What causes so much brainwashing of internet addicted white kids? My significant other partner is a high school teacher and the lil' chuddies (always white or Hispanic boys) say sh*t like>ALBERT EINSTEIN WAS NOT ACTUALLY A GENIUS! His mistresses did all the math! [Rumble told me so]which is expected, since in the current climate antisemitism dominantes online discourse so knowing that the biggest genius of the 20th century is Jewish is likely to trigger the poisoned minds of these teenagers.But then also, they even claim>MANSA MUSA WAS NOT THE RICHEST MAN AT ALL! All "Subsaharan Africans" had Stone Age technology. [Look at this video from a 30k sub channel on YouTube]I hoped that these anti-African "all Black people are from sub-Sahara and all Black people had no civilization" mythis would lose grip thanks to AskHisorians doing Good's work (for the Greater Good).Is this because of anti-intellectualism that dominates schools nowadays or just racism and antisemitism? Or do we no longer teach kids why e=mc^2 was such a life changing discovery because kids hate math and physics?I thought maybe AI is doing this, but Google AI debunked both of these hateclaims in incognito.

>>18523022>hateclaims Lol
>>18523022these claims are not comparable.Planck, Lorenz, and Heisenberg, all of purely Aryan blood, considered Einstein a genius par excellence and a companion.
>>18523022Pol Pot did nothing wrong
See we are not /pol/ schizophrenics and retards but we are not brainwashed cattle either shlomo
>>18523771This. /his/ recognizes the greatness of Jews but we still want to look cool by being racist.
>>18523022>>MANSA MUSA WAS NOT THE RICHEST MAN AT ALL! All "Subsaharan Africans" had Stone Age technology. [Look at this video from a 30k sub channel on YouTube]This is true though, and it's the exaggerated pop history around Mansa Musa and Mali that is ridiculous if anything.
>>18524025> All "Subsaharan Africans" had Stone Age technologyThis is fake and gay though, and the video in question is also pop-history.
>>18524160Stone tools were never phased out, but the vast majority of them were grinding and crushing implements, which were used in a variety of places that few extend that critique to. The most egregious use of them was as pointed weapons(spears + arrows) alongside iron, which *seems* to have been a culturally induced affair based on what I've seen from a few different archeologival sites (it's not universal at all).
>>18524164Some groups barely used primitive tools at all, granted, I recall these guys were importing all their iron from their neighbors.
>>18524173A better example would be at Oursi Hu-Beero. Ignoring grinding stones and pestles, they only found only 2 quartz flakes, 1 quartz pestle, one worked stone of unknown purpose, and 2 completely untouched stones which weren't used for anything. This contrasts with what's at least 11 iron tools (maybe as many as 18; they found 7 shards from iron blades that I recall being separated by one room or more).
>>18524181> 1 quartz pestle*1 quartz scraper
>>18524164>>18524173>>18524181Based, proof that West African empires were vibrant and full of interesting bustling settlements.

>>18523022people find out exaggerated pop history is a misrepresentation so they knee-jerk swing to the extreme opposite position
>>18523022The case against the genius of Einstein is very different from the case of Musa.Einstein's intelligence may be overestimated in pop culture, but any reasonable person with common sense needs to acknowledge his contributions to different fields of physics.The myth of Mansa Musa has been spread for ideological reasons, as OP put it:>I hoped that these anti-African "all Black people are from sub-Sahara and all Black people had no civilization" mythis would lose grip thanks to AskHisorians doing Good's work (for the Greater Good).So, the reason why people believe it is not evidence but political aims.If we allow ourselves to look at the facts and solely on the facts, the idea that Mansa Musa was the richest person of all time or something similar lacks significance.The source material is poor and, as is typical for the medieval period, mixes provable history with hearsay and legends. There was a popular genre of semi-fictional tales about foreign countries. Since no one had the possibility to verify the assertions made, the writer could essentially claim whatever he wanted.In case you need further examples:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prester_John&oldid=1358119272Check out Marco Polo's fantastical describtion about far AsiaI would put my money on the idea that the story of Mansa Musa was exaggerated and that the actual facts were much more modest if you forced me to make a wager. However, this bet could not be won, since we lack the source to prove any version.
>>18523424Anon, this dude tries to explain actual history using analogies to the video game Civilization. Does this give the impression of a serious inquiry to you?I mean, the core argument is sound. The historical sources are poor, and the circumstances suggest an exaggeration for the sake of a more fantastical story.If the same source claims that a single guy caused inflation in Cairo and describes the unbelievable wealth of a king from a kingdom for which we have very few witnesses, we have good reason to doubt it, even without raceism or anti-wokeness.>>18524025One problem is that the Eurocentric history taught in schools seldom covers the history of Africa. Because of this background, you can basically claim whatever you want, and an educated person would lack the knowledge to contradict you.Of course, I see the reason. History classes doesn't had the time to actually teach world history, so they focus on events importat to the current political system, like the "American Revolution" and so on.>>18524164Please, more about this!>>18524236>people find out exaggerated pop history is a misrepresentation so they knee-jerk swing to the extreme opposite position

>>18524288>based Black-friendly scholar correcting the recordWhat is "Black-friendly" aboout:> A King, happend to be black itself, enslaved his people to become incredible rich?
>>18524302I'm pretty sure that guy's being facetious. Also:> enslaved his peopleYou do know that most slaves during his time POW's and criminals, right?
>>18524309> most slaves during his time POW's and criminals, right?*most slaves in his time were POW's and criminals
>>18523022I saw that video about Managed Musa. His main claim is that the only contemporary source that spoke a out Musa as the king of an opulent kingdom that went to a pilgrimage to Mecca with a hundred camels ladened with gold is a chronicle that also said that there was a magic stone in Syria that could cure people that looked at it. I'll leave you to interpret the Mansa Musa story.
>>18524401> said that there was a magic stone in Syria that could cure people that looked at itThis is a dumb criticism, it was not irregular for otherwise accurate historians to attest to magic at this time.
