The Greatest Lie Ever Told About Africans

There's an African quote that goes ' Until the lion learns to write his story, every story will glorify the hunter.'

One of the biggest lies is also the size of Africa

While I can resonate with some part of your script, I feel you were disingenuous talking about Africans not being a part of the slave trade. Every African empire was built on the backs of slaves, and in our interactions with the foreigners, we traded them off for the items they produced. At the feverish peak of the global slave trade, Africans were kidnapping one another and selling them off to slavery. That was the story of Queen Nzinga of Matamba and Ndongo, Joseph Cinque, and many more. You need not infuse lies in your story to make Africa look even more victimized. It's already apparent what the colonialists did.

Zimbabwe has an amazing history, culture and folklore. Proud to be one and thank you for talking about it here.

Biggest Lie is.... Africa is Poor

This is so spot on. All our textbooks focused on Egypt as the one and only civilization in Africa. So much so that a lot of us grew up thinking Egypt and Africa were two different countries/continents

a grate video bro, as a Sudanese African you made me more proud of my ancestors, also I wanted to remind you of one of the earliest civilizations and written African languages, the Ethiopian Gi'iz language from which the Amharic and the Tigrai languages descended

The thing that upsets me the most is that accomplishments that we paramount in society are continually dampened because today's accomplishments dwarf anything that may shed light to the many atrocities that gave way to today's society.

Wow i'm an Ethiopian and i loved his content and his idea to show the world the true Africans history But he forgotten that we(Ethiopians) have our own writing system till now

I’m from zimbabwe 🇿🇼 thank you for all these videos I hope every African can see these and understand how beautiful, majestic and powerful we are as black Africans

The desire to find acceptance of other worldly cultures has caused us to be naïve to our own creation. The refusing of oneself has proved to encapsulate our being and until we break free in realization, we are doomed to accept any lie that has been proposed about our identity. I really appreciate this obviously logical and truthful information. It is almost impossible to find in a sea of cultural degradation.

As far as I know, my ancestors were entirely non African, but the great diversity and beauty of African people has always fascinated me. Thank you for these enlightening videos. Personally, the religious snare against dark skinned people has always seemed to me to be stupid nonsense. In my youth, they were usually the most interesting people I met.

As a Zimbabwean, im sooo proud to see our history being displayed!!

I’m not even black but I enjoy watching your videos and learning about true African cultures 💯

Brother. I have to view this again. It was so concise, I may have missed it. I’ve never been told I was was cursed

I am from Jamaica, and Our African history is not teached in our schools. It's slowly losing ground. I don't even know what tribe my forebear was from.

I would like to encourage you guys to look up some of the histories of Africa outside of the slave trade: Kush, Timbuktu, Benin, Mansa Musa I, Queen Nzinga, Shaka Zulu, Carthage, The Masai, The Kandake Queens, The Ashanti, etc.

I like your content, being African and all, I hope you share this to as many Africans(and other races) so that we all have more appreciation of Africans, improve on self confidence and have a clear distinct identity that makes us proud to stand out.

Masha Allah brother keep educating our brothers and sisters.

U can not supress the truth forever. God will restore his people back to their glory
