You don't belong on the web you belong on some lame IRC channel that even the Feds don't bother monitoring beyond scanning for the words 'sniper' and 'bomb'. Let me save you some time. The world doesn't share your hate they just know you suck. You are a cold sore on the group you purport to represent. There are actually real issues you are too isolated to understand or influence because they come in greyscale, technicolor or God forbid 3D which only looks like flies buzzing around a white screen in your posterized bivalent black/white lunacy. Onto the news:
Three fossil skulls from Ethiopia have been revealed as the oldest human remains yet discovered.
The 160,000-year-old finds plug an important gap in the fossil record around the time our species first appeared and provides strong new evidence that Homo sapiens originated only in Africa.
"These are landmark finds in unravelling our origins," says Chris Stringer, at the Natural History Museum in London, and a champion of the 'Out of Africa' hypothesis. He believes modern humans evolved in Africa before migrating across the globe, rather than evolving in parallel in different places.
"The problem with the African record is that it has been really sketchy," says Tim White at the University of California, Berkeley, who led the team that made the discoveries. There are good human fossils from 100,000 years ago, he adds, but from then back to 300,000 years ago the remains are either highly fragmented, poorly dated or both.
In contrast, the newly revealed skulls have precise dates thanks to the fragments of volcanic rocks found with the fossils. When rocks cool, they begin to accumulate argon gas from the decay of a potassium isotope. Analysing the gas gives the rock's age, in this case 154,000 to 160,000 years old.

Actually, the point of the
post by IrishJay was that White people have advanced regardless of it's roots, where as Africa and it's "beautiful black kings and queens" have not.
If the White race originate from the Black race, what does that say? That the Black race has not advanced significantly for a very, very long time.
Personally, I couldn't care whether we originated in Iceland or on Mars, we are a unique people with a right to exist and have our own lands regardless.
