Do white people LOVE black history so much, that they feel they need to steal it?

Question

Like Ancient prophets, Ancient Egypt, Discoveries, Inventions

almost anything the black man has done, whites steal and claim it as theirs

Don't believe me

just look at a history book,

Take a history book written in 1970's vs one written in 2008

Look at how Elijah McCoy all of a sudden is a lot lighter with white features.

This has been happening ever since Whites invaded africa

Answer 1

That makes NO sense.  How do whites "steal black history"?   What do we need 'black history' for when we have so much of our OWN history?

Here's some pictures of him and he looks like a black man to me.  Do you have any pictures of him when he was a young boy or a young man?  You don't?  Then how do you know how dark he was?

How have whites 'stolen history' of the ancient prophets (Elijah, Daniel, Elisha, Isaiah, Zechariah, et al?  How have whites stolen the black history (?) of ancient Egypt?  etc etc.  How have whites claimed the history of the prophets, Egypt etc are ours?  

Can you be more specific or are you just throwing a hissy fit?

Personally, my opinion is you've just made yourself look quite foolish ranting and raving.  Is this a common denominator in your life?

Answer 2

This is a horrible thing to say, but I feel I must play devil's advocate.  If

for hundreds of years the whites have been in control of the blacks, what does this say about blacks?   Blacks like yourself, who want to claim everything black produced, black invented, black is better...and then, that sneaky white man comes along and takes it for his own.  How could an entire race allow this to happen if they are far superior as you hint at?  If the black race is superior, then wouldn't the white race be in control by the blacks?  

I do not believe the above because I have enough intelligence to know that race does not even exist.  The science community does not even use the term anymore.  But think of what you are saying.  Logic would tell a person that if all the things you say are true, then maybe blacks are not intelligent enough to get ahead.  Maybe this is the true reason that young men and women who learn about how wonderful their culture is and how great their history is, who are constantly told that Black is beautiful, Black is better....maybe they cannot grasp why they are being "controlled" as you say if they are far superior to other races.

Black, white, yellow, red...one is not more superior than the other.  The sooner we small people understand that, and quit fighting with each other, the sooner we will see that all of us are being controlled by an entity that has no color because he is not a man...HE is the DEVIL.

Answer 3

Some things they did claim as their own, though not all of these things are about black people either. Ancient Egypt was multicultural at severa points in time, and Jesus, while not a black man, is not the white man he is normally depicted as. And yes, there are a lot of black influences in well known western culture. Just look at Picasso's art, which was inspired by African influence.

Answer 4

Cite your sources please. I'm sure you must have some to back up your claims right? We would all love to see them. Also, let's discuss this history you speak of at length.

Answer 5

whoa there that is so racist of you

if anything, racism towards blacks has subsided instead of becoming a more prominent feature in society.

Answer 6

NO one stole anything from Blacks..are you joking?

Ancient prophets? You are kidding!

The history of Egypt is rather long. The origins of the Egyptian people have been traced to the Pleistocene epoch, where groups of hunter gatherers in the lower Nile river valley coalesced. Later, around 3,500 b.c., the upper and lower Nile valley people merged into a single 'Egyptian' people with similar language and cultural markers.

Ancient Egypt as an empire lasted until the reign of Cleopatra VII, when in 31 b.c. Egypt was defeated in the battle of Actium by the Roman forces of Gaius Augustus Caesar. (Note: Cleopatra herself was a member of the Ptolomeic Dynasty. It's founder, PtoloemyI Soter, was a Macedonian (Greek) who governed the region after Alexander the Great's forces conquered the nation in early 3rd century b.c.)

Though the modern nation of Egypt has numerous ethnic populations, Egyptians as a people are believed to have changed little since the time of the Pleistocene, even with the numerous invasions and conquests.

And though Egyptians are Africans(in that the country is and always has been located on the African continent.), they have a distinct ethnic identity and are not, as you put it, black. (North African ethnic groups in general are not Black they are Arab. )

And I have no idea how to address the 'stealing' aspect of the question.
