Wait a minute...you argue that the Egyptians were not Black but now you ask why did it matter when you get pounded with quotes and drawings depicting them as Black? It matters because you and the other clowns desperately trying to spread disinformation look like illiterate clowns now.Maybe the blacks in your pictures had black makeup on.It was obvious the guy had makeup on. It was the exact same guy that was depicted as a dark skinned Black man. You could see the makeup.They also said things that make no sense, like a machine that calculates 2+2 to be 5, 4+4 to be 10, and 5+5 to be 13. It means it's an unreliable source, at least for the question of math (or in your case the question of skin color/race).You're cherry-picking. When someone says something that supports your agenda, you quote it. When it's contrary to it, it "doesnt matter if he thinks" so.Doesnt matter if he thinks Blacks and whites are cowards. The point is he said the Egyptians were Black like the Ethiopians.
"too black a hue marks the coward, as witness Egyptians and Ethiopians"
He wasnt the only one. herodotus said the same thing.
"..but I myself guessed their Egyptian origin not only because the Colchians are dark-skinned and curly-haired (which does not count for much by itself , because these features are common in others too) but more importantly because Colchians, Egyptians and Ethiopians are the only peoples in the world who practise circumcision and who have always done so."
-Herodotus.
Aristotle weighed in more than one time.
"Why are the Ethiopians and Egyptians bandy-legged? Is it because the bodies of living creatures become distorted by heat, like logs of wood when they become dry? The condition of their hair supports this this theory; for it is curlier than that of other nations, and curliness is as it were crookedness of hair" -Aristotle (Physiognomy, book XIV pg. 317)
I didn't watch or read Harry Potter.Lets say the bible is fiction. So is Harry Potter. Are you saying all the characters in that book are not white?I'm saying your sources are all over the place and you're cherry-picking from them to support your agenda, disregarding anything that doesn't fit it.Basically what you are saying is that some people that were not Black wrote a great religious book about their god and made him and the people in the book Black in direct contradiction to all known human behavior.So they drew what they looked like because you supposedly draw what you look like? You may as well say they were black because you are.I say my my picture is closer to the truth. Why? Because they drew themselves. Your picture is drawn by a little dick insecure white guy. See the difference? I draw what I look like. You draw what you wish I look like.
So what I'm cherry picking? Doesnt change the fact that they said it.The last time someone posted contrary evidence, you replied with "thats a Black guy dressed up like a ghost." You're disregarding evidence that doesn't suit your agenda, you dumb shitskin.Lycinus (describing a young Egyptian): "This boy is not merely black; he has thick lips and his legs are too thin . . . his hair worn in a plait behind shows that he is not a freeman."
Timolaus: "But that is a sign of really distinguished birth in Egypt, Lycinus, All freeborn children plait their hair until they reach manhood. It is the exact opposite of the custom of our ancestors who thought it seemly for old men to secure their hair with a gold brooch to keep it in place."
(Lucian, Navigations, paras 2-3)
Thats typically how it works. You dont draw yourself looking like a white person if youre not white. Please show me one civilization that drew themselves as the skin color of another race. Are you really that stupid or is someone making you post these idiotic questions by force?Maybe the same reason they said blacks were cowards or women were white. Perhaps they were drunk.Like I said before please explain why the Greeks said the Egyptians were Black. If you pretend to not have seen this question consider your line of argument done.
Not sure why it matters. Even you don't care about what they said, except when it fits your agenda, which means you don't consider them to be reliable sources on this subject. If you did, you'd accept the entire statement.
Doesnt matter if he thinks Blacks and whites are cowards.
I did accept the entire statement. Who told you I didnt and how does it change the fact that the Greeks said the Egyptians were Black? I dont care if they thought Black and white people were cowards. None of my business to be honest. Thanks for your participation but you lose again.
