No black person should be reading books written by Niall Ferguson.
I will be surprised if you have an intelligent and/or rational reason for making this statement. U saw a clip of him on Facebook or somewhere and made your conclusions ??
Genuinely one of the most uninformed posts I can remember ever seeing on here
Many of the worlds most prosperous cities during the medieval period (from about the 5th to 16th century) were in Africa. empires such as the Benin empire in west Africa had textile and agricultural industries second to none. From the 15th to 17th centaury Portugal had actually placed a banned on all imported soaps and textiles from west African because they had begun to severely undermine their own domestic industries.
Captain Richard Francis Burton of the English East India Company described the cities of ilfe and Benin as comparable to Rome in their design and sophistication (he's son was one of the primary individuals involved in the burning down of the city of benin in 1897 (I think that's the right year)).
Bro I could go on. hundreds of years of written accounts from European explorers and diplomats going to Africa marvelling at the sophistication of our metal work, arts and crafts, methods of government (that were tribal based), cities, domestication of animals... bro I could go on.
The only ways in which the civilisations of European were more advanced than those of Africa were in warfare - namely guns, cannons and war ships (navel fleets).
this book:
Is a fine introduction into African history. I spent 2 years corroborating the claims of the book (fact checking and reading referenced sources) and using it as a base for wider reading.
The stuff in your last post is poison, that is not supported by any credited anthropologist or an ounce of historical evidence.

Kanye West wasn't lying.
Such inferior mindset to have.
As for Badmans opinion, great empires rise and fall.
It's not down to intelligence but rather greed, power and timing. I'm certain it was division that caused downfalls to empires

As for black people being less intelligent by default
What stupid question to ask
You just need to do your research and see how many things were invented by black people.(That’s just one many examples of black intelligence)

The British Empire was more good than bad, especially for *some parts of East Aff. I read stuff by every ‘race’ because I am not childish...
