Where does the idea that Africans “never invented the wheel” or “had no written language” come from?
>>
>>18479764
it comes from the fact that they never invented the wheel and had no written language... you are confused because you incorrectly believe north africans were blacks, they were white until they race mixed themselves into brown arabs

The wheel was never used south of the Sahara except for Nubia and a few isolated cases like Dahomey and Kongo where it was introduced by modern Europeans and only employed for ritual purposes like wheeled funeral biers or wheeled idols. There was virtually no practical use of wheels for transport, milling, pottery-making or spinning (although I think the Swahilis used potters wheels), in contrast to Europe and Asia where every society made widespread use of wheels for practical purposes, even when they weren't used for vehicles.

Large parts of sub-Saharan Africa did have written language of course, in most cases Muslims using Arab script but also Ethiopians with their own script or coastal Africans like the Kongos or Malagasy adopting European scripts during the early modern period.

North Africans are African hombre. No need to project your vira-lata racial complexes onto others because you feel insecure about it.

Only retards use such a restrictive definition and plenty of Bantu states had organized states and civilisations and hierarchies.
>Nilotics are black but they had actual civilizations.
Again that point totally ignores all of Africa to push a faulty narrative.

The wheel was mostly absent + writing was largely limited to muslim and esoteric circles, the latter of whom intentionally gatekept their tech.

I cannot name a single Nilote civilization.

wh*toids need to keep spewing the narrative that Africans are dumb savages who have never invented anything or had a society to not only feel better about their own worthlessness but to justify raping Africa.
