In addition to being the origin of humankind, Africa’s accomplishments attracted the world to you.  There is a reason you were chosen.  Your achievements were the envy of all those who explored your land.  Your skill and intellect far exceeded that of other lands.  Africans were the first to organize fishing expeditions, the first to engage in mining (West African gold mining took place on a vast scale), pioneered basic arithmetic, mummified their dead, carved the world’s first colossal sculpture (great Sphinx), had the first planned city, had toilets and sewerage systems, West Africa had walled towns and cities in the pre-colonial period; and, West Africa had a bling culture (gold, gold, gold) in 1067 AD.  From the earliest cities to books, buildings, monuments and much more, you were envied.  Stealing you also ensured the theft of your intellectual property that would surely bring gain to your masters.  Slave traders would not risk their own lives for weak, stupid and lazy people because plantation owners would not buy them.  Their greatest fear was that you would one day discover what they already knew – You are awesome!
