I just find it really dumb people say that Africans didn’t build two story buildings because they were stupid, and yet, it only took a single google search to find that Nigerians (where African Americans originally came from) traditionally lived in two story houses before contact with Europeans.

Like… the level of irony in calling black people stupid for not building two story houses when people can’t fucking google what an traditional African house looks like.
Or saying that Africa was in the "Stone Age" before Europeans got there, but sub Saharan Africas had swords though… so how does that work?
