Ive become increasingly aware of a seemingly conscious effort to keep Black Africans out of history (Usually Black African history is shown in a negative light). When it comes to Movies, Textbooks, and (recently from my observation) video games we are continually left out it seems. (not saying we are completely absent)

The reason I bring this up is because, taking a break from all my hard work this semester I wanted to drown in nothingness all summer by indulging in video games. I took a look at Age of Empires and I noticed that just about every civilization was present in at least one of the series expect Black African Empires. Maybe I missed something but it just seemed to flow very nicely with my recent observations, alluding to the validity of my claim.

Question:
Do any of you guys (mostly Black Africans) believe that there is a conscious effort to denigrate and downplay Black African culture and civilization and its contributions in today's society? Or Am I just extremely gifted in paranoia?

My Opinion:
I believe in the past it was definitely a conscious effort but today I think its been reinforced so many times that it has become second nature. I honestly believe people know more about space than they do about Africa...Let alone Black Africa...I wish i were joking
