Only Africa gets treated like it's one country
Also, Egypt had wheels, fuckin worthless nerd.

You ought not to judge a book by its cover. This video talks about that, and its main thrust is making the case not to dehumanize or push white supremacist views of African societies as being technologically or intellectually inferior because of a practical difference in how they transported goods. He is anticolonial and opposed to the racist mindset here
Wait, are you saying a racist might be ignorant about history or anthropology?
is he a known racist? i kinda assumed just from this screenshot but otherwise i dont know who this is.
I am guessing the guy in the screenshot might not be, but the title about how Africa didn't have the wheel until colonization made me think whoever made the video is a racist.
Its a bad title but he does specify in the video that hes talking about subsaharan africa
He also talks about how the lack of adoption of the wheel is not out of some technological inferiority but simply because they had other more useful forms of transport instead of wheeled carts that are more suited to the local environment
"Why did Africa not have wheels"?

endoplasmatic reticulum?
Damn near killed 'em!
