Timbuktu

For all those who still believe that Blacks are less adept than Whites just look at Timbuktu. Founded in the AD 900s, Timbuktu became a scholarly powerhouse that specialized in producing manuscripts that were used by Europeans and Arabs alike. It was not until the Portugal enslaved people in the Songhai Empire that Timbuktu began a decline. Yet even during the slave trade Timbuktu remained a heavily scholarly city which continued to produce manuscripts until the final blow was set when Moroccan mercenaries took over the city. So in short, no race is any better than any other.
