Quick History Lesson:
The severity of the Bantu Expansion
(🧵)
Also known as the Bantu conquest of Africa - 2,000 Years of Bantu supremacy, racism, conquest, genocide, rape, war, cannibalism and colonisation.
The southward bantu occupation of sub Saharan Africa (south of the Sahara), started some 2,000 years ago with the introduction of crop farming and Iron Age technology from Nubia, which made weaponry, conquest and supremacy possible.
The new crop farming from Egypt increased the population and necessitated an enlargement of territory, which led to the expansion of the Bantu African tribes from the Great Lakes in central Africa, to the colonisation of South Africa.
This was one of the largest human conquests in history! A linguistically related group of 60 million people originating in the west and Equatorial Africa, gradually expanded their empire down the continent into South Africa and South east Africa killing all tribes in its path.
If it was not for the arrival of European colonists in Cape Town, South Africa, the Khoisan people would be extinct today, because of the greed and expansionist mind of the Bantus.
Also when the Portuguese started buying slaves from Africa the Bantu Expansion was given a new boost. This inspired the Bantu to conquer more areas to capture more slaves and expand further spreading their genes through anyway they could.
Evidence of the existence of previous African races and tribes can be found in present day DNA records of today's Bantu people. Just show how much Rape and slavery was common practice among the Bantus.
I questioned myself many times while researching this. Why are there no written records or major buildings or any large establishment / cultures ? Could it be that the entire sub- continent was a war zone and has been left depleted and destroyed?
How many cultures, nations, and people were destroyed in this genocidal conquest?
Also the Bantu expansion is not over as we know it, there are still many groups such as the Pygmies who face extinction because of their “bantu overlords” Research this yourself to witness what’s going on.
