If you will remember, Brazil had a Portugese incursion and Venezuela, Spanish.
Are you saying that without the influence of the evil white man, that the various African tribes would have evolved to the present state of Brazil and Venezuela? Of course black people have the same capabilities, but they are not going to develop these capabilities without someone teaching them, or are you saying it will occur by osmosis?
