Is this a specimen of today's education? Maybe I SHOULD go back into teaching!
I don't know where you got your facts from, but Mali flourished during the Middle Ages, when most Europeans were content to sit at home and fight one another, or fight to free the Christian shrines in what is now Israel, or get rich by trying to corner the trade market with China!

I am not sure about the Mali empire but the Monomotapa empire was set up by Portuguese.A clear indication is the structure of the name of that empire i.e. Mono was 'bastardization' of mwenye which in some Portuguese dialect meaning 'Sir'.One may even look at the name they give to their leader which is Mambo.Mambo is a Spanish word according to wikipedia.

Its not just black people any one who wants to be taken seriousely as a historian accepts that both empires were black empire its historical fact.

We dont live in the days in which ignorant racist historians try and claim black civlizations any more all of the empires you named were black African empires not european
However I do take one thing from your question racist interpations of history are still widely main stream among ametur historians.
