>”the current fad of 'Europeans are all racists and didn't appreciate a Black civilization', which is of course wrong."
The leaders of European nations fed and feed their populations large amount of misinformation about who they are and who people outside their borders were. If a monarch was made in the image of and chosen by god, how could the greatest structures in human history not be in Europe? The solution was to whitewash as much as possible.
You see this in the restoration of art for the last few centuries, many brown/black pieces turned white all of sudden. Some claim this was unintentional, but if we look at how Africans have been treated for the past 500± years, that claim seems suspicious and sounds more like ass-covering when the fraud was revealed.
I expect this exposing of fraud to ramp up as automated translation allows us to compare notes between the great civilizations of human history in the near future.
