AH Challenge: The Negroid race the master race!

The challenge is to get Europe, or the United States with a POD no earlier then 1900 to view people of African descent as an important, and vital cultural force, and the most important contributor to society as a whole.

The title doesn't match the discription.

Being accepted as intelligent and important contributors to society doesn't make some group the Master Race. Nobody views the Jews are the Master Race do they?
 
"Master Race" and "Inferior Race" are nothing but ignorant subjective viewpoints. Science is proof.

Anyone could say they are the master race. In the case of Africans that they were the first group of people and the origin of mankind, therefore making them the Master Race.

But I don't believe in such things.

I don't see how you can get to this. In OTL has anyone ever viewed anyone other than themselves (racially speaking) as the master race?

I could understand if it was 'create a black African superpower whose people view themselves as the master race', but...

David bar Elias? ;)

Science is proof.
Speaking as a scientist: Bollocks. :p:rolleyes:
 
In OTL there was science to support a master race. Entire Empires had been built upon the belief that the "white" race was better because of what it did to society, and the influence it had on culture.

Science is well and good, but given enough time I can fake science. Did you know watching Nascar can increase your chances of heart disease by 61.7%? Give me enough time, and enough studies and I can prove it does.

What I am asking for is the dominate theory that white people are the best, to switch to blacks. The challenge here is making such a thing occur. I don't think anyone on this board can do.

But did anyone other than white people believe that in OTL, even at the height of the age of imperialism?

The only examples I can think of are the Japanese who went out of their way to emulate western culture, and ideals. Then you could throw in various middle class african movements to match western culture. As they had a stance in the community and saw the superiors as better.

However there was never a mass movement for such a thing.

That's what I mean. If you want us to create a situation with a black African dominance of the world in which black Africans think that they are the master race - analogously with Europeans in OTL during the C19 - then that's a different matter.

That is why I call it a challenge, no?
