  I don't see why it's neccessary to put them down.  It is not the putting of them down, it is merely the speaking of the truth:) Calling Black African history prior to European and Arabic contact rich history is a bit of a stretch......Honestly now, they were living in mud huts in the jungle and running around naked, living an uncivilized, hunter-gatherer lifestyle. In fact, in deepest darkest Africa, they still are living that way at this very moment. That is not hatred, that is just truth. Truth which we are not to speak of or acknowledge, lest we be called a big, bad, racist, white supremacist, meanie-head. Sometimes the truth hurts, but that does not make it any less t r u e.    The truth is called hate by those who hate the truth. :) Don't blame me, blame reality.
