@@user-lq7qj8ue1x West Africans also played a huge roll in the downfall of the entire African continent, West Africans captured and sold many of Khoekhoe clans from South of the Cuanza River in Anglo to the Portuguese, hence many Brazilians look very "coloured" hate using that term, same happened with Mozambique (Musa bin Baiq). Before modern Europeans, came to conquer and rape Africa, the Khoekhoe clans traded, with Dravidian, Malay, Arab and Chinese traders, who settled and married, hence the rise of the Ottentottu clan, who stretched from northern Kenya to the southern tip of Africa. We have archeological and oral evidence of this. With the socalled bantu expansion, many Khoekhoe and Ottentottu clans have either been decimated or left at the brink of extinction. The San/Ottentottu are a minority in their own lands, a once proud nation reduced to the fascination of anthropologist and abuse by occupiers and settlers.

I know a school teacher said his life was glorious. Which is partially true until he became broke in a foreign land.

@@atrain9610 Facts! Go study there was no Mali Empire before the Umayyad Caliphate conquered and converted all North Africa to Islam in 7th Century AD. There was no Mali Empire when all the Islamic World entered in decline in the 15th Century. Defeated by Portuguese and Spanish in the West. Defeated by Turkish-Ottoman in the East. Mali still tried to fight Portuguese around 1441 in the Coasts of Mali. But in 1470 Portuguese were settling in Elmina, Ghana allying with local tribes that used to be Mali's vassals. Mansa Musa's Empire was very brief and in everything influenced by the Umayyad Caliphate, Fatimids, Almoravids, Almohads, Nasrids, etc that controlled all Arabia, Mesopotamia, Levante, North Africa and Iberian Peninsula. "The empire was founded by Sundiata Keita (c. 1214 - c. 1255) and became renowned for the wealth of its rulers, especially Mansa Musa (Musa Keita). At its peak, Mali was the largest empire in West Africa, widely influencing the culture of the region through the spread of its language, laws and customs." All of those were Arabic and Muslim! And by the way this happens after Portugal was born in 1143 and defeated the last Muslim Sultan in Algarve (South Portugal) in 1249. 106 years after! "Following the death of Sundiata Keita in c. 1255, the kings of Mali were referred to by the title mansa. In c. 1285 Sakoura, a former royal court slave, became emperor and was one of Mali's most powerful rulers, greatly expanding the empire's territory. He made a pilgrimage to Mecca during the reign of Mamluk Sultan An-Nasir Muhammad (r. 1298-1308), but died on his voyage home. Mansa Musa took the throne in c. 1312. He made a famous pilgrimage to Mecca from 1324 to 1326, where his generous gifts and his expenditure of gold caused significant inflation in Egypt. Maghan I succeeded him as mansa in 1337, but was deposed by his uncle Suleyman in 1341. It was during Suleyman's 19-year reign that Ibn Battuta visited Mali. Suleyman's death marked the end of Mali's Golden Age and the beginning of a slow decline."

Moral of the story.. Black folks Stop showboatin 😂

Don't you feel that things don't add up? a less powerful king mistreating a more powerful king that is known for his great military power. Billions of dollars spent in one city like if Mena was a fool, to the point that he didn't have money to make the trip back. Bandits attacking an army of at least 20000, on a route that is traveled by thousands every year during Haj without any such attacks being recorded in history to anyone else.

well what do you see

That was the major problem with African empires. They adopted Abrahamic religions and assumed the people they interacted with saw them as brethren, the same thing happened with the Songhai empire when invaded by Morocco they didnt see the threat and didnt adopt guns and measures. Also in Morocco when the ruler was told he was allowed to enslave even black Muslims despite this being forbidden in your religion. Lesson don't assume just because one follows your religion they see you as an equal. In fact in many modern Islamic countries in the Middle East they treat maids from Africa like slaves even if they're Muslim.

You're conflating multiple issues in an attempt to demonize and Muslims. Prejudice exists among Muslims just like it exists among all people. There are African ethnic groups who are prejudiced against other African ethnic groups. In fact, some of them have waged brutal wars against each other. You are also assuming African Muslims are stupid. They are well aware of the bias some Arab Muslims may have. But, here's a surprise: Not all Arab Muslims are racist against Black people. In fact... most of them are not racist. You're taking the actions of a few wealthy Arabs today, and trying to correlate it to what happened to Mansa Musa 600 years ago. Empires rise and empires fall. That's the nature of empires. But Islam was not a "problem" for the West African empires as you postulate. Islam, in most cases, was actually the reason for their existence.

I don't think there is any significant evidence that Songhai was invaded for racial reasons. Furthermore, there was a revolt in Morroco and one of the reasons was because they invaded the Songhai Empire. In Morroco, a lot of the people saw the invasion of Timbuktu as a sign of the end of times.
