This is...? INTERESTING....
African empires is an umbrella term used in African studies to refer to a number of pre-colonial African kingdoms in Africa with multinational structures incorporating various populations and polities into a single entity, usually through conquest.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Listed below are known African empires and their respective capital cities.
A colonial empire is a collective of territories (often called colonies), either contiguous with the imperial center or located overseas, settled by the population of a certain state and governed by that state.
Before the expansion of early modern European powers, other empires had conquered and colonized territories, such as the Romans in Iberia, or the Chinese in what is now southern China. Modern colonial empires first emerged with a race of exploration between the then most advanced European maritime powers, Portugal and Spain, during the 15th century.[1] The initial impulse behind these dispersed maritime empires and those that followed was trade, driven by the new ideas and the capitalism that grew out of the European Renaissance. Agreements were also made to divide the world up between them in 1479, 1493, and 1494. European imperialism was born out of competition between European Christians and Ottoman Muslims, the latter of which rose up quickly in the 14th century and forced the Spanish and Portuguese to seek new trade routes to India, and to a lesser extent, China.
Although colonies existed in classical antiquity, especially amongst the Phoenicians and the Ancient Greeks who settled many islands and coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, these colonies were politically independent from the city-states they originated from, and thus did not constitute a colonial empire.[2] This paradigm shifted by the time of the Ptolemaic Empire, the Seleucid Empire, and the Roman Empire.

This is why Black-Americans KNEW the Anti-Asian Attacks of 2021 WERE STAGED
Darkie-Darlie Toothpaste....
Taiwan's racist toothpaste to change name in 2022
Darlie toothpaste to change Chinese name from 'Black People' to 'Haolai'
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The makers of the controversial toothpaste brand Darlie, which is widely sold across Taiwan and many other Asian countries, announced on Tuesday (Dec. 14) that it will be changing its Chinese name, which many over the years have accused of being racist.
On Tuesday, Hawley & Hazel, which has had operations in Taiwan since 1949, announced that it will be changing the Chinese name of its flagship toothpaste brand Darlie from "Black People Toothpaste" (黑人牙膏) to "Haolai" (好來), the company's Chinese name in March 2022. The company stated it was aligning the toothpaste name with its corporate name to "reflect the company's purpose and values" and to echo the company's slogan that "Good Things Come with a Smile."
The company stated that it has created a five-year plan to reach its goal of 100% recyclable packaging for all of its products. It also pledged that it will build on its long-term support for oral health education programs in local communities.
The toothpaste brand was first launched in Shanghai in the 1930s when it first used the Chinese name "Black People Toothpaste" and the English brand name "Darkie." It also used a grinning mascot in a top hat and tuxedo modeled after the American minstrel performer, Al Jolson, infamous for his blackface portrayals.
After Colgate-Palmolive acquired a 50% stake in Hawley & Hazel, controversy began to arise in the U.S. over the use of the name"Darkie" as it is a racist epithet used in Western countries to discriminate against black people. In response to the public outcry, the company issued an apology and changed the English name from "Darkie" to "Darlie" in 1989, and the skin tone of the mascot was changed from black to white, but the Chinese name has remained to the present day.
Amid the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 after the killing of George Floyd, the firm's joint venture partner Colgate-Palmolive announced that it would work with its partner to "review and further evolve all aspects of the brand, including the brand name," reported HKFP. Major U.S. brands that had been criticized for having racial undertones, such as Aunt Jemima, Cream of Wheat, and Uncle Ben's, were phased out or modified that year, while the NFL team, the Washington Redskins, temporarily changed its name to the Washington Football Team pending a new, permanent name.
There has thus far been no similar announcement of the changing of the name Whitemen toothpaste (白人牙膏) by its Taiwanese maker.

In 1985, after Colgate-Palmolive acquired 50% of Hawley & Hazel, great controversy erupted over the brand in the United States, to which Colgate-Palmolive CEO Ruben Mark responded by issuing an apology and replacing the English name of the toothpaste to "Darlie" in 1989, and altering the image on the packaging to show a racially ambiguous face in a top hat to avoid racial misunderstanding.[3] However, the Chinese name of the brand, "黑人牙膏" (in English, "Black Person Toothpaste"), remains the same and a Chinese-language advertising campaign reassured customers that "Black Person Toothpaste is still Black Person Toothpaste".[4]
After the entry of Colgate-Palmolive, the brand continued to be sold in several Asian countries, including Taiwan, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand where its brand and logo were not considered offensive. Colgate-Palmolive announced the brand would not be sold outside of Asia.[5]
The brand experienced an increase of both popularity and notoriety in 2004,[citation needed] after the toothpaste, along with other allegedly racist brands, was featured in the mockumentary C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America. It was depicted as a fictional brand that is popular in the alternative history of the film; the final credits reveal that it, along with most of the other brands, is a genuine product.[6]
On June 19, 2020, Colgate-Palmolive announced it will work with Hawley & Hazel to "review and further evolve all aspects" of the Darlie brand, including the brand name.[7] At the time of the announcement, the Chinese name of Darlie still continues to be "黑人牙膏" (in English, "Black Person Toothpaste"). The announcement followed similar announcements made by PepsiCo/Quaker Oats (Aunt Jemima) and Mars, Incorporated (Uncle Ben's) for their respective brands. In November 2020, the blackface imagery of the brand remained unchanged.[8] On December 14, 2021, Hawley & Hazel announced the Chinese name of the brand will rename as "好來" ("Haolai") from March 2022.[9][10][11]
The original flavor of Darlie was mint. Other flavors are available for children.[12]
As of 1989, the toothpaste held a 75% market share in Taiwan, 50% in Singapore, 30% in Malaysia and Hong Kong and 20% in Thailand.[13] Nowadays it is one of the bestselling toothpaste brands in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, with market shares ranging from 10 to 30 percent.[14]
