  1. But not into sub-Saharan Africa.

  2.  @williams4434  You trip yourself up by making false claims, mon vieux. I simply stated a fact. Please feel free to prove that the Roman Empire did reach into Sub Saharan Africa, of course. 'I've already debunked you twice.' Only in your imagination, perhaps?

  3.  @williams4434  As you seem disinclined to give a Biblical reference in support of your claim, let me help you out. The nearest thing to a discription of Jesus' physical appearance is in Revelation 1: 14-15, whic in the King James Bible reads :- 'His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.' Not quite as you said, is it? By the way, the Book of Revelation probably dates from the reign of Domitian, at around 96 A. D. and was attributed to John the Elder, or John of Patmos, an Ephesian Christian. Certainly, no-one who had seen Jesus would have contributed to it.

  4.  @williams4434  I expect that you have an impeccable source? David Olusoga, perhaps?

  5. Nonsense. It is documented that he was born in Todmorden.

  6.  @williams4434  'who said anything about Sub Sahara ?' I did, because those whom you describe as 'blacks' come from Sub-Saharan Africa, not fro Africa as a whole. To put that into context, would you seek to argue that Europeans from Norway or Sweden look just like Europeans from Greece or Southern Italy? Good luck trying to make that case. It seems you now accept that only North Africa was ever part of the Roman Empire. Good, that is a start. All you need to do now is grasp the indisputable fact that Africans from North Africa looked, and look, rather different from Africans of Sub-Saharan African descent. Your lumping everyone from the whole of the continent of Africa into the same 'black'' category seems rather like racism to me, and, I suspect, to most other people. ' by description Jesus was black, Bronzed feet who has hair like wool ? black folks, also many believe Jesus was black.' I have already answered this claim elsewhere, but will do so again:- Revelation 1:14-15 ' His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.' Not quite what you are claiming, is it?

  7. Rudolf Hess was born in Alexandria in 1894. I wonder why he hasn't been put forward as a prominent African Man of Colour?

  8. Jesus Christ was a Middle Eastern, Hebraic Jewish man. Where in the Bible is Jesus described as black?

  9.  @williams4434  Had you done your study, you would have known that Tertullian was born in Carthage. He was of Punic, or possibly Berber, descent although in 'De Pallio' he describes himself as 'Poenicum inter Romanos' or 'Punic among the Romans.'
