Then please explain why the earliest depictions of Native Americans look like this:
And this is without me citing the fact that the first human fossils found in the Americas (Luzia woman) are "negroid". Now that's not my word, that's what the scientists that found the fossil call it. You also have the fact that first civilizations in the Americas were "negroid" (see the Olmecs). And we also have the written accounts of the first European explorers which describe the Natives of this continent as black.
Keep trying to run away from the fact that we've been lied to our entire lives.
your whole argument is predicated on not trusting what white people say happened in history and yet, you keep posting a picture drawn by white people as proof.
With Men you can tell by the feet. If you can actually see the person toes, They prolly African. American Black folk never leave the house without socks on. Even in some slides we'll have socks on.
That is soooo damn true. Rarely see brehs with sandals/flip flops on without socks. It's pretty much never with older AA men and the only time you see the feet of younger black men is athlete-type cats like football players wearing flip-flops in between practices on two-a-days.

I don't trust what white people say NOW. White people in the past did not have the same incentive to lie that cacs do now. Look no further than Ancient Egypt. All the whites in the past used to say it was a black civilization. It was only recently that whites have tried to whitewash it.
We can't trust what cacs say now but the original source documents can be trusted when they corroborate other pieces of evidence. There is tons of other evidence that show there was a large black presence in the Americas before Columbus. That picture isn't the only proof. Its simply another piece of evidence that corroborates what we know.
I agree for the most part but here's my problem with this bolded statement:
Why do americans often refer to blacks living in Europe as "africans" even tho a lot of these blacks living in France and UK and other places may have been rooted there for over a century? At what point do they become "French" or "British" to you just like you are "American"?
I'm just asking because I often heard this in a few conversations ive had where any black person from those countries are referred to as african just because they have an african name?
I think Americans do this because you can't really tell the story of the U.S.A. without the contributions of AA's. The first blacks arrived 150+ years before the Revolutionary War and many blacks fought on both sides of the war.
To have an equivalent for Afro-Europeans, it would be like David Oyelowo, Idris Elba or Chiwetel Ejifor having ancestors that fought with the Saxons during the Viking raids against the sons of Ragnar. A good chunk of domestic (not factoring in exploration and trade) European history can be told without non-POC involvement. America is much younger.
I posted a simple test in the first page. Simple challenge. . I posted pictures of 14 women that i know and dared them to tell which which ones are african and which are american. Only one person dared to even respond. Most danced around or ignored the post all together. THe only person who answered because i put him on the spot and he was wrong getting only one of the africans correctly
Makes sense considering many west coast AA's have family that came from Texas/Louisiana/Arkansas. Same way a bunch of people in Chicago have roots in Mississippi, folks Ohio/Indiana etc have kin in Alabama and lots of NYC/Philly brehs can trace their family to the Carolinas and Georgia.
This goes to all of you who claim you can accurately tell who's from where or even who's american and whos not. Now i've gone to my facebook account and found random women i personally know and have deep knowledge of their family backgrounds. Some of them i'm related to. I wanna see you find me who's from where. These arent glamour shots . I found random pics of them in mosly everyday type outfits and makeup but i've made sure to throw some curve balls in there. They vary in age anywhere from 24 all the way to upper 50s.
You find me who's from where.
I hate violating peoples privaciy by posting their pics online but im also tired of you geniuses always saying this shyt. Let's hear it, genius.
