Comments on: The Black Romans — BBC Article http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/the-black-romans/ Rastafarian Views on Life, Politics and Social Issues Sat, 22 Nov 2008 07:30:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Richard http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/the-black-romans/#comment-24927 Richard Thu, 16 Oct 2008 02:19:25 +0000 http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/2006/06/29/the-black-romans/#comment-24927 I read and must respond! Herein I will avoid repeating some commentary that I have already made on the technological, molecular biological, archaeological, and logical arguments that clearly support the fact that the first modern people were black Africans, and that all present-day civilization rests on a black African foundation – please see my comments in response to “The Black Greeks” elsewhere on this website. But, here, to repeat just a bit, so-called “white” people demonstrate a failure to recognize certain basic principles and to actually think them through to a logical conclusion using basic human logic. It is a fallacy to assume that present-day populations in a given area necessarily look the same as ancient populations. The first anatomically modern humans, if they could somehow be transported to today, would be categorized as black: they looked more like modern “sub-Saharan” black Africans than any other modern-day group. How do we know? There is plenty of evidence. For instance (I cite other evidence elsewhere on this website; see above), it is possible to examine skeletal remains and determine whether the person was black: certain features of the long bones (e.g., the femur) as well as the skull, jaw, and arrangement of teeth are characteristically black African. Well, the oldest fossilized remains of modern humans found in what we call Europe were found in the Grimaldi caves in what is now France. These remains were examined about 100 years ago by “white” European scientists, who declared that the skeletons were indeed “Africoid.” Thus, the first modern humans in what is called “Europe” would be today categorized as black. But, that is not the case today. Clearly, at some point, “white” people arrived/appeared in Europe and interbred with (and perhaps also killed a good number of) the original black inhabitants. If the “white” newcomers are sufficiently numerous, well, the original black genetic contributions to populations of descendants would be overwhelmed (but not completely erased). In other words, in relatively few generations, ancient black populations can have “white” descendants. The problem is that in the US (for example), the definition of black (for the most part) follows the one-drop rule (the history of that is another discussion). So when a so-called “white” person (e.g. “TheTruth,” presumably…) spends his life looking at images of seemingly “white” people (e.g., ancient Romans) and then is told that these “white” “Romans” had black ancestors, his mind uses the one-drop rule to conclude that you have just called “Romans” black. To “TheTruth” this is an irreconcilable conflict, so one of the two statements must be rejected – and of course “TheTruth” – as do almost all so-called “white” people -- rejects the statement that would force him to think critically, and embraces the fallacy that makes him feel better. Critical thought is hard work. And thus too, do almost all “white” people refuse to recognize physical signs of black African ancestry in so many so-called “white” people. The “olive skin” so often attributed to modern-day “Italians” (Which kind of olive? Hell, folks can't mean the GREEN ones, can they?), the “curly” or “corkscrew” hair that can be found in any subgroup of “white” people (please do not forget the “frizzy” hair that so many “white” Jewish women hide by perming), the ability to “tan,” all derive from ancient and recent black African ancestry. Simple human logic: in the USA alone, tens of thousands of Africans “passed” into the “white” population over the past couple of centuries alone – they have “white” descendants. Now figure out how many – one person passes say, one hundred years ago. Assuming twenty-five years per generation, and underestimating a mere two children per couple per generation, that amounts to 16 “white” people today who do not know of their black African great-great grandparent. Multiply that by tens of thousands of times in the USA alone. Then ask yourself where you end up when you travel due south from say, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and Greece – Africa. Ask yourself how many black Africans (not slaves, but free, rich, and powerful, or just free and hard-working) lived in Europe and had children whose descendants today call themselves white. “TheTruth”, you may not invoke the word “Moor” as something other than black African. Allessandro deMedici, the first hereditary duke of Florence, was the son of Giulio deMedici (who later became Pope Clement VII) and a black woman named Simonetta daCollavecchio. His contemporaries nicknamed him “il Moro.” Clearly, to “Italians” even then, “Moor” meant “of black African ancestry.” “Moor” did not mean some mythical “swarthy but nevertheless white” population. Then ask yourself how one would categorize the “Moors” who ruled almost all of Iberia for over seven centuries. Ask yourself how many European/”white” people today have the surname “Moore” or “Maurice” or something of similar etymological origin. One reason surnames arose in “Europe” was to distinguish a John in one family from the fifty other Johns living in the same town. John the smith, as opposed to John the baker, became John Smith. So why would one man be named Moore? Or Black? Or Schwarz? What could possibly have distinguished the first Mr. Moore from his neighbors? Heh. Ask yourself about the” Arab”-run slave trade (ironically, “Arab” itself includes so many people of ancient and recent black African ancestry) that brought enslaved black Africans to “Europe” before “Europeans” even learned of the existence of the Americas. The “Portuguese” and “Spaniards” brought black Africans to live in Iberia, very often as concubines, BEFORE 1492. Where are the descendants of these black Africans? How many of them are there after 500 years? What do they look like? What about DNA analysis way back in 1989 that identified sub-Saharan African markers in over 4% of Sicilians tested (see Ann. Hum. Genet. 53(Pt 2):193-202)? The real percentage must be higher, as sample size was small, and any genetic markers, African or otherwise, can recombine out in as little as one generation. I repeat, modern-day “white” populations can be the descendants of ancient black populations, and can have had a constant influx of black African blood, and still call themselves ”white.” Modern-day “Egyptians” reject their black African ancestry, even when it is evident in their appearance and culture, because outside the USA, the one-drop rule works the other way around: if you can point to one “white” ancestor, then you call yourself “white.” Never mind the fact that statues and carvings of almost all Egyptian pharaohs clearly show black Africans, never mind the fact that Cheikh Anta Diop, a Senegalese physicist demonstrated back in the 1970s that the skin structure of mummified Pharaohs was consistent with black African skin structure, which indeed can be distinguished from non-black African skin structure. It is a fallacy to assume that black Africans never left Africa unless forced to by “white” people. Black Africans populated the world. This is supported by the fact that the modern-day populations of New Guinea, and the islands of “Melanesia”, to name two groups, still look like black Africans today. Other groups of black people changed in appearance (for reasons we have yet to ascertain) and gave rise to different populations whom we today categorize into “races.” Why is it possible to accept the fact that black people crossed large bodies of water 40,000 years ago, but not to accept the fact that black Africans, who built the first high-technology empire in human history, had the technology to repeatedly visit and settle in Europe over the past 5,000 years? There is a reason that “Italians,” though not categorized as black, were not considered “white” in the USA in 1900. There is a reason that Italians are even today often referred to as “guineas:” three countries in Africa are named Guinea – and they all populated by black Africans. “New Guinea” was thus named by the "Spaniard" Yñigo Ortiz de Retez. Why? Because the people there looked a lot like the people in Guinea – like black Africans. There is a reason why in northern Italy even today, many of the predominantly yellow-haired, blue-eyed, light-skinned residents have a saying: “Africa begins at Rome.” (The French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, over three centuries after the completion of the Renconquista of Iberia, asserted an interesting variant: “Africa begins at the Pyrenees.”) And if there is obviously a lot of black African blood amongst the “Italians” of today (and there is), then of course there were black “Romans.” Res ipsa loquitur.
