  1. …false history you mean.

  2. You need to study more, as does the channel owner.

  3.  @nyamerkor1823  Most people haven't yet appreciated true meanings of words which describe, for example, ignorance. The Egyptians today are not the same people who inhabited that part of the world thousands of years ago. One would think even someone under 25 could figure this out for themselves.

  4. You're not thinking fourth dimensionally. It's really tedious trying to explain to children here, that many generations of people existed before them.

  5.  @123evilwolf  You could say that again. It's astonishing. Every person in this thread, livid on account of sampling actual history for the first time in their lives, unwittingly describe what their ancestors did with it.

  6. ​ @fuwto  Africa derives from Africus, a Greek deity responsible for the southwesterly (hot or Aphrike) wind. Africus happens to be a member of the native Greco-Roman gods, a member of their native, old gods pantheon: the di indigetes. We know it's not an adopted name because another pantheon exists: di novensides or newcomer gods adopted from defeated tribes.

  7. If you're lucky, one day you'll realize how accurate your comment happens to be.

  8. They did that for the better part of a century. Now it seems they've decided to tell the truth in their own particular way.

  9. The only pathetic thing here is your lack of knowledge.

  10.  @dopecat15  They do.

  11. I agree. If you're going to do it, do it properly. The actual truth they can't show. For them, it has to drips and drabs here and there until you get used to it.

  12.  @curiousconsultant7922  A tan is heritable? In northern latitudes, tans last only a few weeks. It's a little known fact that black people also tan. Even less known, it seems, is that white people don't do well in harsh sunlight. Climate does not affect heritable pigmentation.

  13.  @JohnJohn-bz1lq  At the time -- the Greco-Roman word Africa (based on an indigenous Italian wind deity) meant "the land of heat to the southwest." It had not yet become associated with dark skin.
    1
  14.  @hannibalnecros1684  The production isn't about Africa. It's about Europe. Blacks existed in Europe before any other race. They persisted when others arrived, and continued, albeit in diminishing numbers, right up until modern times. These were never "African." One of the greatest lies ever told is that blacks derive from Africa.

  15. The problem here is a necessity for identity. One group stole the lands and identities of another, forced indigenous populations to flee, and then named themselves and everyone else after landmasses. This problem goes away if tribes revert to identifying ancestral names instead. Africa did not exist until the age of discovery. Before that it was the name of coastal lands stolen by Romans, based on the quality of a trade wind. It's not the name of a people or a bloodline, and it's not the origin of man, it just serves as a sanctuary for him. It was considered a wasteland until opportunists realized it had buried mineral wealth. Calling people African is the same as calling them American. Both are conveniences.

  16. If that's the way it was, who are we to argue with it? Convenience isn't history.

  17. @AnaisMorena-rf1lv What's a real African? Africa is the name of a piece of land.

  18. The funny part is that he was actually black!

  19. Most hilarious in all this is that Netflix actually offers the truth. Hannibal was indeed black.

  20.  @seto_kaiba_  I'm not even going to argue with you about it.

  21.  @seto_kaiba_  Have you even bothered to check whether the channel owner knows what he's talking about? How about this? You do some research right now! If you care enough to dig for it, you'll be discomfited, but... you'll no longer dive in making foolish comments to complete strangers who could be twice your age and much wiser.

  22.  @seto_kaiba_  There'no such thing as Afrocentric. They (modern scholars) lied to you about origins and where people come from.

  23. ​ @seto_kaiba_  Egyptians, Phoenicians Africans? Egypt is the Greek name for the city of Memphis. Phoenicians the Greeks named in reference to the colour red, or in some theories a purple dye, but let's go with red. Africans are an identity-deprived people, named after a land given the feminine form of a Greek anemoi (wind deity). Carthage and Tunisia are French corruptions of earlier words which describe cities. How does one determine the racial attributes of those coming under such loose terms, thousands of years after these populations existed, considering back then no one used these words the way we do today? Are you aware that the original Arabs (meaning mixed -- Ishmael with Edomites) and Judeans (their unmixed cousins) would today pass for persons of colour or outright blacks? Of all the inhabitants of the Levant I'll give you the inhabitants of Tyre, whose description in Ezekiel suggests "brightness," but it remains to be seen whether those inhabitants were Edomites, with whom they formed a confederacy. Edom means red.

  24. ​ @seto_kaiba_  You don't call Carthaginians black because you’re brainwashed to believe that non-blacks invented civilization, when instead, they usurped it. The Egyptians, or whatever they called themselves back then, left us clues as to how they looked. They created bas-relief pictograms, statues, and artifacts which depict blacks in various shades. Non-blacks coming along later even broke off or defaced the noses to lessen the defining negroid identity. Your labels Sub-Sarahan Africans, Europeans, Middle Easterners are either toponyms or descriptors of land, except for Europe which may describe the way faces looked. We can ignore "Africans" and "Middle Easterners" because they don't describe races. Instead, they're MODERN bywords associated with homogenous groups. Africa for example derives from Africus, an indigenous Greco-Roman deity personifying the south-west wind, from their point of view. Sahara is an Arabic word meaning desert. Therefore, Sub-Saharan Africans literally means nothing at all. Africa did not become a widespread term to describe a continent until the age of discovery. The Sahara desert got its name obviously when the Muslim Arabs acquired North Africa. These are relatively recent events. So, tell me--now that your modern associations between place names and racial attributes exist no more--how you can insist--that races come from where they're found today!

  25.  @seto_kaiba_  Before you go ahead and introduce "genetics" I must ask if you comprehend the phrase "confidence trick." I doubt very much your personal ability to determine race from DNA samples thousands of years old. You're at the mercy of foundations, and teams funded by those in whose interests published findings might be, and it's ever so easy to slap some letters after some names, throw around some platitudes about qualifications, and convince people of 100% falsehoods, when those cozened will never be able to verify the information themselves. It's a confidence trick, or con, for short.

  26.  @seto_kaiba_  Scripture in several places states that the Hebrews / Israelites could pass for Ethiopians, or Egyptians. That should tell you all you need to know.

  27.  @seto_kaiba_  The question is, did they look different back in the day? They look about as different as indigenous white Brits, and EU Slavs.

  32. If only you people would learn how to read. You'd realize the researchers who inform the scriptwriters are absolutely correct. It's not their fault that you can't read. They're doing you a favor, bringing this out to your lazy attention.

  33.  @fuwto  And?
    1
  34.  @fuwto  Your comprehension is limited. To begin with Africa is the name of a piece of land, given to it by conquerors. What you call blackwashing is simple reversal of whitewashing. Black history isn't confined to "Africa." It's also the history of Europe and Asia, as well of other places.
    1
  35.  @BilalKhan-yg9jc  Sub-Saharan-African? What is that? Is it a person born south of the Sahara desert? Why do you use this term? It tells us nothing about an individual. When I suggest you learn how to read it's not an insult. It's a practical instruction. People do not read. They gloss over stuff on their phones. Now, this doesn't mean you have to get your hands on physical texts. You can learn just as much from listening to audiobooks. The point is, if you don't expose yourself to knowledge, you're susceptible to the inconvenience of a hurt pride when inevitably you'll face correction.

  36. ​ @fuwto  Mmm. Nope. Africa derives from the di indigetes anemoi: Africus, a Magna Graecian trade wind deity representing the southwesterly sirocco. We know it's not based on the name of any tribe. Just ask! It's not arrogance. It's diligence.

  37.  @fuwto  Comprehension skills are just as important as sentence structure. I said what you might call blackwashing is correction of whitewashing. Why was this so difficult for you?

  38.  @BilalKhan-yg9jc  I can't furnish you with answers to nonsensical questions! What is a Sub-Saharan African? When did we discuss Caucasians? Why should I come off as someone well read? That would be necessary only for the sake of credibility. I'm just telling you to be careful where you wade in.

  39.  @fuwto  Me, myself, and I. If you're interested in the facts, we can discuss them. Be specific. What do you wish to learn? EDIT: I posted two further comments. Both seem removed?

  40. ​ @fuwto  ​ @fuwto It's subtle, but, then again, so is the compendium of pervasive lies. Here's the reasoning. As I said, the name Africus is that of a Greco-Roman wind deity. These they call Anemoi. Back then heathens attempted to describe the world around them in terms they understood. To them the existence of winds coming from different directions meant some deity was responsible in each case. Thus they believed a creature called Notus/Auster blew wind from the south. Boreas or Aquilo stood puffing cold winds from the North. Eurus blew from the East, and Zephyrus/Favonius brought early light summer breezes in from the west. Who blew from the South-West? Who was responsible for a hot and unbearable sirocco coming up over the Mediterranean? Africus. The Greeks, who lived on the Italian peninsular, we call Magna Graecians. They became part of Rome, but for a time, being independent, they came up with their own "gods." The Romans simply renamed those gods, hence the main anemoi have two names. Since the Magna Graecians became absorbed into Rome, the Romans considered them native, as in an old population. During their conquest of other lands, they'd developed a way to distinguish the old native gods, from those adopted along the way. The newcomer gods they placed in a pantheon (or house gods) named Di Novensides. These were comprehensions, understandings, and deified personae they couldn't neglect, and so they added them to their belief system. Meanwhile, all the old and native gods of the Italian peninsular, deriving from Etruria in the North, to Magna Graecia in the south, and all the tribes in-between, they placed in the Di Indigetes, or indigenous pantheon. Guess in which house of gods we find our friend Africus? The Greeks, the pre-Greeks enjoyed a good show, just the way modern audiences do, only theirs were done by live performers. Although actors back then were in some circles despised, the characters they played became legend. In one case a character called Phrike came to personify frost, and thus cold, and the concept of heat derived from its opposite: Aphrike. Thence began the naming of the Southwesterly wind: Africus, deified by the Romans as an indigenous Greco-Roman anemoi. This is how we know no tribe called ifir, or afra, or afri existed; if they had, the Romans would never honor, nor deify the name of a defeated people, especially not those they considered inferior. Furthermore, we know the Romans, who were a patriarchal society, used the masculine suffix -us before the feminine -a. Africus precedes Africa. Africa Territory simply meant the land of heat.

  41. ​ @fruz1378  When I respond, I assume the target knows how to use a search engine. Of course it makes sense to avoid assumption. People can read a whole tract without grasping its meaning. If you can't research things based on simple prompts, how can you hope to grasp detailed commentary? You expect a random person to convince you of something you won't bother to check? Now, my comments may come across as arrogant, I suppose, but really that's just frustration. Di Novensides. Di Indigetes. You can find the meaning of these phrases in seconds, but instead you ask me to provide evidence to back up my claims?

  42.  @fruz1378  Also, sometimes it helps to be brash. It garners attention.
    1
  43.  @fruz1378  Again, it's not my fault that people don't read comments properly before responding. The point was, no such thing as a sub-Saharan African exists. Both the word Sahara and Africa describe wasteland, and people do not descend from sand, or savannah. Calling people African is denying their true identities and true history.

  44.  @fruz1378  Again, no such thing as Sub-Saharans exist. The initial comment and the above video both relegate black people to this ignorant and false categorization. Black people lived in Europe and Asia up until modern times. No argument is necessary. I welcome discussion instead. My statement regards the racial appearance of Hannibal Barca. A simple web search using pertinent keywords, will provide you with all the evidence you require.

I know they teach you that each race derives from the land in which they're found. What they don't teach you is that one race existed everywhere before the others.

  56.  @Puffball-ll1ly  That's what these channels don't realize. They forget. Up until this point, blacks never controlled content, and still don't. Anti-Black historians, feeling bitter now, is the result of exposure to the actual truth. You see, up until now, it's all been a bunch of lies. Every motion picture, every documentary, everything taught at school -- all omitted a particular detail. The truth leaked out because of the Internet; content creators want to profit from it, or control it, gate keep, preempt revelation, whatever you like. Hannibal was black, and so were the vast majority of historical figures existing before moving pictures.
