So you want this guy to play a pharaoh?
somali's were definitely not depicted as being part of that branch, in fact I neve mentioned Somalis, so that should tell you something. Sudan and Ethiopia were literally part of that region
Kenya is in east Africa. Why couldn’t he look Kenyan?
my bad, I also forgot about Kenya. jesus couldn't have looked Kenyan though, it was stated part of his family may have came from parts of Abyssinia. that is modern day Ethiopia fam
All West African don't look the same.
Senegalese look a lot like Sudanese people, and that's West and East. Why? Because they have common origins
this is also true
Because black folks, over here, can't give up that Jesus pill. They have to need to see themselves in those stories. My dad's church has a big poster inside with the following text, "We Are The True Hebrews." I've heard the same stuff coming out of there that I've heard on a sidewalk with a Hebrew Israelite shouting in a bullhorn.
There's already a rich history to be proud of in W. Africa without inventing any.
and that's what angers me, west Africa has a super rich history but mfers rather gloss over it to be a group of people that they aren't. The kingdom of mali was beaitful, the kingdom of benin was rich, the nri kingdom was very diplomatic but people are really stuck on egypts as if its the only bastion of knowledge within Africa.
West africans were also very into numerology and still are that's why you see this kids killin it in math competitions
where you see folks depicting hebrews as resembling central/west africans¿*
this whole board bro, Hebrew Israelites especially love to pander this nonsense
folks tryna project a perspective euros brought about relatively recently onto how things were seen by the ancestors*
it's nonsensical, im studying this from the beginning and I started scratching my head like, some of the stuff people are saying don't make sense
