And Indians can be thanked for introducing the earliest form of Karate to China I believe or another Asian country

We all share ancestry. It's not a far out statement that several of these history accounts are related: Asian / African.Those who publish choose their focus/words differently: one says African, another says Asian.
A good documentary from PBS: "Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey". Also, a link to an article from Spencer Wells that goes with this documentary:

Just by the title, you attracted every black person on this forum

Sorry...9

The jews you're speaking of came from North Africa and were dark ( as written in herioglyphics in Egypt ) the land Israel was Canaan ( which is also African ) Thousands of years of mixing and climate changes things.. That being said Dr. W.E.B. DuBois (1868-1963), perhaps the greatest scholar in American history, in his book, The n.e.gro (first published in 1915), placed Sakanouye Tamuramaro within a list of some of the most distinguished Black rulers and warriors in antiquity. In 1922, Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950) and Charles Harris Wesley (1891-?) in a chapter called "Africans in History with Others," in their book The n.e.gro in Our History, quoted Chamberlain on Tamuramaro verbatim. In the November 1940 issue of the n.e.gro History Bulletin (founded by Dr. Woodson), artist and illustrator Lois Maillou Jones (1905-1998) contributed a brief article entitled "Sakanou. ye Tamura Maro." In the article Jones pointed out that

Your argument is with great scholars us Japanese know what is covered up by westerns, also you might want to know the reason why Black Belt is the highest rank in martial arts ( it reflects the first Samurai's ) n Japanese culture, kuro (black) is a symbol of nobility, age, and experience..

Anyway, just a bit of truth for you..

Interesting...

Again, not really finding any evidence to back up your claim regarding the origins of the black belt. The two reasons I'm finding is 1) A martial artist began with a white belt and as they trained it got dirtier and dirtier until it became black, and 2) When they started using colored belts for ranking they would progressively dye the belts rather than use different belts because Japan was struggling economically. Since they had to keep re-dying the belts they needed to use progressively darker colors until they ultimately became black.

And no offense, but your sources seem to be a little out dated. They're all from 50+ years ago and had very strong pro-African agendas (not that that's a bad thing). Don't you think there could have at least been a little bit of a bias in their work?

The link you provided was very interesting.

For the same reasons why Europeans were thrown in jails & looked down upon by the Romans ( divide & conquer ) When a nationality is robbed of there culture, language & history and is forced to build a country alone & than free after only 60 years ago they grow up under harsh conditions and become apart of a cycle. Its inspiring to see them rising out of this system as the years go by in such a short amount of time so to speak.

Look at what there youth is faced with and if they rise out of it they all break the cycle like naruto lol.

Dude. Seriously...+rep

no such thing as black people white people or yellow people where all just shades of brown!

Agreed!

Because I never knew that

ROFL!
