What's this meme about Africa never abandoning ritual murder ?
Josiah Gutierrez
Certain societies in West Africa along the Niger independently developed metallurgy; bronze weapons, busts, etc. But they got zerg-rushed by stone-age empires that lived to the north of them. And yes, it's possible to be a more technologically advanced people and get BTFO by a civ several generations behind on the tech curve, just look at how steppe peoples absolutely wrecked everything from Baghdad to Beijing. The metal-working societies never really recovered.
Human sacrifice is still one of the dark secrets of almost every pre-modern culture in history. Near easterners did it, Celts did it, Native Americans did it, etc. I'm not trying to justify it, but pretending ritual murder is something exclusive to or even noteworthy about pre-modern African cultures requires an active ignorance of the practice being done almost everywhere at some point.

/x/ tier secret societies still practice it. There was that Aussie in New Zealand making hurtcore pedo films of torture and rape for $10k a pop, or the Dutch banker who said once he got into the high echelon of money movement they asked him to sacrifice a child. I wonder what all the fuss is about?
>it's probably literally nothing, but outlandish tales are still fun

that's not a reasonable conclusion to make from this post at all.

What's this meme about Europe's religious wars not being a massive orgy of religious murder?
Joshua Ortiz
they still do it
Ian Reyes
Black people make others feel insecure for some reason, so people engage in weaponized language and fallacies against them. They find the most primitive jungle Africans, mind you no advanced civilizations have developed in a jungle, and hold those people up as the definition of black. If people hated south Americans or asians as much, they would go to thier primitive jungles and hold those people up as the definers of said people.

It's a war user, do you think Asian/American/African wars were a peaceful picnic?

It is widespread in modern Africa
Brayden Sullivan
Jack King
Not in the scale and intensity as in Africa where almost all Sub-Saharan countries have it and there are thousands of victims every year.
Chase Sanchez
Also honor killings and terrorist beheadings are a problem in the middle east
Jason Gray
So we continue to pretend that withey is the bad guy?
Robert Harris

Levi Powell
There's billions in Africa

Name a subsaharan African country without cannibalism or human sacrifice.

Meanwhile in Mauritania, claims about the abolition of slavery have never seemed entirely convincing; some light-skinned Moors still seek out slaves for their own use or for sale to Morocco. ... "Originally offered as human sacrifice to ensure success in war, these girls are the helpless victims of a traditional form of slavery in which they are known locally as 'fetish slaves'," the report said

Because they're black so we have to hold it against them and make it a defining aspect of blackness.

Before the Ethiopian government conquered the Yem, they were exclusively pagans and engaged in human sacrifice.
Brayden Cook
So in conclusion you are wrong
Ethiopia
Mali
Mauritania
All had or have human sacrifice.
I didn't search for Niger because it is confused by internet with Nigeria which has massive human sacrifice issue.

Slave=peasant it's no different than when a construction worker goes to Walmart to pick up Mexicans.
Weaponized linguistics, double speak, fluid definitions and loaded connotations all to desegregate black people. White people put a crazy amount of effort into the "blacks are weak sub-humans" narrative.
It's indicative of some kind of complex.
Brayden Rodriguez
The middle east still does its called honor killings
Mason Ross
so you are saying Europe>Middle East>Africa?

Abrahamic religions never engaged in cannibalism, and at least christianism stopped to be a violent sect centuries ago.
Parker Morris
Aztecs engaged in cannibalism infact the word originated from a Amerindian tribe name
