Description

After studying world cultures, religions and history, people tend to not speak about the Dark Ages. Yes, this was an embarrassing time for the white race because Caucasians couldn't get their act together. Documentation proves that Europeans were barbaric in nature and practiced savagery, which can be seen in today's European people. Many people think that if the Africans wouldn't have saved Europeans from their own self-inflicted diseases, then the world would definitely be a better place today because these people cause so much destruction. I think that most people would genuinly agree, but if you think otherwise then you're welcome to accept this challenge.

Disclaimer: Before the racists start labelling me as being racist, just know that reverse racism won't work on me and I'll wear the shoe as long as the shoe fits. I'm here to create dialogue more so than to win debates because the demographics are not in my favor. With that being said, Good Luck.

It's 100 percent true that African Moors saved the European race during the Dark Ages. First and foremost, the Moors were Black so trying to go the Arab route won't work, and I have plenty of documented evidence to back up all claims. With that being said, let's continue.

The Dark Ages is a topic that most Western educational institutes tend to gloss over because it exposes that lack of ingenuity, lack of education and lack of common sense that the European race didn't possess. This is why Western/American history is basically laughed at by people in non-Western societies because the curriculums aren't truthful. Yes, the Dark Ages was basically a time when Europeans were dying of their own self-inflicted diseases, which happens to be some of the deadliest plagues of all-time. 

My role in this debate is to expose to truth that if African Moors never intervened, then the majority of the white population wouldn't be around today. I think that my first argument speaks volumes in which I probably won't have to get to technical with this topic.

The ball's in your court.

Prove the claim that Black Moors somehow saved Europe from the Dark Ages. Just saying "It's 100% true" is not proof.

First things first, Black-African civilizations were around thousands of years before any European civilization. It's reported that Greeks were the first civilized Europeans, and the Africans from the Nile Valley were the ones who civilized Greece. The culture was then passed on from Greeks to the Romans, which was the start of the infamous Dark Ages.

We all know that the Dark Ages was a time of disease infestation. The diseases included were typhoid fever, measles, cholera, leprosy, chicken pox, the Black Plague and many more. Lack of diet and poor hygiene was the root of many issues. Europeans also kept their livestock in their houses, including sheep, cows and small horses. The African Moors brought in medicines to heal the sick. These Africans utilized herbs that were indigenous to Africa to create serums and salves. The Moors were against keeping livestock in homes in which they passed on this tradition to Europeans. https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Heres-How-Black-Muslims-Lifted-Europe-out-of-the-Dark-Ages-20170409-0026.html

The Dark Ages lasted for nearly a thousand years so trying to make a case that Europeans could've saved themselves is quite foolish. If they could've saved themselves then the Dark Ages wouldn't have lasted for this amount of time. If you've ever visited Europe, then you've probably wondered about all of those African status that are present. Yes, those statues represent the Moors aka the Blackamoors. The Moors occupied areas in Spain, Portugal as well as Greece, which is why many of these people are darker in complexion to the average white person. 

There was No scientific or cultural progressive that came from Europe before Africans stepped in and that speaks volumes.
