Stolen from Africa...

... brought to America.

But not only him.

It's art, it's cience and music, life style, commodities... And also millions of strong women and african men that about 500 years ago (not that far is it?) were taken away from their mama's arms. But not only were they brought to America but Spain, France, Germany, United Kingdom, and all that is known today as the African diaspora.

In the mean while back in Africa they were left to the mercy of God many other africans trying to survive the evils of colonization.

Well, nowdays we can see the results and consequences of the European arrival and it seems to me that they didn't do their jobs well. Or they did...?

What was the real meaning of that intrusion...?

We have been told for ages that 'civilizing those uncivilized peoples' were their main reasons. While at the same time 'sharing' profits and goods in order to supply both african and european needs. But, how could they really care about african needs when we see the results today?

Anyway that was the message they sent to their citizens. And that is the message that has settle in our minds for ages even today. To civilize the uncivilized people...

Now that we see the results and know a lot more about how things were really done down there my question is: who had to learn more about civilization?
