We tend to think we are brave folk but that is just our brain making excuses - do you think a black fellow would have done a columbus or a vasco da gama? heading out to parts unknown not knowing of the edge of the world was actual and they would fall off? we only know about those two coz their stories were told, written or recorded. now how many africans do you think ventured beyond their comfort zone but never got their deeds recorded? pretty many i believe. how many say sailed to other continents and settled there or came back but their tales were never recorded and or kept? there are however several stories of africans handling their fears well - courage is not the absence of fear....(add your favourite phrase there). Perhaps you're right. I often ask myself: just as we read of the Arabs, Indians, Chinese, etc coming to our shores in days gone by for trade, do Indians for instance read of Africans from Africa who visited their shores on trade missions? Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

The guy who navigated Columbus' ship was black, Columbus just gave directives  I stopped bothering with such posts coz they obscure the truth. Just because Billy can ride a rollercoaster and find it pleasurable, doesn't mean that if I don't, then I'm living in fear. I have been on that rollercoaster, worst experience in my life, why would I put myself through that misery ever again?! Just coz Billy enjoys it?! Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.

No. but i think they are everyday reading about africans looking for medicare in their hospitals and Bachelor of Science Agriculture in their universities
