i am not sure this statement is 100% accurateSwiffness!;561775 said:uhh.....CMR. And Janklow. lol
also, janklow is not catholic or from the Northeastmusicology1985;561814 said:Janklow is Black? for some reason I thought he was an Irish Catholic from the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic region.
yeah, i don't even get what that meansAnd Step;566494 said:Jank? No he is not a coon. But he is an inverted Uncle Tom.
Fazeem Blackall;565201 said:Did Africans invent the steam engine?
First Invented in Africa
In the library of Alexandria, where the ancient knowledge of the Black Eygptians had been gathered, preserved and relentlessly researched by the Ptolemic/Hellenic Empire of Asia Minor.
The very magic of the goddess and the god were inscribed in their own hand writings on sacred scrolls, which revealed the secrets of the ancient foundation of science, metaphysics, astronomy, technology and mathematics. This fact was acknowledged by the whole earth which sojourned on pilgrimage to the blessed lands of Egypt, Ethiopia and Punt to receive celestial knowledge and beneficience.
So it happened that in the first century A.D. an African/Hellene named Heron of Alexandria stumbled across the secrets of steam machines and several other devices recorded in those sacred scrolls of the ancient and magical Kemetians. Heron, like all the other so-called Greek discoverers (and similar later day “European” discoverers like Colombus) only “discovered” what was already there before him.
It must be noted at all times that Heron, came across the secret of steam engine in Kemetian books stored in the libraries of Alexandria, managed by ancient Kemetian priest-hood which had continued with lesser influence under the Ptolemaic hegemony
Digging through the scientific trove of the ancient Kemetians, Heron developed several devices that were operated by water, steam, or compressed air, including a fountain, a fire engine, and the steam engine.
Different dynasties and kingdoms thereafter sought to exploit the power of the steam engines to various ends. The Carthaginians, the Romans, and the Moors thereafter. The Moors in Europe famously constructed machines which appeared close to steam engines if the descriptions of the contemporaries of those periods were to be accepted.
From England, Scotland to Afro-America and Canada!
Through the ages, the steam engine was developed by various un-named al-chemists and scientists. It was significantly improved in 1711 by Englishman Thomas Newcomen (1663–1729), who created a machine that used steam to pump water.
Not long thereafter, the Scottish inventor James Watt (1736–1819) substantially improved on Newcomen’s model and patented (received exclusive rights to make, use, and sell) his own steam engine in 1769. Steam engines had previously depended on atmospheric pressure to push a piston (a sliding piece of metal moved by pressure) into a cylinder (a hollow tube) and create a vacuum by the cooling steam. Watt’s invention was the first to employ a separate device, called a condenser, which performed this function
The steam engine eventually became the basis of the locomotive engine which ran on rail roads. They had the potential to remake the global economy and society but it was hampered by the inherent problem with the steam engine designs of those days.
At that time, locomotives needed to be shut down periodically to be lubricated to avoid overheating. The frequent stops prevented railroads from being profitable until Elijah McCoy developed the “lubricating cup” for steam engines, which kept locomotives constantly lubricated, preventing frequent stops and overheating.
Elijah McCoy the Great Afro-Canadian Scientist
Elijah McCoy was an Afro-Canadian scientist and inventor. His parents escaped from slavery in Kentucky and travelled via “the Underground Railroad” to Canada. Mccoy was born in Colchester Ontario. He grew up a talented youth in Canada but yet faced racists discriminations which threatened to block the development of his mind. He was blocked from any meaning ful educational opportunity as there were national and regional policies in place to discourage African Canadians and African Americans in general from seeking any higher educational attainement.
So, Elijah Mccoy decided to travel out of Canada to other climes where there appeared to be more opportunities. At 15 years of age he traveled to Scotland seeking the educational opportunities from which Afro-Americans were excluded in the Americas, including then Canada.
Mccoy trained in mechanical engineering in Scotland and then moved to the United States. He was denied an engineering employment-again because he was of African descent. He instead had to take a job as a railroad fireman. In that humble position, he continued in his private time and with his own money, his true scientific calling which was the design and invention of numerous mechanical devices. He built many remarkable machines and inventions. Many of his inventions and innovations are incorporated into the fundamental design and structure of today’s automobile engines and machines.
Mccoy patented the lubricating cup in 1872. It represented the most profitable of his more than 58 patents, which included a folding ironing board and an automatic sprinkler. It revolutionized the steam engine and locomotive travel. Trains could now move continuously at high speed across the continents, delivering people and goods with an efficieny not yet matched by any other means of land travel. Mccoy’s invention was so valuable to the automotive industry that his name became a by-word. Until today, his name is daily invoked across America to associate authenticity and high standards to specific goods and services, by designating such as the “real Mccoy”.
So it goes, that the knowledge that began long ago in Ethiopia, trickled down through Thebes, Memphis, Alexandria, Byzantine, Moorish Spain, England, Scotland and finally African America, has come full circle. What goes around surely comes around.

And Step;564856 said:Sorry Black people were way involved in mathematics long before the ancient greeks. The pyramids were a mathematical formula. They used a sophisticated hydraulic system to even put the stones in place. And your stupid. You don't create electricity, you harness it or you generate it. Nobody has pinpointed its origin yet. Matter of fact, modern mathematics innovation can really be traced to the Arabs and to some degree the persians.
Modern medicine? What medicine? Most of your medicine comes from stealing treatments from indigenous people around the Earth. Cotton Mather stole the idea for inoculations from his slaves. Besides there is very little modern medicine. They don't heal anything. They just relieve symptoms.
The white man has shown the greatest achievements in this world. Unfortunately he has also shown the greatest savagery, debauchery, and evil. He needs balance. That is why the world he built is falling apart because he has knowledge, but it is not absolute. Couple that with the fact that he sees himself as separate from creation and has no respect for it, you have a sure recipe for demise. And you might want to ease up on the rape, slavery, and murder stuff . The number one offenders of all these acts, have been white men. It would take black men another 6000 years to catch up. And the spreading of AIDS was actually done by white people. Do some rudimentary research and you will see it's true.
helllnahhhhh;564759 said:A lot of people within this thread are gravely misinformed. You sound like you’ve been educated by a Spike Lee movie and some ra-tarded Black Panther novel. Did one guy say black people created electricity because an ancient battery was found in some sand? Did someone actually say that? ROFL
It’s a little sad that in your desperation to make the existence of your insignificant race seem worthwhile you steal and take credit for things which your people couldn‘t invent today never mind hundreds of years ago, and whilst you do it you have the nerve to say white people stole those things from you! Built the pyramids? Invented electricity, mathematics? At least you have a sense of humour. The greatest achievements in this world belong to the white man, landing on the moon, the creation of electricity, mathematics, science, modern medicine, the list goes on and on and on.
And whilst you struggle to pick out random acts of fuckery committed by white people you forget about your own race and the “sick shit” that continues to happen everyday in countries invested with black people, eg, gang rape, mutilation, murder, enslavement, spreading of aids, etc.
Here’s a tip. Instead of spending your time reading websites created by other equally emotional angry black teenagers who wouldn’t know a spoon from a fork to fill your head with inconceivable truths you should make an effort to stop making posts that continue to make your race look weak. Oh! And stop acting as if YOU were enslaved, it’s pathetic.
ether-i-am;561866 said:I would rather see the love of humanity over power the love of ones race, instead of visa-versa. But I highly doubt I'll ever see either.
dpresidential;565830 said:I agree with you on Loving Humanity more than just loving your race. At the end of the day...we are all human. If more people adopted the "love humanity", it could be a trend that could change this world.
There are those who say, "Why love others if they hate you?" Well...because respect and love has to start somewhere and since I'm not a hateful person, might as well start with me. I really don't care if many of them hate me, I show respect and love when I feel it is right. Period.
And Step;566435 said:See to me that is not love. Love to me is duty. I don't see it as an emotional feeling. If you love someone there is a duty attached to it. I would have to question that persons love for another person if they watch them destroy themselves.
I was taught correction was an honor. If I correct you regardless to how I feel about you personally, that is a form a love. There are people who I may not like personally, but I love them nonetheless because they helped me to become better.
I do agree that love and hate are basically the same just projected in opposite directions.
TheCATthatdidntDIE;566977 said:@heeeeelllnaaah. the black race aint insiginificant. jesus dude, how are you going to get black people to quit hating on you if youre a racist asshole? the word cracker applies to you because you wish you could crack those whips again no? here i was haveing a decent discussion and learning and you had to respond to racism with racism. now nobody gives a shit and will bash the hell out of you instead of pointing out that that was a racist ignorant comment when you said insignificant race. what the heck are you doing in a hip hop forum if yous a white supremicist?
helllnahhhhh;567289 said:I was trolling like most of you, throwing the same ignorance propelled at whites on this site, back. With the exception of the inflammatory words thrown in to make some of you upset ("Invested","Insignificant", etc) a lot of what i said is how whites feel.
Let me add. You live in this country and whilst I hesitate to divide the nation and act as if some of you aren’t Americans, be real, this is a white country, a white country that has a black leader. In black communities there are blacks purposely hired over every other race to appease you. Do you know how insane that actually is? Do any of you understand the significance of it? How many white leaders are there in African countries?
In return for all the unjustified handouts and help we give you all we get is a race that would sooner see us extinct than come together. You spend your time complaining, just constantly complaining not realising how good you’ve actually got it. What’s it like for a white man living in a African country?
What makes it worse is that the vast, vast majority of you have zero reason to be mad, none. You act like you were enslaved, you weren’t and aren't. You act like the white people of today are responsible, we're not. At the moment you have a portion of our race that are idiotically guilty over crimes that were committed hundreds of years ago. They’ll probably continue to throw you bones until they run out of patients.
Personally I’m past caring whether black people will ever unite with whites, I doubt it. In this country, blacks hating whites means little to me, it doesn’t affect us, It would however affect you if the majority of our race began to share the same principles and ideals as what I see some of you hold.
