You already know what he means by "African". He is talking about the "raw Africans"...whatever the hell that is ...Lol
Philip Emeagwali was awarded the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers' Gordon Bell Prize in 1989, considered the Nobel Prize of computing,and he is one of the founding fathers of the internet as you know it.and he is "very" AFRICAN.
We do have African Natives with extraordinary skills in science and Technology.

You seem to be blinded by our humble life.even Chinese were down than Africans..,one day we will rise and all this nonsense will stop.
Sorry, but that just isn't good enough. You'll have to explain precisely what you mean by "native" and by "Africa".
I am willing to do that but only after you explain to me why out of all the words in my posts you need explanation of only three? What happened to the rest of the words in my posts?
I would not consider the people in the link you provided to posses extraordinary skills in science. I would have to lower my standards significantly to do so and that is something I am not planning on doing.
When were the Chinese beneath Africans? I don't recall such time unless you go back few thousand years.

So can you name any of the Afrikaners you happen to know who have won a Nobel prize (in Mathematics or Physics).
I just want to remind you that South Africa is a Rainbow Nation and also today, there are more native engineers working at DENEL than Afrikaners.
Watch your mouth next time.
Every award is debatable,being up there and able to gather the debate shows the significance.
To you a few thousands years seems like a billion years,just a reminder,fire was discovered in africa as well.
and there was a time Egypt was stronger than the US.if your intention is to devalue africans then go on,but my point was to show sparks of science in africans not the way you had it put,potraying africans as beings who cant innovate in any way.We are down now but this will not be forever.history shows that.
History shows you have been down forever. So if you are relying on history then you must agree with me. As far as fire is concerned, how did Whites survive in the cold climate of Europe prior to come into contact with Africans? I'm assuming they must have made fire at some point to stay warm. So I am not sure I can give you credit for inventing fire.
Patel,
You are obviously ignorant of world history and I am probably debasing myself by arguing with such a fool like you so stop spewing your nonsense about Africans. The first civilizations in the world started in Africa namely ancient Egypt and Nubia which date back to 3100bc,at this time, Europeans, and Chinese were living in caves, the first European civilization , that is Greece started just 1000BC while china around 1500BC or less and every scholar knows that the Greeks borrowed heavily from Egypt from mathematics, medicine etc to even writing ,do you know that 95% of the alphabets we use today and yes (even the ones used by Indians(i.e hindi) originates in ancient Egypt? if you dont believe me then Google and you will find out.
Have you read the works of the Greek scientist Aristotle or the Greek historian Herodotus? Do you know what Herodotus said about where greek aka european knowledge came from? They all confess that all Greek learning and even the gods originate in Africa and Herodotus (the father of European history) visited Egypt where he reported that ancient Egyptians were black people with wooly hair, modern and ancient Egyptians are not the same people just as white Americans are not the same as native Americans. Ancient Egyptian civilization collapsed around 700BC later to be taken over by Semitic people from the Middle East this is why there are few blacks in Egypt now.
Conclusion:
Do not blame us for your ignorance, just cultivate the habit of reading books, black Africans were building pyramids while the Chinese and whites were living in caves.
- Go to your local library and research the following.
1) Who wrote the oldest mathematical and medical text (still intact to this day)
2) Where is the oldest and still standing stone building in the world?
3) Who invented the alphabet and the calendar we use today?
Please provide the answer to these questions, tell me and we can continue educating you , otherwise, hide your tail and run!!
PS: Go and tell white South Africans that they are not Africans and come back to me and tell me their reply.
First, prove to me that the ancient Egyptians were raw Africans. Once you prove this to me then we can proceed with your questions. I can't answer questions that are based on the wrong (or at the very least unsubstantiated) premise.
the title of this thread is misleading. It should be "china stealing afrikaner technology" not "china stealing african technology". Africans have no technology to steal from. The military technology mentioned in the article is a work of afrikaners not africans. The only military technology africans have been able to come up with on their own is spear, bow/arrow and other rudimentary weapons. Certainly not missiles or any other sophisticated modern weapons. Such weapons require advanced knowledge of science and mathematics that africans do not posses. If you disagree then name few notable african mathematicians and scientists. You would be hard press to find one. For example there are no nobel prizes in scientific field ever awarded to an african.
