I do not label societies, tribes, or civilizations. The history of the world proves that war, subjugation, and slavery represented the growth of world populations. No government, regardless of color, race, language, cultural background, or religious preference is immune from defining themselves through brute force. I get that you champion the Black continents, but, it is impossible to whitewash the imperfections that represent the human race.

The Egyptians were not 'icemen'. Every civilization that possessed the ability to conquer and subjugate did so. I do not disagree with your analysis, but to think any part of the human race remained free of establishing territory, government, rights, and rituals, by force when necessary bares no valid history. Civilizations began with tribal leaders, then to kings, all using force. Thanks for your thoughts. Regards.
