Do you think Greeks were originally mostly black?

[AlainLocke]

Through trade? No, Greeks were going down to Africa to learn science and math, they credited them for being the fathers of civilization, the sciences etc everything.

If there wasn't major population movements then how would Aryan Greeks would have even known that Egypt had all this knowledge? Or to even go down there and learn in the first place. Wouldn't it have made more sense to travel to their European neighbors?

The Mediterranean people communicated with each other...They didn't close each other off

Definately not. Yall crazy if you think there was massive population movement in the past. Greece maybe was influenced by African culture through trade and whatever but they are not the same people.

Common sense answer.

Interesting article. The mediterranean cultures heavily traded and exchanged knowledge with each other. The Greeks liked the way Ethiopians(what they called black people and in my opinion modern day ethiopians and Sudanese are the decendents of ancient Egypt) looked.

Common sense answer.

Not even, if there wasn't massive migration movements then that makes zero sense explaining the historical fact that we all migrated out of Africa

I'm Greek and my dad had an Afro when he was younger lol I'll try and find a pic

Since I was younger I've never been confused for as being any other European besides a Jew (because of my nose) or an Italian because my complexion. Ive mostly had people try and speak Spanish to me or ask if I'm Arab or if I'm Native American.

I swear, some nikkuhs would try to convince you that the original vikings were black back in the day

Do you wanna be black or something OP???

Like, how did this cross your mind?

Greeks came from Asia Minor...there were massive waves of new people coming into Greece, establishing different cultural paradigms but they all came from Asia minor...like the Mycenaean civilization

There was definitely some interactions and even a little mixing between Greeks and African. But wholesale amalgamation? NO.

I'm white, though. And of course people would question that because we all migrated out of Africa, so somewhere along the line the original settlers of every country, continent etc were at some point African

 

[How Sway?]

I've seen some very brown greeks but yeah I dont think they were black

Although I wouldn't be shocked if some body from Crete were to take a dna test they may found some african blood

But how did Aryan-Greeks even come to become Aryan in the first place if we all migrated out of Africa? The only sense that makes is the theory of "mutation" that created the white race.

There's plenty of Greeks who don't even consider themselves white, I do because that's how I've been raised. Greek immigrants assimilated into white supremacy but they were originally not considered white

I'm not saying I'm black, I consider myself white but ancestry wise and DNA wise Greeks have more in common with traits most common in Africans (Benin-sickle cell and Vitamin D deficiancy, which I am both) Than any other Europeans or group, that's what influenced me to learn about this and question the theory of Greeks were even originally Aryan.
