Then who are the “swarthy” people that Christopher Columbus and Benjamin Franklin were talking about when they so called discovered America? It damn sure wasn’t the Redskins or other $5 dollar ass Indians.

Speaking of, white people wasn’t over here before they so called discovered America.

If people want to consider Dominicans as black , why not Indians?

Got that poster on ignore.

I don't think most indians are black but I'm sure it a couple here or there with african/black ancestry

They do exist but they're very few black indians. We often focus on the transatlantic slave trade, but the arabs were running a much longer term opperation sending africans to the arabian peninsula, iran, Indonesia, and India.


I personally wasn't aware of it until I got a recommendation from one of John Henrik Clarke's old speeches from the 90s. In that speech he recommended a historian named j a Rogers. Rogers has a book titled "great men of color" that was published in 1946. There was a section in there devoted to the east African slaves that were sent to India. Some of them were freed and then mixed in with the hindu populations. But others like Malik Ambar killed their masters and then took over whole Indian kingdoms.



You don't get much blacker than ethiopia. I like to think that Ambar's achievements would have been the ideal situation for Dessaline in Haiti, if they had not been on an island. His story honestly needs to be a movie.


So presumably Ambar's descendants and the descendants of all the eastern slave trade victims are still in India. Personally , the only reason I would ever want to go to India is to visit this Breh's tomb. It looks awesome and it's still preserved because he ended up being a pretty good leader

I am just tripping off him making Indians Black, while making Black Americans Mulattos, and also while claiming he is Black American, while also saying his mother is Jamaican, and finally saying he is verified as Black American like his claimed Jamaican half does not exist. Oh, also did he not say we Black Americans are a continual embarrasment to Africans, like he is an African?

:why:

If it wasn’t for arranged marriages they wouldn’t even be able to pull their own women:pachaha:

Bro I’m brown skin Indian and I had enuff black and white girls after me.

When ya’ll think of Indians you all seem to think of recent immigrants.
Ya recent African immigrants can’t pick up easily either.

All answers are all based on perception!
