Romans were the original colonizers.

[Will Ross]

It’s not hidden at all.

 

[H.I.M.]

Rome was nothing more than a spinoff of the Greco-Macedonian empire....which was a spinoff of the Babylonian/Kushyte empires that proceeded them 1000's of years earlier. The concept of Rome and Greece, conquering and assimilating the world into one single culture came from the Sumerian empires in Mesopotamia.

 

[Dave24]

Yeah look up the Gracchi bros


They said “hey stop treating minorities like shyt and assimilate them so we don’t have to keep going broke putting down their rebellions”

Pleb Romans said “ naw we still want Roman supremacy over other people” and they voted for patricians and killed the brothers

Patricians violently HATED plebs
Cincinnati is named after a Roman patrician dictator who HATED working class people and G. Washington wanted to be like him so bad

Any good books you reccomend on ancient rome?

This shyt sounds just like the European colonization of Africa.

They did a good job keeping this history out of the mainstream.

Africans were already civilized. Barbarians were the unorganized European tribes

 

[Grand Conde]

I have to wonder wtf they teach in American history books.

 

[yung Herbie Hancock]

You were taught that white folks saw other white folks as intellectually inferior and barbaric?

I had to find that out on my own... young boy was out here thinking they were all united and shyt in school. The picture they paint for us is really far from reality

Yes. Maybe you didn't pay attention in class? Slavs got their name from the word "slave". Romans also called the French, Germans, and British "barbarians". Did you really never learn about how "the Roman empire fell because of barbarians" in school? If not then you either went to a trash school or you slept in class.

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Romans were crucifying people as sport.

 

[Majestyx]

Yep this is taught in school though not really hidden

and even in the spartacus tv show. romans were shytting om all the other cacs

 

[Crayola Coyote]

I always wondered what the Romans reactions were when they ran into dark skin Africans

It's only when you leave America do you realize "whites" don't REALLY fck with each other like that.


England and France spent multiple centuries each others throats.

The Romans wiped out the native Celtic tribes.

The Anglo- Saxons and the Royal Family went so hard on Ireland they depopulated that sh!t.

That's where the racism based on "IQ/Culture/Genetics" started. They labelled the Irish as an entirely different race and have been running with this bullsh!t before America was stolen from the indigenous.

Fighting side by side her soldiers, Queen Amanirenas led the front of her army with her son close by her side. Her attack was highly successful and Queen Amanirenas captured three major Roman cities, took captives and destroyed and defaced many statues of Emporer Augustus.

Because of their large army, the Roman Empire easily reclaimed its cities, invaded Kush and sold many into slavery, but this did not deter Queen Amanirenas, if anything, it only made her stronger.

The Kushyte and Roman armies fought tirelessly with the queen who was strong in battle for three long years. During one of the fights, the queen was injured by a Roman soldier and blinded in one eye. After healing, the queen led her army to several more fights against the Romans.

After three years of battle, the two parties decided to sign a peace treaty which favoured the Kushytes.

Emporer Ceaser Augustus agreed with the queen to take his army out of Egypt, give the Kushytes back their land, withdraw their forts and cancel the taxes. The Kingdom of Kush died a little over 400 years later but till this day, Queen Amanirenas is said to be the bravest and most loyal ruler of the kingdom.

The comic strip is worth reading.

1st time hearing that. As usual, Links?

Can't use modern classifications based on phenotypes to label tribes retroactively.
