Yeah, Romans would often adopt the name of a conquest. Like Germanicus for defeating Germanic tribes. Scipio adopted Africanus after defeating Hannibal.
Here's the spoiler, though. The name "Africa" doesn't even come from black people. It comes from a Berber tribe in NORTH Africa called the Awriga. The Phoenicians called them the Avriga. And the Romans, the Afrika. They were Caucasoid and light-skinned. The Egyptians called them "The White Race". And get this: These Berber tribes HUNTED black people from chariots. (Read Herodotus' "Histories," Book IV.)
P.P.S.--Blacks were largely contained behind the Sahara until the Arabs breached the desert in 700 AD. In Antiquity, the Romans did not equate "Africa" with blacks. The only people they had contact with were the white Berbers on the Mediterranean basin. Scipio Africanus would have been perplexed if you tried to tell him that his name meant "black people". He had probably never laid eyes on one in his life. All the "Africans" he ever met looked like this: https://imgur.com/a/MvLTp18
That's something along the lines of what I thought I remembered. I vaguely remember reading about "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" being shot in Spain.
The deceptive mongrelization of characters in media has warped her mind. It is deliberate. It has been done before. It is designed to weaken us. Unless it happens fast enough for enough people to notice, be horrified, and fight back, it will continue.
This is what I find hilarious about the whole Jesus thing. You know, the guy who's the son of god and born from a virgin. That would only be possible if his skin color conformed to his mother's from that region, the rest of it is completely fine though!
"Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire" - Lamentations 4
That's the point I was making. It doesn't make sense that one could think it's impossible for Jesus to be white but simultaneously accept he was born from a Virgin, especially when scripture and paintings of the man depict him with light skin. I don't know anyone with whiter than milk, ruddy skin that's not of Caucasian decent.
i agree but we also gotta understand and accept da fact that christians have done da same thing to jesus.
jesus was literally born to a middle eastern jew during da reign of da roman empire. ofc as da son of god he coulda been born any race or skin color, but if we have no other evidence and we assume that he takes on human form based on the genetics of his human mother, we can conclude that jesus was anything but a white long brown haired hippy lookin model...
it’s far more likely jesus had olive to dark brown skin with black hair and would look more similar to an arab than a european. this is just facts.
if jesus as da son of god could look like any race, there is absolutely no reason he would look like a white germanic european.
The truth is it’s been over 2000 years, no one has any idea what he looked like physically. There isn’t exactly a surviving Polaroid. He could have looked like either Hemsworth or Kanye West. No one can say for sure. Can’t really equate him with modern day middle easterners either, as there have been thousands of years of successive war, conquests and integration of other societies and races. There are tombs in Iraq and Syria which depict people with golden hair and blue eyes, there have been mummies unearthed with ginger in their beards. The Sumerians could have looked like the guys from Abba and we wouldn’t know it because all we have left of them are crumbling statues and rock carvings.
It doesn’t matter what Jesus the man looked like, the substance of his life and message are the only thing we should give a shit about.
But how many Medieval Europeans knew what Middle-Easterners looked like? If you're painting a picture of Jesus, you're probably going to paint Him in a way that looks like the people you see in your everyday life.
The cope from the retards.
First they say the romans didn't cared about race, which is bullshit, the word slave comes from them literally caring about race, gosh, they cared about cast, for christ sake. They had literally a patrician upper cast, and actual cast.
Others bugged that some roman emperors being blond, showing zero knowledge of history.
Honestly, if the left keep this up future historians are going to look back and have this brilliant, new idea that's never been done before to sail to Africa and colonize the locals. Can't possibly go wrong, never been done before.
I saw a clip from Star Wars cartoon rebels. Every good guy was either an alien or a middle eastern, black, hispanic, female. Every bad guy was a middle aged white male.
That's basically Star Trek Discovery as well. They kept Pike as a white dude because it's canon, but I bet they would have race/gender swapped him if they thought they could get away with it.
Yes. Specially when rome was a mess. (emperors start looking a bit more diverse once rome is falling down, in all aspects, though if I'm not mistaken, there was some more dark emperors before as well)
probably because lineage stops having importance. Rome's path out of having king's looks like it's start to having kings, with a lot of stabbings and corruption.
Original Poster, it might be helpful to provide people with a chart of the pigmentation of Roman Emperors, according to contemporary sources: https://imgur.com/a/v6K2cQB (You can see pretty fast how high their rates of blue eyes were, and the shocking preponderance of fair hair.)
Not my kind of white but yea, everyone outside of sub Saharan may as well be white. Fuck Rome though in all seriousness. I would have sacked that piece of shit and burned it to the ground, unlike my ancestors that admired its "beauty". Rome, the west, Christianity and all that shit, kiss the ring Yada Yada Yada.

Lol, is that person retarded? Do they know what Italians look like? Or do they think Anne Boleyn was actually black?
The BBC and history channel have documentaries where people like achilles and scipio africanus were black.
You see he's called Africanus cause he likes to jog. Not because he cucked Carthage.
We wuz kangz
Nope. Just dick washers.
Wow.
Well his name is Africanus so duh, idiot.
Read a book? nah I just watch the Netflix version.
He was literally named Africanus for conquering Africa, not because he was born there.
Yeah, Romans would often adopt the name of a conquest. Like Germanicus for defeating Germanic tribes. Scipio adopted Africanus after defeating Hannibal.
Here's the spoiler, though. The name "Africa" doesn't even come from black people. It comes from a Berber tribe in NORTH Africa called the Awriga. The Phoenicians called them the Avriga. And the Romans, the Afrika. They were Caucasoid and light-skinned. The Egyptians called them "The White Race". And get this: These Berber tribes HUNTED black people from chariots. (Read Herodotus' "Histories," Book IV.)
So "Africa" isn't even named after Black People. It's named after a Mediterranean group that looked like this:https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F536913586801522529%2F&psig=AOvVaw1yAjwgs5p0GVhqinDaqXv8&ust=1620648756634000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCOi3rKPJvPACFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

Amazon is now casting a black woman as a Nordic viking ragnar lmaoii
The death of a good series. I was so hyped until I saw that, now I won't be watching it at all.
White people aren’t allowed to have culture and history independent of “POC”.
What show?
You have me cracking up, with that black boleyn comment.

Y'see, they fucked up. If they REALLY wanted to drive discussion, they would have cast the two he beheaded as black...
Italians look like mexicans, just ask anyone who has watched a spaghetti western.
Weren't many of the spaghetti westerns shot in OG latino land (i.e. Spain)? So, they're more authentic than could be imagined.
Shot a lot of them in italy
Yeah, but I thought that they did a lot of the outside stuff in Spain.
A lot of the spaghetti Westerns were shot in and around Almeria, in Spain
That's something along the lines of what I thought I remembered. I vaguely remember reading about "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" being shot in Spain.
Thank you.
Because they were white, tard.
Beavers really looked at rivers and said “I gotta put a stop to this!”
More thought process than the average jogger, eh?
Blacks looked at rivers and said, "I gotta rape this!"
That retarded comment is the EXACTLY the type of mindset these propagandists want to achieve with everyone through revisionist storytelling....
There is ALWAYS a reason for the shit they are trying to pull.
Based Pole telling it like it is.

"Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire" - Lamentations 4
Go learn what ruddy in body means
It means they were so white that you could see their faces flush red.
Like an Irishmen.
That's disgusting, going around having your Nazarites hanging out like that. Who knows what sort of decadent fool is going to see them like that.
That's the point I was making. It doesn't make sense that one could think it's impossible for Jesus to be white but simultaneously accept he was born from a Virgin, especially when scripture and paintings of the man depict him with light skin.

Adam in Hebrew literally means "to be red" aka to blush. Blushing is a trait commonly found in the fair skinned.

Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit. Can you please tell me what color the Holy Ghost is?

Although I guess China is doing that already.
It's all so tiresome.
The word "slave" literally came from the enslavement of Slavic individuals, you know.... white people
Yep, the Latin name "Rufus" means "Ruddy" or "Ginger"
You forgot soulless! lol! jk.
Great photos of Willie Mayes!
A gem of a comment which will surely be lost in time
We wuz seezurz
Some emperors would be tanner than others, depending on what province they were from. The Severans, for example, were from Syria.
I saw a clip from Star Wars cartoon rebels. Every good guy was either an alien or a middle eastern, black, hispanic, female. Every bad guy was a middle aged white male.
Don't watch this compilation of movie/TV/interview clips then, you will be shocked.

Joe Biden said his goal is to make white people a minority in America.
That's basically Star Trek Discovery as well. They kept Pike as a white dude because it's canon, but I bet they would have race/gender swapped him if they thought they could get away with it.
Kanan is about as white as they come and he was a good guy.
He's designed to look Hispanic. He's voiced by Freddy Prinze Jr. - Hispanic.
Where is the Pizza and Spaghetti?
Dat’s a spicy meat-a-ball!

You're saying this because of the wall right?

Aurelian was a dapper looking dude, no homo.
Some are obviously part Arican if you look at all of them.

At some point the Praetorian Guard was in charge of choosing the Emperor.
Hey man, I can't remember everything all the time, lol! but yeah, sometimes that happens.
The FBI/CIA desperately want to be this.
Imagine being that stupid
Say, you don't suppose people who are obsessed with erasing white people from the past might want to erase white people from the future?
Now do Cleopatra!
Those emperors are some real hunks.
Really? Ok the first three. But not Tiberius, he reminds me of Zuckerberg in this one
Haha, Tiberius not so much.
Got a thing for mass murderers, huh?
No, just the strong alpha Male type. Blame evolution.
You could say it's in my blood, I guess.

Fuckin' based Pole.
you;d think romans would be darker than that though
