So Grillz originated with the Romans and Mayans, dread locks originated with Indian Hindus

[Starbucks]

Here is an article about it. I also read some other articles. The dates are a little different but in the below article, it shows as far back as 2500bc that locks were used in the Vedas. Which is Hinduism scriptures. Egyptians also wore them. So it is kind of hard to tell where it started started. Here is an article from ebony magazine
https://www.ebony.com/style/history-dreadlocks/

Yup the Vedas are the oldest scriptures but it is true Egyptians we're the second group of people to wear after the Hindu Indians

But at the same time at this point in 2500bc what is called Hinduism was the only religion on the planet practiced in the whole earth. Its just other nations like African nations, European nations got conquered and invaded by Christianity and Islam where as the Indians were able to defeat them and kept Hinduism alive in India unlike the Africans, Europeans, South Americans


However within Hindu scripture it promises and states the whole world will practice Hinduism again when an incarnation of God returns back to earth destroys all evil and wicked people and restores Hinduism back on the entire earth and restores Godly laws and way of life such as banning on cow eating, dread lock wearing, marijuana smoking for meditation, worship of Krishna only, destruction of any other religion besides Hinduism, yoga practice, ban on alcohol and gambling

What are you talking about? India was conquered several times. Also, a lot of the conversion of Africans to Islam and Christianity wasn't done by force. In fact, I'm going to say most of the conversions probably weren't by force. Africans generally chose to take on those religions for various reasons.

Also, being the first to write about something in scriptures =/= being the first to actually do it. What don't you understand about that? Unless, you have information that draws a clear connection showing that Africans started wearing locks because of influence from Indians, you need to stop pushing that bullshit talking point.

India defeated the conquerers defeated the British Christians and Turk Muslims keeping Hinduism alive in India while Christian Europeans and Arab Muslims enslaved Africans the Christian Americans, Brits, Spanish, Portuguese for 300 years and Arab Muslims for 1400 years, forced Africans to convert by the sword, castration was involved in Arab Muslim slavery on Africans where the Arab Muslim slave masters chopped of the African slaves penis, African women were sex slaves for the Arab Muslim slave masters, they stole and extorted gold and diamonds from the Africans, destroyed and wiped out the original African paganism religion and African pagan temples

What are you talking about? Muslims ruled most of India for hundreds of years. Hinduism isn't alive because Indians beat back all invaders. That's not even close to true. Hinduism is alive because the Muslims had no interest in stamping it out, the same way they didn't stamp out Christianity when they controlled Europe.

The Indians also didn't beat the British. It's true they had enough movements going on to make the occupation of India unpleasant for the British, but it's not like India went to war against Britain an won. The British largely just game to believe that holding onto India was more trouble than it worth, especially with all the work they had to do rebuilding their own nation after WWII.

At this point, you're just making up shit.

India didnt even get their independence till the 1940s

Indians originated dread locks
Again black Africans migrated to India with the look, your ancestors came later and took it on

Indians originated weed smoking
South Americans were on that as well as ancient Kemetic tombs having traces of it.

Romans and Mayans originated Grillz
Romans invented the Ceaser hair cut style

Greeks invented Nike shoes and clothing
Nike apparels was created in Oregon, the goddess Nike is Greek

Germany invented cars like Mercedes
France invented liquor like Hennessey
Germany invented Adidas shoes and clothing
France invented designer clothes like Luis Vuitton, Balmain, Monclair
Italy invented designer clothes like Versace and Gucci
White Americans invented Basketball, American Football


Hip hop borrows a lot from other cultures

U have no history knowledge at all no offence but u are retarded when it comes to the historical facts I stated. Lmao @ Muslims ever ruling Europe never once did they rule Europe every time they attempted to invade a European country they got defeated ASAP. Only Spain and Sicily they ruled for a period then they got defeated and kicked out when the Christians in Spain and Sicily took back control and kicked them out

Islam only conquered, enslaved and ruled most the Middle East and most of the continent of Africa. Never have invading Muslims ruled the whole of India just small parts until. Hindu Kings and armies chopped them up and sent their heads chopped off bac to Arabia

711 to 1492: When Black Africans ruled Europe​

711 to 1492: When Moors ruled Spain - BlakkPepper

The Moors introduced paper to Europe and Arabic numerals, which replaced the clumsy Roman system. The Moorish rulers lived in sumptuous palaces, while the monarchs of Germany, France, and England dwelt in big barns.

www.blakkpepper.com

Education was universal in Moorish Spain, available to all, while in Christian Europe ninety-nine percent of the population were illiterate, and even kings could neither read nor write. At that time, Europe had only two universities, the Moors had seventeen great universities! These were located in Almeria, Cordova, Granada, Juen, Malaga, Seville, and Toledo.

The Moorish rulers lived in sumptuous palaces, while the monarchs of Germany, France, and England dwelt in big barns, with no windows and no chimneys, and with only a hole in the roof for the exit of smoke​

The Moorish advances in mathematics, astronomy, art, and agriculture helped propel Europe out of the Dark Ages and into the Renaissance.”
THE REST OF EUROPE
– An African king named Gormund ruled Ireland during the Anglo-Saxon period in England reports the medieval historian Geoffrey of Monmouth.

​

– Halfdan the Black was the first Africoid king to unite Norway.– When the British Isles were invaded by the Vikings some of these Norse raiders were Africoid. In fact, different varieties of ‘Viking’ Africans lived in Scandinavia during the middle ages and are frequently mentioned in Viking sagas.
– There were Black Huns! The dictionary describes the Huns as “a fierce barbaric race of Asiatic nomads who led by Attila, ravaged Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D.” The Gothic writer Jordannes described their infamous leader, Attila the Hun as having “a flat nose and swarthy complexion.” He describes the types of Huns he had seen as “of dark complexion, almost black… broad shoulder, flat noses and small eyes.”
– The African Moors dominated southwest Europe during the Middle Ages for 700 years: 711-1492 A.D. African Moors ruling southwest Europe centuries, darkened whites in this area, especially Portugal, which was “the first example of a Negrito (African) republic in Europe.


99% percent of these whites were illiterate but we say that they invented whatever???

The Greeks did not carry culture and learning to Egypt, but found it already there, and wisely settled in that country, in order to absorb as much as possible of its culture.​

lol @ you telling me I have no historical knowledge then saying a bunch of patently false shit. It's true, that I should have said Muslims ruled parts of Europe. Most people on here probably understood what I meant, but I'll give you that I wasn't clear in that case. However, even in the case where you sort of corrected me, you're still wrong. Most of Eastern Europe was controlled at some point by Muslims, so no, it wasn't just Spain and Sicily. And no, Muslims didn't just control small parts of India. They represented a relatively small part of the population, but the sultanates covered major portions of India. Just look at what the Dehli Sultanate controlled for one era.

That doesn't look like a small part of India to me, and the fact that Indians and Europeans eventually beat back the Muslims doesn't change the fact that they were conquered. Again, Muslims ruled for 70+ years under that one dynasty alone. There were three other major Muslim groups that ruled in India at some point. Hell, even up to the 1900s, Muslim influence was strong enough that the British were afraid that when they left, there would be a civil war between the Hindus and Muslims.

Black culture is traditional African garments, African paganism/polytheism/spirituality, African languages such as Swahili, tribal culture as Africa is based on tribes, African cuisine such as jellof rice, traditional African dances, playing drums


Hip hop isn't as important not even 1% as the things I stated

The Gish gallop is a technique used during debating that focuses on overwhelming an opponent with as many arguments as possible, without regard for accuracy or strength of the arguments. The term was coined by Eugenie Scott and named after the creationist Duane Gish, who used the technique frequently against proponents of evolution.

During a Gish gallop, a debater confronts an opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths, and misrepresentations in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate.
