Comments by "Miguel D Lewis" (@MiguelDLewis) on "THIS Is Why They Lied About Our History..." video.

I'm a black American and even I admire Britian though I've never been. It's one of the few officially Christian nations. The British Empire helped free us from slavery during the Revolutionary War and made a way for Harriet Tubman to bring us to Canada. God bless Britain and God bless Canada. 🙏🏾✝🕊

@rtflone I don't have my facts confused at all actually. You're jumping to conclusions and making assumptions. I know Britain brought slavery to the American colonies. But prior to 1832, the British Empire ended slavery in the 13 colonies. The British were starting to end slavery in the colonies starting in 1772. Black Loyalists formed a British army unit called the Ethiopian Regiment which freed slaves and fought against the patriots. I already know about African slave wars, Northern slavers, and Yale. None of this contradicts what I said about the British Empire ending slavery and Canada being a safe haven for freed former slaves.

@raycorrigan3297 UK is Christian in action also, seeing as it abolished slavery, abolished capital punishment, and allows individual liberties and freedom of choice. That may be changing in recent years but the track record has been pretty good with few exceptions. The majority doesn't have to be Christian as long as the monarchy remains Christian. As for "sky wizards" you have no moral or epistemological justification to compare Christianity to such fantasy. In fact, your criticism is based in Judeochristian philosophy.

If two people of the same religion marry, it's not interracial according to the bible. A black Christian husband and his white Christian wife are the same Christian race. "I am black and beautiful. My love is white and ruddy." - Song of Solomon 1:5 & 5:10 "Moses married an Ethiopian." - Numbers 12:1

@dudeonyoutube Africans literally built the pyramids. The pyramids are in Egypt and Sudan, which are African countries. This is basic geography.

Charles Darwin started it. Darwinism is to blame for this backlash. You can't exclude black people from European history and not expect them to eventually find the truth.

@ghost-user559 By your logic, black Africans are Causcus Asians too since they descend from Noah. The reason why there are white Israelites and black Israelites is because Israelites, as I said initially, descend from multiple ethnic groups. You’re blinded by white pride. “I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” - Acts 10:34-35

@OddityDK Kush Empire is sub-saharan and had the written Mero script, the wheel, and agriculture before Britain or Rome even existed.

@johnwesleyharding The Nile stretches all the way into Ethiopia. That's sub-saharan.

@onusgumboot5565 Egypt is still Africa. Kush Empire is in sub-saharan Africa. The history of both Kush Empire and Egypt are thoroughly recorded, especially in the Bible. I don't know anything about Cleopatra but from what little I've read, her father, Ptolemy was Greek while her mother was Egyptian. So, she was probably some shade of brown, not black or white.

@dudeonyoutube I don't know about flying machines and computers being in Ancient Egypt. That seems like a stretch.

@ghost-user559 You conclusions are based on omissions. Israelites are described as “white and ruddy” or “black”. The only time anyone is described as just white without also being ruddy is when they have leprosy, like Miriam. “Miriam became leprous, white as snow.” - Numbers 12:10 Notice it doesn’t also say she was ruddy too. How could leprosy make Miriam White if she was already white? Noah is described as “white and snow AND RED AS A ROSE”. So are the Nazarites. Your own scriptures show they weren’t just white. You’re omitting key verses and jumping to conclusions in your pride.

@ghost-user559 Lamentations 4:8 says they're dying of starvation, not disease. “Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.” - Lamentations 4:8 Shulumite is black from the son like all black people are black from the sun.

@sol-hunter2332 Then why does God say "I am the Lord thy God FROM THE LAND OF EGYPT" in Hosea 13:4? Also, there was no sub-saharan during this time as the Sahara was mostly a green savannah before its desertification. Yes, Christianity is for the entire world but so are Christian countries like Britian.

@mubbles1066 This was before the Arab invasion so, no Septimius Severus would not "look like an Arab". You say that like all Arabs look the same. Severus was undoubtedly black based on the Severan Tondo and his native African heritage. Arabs are not native Africans.

@djnormalnorman6590 You're assuming that Judeochristianity isn't Egyptian. Moses is from Egypt. His wife, Sephora, was Ethiopian. "I am the Lord thy God from Egypt." - Hosea 13:4 "Moses married an Ethiopian." - Numbers 12:1 Egypt and Ethiopia are in Africa.

What has been falsified in the song "Been Here From the Start"? Septimius Severus, Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, Catalina of Motril, and Cheddar Man all seem to be based in fact.

@howardjones7370 Blue eyes is irrelevant. The skin tone is what was brought up in the BBC song. There are black people with blue eyes and even blond hair. The people of Vanuatu are black with blonde hair too. North Africa had not yet been invaded by Arab Muslims during the time of Septimius Severus. He was a native African. The BBC song doesn't claim that Blanke was born in Britian. It's just saying he was there.

@MrBannystar What evidence do you have that contradicts the 'Been Here from the Start' song? Noone said that North Africans are the same as sub-saharans. That's a strawman argument. I also never said that only black Africans existed in the North.

@wiilov I wasn't going to respond to this ad hominem attack at first but it's a great learning tool. It shows that people who have no logical, fact-based arguments will always resort to childish ad hominem fallacies, even if they're obviously untrue. One can come from a great family and have a loving, supportive father, like myself, but still be falsely accused of the opposite. This combines the red-herring fallacy with the ad hominem to distract from the subject at hand. It's the most primitive of all coping mechanisms. The undernourished ego will use every fallacy in the book if it means they don't have to admit they're wrong.

@divinaluz7 Moors are black too. There are black people all over Africa, including Maghreb. I have no need for a "goctha"; I'm just presenting the facts unbiasedly. Black skin is not a "sub-saharan phenotype". Black skin exists all over the world, including among the Jarawa of India and the Papua of Papua New Guinea. The people of Vanuatu are black too yet have blonde hair. Also, the bible records a black North African Hebrew named the Shulumite, Queen of Sheba. She's also said to be the daughter of the Pharaoh. This was before North Africa was invaded by Muslim Arabs. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5 ✝

@phifflon Or we might find out that the Hebrews recorded in the bible came from Africa and that Judeochristianity is an African religion.

@annemurphy9339 The evidence suggests she was also Egyptian through her mother. Royal dynasties at the time actually didn't just marry there own family lines. Pharaoh Siamun was mixed with Egyptian and Hittite. His wife, Siamun Karomama, was Kushite from Sudan/Ethiopia. Pharaoh Ahmose was an Egyptian but his wife, Ahmose-Nefertari, was Kushite. So what you're saying is completely false. Egyptian Royals had always married into different Ethnicities as long as they shared the same religion and worshipped the same god(s). The Ptolemys were no different. The term "caucasoid" is Darwinist pseudoscience and doesn't refer to any specific haplogroup, haplotype, of phenotype. So, no, Cleopatra would not be caucasoid because caucosoid doesn't actually exist.

@richy69ify Ancient Egypt is still in Africa. Ancient Egyptians were Africans. There's even a verse in the bible where the daughter of a Pharaoh says she's black. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5
2
@ghost-user559 Yes, I've seen those replies and responded. I'll respond here as well if you wish. "Sheba" isn't the name of the Queen of Sheba. "Sheba" is the name of the province in Sudan where she ruled under her father, the Pharaoh. The name "Shulumite" is the name she adopted from her husband, Solomon. Wives adopt the names of their husbands in Hebrew tradition. Shulumite is said to have been praised by queens and concubines in the Song of Solomon so the bible contradicts your claims. If you're reading a bible that says Moses allowed slavery, that bible is a mistranslation. Read the KJV, Douay-Rheims, or Peshitta. Those are the official English translations. Some of the Israelites were black actually. They came out of Egypt and Ethiopia, in Africa. Shulumite is described as black in the Song of Solomon. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5

@ghost-user559 "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5

@ghost-user559 The age of the translation is irrelevant. That's a mistranslation. Shachor (שְׁחוֹרָ֤ה) in Hebrew means black. The scriptures say the ancestors of the Israelites came from multiple places including Ur, Canan, Egypt, and Ethiopia. Some of their ancestors even married Ishmaelites. Your question is based on the false premise that all Israelites looked the same. A healthy Israelite definitely wasn't white. The Bible says Mirum became white when she got leprosy. "Miriam became leprous, white as snow." - Numbers 12:10 Contrast that to Solomon, who was "white and ruddy" and his first wife who was "black".
2
@ghost-user559 I'm referring to English translations, obviously. The KJV, Douay-Rheims, and Peshitta in Plain English are the only authoritative English translations. So no, the age doesn't matter. What matters is the accuracy of the translation into English. If your English translation translates shachor (שְׁחוֹרָ֤ה) as "dark" rather than "black", it's a mistranslation. You have to be specific of the "ancestors" you're talking about. Are you talking about the ancestors of Moses? Or do you mean the ancestors of Jacob and Abraham? How far back in the genealogy are you talking? Which specific generation are you referring to? You're being too vague. Generally, the Israelites have had ancestors from Ur, Canaan, Egypt, Ethiopia, etc. David even married a Hittite. If we go back far enough, Adam and Eve were also ancestors of the Israelites, and they were from Eden. If you can post verses that contradict these verses, I'll admit that I'm wrong: "Moses married an Ethiopian." - Numbers 12:1 "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5 "I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt." - Hosea 13:4

@ghost-user559 This isn’t a contradiction. Keep reading: “Their visage is blacker than a coal” - Lamentations 4:8

@ghost-user559 “And after some days my son Methuselah took for his son Lamech a wife, and she became pregnant by him, and bore a son. And his body was white, like snow, and red like the flower of a rose, and the hair of his head was white like wool. And his eyes were beautiful, and when he opened his eyes he made the whole house bright, like the Sun, so that the whole house was exceptionally bright. And when he was taken from the hand of the midwife, he opened his mouth and spoke to the Lord of Righteousness. And his father Lamech was afraid of him, and fled, and went to his father Methuselah. And he said to him: "I have begotten a STRANGE son; he is NOT LIKE A MAN but is like the children of the Angels of Heaven, of a different type and NOT LIKE US.” - 1 Enoch 106:1-5

@ghost-user559 Song of Solomon 7:4 just says ivory, it doesn't say which type of ivory. For example, black rhino ivory is black, not white. So that would coincide with Song of Solomon 1:5's "I am black and beautiful." You assume that all ivory of every species is the same color. Also, he may be referring to her neck being tall/long like an ivory tower, not the same color. Also, I never claimed to be an Israelite. Just because I'm black like some of the Israelites doesn't mean I am one. I'm not physically circumcised. Jesus split his blood so I don't have to. "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” - Isaiah 53:5

@lefkytheshin Tiye, Ahmose-Nefertari, Taharqa, and Karomama were obviously black. Even Ramses III was black. He came from the E1b1a haplogroup found ubiquitously throughout subsaharan Africa. So yes, some of the Ancient Egyptians were black. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5
2
@giannis_toupolemou Then your claim that the Egyptians are descendants of Phoenicians/Mesopotamians is false. Otherwise, Ramses III would not have a Sub-Saharan African haplotype. All empires are ethnically diverse but when we look at the specific haplotype of Egypt's elite throughout the 1st through 25th dynasties, like Tutankhamen, Tiye, Ramses III, Shemmai, Taharqa, etc. we see that they are in fact Native Africans. Not until later do we see the invasion of Assyrians and Greeks, leading to the collapse of Egypt.

@Maxrodon Hearsay about Septimius Severus not being black and being afraid of an Ethiopian is not scholarship. I want peer-reviewed academic research to provide evidence for these rumors. You say "it feels like a moot point" but why are you letting feelings get in the way of logical thought? The song says nothing about his eyes or continental origin. It's talking about his skin color. Eye color and continental origin are irrelevant. Black is not synonymous with African. There's no "claim to fame" since Cheddar Man was a European. The song isn't claiming that the people are relevant or irrelevant. It's just presenting the facts. For centuries, Darwinism and Eugenics have excluded black people from European history so it's ok to now recognize the truth. "I am black and beautiful." - Song of Solomon 1:5🙏🏾✝📖

@Maxrodon Wikipedia is not a peer-reviewed journal. I ask for scholarship, not rumors or hearsay. If you look at the Severan Tondo, you can clearly see that Severus had black skin. It's obvious that black isn't synonymous with African as Papuans, Dravidians, Jarawa Indians, and Australian Aboriginals are black as well. Yet none of these people are African. North Africa was not Arab during his time. The Arabs didn't come to North Africa until the Muslim invasions. Your thinking is anachronistic. The Netflix documentary is a completely different issue so let's just focus on 'Been Here from the Start' for now. I understand you, I just disagree. The song never said Cheddar Man was black by "today's standards". You've been brainwashed by Darwinism to think that black is a "race" and not a skin tone. This is a common misconception. Blue eyes weren't mentioned because they're irrelevant. The song was solely about skin tone. Skin tone is not irrelevant since that's the focus of the song. I'm not entitled, I'm just a student of history. Darwinism has spread lies about black people, saying we're "uncivilized" and "savage" and comparing us to gorillas. "At some future point in time, the civilized races of man will annihilate and replace the savage races: as the negro, the Australian, and the gorilla...the blood of some more humble creature flows in his veins." - Charles Darwin, the Descent of Man Also, the black contributions in Asia are well known. There was a black samurai in Japan named Yasuke. There's an abundance of anime and video game characters inspired by him. He's just one example.

@TheScience69 Africans ended legal slavery first actually. Moses, an Egyptian, was the first abolitionist in recorded history. He also started the Judeochristian system of property law that the British economy was founded upon. The infrastructure in Britain was also started by an African named Septimius Severus, who built the first paved road in Brittania. So, you might want to think twice about anyone giving back anything. I personally think the status quo of sharing is ok.

@annemurphy9339 Slavery remains a problem in Europe too. London and Amsterdam are major hubs for human trafficking. Moses wasn't just a Hebrew. He was also an Egyptian. Hebrews are Middle-Eastern but the Middle-East is partially in Africa. Moses's wife Sephora was Hebrew too and she was from Ethiopia. Solomon's wife, Shulumite, was a Hebrew too, from Semna, Sudan. "Caucasoid" is a Darwinist fantasy. It doesn't refer to any specific haplogroup, haplotype, or phenotype. It's outdated pseudoscience that inspired Eugenics and Aryanism.

Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour." - Leviticus 25:44-46 The KJV translation gives clearer picture than those unofficial mistranslations of the bible. “But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.” - Leviticus 19:34

@mish375 That's an interesting interpretation but you'll need to provide bible verses to back it up. Hosea 13:4 doesn't seem to be saying that God is bound to a particular country but that he revealed himself in a particular country. Even Abraham met the Lord face to face in the form of three men in Egypt. "The LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground" - Genesis 18:1-2 His first son, Ishmael, was also Egyptian. "And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation." - Genesis 21:17-18

@ghost-user559 No, you're confused. "Shulumite" (שׁוּלַמִּית) is the Hebrew female variant of the name corresponding to Solomon. It doesn't only refer to a locale (שְׁלֹמִית). It was common for wives to take the names of their husbands, just as it is now with surnames. Her Egyptian name is Sitamun. The scripture never said that she was poor, just because she kept a vineyard. King Charles III also does gardening yet he's not poor. If she was poor, she wouldn't be able to write this poem or contract a scribe to write it for her. She was the daughter of a pharaoh (1 Kings 3:1). As she was speaking poetically, the sun made her black as it does all black people in Africa. The sun makes everyone black, both metaphorically and dermatologically. But like I said, Sitamun (Karomama) is obviously black. Her statuette and other archeological evidence found at Sheba (Semna, Sudan) prove you wrong.
2
@ghost-user559 Being beaten does not invalidate her being a royal. Joseph was enslaved, imprisoned, and probably beaten too yet he became grand vizier and de facto Pharaoh of Egypt. And even the King of Kings, our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ, was beaten and crucified. Yet he is the most royal of royals and the holiest, Prince of Heaven. And again, if working in a vineyard is always low status work, why does King Charles III tend to his garden? It is possible to be a royal and also attend to a garden or vineyard. The scripture never said she was beaten in the streets. That's a gross exaggeration. She was wearing a veil so they probably didn't know it was her and thought she was a harlot. Having the face covered was associated with harlots (Genesis 38:15). You're jumping to conclusions and making outlandish assumptions. Being the wealthy daughter of a Pharaoh and being hit by a watchmen are not mutually exclusive.
2
@ghost-user559 “And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.” - Exodus 2:19 Why was Moses, an Egyptian prince, watering a flock? Isn't that "low status work"? If you apply your same logic to Moses as you do Shulumite, then Moses wasn't a royal either.
2
@ghost-user559 Not at all. I'm basing my theories on biblical evidence. You're making false accusations because you don't want to admit that Shulumite was black? You're also assuming that the initial meeting between Queen of Sheba and Solomon was the only one recorded in the bible. The bible also doesn't say that the three men who visited Abraham was the Holy Trinity, but we can logically conclude that based on the description. You have to read the scripture using your spiritual discernment. Also going to extrabiblical sources for archeological evidence helps as well, as scholars have done when finding Shulumite/Sitamun. Moses still watered the flock. So by your logic, he wasn't a royal. Shulumite keeping a vineyard and pasturing a flock is not unbridgeable to her being a royal. Also, why are queens and concubines praising Shulumite if she's just some poor, low class girl? What verse says explicitly that Shulumite is from Jerusalem? Being a direct relative of the Israelites and being foreigner are not mutually exclusive. Esther was a Persian, yet she was also a Hebrew. Moses was a Hebrew yet he was also an Egyptian. Sephora, the wife of Moses, was also a child of Israel, yet she was Ethiopian. "Moses married an Ethiopian" - Numbers 12:1 Israel was composed of many different African and Asian ethnic groups, including Kushites, Midianites, Egyptians, Hittites, Persians, Canaanites, etc. Even Jacob (Israel) lived in Egypt. So based on all the evidence Shulumite and the Queen of Sheba are the same woman. Even the archeological evidence proves that Sitamun, Queen of Semna is the very same Shulumite, Queen of Sheba recorded in the bible.

@alunevans380 That’s based on the false premise that one needs to have “Subsaharan DNA” to be black. Egypt is the cradle of African civilization.

The flaw in your thinking is that you assume Europe was unified during America's colonization. The British, French, Dutch, Moroccan Moors, Barbary Pirates, and various Amerindian tribes were fighting for control. The Revolutionary War saw French and British soldiers slaughtering each other, The American invasion of British Canada saw the same thing. So, yes America is a nation of immigrants; but it's also a nation of invaders and natives as well. Also, the United States was never constitutionally Christian. If it was Christian, it would've ended slavery like the British did. Britian has Christianity in its constitution. And Christianity is of African origin, not European.

@tjbooker8585 By who? Who else has examined his remains and determined that he was from a white-skinned Haplotype? I can't find any peer-reviewed genetics or paleoclimatological journals which contradict those placing him in Haplogroup U with high melanoctye production.

@howardjones7370 The Severan Tondo literally shows Severus with black skin. Google it and see for yourself. Cheddar Man is not sub-saharan African. Your argument is based on the false premise that only sub-saharans are black. Black skin is found everywhere, including among Jarawa Indians, Australian Aboriginals, and Papuans.

@DuvallBB Your knowledge of paleoclimatology and human genetics leaves much to be desired.

@treborkroy5280 It depends on the exact country. And albinos exist everywhere so technically, it's true that white people have always been everywhere.

@scottmitchell1974 Yes, actually.

@DuvallBB I wasn't aware that my words were big. I'll gladly use small words if you're having trouble understanding. First, "subsaharan" isn't a color. Black skin exists all over the world. Native Australians have black skin too but they're not subsaharan, for example. The Ice Age you're talking about is called the "Last Glacial Maximum". It just means the last period when glacier ice was the biggest and Earth was coldest. In between this time period, the Earth's distance from the sun lengthened and shortened many different times inconsistently. These are called "Milankovitch Cycles". These cycles lasted a short time so conditions weren't stable enough for Cheddar Man's genes to completely adapt to any specific environment. Evolution happens through brief spurts and fits, kind of like when a teenager goes through puberty. So, if a specific group of people with similar DNA (also called a "Haplogroup") enter a new environment that's constantly changing, their genes aren't going to immediately change. They won't suddenly mutate the appropriate adaptations for that environment. Europe had to have a more consistent period of cold in order for the migrating hunter-gatherers to become luciderms (also called "white people"). Cheddar Man is from a very old Haplogroup called Haplogroup U which reached Europe during a time of extreme cold and extreme hot due to Milankovicth Cycles. He simply didn't have the time, the genes, and the consistent cold necessary to become white. Haplogroup N came later and they had the genes and the cold that turned them white.

@magistar2243 I’m American so I have no horse in this race. Just stating the hard facts.
1
@magistar2243 All the academic, peer-reviewed journals I've read from Oxford and Rutledge say he's either black Roman or that he and his elite military units are black Romans. If you have any evidence against this record, I'd love to see it. Please prove me wrong. This incident of his encounter with the Aethiopian is hearsay. One of Severus' elite guardsmen was Aethiopian as well so the evidence contradicts this rumor. 'Been Here from the Start' doesn't say Britain was "culturally diverse" at all. You all keep imagining this strawman fallacy and attacking that, not actually paying attention to the lyrics of the song. On a personal note, I dislike the song. The singing is horrible, and it's clearly meant for children. Nonetheless, the lyrics are completely factual and backed by peer-reviewed academic literature and archeological and palaeoclimatological evidence.
1
@magistar2243 That's just another strawman fallacy. You're putting words on my keyboard and accusing me of claims I didn't make.
1
@magistar2243 "You consider anyone who isn't white "black."" I literally never said this. I never said anything that would imply it. You're just desperate to be right so you falsely accuse me of trolling. As I said before, I'm an American. What can I possibly gain by lying about British history?
1
@magistar2243 It's not dishonest. You just haven't yet been educated on contemporary anthropology. What you call "today's standard" is actually outdated Darwinism. It's a pseudoscience from a bygone era of Europe's history. You think "black" is a "race" when it's a skin tone. Many different haplogroups, haplotypes, and phenotypes include black skin globally. So, you would only view the song as dishonest if you still subscribe to the 19th century Darwinist concept of a "Black race". The song is about the skin color and nothing else. There is no attempt at revisionism in the video or the song. It's more revisionists to say that Anglo-Saxon identity is "British" when the Angles and Saxons actually originated in what is today known as Germany. They're Germanic originally, not indigenous to Britain. The song isn't an "assault" on anything, let alone African history. Black is not synonymous with African. When you realize this, you'll realize the song isn't revisionist. If white people made a "Been Here from the Start" about Africa, and they show Subsaharan albinos, Duarte Lopez, and Ptolemy, they too would be correct.

By your logic, he should be black too, just like his father. Black is not synonymous with Subsaharan. Even Australian natives are black and they’re not Subsaharan
1
@Compairholman Severan’s bust isn’t painted so you can’t determine skin color based on an unpainted bust. The Severan Tondo is the best example depicting his black skin.

1
@matthewleonard598 The song isn't claiming that black people worked in mines or got deployed to India. It's just mentioning Septimius Severus, Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, and Catalina of Motril. The song isn't about how "pitiful" or grand anyone's contributions are. It's just saying that they've been there from the start. I'm not British at all and have no British descent so it doesn't actually matter to me. Cheddar Man was likely too busy hunting to contribute anything prestigious or spectacular.
1
@hattmancock6396 It doesn't matter if they're servants or a Roman Empoeror, they're still black. You make the false premise that only sub-sarahan Africans are black. Black skin is found all over the world. The Jarawa of India and the Papua are black too but they're nowhere near Africa. Australian Aboriginals are also black. North Africa only became Arab after the Muslim invasions. I'm not British or African so I have no reason to be biased. I'm just presenting the hard facts.

@scorpio8963 I'm not confusing anything. Race is a fiction of pseudoscience. If we look at E1b1a, which is a haplogroup found most widely among Sub-Saharan Africans, and compare that the E1b1a found in Ancient Egyptian rulers like Ramses III and Tiye, we notice that they have the same exact haplogroup. So, it's not that Egypt is Subsaharan. It's that Subsaharans and Ancient Egyptians are both Native Africans.

@scorpio8963 Ok then, if "race" is real, what race was the Egyptian Pharaoh, Ramses III? What evidence do you have to back this up?
1
@giannis_toupolemou Mediterranean and African aren't mutually exclusive. Ramses III had many military campaigns throughout the Mediterranean, yet he's genetically from the E-M2 Haplogroup found most commonly throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
1
@giannis_toupolemou Even culturally, Egypt has more in common with Africans than it does with Phonecians/Mesopatamians. Egypt is the cradle of African civilization. There are more Kemetic pyramids in Sudan than there are in Egypt. We can look at a ruler like Ahmose-Nefertari and see the African cultural influence. Her curved sandals are more akin to the Kaab sandals worn in Somalia. Her ring braclets and those of her husband, Ahmose, are akin to the okpoho and idzilla rings worn throughout the Subsaharan. Her sleeveless dress is akin to the sleaveless dresses worn by the Ashanti of Ghana and Ivory Coast. Her usekh is akin to the ingqosha worn in South Africa. Her twisted dreadlocks are akin to Senegalese twists worn throughout the African diaspora. The African continent is like a puzzle of matching cultures that, when put together, perfectly match the culture of Ancient Egypt. So even if we put genetics, architecture, food, and linguistics aside, Ancient Egypt is more African than anything else.
1
@giannis_toupolemou No, Kemetic architecture influenced the Phoenicians and the Greeks actually. Columns, like the ones seen at Thebes or used by Imhotep, predate those found in Phoenicia, Minoa, and Mycenae by nearly 1000 years.

What's the lie? Everything in 'Been Here from the Start' is based on peer-reviewed academic research. It's completely factual.
1
@TT09B5 Not at all. This evidence goes all the way back to the 1980s.
1
Where's the lie? Septimius Severus, Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, and Catalina of Motril are real people in British history.
1
@shanetruffle You're operating under the false premise that only Sub-Saharans are black. Everyone named in the BBC song is black.
1
@28pbtkh23 The majority wants to keep it that way while still holding unto the wealth it gets from the nations it conquered. You can't have it both ways. If the British population wants to remain white, it'll have to stop trading with its former colonies and extracting the wealth of those nations. The British Empire made it's bed. Now lay in it.

@Judge_Magister I don't associate with Pagans. I associate with the Christian race. Just because he was black doesn't mean I associate with him. ✝ And despite him being a maniac, he did lay down the road infrastructure for Brittania.

@millerkillpuppy You know your history. Much respect to you sir and may God bless you. 🙏🏾✝🕊

Where's the lie? "Been Here from the Start" is completely based on facts from reputable archeology journals. Are you saying Septimius Severus, the Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, and Catalina of Motril aren't actual black historical figures?
1
@the_real_glabnurb Septimius Severus was born in African. The Severan Tondo clearly shows that he's black.
1
@ReturnOfHeresy I keep seeing the same baseless arguments being made against that horrible BBC song. The song sucks but at least its historically accurate.
1
@ogazm1865 There's no pretending. And the song isn't claiming that the part they play is significant or insignificant. It's just saying black people have been there. You're overreacting.
1
@ogazm1865 While you're there, don't falsely accuse people if they say the seminoles were Native American.
1
What's the lie? Septimius Severus, Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, Catalina of Motril, and Cheddar Man are actual people in British history.

@lebaggins10 A conqueror seems to be a subcategory of an immigrant.
1
@alunevans380 The Severan Tondo shows Severus having black skin. He was a native African. North African had not yet been invaded by Arab Muslims during his time. So he was a black native African. Black isn't synonymous with sub-saharan.
1
@garrywynne1218 There are black Berbers and black Carthaginians. Mediterranean and black are not mutually exclusive. Even in Italy, you had black knights and kings like Alexandre de Medici, though his reign was more recent.
1
@garrywynne1218 Prove me wrong.
1
@garrywynne1218 The term "mixed race" is as anachronistic as it is pseudeoscientific. The Darwinist concept of "race" hadn't yet been invented in Alexandre de Medici's time. Back then, race was based on religion. Berbers are literally African, doesn't matter the "context" I'm supposedly "suggesting". The fact that you admit their skin tone can range from white to black just proves my point. Marco Polo would be Chinese if he became a Chinese citizen, yes. You're further proving my point. It doesn't matter if they're "few and far between" or ubiquitous. 'Been Here From the Start' never made a quantitative argument. Noone is saying they're "established communities" or "common". You keep imagining these straw man fallacies and addressing them rather than addressing the actual arguments.
1
@alunevans380 One could claim North Africa was blacker during Roman times as well.
1
@garrywynne1218 The bust of Massanissa has no color. It’s not white or black.
1
@garrywynne1218 You can't tell someone's skin tone by their facial structure. Again, that's outdated Darwinism, a pseudoscience.
1
@justabloke1806 That's a strawman. Black is not synonymous with African.
1
'Been Here from the Start' is based solely on facts.
1
@henryburton6529 "You read my comment, made up an opinion you thought I had, and then argued against it." That's all they do. They can't argue against the actual point so they just invent a starwman fallacy. 🤣🤣🤣
1
@ddoherty5956 That seems like groundless paranoia. What's your evidence?
1
@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci What's your source for that? And assuming you're right, how is illegal immigration related to this paranoia about BMWW couples in ads?
1
@alejandromaldonado6159 How do you know that? You personally know the religious beliefs of the ad executives putting WWBM couples in ads?
1
@chancelewis6674 Israelites were mixed. Israel was composed of Canaanites, Egyptians, Kushites, and Hittites all worshipping the same God. Race was based on religion, not melanin.
1
@DarkAngel2512 I never said they did.
1
Where's the lie in the song? Are you saying Septimius Severus, the Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, and Catalina of Motril aren't actual black historical figures?
1
@1012-v9r If Severus wasn't black, why does the Severan Tondo depict him with black skin?
1
@elkpaz560 There is no "modern sense". Black skin is a skin tone, not a Darwinist construct of pseudoscience.
1
@user-lv5rd6kb5o Severus is literally black on the Severan Tondo.
1
What lies are in the song "Been Here From the Start"? Septimius Severus, Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, Catalina of Motril, and Cheddar Man all seem to be based in fact.
1
@1012-v9r Give me evidence showing him with skin that's not black. In all the archeological representations of him, his skin is depicted being black. Either you don't have any evidence, or you don't want to admit that he was black. The former seems most likely.
1
@bretave7379 Not a comedy act, just hard facts.
1
The song doesn't say anything about "Africans". The only African mentioned in the song is Emperor Septimius Severus. All the other black people mentioned are black Europeans. Your fallacy is called a "straw man fallacy". You're attacking a falsified argument.
1
@jamesdunn9609 If it's insanely incorrect to say black people were always in Britain, provide peer-reviewed academic evidence disproving it.
1
@ronmastrio2798 Logic dictates nothing. Looking at the hard evidence.

But that would be true too. Pharaoh Siamun and Pharaoh Ptolemy were both white African rulers in Egypt. The ancient world wasn't as segregated as you might think. Black people have always been in Europe just like white people have always been in Africa.
1
@windycityliz7711 Cleopatra was Greek and Egyptian. Ptolemy, her father, was Greek, while her mother was Egyptian. So, she was likely brown, not white or black.
1
@windycityliz7711 Yeah, I don't really care about Cleopatra. I just know based on the evidence, she wasn't white though other Pharaohs like Siamun and Ptolemy were.
1
@windycityliz7711 Not really. Simply looking at artistic representations of her that show her skin tone clearly show she's not white. There's a painting of her and her son Caesarion from the time she ruled. Both are depicted with brown skin.
1
@Verdent777 Ramses hair was dyed red from henna. The only Pharaoh that may have been pale was Ptolemy. But all others, from Amemhat to Caesarian, were black/brown.
1
@simonhadley8829 You joke but you just described Duarte Lopez. White people were in African from the start too, including Congo.
