Sorry you should have at least provided some evidence. Here he is about to chow down on some of his homies.Dracula may be a myth but its based on a real life cannibal in europe.Pretty much. African philosophy is apparent in every country I have been to in Africa. I didnt proclaim anyone to be perfect.I simply pointed out the fact that Africans/Blacks were successful long before the appearance of whites. So your assistance is not needed.Africa has one African philosophy? How much do you know about the hiring of witch doctors to settle scores, even in todays Tanzania and Kenya? The murder of Albinos for body parts in these ceremonies.
No body is perfect. Every society has its built in human ills. I think you over romanticize Africa a bit too much. And it has been told to me by Africans that there are still Families or clans in remote parts of Tanzania who occasionaly practice Cannibalism, mostly for ceremonial purposes but who really knows how deep it goes.
Only Europeans practiced cannibalism? did you forget about the islands of the south pacific? and they had quite a bit of contact with East Africa
Cannibalism in the African Congo 1: Trading in Human Cattle
Yes only europeans practiced cannibalism. This is where the legend of Dracula comes from. Cannibalism. Also like I said the NA's have remarked on how europeans reverted to cannibalism upon arrival here in the americas.
If you note in your link, all the authors are whites from the era where they were trying their best to paint Africans as savages.
Ok, thats a myth. I guess you never heard of Fiji. To say the very least.
And, you may be black and have been to African countries, but I will take the word of my Kenyan friends over yours when it comes to things about East Africa... your assistance not really needed
Who? If your talking about Vlad the Impaler, tales of his eating his dead enemies is folklore and has never been substantiated.

Wrong. In this image he is dining in the presence of his dead enemies, not eating them. I researched and found that this image is a woodcut done in Germany in 1499 and all the sources I found say the same thing: Vlad the Impaler dining amongst his dead enemies.
Below are four sources.
Vlad the Impaler - Wikipedia
The Real Dracula: Vlad the Impaler
The Real-Life Dracula Was Much Worse Than The Count Ever Was
The Impalings of Vlad the Impaler - Medievalists.net
It doesn't matter to me if the guy was a cannibal or not but I think we should stick with what we know. Vlad III was obviously crazier than a shithouse rat and if he did eat human flesh, it was because of that, not because cannibalism was a common practice among whites.
