Good day fellow steemians…..
Please permit me to shed some light on the issue of superiority conflicts repeatedly occurring between white and black colored people today. It is known fact that irrespective of control measures being taken, the superiority conflicts happening between these two races will never end, though it may reduce.
There is this common notion that white skinned people are more intelligent than their black counterparts, some will even go as far as saying the white skinned man is second to God and I begin to wonder if the people nursing these thoughts know what they are doing. The most painful part of the situation is that some blacks even see themselves as being inferior to the white man. But I tried thinking critically and checking to know what might have brought about this odd comparison, I discovered that the main cause is the fact that almost every technological advancement in the modern world has been credited to white colored men. We’ve been made to believe that almost all the advancements in technology came to us through white colored men such as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, etc.
But in the real sense, according to historical facts, technological advancements actually started from Egypt and Mesopotamia, though today, the fact seems true that the technological advancements in modern day came through white colored men.
Egypt is African and Africa means black skin colour, so if history says earliest advancements in technology came from Egypt, then I guess black skinned people were ahead and not behind the white men like we are made to believe. Some people will even say Egyptians were not blacks, but UNESCO told us otherwise. If you doubt it, you can check http://www.lisapoyakama.org/en/the-ancient-egyptians-were-black/ . To buttress my point, I want to draw your attention to a very old product of technological marvel, the great pyramid of Giza. Egyptian pharaohs have been known to cherish these pyramids from time immemorial.

After you get to know some few facts about this marvelous free standing structure designed and constructed by blacks, you may want to have a second thought about that notion of white men being superior to their black counterparts. So if such a massive structure could have being built by blacks back then, we should begin to wonder how advanced technology and engineering was then.
Ancient civilization started from Egypt and Mesopotamia and this civilization produced the greatest advances in technology and engineering, advancements that helped other societies develop new ways of living and governance. The Egyptians invented the ramp to aid construction processes. The Egyptians were the most vast in making paper and monuments. They also made significant advancements in medicine, mathematics and astronomy. This leads me to the main deal of the day:
THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA.
This marvelous and ridiculous free standing structure is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and also the only wonder that is still in existence and intact, while every other wonders have cease to exist.
The great pyramid of Giza as it's popularly called is the oldest and largest among the three pyramids in the Giza pyramids complex. The pyramid was built during the reign of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, hence the pyramid's other name; pyramid of Khufu.

The great pyramid of Giza was the tallest man made structure in the world for over 3,800years with a height of 146.5metres. The pyramid was mainly made of casing stones from the outside. The pyramid has three chambers inside it; the king's chamber, queen's chamber and the grand gallery.
The construction of the pyramid took 20years. But in recent times, as a result of weather action such as wind and erosion effects, the height of the pyramid has decreased from 146.5metres to 138.8metres. If you compare the size of this structure to the precision and accuracy of its construction, you will realize the awesomeness of this structure. The accuracy of the pyramid's workmanship is such that the four sides of the base have an average error of just 58millimetres in length, which is too precise for a structure that massive.
If Egyptians are Africans and Africans are black skinned and they can be so precise and accurate with such a big structure, then why nurse the idea that white skinned people are superior to black skinned ones?
To further commend the strength and stability of this great wonder, in AD 1303, a massive earthquake attacked the pyramid, but the structure still stands intact. I now asked myself, how many structures of modern technology can withstand the effects of an earthquake? The only effect the earthquake had on the pyramid was loosening some of its outer casings stones. These loosened casing stones were subsequently moved away to be use to build mosques and fortresses in the city of Cairo. To mention but a few points about this marvelous and ridiculous structure, it is known fact that the construction technique of this great massive structure still allows for much skepticism to modern builders.

I believe you should be asking yourself that question now as an African, if my forefathers could have pulled this kind of stunt, I'm I truly inferior to a white skinned man? Is a white skinned man really second to God?
Well, my fellow steemians, this is all a product of my own imagination as an African and as a black skinned man.
So as a black skinned man or woman, you should ask yourself that question;
Is a white skinned man superior to me because I am black?
To me, I believe so much in my root, Africa is everything, Africa is the hope of the world, black is original and black is beautiful.
I'm so proud to be an African; I'm proud because I'm made of black.
Thank you for your audience fellow steemians.
