I always clown these hotep ass nikkas about claiming every early civilizations as black (which would mean descendants of blacks enslaved other blacks for 1500 years) but today I found out about Roman emperor Septimus Severus...born in Africa...better yet, I found a 2000 year old panting of him :dwillhuh: and he was a breh :jbhmm: is that why all the "marble" busts are always white when displayed at museums? To remove any trace of African ancestry? :jbhmm: discuss brehs...

The Severus dynasty.

The thing about busts, even though a lot of them were made with revisionist intentions, people back then often tried to portray everyone like themselves (because race wasn’t as much of a thing then) so you’ll see that Black people are portrayed with Eurocentric features, but the hair will be different or something.

You see how the hair doesn’t look like your average Roman? I believe that may be their way of drawing early racial distinctions.. because you see that same thing with historical figures who we know were not white (Hannibal comes to mind)

Matter fact ancient Europe was black..
:huhldup:

These busts were made way after the time of rule of the figures.

with this logic then egypt was also white because of the greek dynasty that ruled there.:comeon:

Fact of the matter is nobody knows anything about history because it is liable to distortion. Only way I will believe any historical thing is if I can travel back in time and view it for myself.
