerful military with the largest economy in the world, which happens to also be a white majority country, but they just can’t figure out how to stop us black people from sabotaging everything they do. White people are never incompetent or dumb, it’s always an invisible black man that passes through walls like a ghosts and starts messing with the wires.

We’re inferior we just usually win for some reason.
I mean think about it: the confederacy, Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, Rhodesia, why do we win so often? We’re so inferior but we just get so lucky every government that doesn’t like us either collapses or loses an existential war for its existence. It’s funny how that works.

In fairness, it’s the sacrifice of Union soldiers, British betrayal of the Rhodesian government in favor of Mugabe, the Allies destroying Nazi Germany, and universal boycotts and sanctions on the Boer government. In none of these cases was there a slave rebellion or popular uprising that actually ousted the oppressors.
White supremacy defeats itself through fixed ideology, autocratic structures, and an inflexible world view. The Nazis lost WWII in December 194
41 outside the gates of Moscow. Apartheid already was crumbling under Botha and nobody sane was going to unleash the horrors dreamed up under Project Coast. The Confederacy was run by aristocratic shitheads with a cotton monoculture. Imagine if it had endured until the Boll Weavil.

In Haiti, black slaves did successfully revolt and form a nation. A lot of people have a belief that Europe was massively superior in terms of technology when they colonized Africa, but Africans already had iron and writing. The two differences were gunpowder and population. Europe had a significantly larger population than Africa for all of history up until the 1990s. If you look into population projections, in 2100, 40% of people in the world are projected to be African and the average age of an African in 2100 will be younger than the average age of a European today. I don’t think people understand just how badly this whole thing will backfire in the long run.

Haitians slaughtered all the mulattos on the beach and ended up with the failed state we see today, with plenty of European culpability for its isolation. Africans with iron and writing were Ethiopian or Saharan and above.

That’s not true. Most African Americans are Nigerian in origin, Nigeria has had iron for a long time. Nigerians also had multiple writing systems.

More than one language is spoken in Nigeria, but most west African languages are tonal. Before Nigeria was colonized by westerners, in what’s now southern Nigeria, Igbo speakers used to write in Nsibidi which is similar to Chinese in that instead of being phonetic each word had its own unique character. In the north, Yoruba speakers wrote using a version of Arabic script called Anjemi. Igbo and Yoruba are both tonal languages.

Now, they mostly use Latin script with tone markers (which China almost did under Mao actually), but there is a valid reason why using an alphabet for a tonal language isn’t necessarily a good solution. For example, "ogun" can mean 20, war, the god of iron, or it can be the name of a river, but it’s all spelled the same way if you use Latin characters.

Also, on the topic of Haiti, Haitian vodou comes from Yoruba religion, and the symbols that Haitians use to represent their gods, the symbols are called veves, those symbols actually come from the ancient nsibidi script.

And like, I feel like I really shouldn’t have to explain that a bunch of people who worshipped a god of iron had the ability to produce tools and weapons from iron.
But Nigerians (which is what African Americans are) weren’t just a bunch of primitive tribal people with stone spears, Nigerians had swords made from iron.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_(sword)
They had statues made from Bronze
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benin_Bronzes
They also had governments with recorded histories going back hundreds of years
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oba_of_Benin
They also had their own unique styles of architecture
