I don't know. Mali was a Muslim empire but I'm not sure how much power the Arabs and Persian had in Mali compared to the Blacks. I guess it is a contender. Maybe the woman should ask if the Blacks ever think about Mali. 

 niggers know nothing about their history which is why they steal other people's 
LOL 

 THo in fairness i know about mali incidently cuz it was in decline in the age of exploration which is a time period i love. 

 It was an interesting era.
