If sub-Saharans were, as a whole, compatible with any form of civilization higher than "tribal hunter-gatherer", they'd have advanced beyond the Stone Age at some point during the several thousand years that literally every other large group of humans on Earth began to develop metalworking, large-scale agriculture, large scale construction projects, cities, plumbing, intercontinental trade, ocean-going vessels, and all the other things that come together to form complex societies. According to the current Out-of-Africa theory of human expansion, they even had a several-millennia long head start before nomadic humans on every other continent settled down and started building civilizations. If human equality were a real thing, sub-Saharan Africa would have had at least one or two civilizations as advanced as the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and East Asia around 1000-1500AD. Instead they can't even match Egypt or Greece circa 3000 years ago. Sub-Saharan Africa's backwardness cannot be a result of colonization and oppression because it was already thousands of years behind the rest of the world before Arab and later European "colonizers" ever set foot there.
I read an article a few months ago. Neanderthals were supposed to be good in science and math...homosapiens were better in social skills. They intermarried and bred. The article was referring to Asians and Europeans from a long time ago. Africans are homosapiens without the Neanderthal DNA. That is why a lot of times you hear different health exceptions for Africans, like sickle-cell anemia, and kidney function GFR. (It is right on my blood test results, if you are not African, this is the reference #; if you are African, then this is your reference #). I am not trying to be racist, and you can look this up in your own. Point being, Neanderthals are viewed as lower down the evolution scale than homosapiens but apparently they had some good genes that mixed in with some homosapiens who lived outside Africa and maybe that is why Asians/Caucasions developed/excelled in certain areas. Also, dont ignore the effect of climate on civilization. Temperate climate zones is where the advancement occurred because too hot or too cold is not conducive to things other than survival.
Here is what turned up immediately. I had been taught this as a child:
"...Lincoln appeared to be asking the once-oppressed to volunteer to remove themselves from the place where they had been oppressed, so their oppressors could breathe more freely. “He believed,” adds Hannah-Jones, “that free black people were a ‘troublesome presence’ incompatible with a democracy intended only for white people.”..."
I’d totally support giving reparations in the form of $100k and a one way ticket back to where their ancestors originated from. Catch is, they get the money when they and and revoke citizenship to the US. There’s no one that would take the deal.
Maybe. It could have been resolved by repatriation.
That was already attempted. See also the entire nation of Liberia.
You say "attempted", but unless they were all forced onto the boat, I say it was never really attempted.
Also, I would prefer to NOT see the country of Liberia. It is a shit hole.
It's an idea!
This actually fits pretty well with the propaganda that white people only succeeded by enslaving Africans.
"OK so what we gonna do now. Ummm let's just enslave some of these Africans and go from there."
80 years later
"OK, there has to be something we're missing."

Lincoln said flat out that africans were not compatible with American civilization.

If colonization is so bad explain Hong kong?

Oddly, I can't readily find his own words, is if they are being scrubbed.
