...OkayWhat was he on some OJ shyt? "I ain't Black. I'm Cheddar man."
I don't think Stone Henge is all that impressive either. But it does make question what the author was up to...
Edit: Maybe the author, Atinuke, is trying to get attention? Maybe its something more sinister. Either way, I cannot believe he thinks early Britons are what people today would call "Black".

This is something I studied years ago. Would love to read the book, because this is facts that Europe was BLACK and originally black in ancient times and that Caucasians came thousands of years later. They mainly came from the Ukrainian steppes.Stonehenge was built by black Britons, children’s history book claims
Readers of the newly-released book are told that monument was built while Britain was ‘a black country’

Stonehenge was built by black Britons, a new children’s history book has claimed.
The illustrated book entitled Brilliant Black British History, by the Nigerian-born British author Atinuke, says “every single British person comes from a migrant” but “the very first Britons were black”.
Readers of the newly-released book are told that Stonehenge was built while Britain was “a black country”.
The book, published by Bloomsbury and promoted by Arts Council-funded literacy charity The Book Trust, states that “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came, and during that time the most famous British monument was built, Stonehenge.”
The introduction says that “Britain has been a mostly white country for a lot less time than it has been a mostly black country”.
Atinuke’s book, for readers aged seven-plus, takes the reader through a chronological overview of black people’s presence in Britain, saying that Cheddar Man, the oldest human remains found in Britain, had skin “as dark as dark can be”.
‘A hodgepodge of people’
The claims made in the book have caused concern among some historians that children could be brought up reading “misinformation”.
The leaders of 2018 research into Cheddar Man’s DNA said it was impossible to know with certainty how this early inhabitant looked, and other researchers noted problems with attempting to predict skin tone from the genetic model used.

Recent genetic analysis has shown that the inhabitants of Britain in the period when Stonehenge was completed, around 2,500 BC, were pale-skinned early farmers whose ancestors had spread from Anatolia.
On a page featuring an image of a black Roman legionary fighting a white Celt, Atinuke’s book says Rome “turned back to Europe and pushed north” to conquer Britain after first being unable to take the African kingdom of Nubia.
The book states that the Roman historian Tacitus reported that the Silures people in Wales were “dark-skinned and curly-haired”. In Tacitus’ full account, he theorised that they may have been from Spain.
It adds that, by the Middle Ages, Britain was “a hodgepodge of people: original British migrants, Celts, Romans, Britons, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Africans and Normans”, adding: “They spoke a hodgepodge language too – English”.

In the period of the Tudors and Stewarts, an incoming black Muslim population brought “new knowledge about textiles, medicine, maths and navigation”.
Windrush generation
The book says that following the Second World War, “Britain needed help” and so the “government asked people from the colonies to come”. These included the Windrush generation, and others from counties that had been “left poor after slavery and colonisation”.
It also includes a page on Black Lives Matter, which states that although “race does not scientifically exist”, black people suffer “institutional racism”.
Atinuke’s book has caused concern among historians, with Dr Zareer Masani saying “seems typical of the kind of wokedom that’s been colonising our schools and universities”.

He claimed it was “evidence of brainwashing children with outright lies, confusion and misinformation”.
David Abulafia, a historian and Cambridge emeritus professor, said: “The Nazis claimed that the cultural achievements of the north were the work of blond, fair-skinned folk.
“Making skin colour a criterion for judging great achievements like Stonehenge is therefore not a new idea. It is also rubbish. It only gets interesting if their skins were blue or green.”
Representatives of Atinuke have been approached for comment.
What's The Coli's opinion on this one?
How is this stupid? Do you understand the significance of this fact?
He was black, just another variation, like the aboriginee. He had blue eyes with very dark skin--that is black. There are different types of black, not just one, especially not just the one in most of modern day Africa.
This is not related to what this author is saying. The moors conquered. The ancient Europeans were literally already there and were black. This isn't about conquering and migrating. Literally the original inhabitants of Western Europe were black.
So you consider Aborigines "Black"... When we use "Black" today, we mean Sub Saharan Africans and their descendants. I think. I never heard a Black person claim Aboriginees or Indians based on dark skin.
It’s not revenge for nothing, it’s the truth.revenge for saying the pyramids were built by aliens
No that’s not what the fukk "we" mean.
OK so what. I gave a random fact Holla.

They were referred as "black" by the settlers of Australia.
There's a word lighter skinned Indians use for darkskin Indians called "Khala" which is the equivalent to the N-word.
Ok and

That's based on a very limited view of what black means, which leads to the underlying problem within the premise of this thread, and that is the modern day eurocentric view of perpetuating blackness to only originate and be from Africa, centralizing what has been scattered amongst the world since the beginning of human history--that is to say if your mind is trained to think black means strictly African, you won't know or believe that the ethnic roots of all of society, not just African, are black. So as to say when you see the depictions of anglicanized history you believe they actually looked that way. Aboriginee is black, just like the original native peoples of the country were also black. One color, different shades. The Earth's version of all original man was black, regardless of location.
