A poem for Black History Month

[The Alchemist]

This is a poem I wrote for black history month when I was 14 and I'd like share it with you guys here on NB. Give me some feed back and tell me what you think.

Our Ancestor's Cries

In a hidden time and grand lands unseen
Majestic palaces housed mighty kings and lovely ebony queens
A powerful people of a lost age; men of renown and warriors of old
Deep inside we harbor rage for those flaming spirit's who now wax cold
A race of great pride royal panthers of long ago
Black diamonds under the sun whose glory we no longer show
Though we continue to grieve we're hard hearted and don't pay heed
To the echoes of past wise men who no longer breathe
Beseeching us from their graves as they witness their descendants enslaved
To the ways of their oppressors who reeked havoc and shortened their days
Watching in horror as we lay our crowns at the oppressor's feet
Turning over in their graves as the fruit of their loins welcome defeat
For too many centuries these cold spirit's have bereaved
knowing their culture's destroyed and their children are deceived
Unable to perceive how these withered leaves
That have fallen from their family tree can believe that they are free
Seeing their children walk the dirt road of life without shoes
Ankles and wrist bruised from the shackles and chains the oppressors use
Not only to bind the flesh but to bind the mind and soul also in lonely solitude
Nobility and Pride have fallen by the way side
So bloodstained tears cloud their spiritual eyes
Watching in despair at our culture's demise
These are the echoes of our ancestor's cries.

Don't you think this is over exaggeration? There's nothing glorious about blacks, useless, half naked barbarians who didn't even have an Alphabet and didn't know agriculture and how to use water to grow crops, lived off killing animals and gathering crap from the ground, they didn't even know simple counting when most of the world had long known all these techniques by then and even now.
Culture? the words culture and Africans don't cross lol.
BTW Europeans weren't the only ones who enslaved your race. Persians, Arabs, Jews, Ancient Egyptians, Babylonians and more all did use blacks as slaves, so you can go blame them too!
The black month BS should be cancelled and removed from schools, it's poisoning the White kids with BS and lies.
And African/Americans who can't stand living in US should get sent back to Africa to civilize their ancestors there and build their own countries using their cultural superiority lol.

Uhhh.... you do realize Egypt is in North Africa and the people were black right? And those guys built the pyramids.
The first muti cultural school of knowledge that scholars artist, etc; went to from thousands of miles around was in Africa.
Ethiopia was once the center for knowledge and commerce and King Menelik was respected by all.
In a village in Africa there are a people whose ancestors came up with the concept of zero (which not even the mathematic geniuses of the Arab nations had done) and they also had myths and legends about a binary twin star to that of Sirius thousands of years before it was discovered by scientist with telescopes.
And Africans were the first to cultivate grains like rice.
And don't forget about Timbuktu which was the grandest trade route in it's day.
here are some pictures of African archaeological sites :

This is the temple of Hapshetsu one of the few female pharoahs of Egypt. BTW Egypt is in Africa and Egyptians of that age were darker and still retained their African high cheek bones (as seen in the bust of Queen Nefertiti) though nowadays they are primarily Arab looking because they invaded those lands during the spread of Islam and "water down" (for lack of a better term) their strong African features.

This is a from a site in Ethiopia. The architecture is of the finest quality and guess what... it was built by Africans. The same buildings were featured in the magazine Ancient wonders of the world. They were barbarians alright...
I could go on but I think everyone here see's my point. And btw I never said whites were the only one's who enslaved Africans, that's why I said oppressors, not white oppressors. I'm a student of history, archaeology, and I'm taking up linguistics so I think you're out of your league on this one, LOL!

Ancient Egyptians were not black, they were Asiatic/White people with soft facial features and normal lips, all those blacks in these drawings were slaves to the Egyptians not Egyptians themselves lol. Go ask any Egyptian now he will tell ya that Egyptians were not black in anyway!

I'm not bashing African people I'm just being factual, if blacks were Egyptians then how come they had never duplicated the Egyptian Cities and Pyramids or built another civilization similar to the Egyptian one in other part of Africa, to show that Africans are capable of that? those pictures you have were built by Egyptians as outposts to traffic the materials and resources including African slaves to work in Egypt.
Also the DNA proves that King Tuts was of European ancestry not African And other Egyptian Pharoahs were from nordic/European origins.

Were there white people in Egypt who ruled? Of course Ptolemy, Alexander the Great, etc; but that was long after the pyramids were built, long after the customs (which the Greeks and Romans copied as far as some of their deities went). You say that culture and black people don't go together, well you're simply showing your ignorance to everyone, LOL! I see you didn't dare go near king Menelik the son of Beersheeba and supposedly Solomon, nor did you say anything about the schools of learning or Timbuktu or anything else I said.
African history is built upon Egypt, but Egypt is indeed a part of it. If white men had ruled for thousands of years in Egypt how come they didn't know about it til the late 18th century? Wouldn't that be some info that had great significance to European history?
Why did they have to invade Egypt as well as many other African lands if they ruled for so long? There aren't any ancient myths of white men entering Africa like there are in Native American cultures. It's funny how some white people just want to claim up the whole world as if they were the ancient wise rulers but history speaks of the contrary, maybe that's what it is, simple jealousy and envy...
At either rate stay off of this thread or get reported for your racist trash talk again and this time I'll make sure you get banned.
