Yeah, I was arguing the part where you said that the Whites are the one who gave the gift of literacy to Subsaharan Africans. As part of the Islamization of the region, Arabic script is also introduced, so no. Though perhaps, literacy with Arabic script is not as widespread as under European colonialization, merely saying that they are not literate until the Europeans rule their countries is not true.
Point though, is that they were not able to ever create it on their own.
I don't like the moral end of these ideas more than anyone else, but why deny for a pleasant lie?
