>>We don’t definitely know what ancient Greeks would look like, but they sure as hell wouldn’t look like the ‘white’ actors we normally see either
To be fair this is true. Not to mention Meds are more tanned in general. So much some look like they're outright mixed, but obvious lack black features.
How come people think it's either pale white skin or dark black skin and that nothing else ever existed?
Why did they not cast a chinese actor? We don’t know what greeks looked like after all.
/pol/ BTFO how will they ever recover?
because people are morons who also think there were never white slaves in history
>We don't know what Greeks look like
>What do you mean Greece still exists?
>Not only were the historical Greeks unlikely to be uniformly pale-skinned
Based on what?
Ancient greeks were xenophobic as fuck and considered blacks are cursed people.
Mediterraneans =/= blacks
Spanish, italians and even some of south french have tan skin, but in no way they're like the niggers on that pics.
The truth is africans have no history compared to other cultures around, Arabs included.
>Mycenean Greece
>Greece
please learn the fucking difference, /pol/tard
These are the same retards who think only whites and blacks exist.
>WHITES ARE DOING BETTER THAN BLACKS IN EVERY CATEGORY

Take that white devil
Yes Yes, all were niggers, I don't like that, make them whites instead
Odysseus, king of Ithaca, Achaean hero at Troy and protagonist of Homer’s Odyssey, is generally considered as swarthy. However, this can be tempered. Although he is described as white skinned and “dark bearded” in The Odyssey, his hair is hyakinthos, i.e., color of hyacinths. Traditionally this color was translated as “brown” but it was also said that the hyacinths grown in Greece were of a red variety. If true, that would make Odysseus red-haired.
What level of irony is this?
kek yeah right and trannies don't 45% of the time kill themselves.
mistranslation. he is dark skinned

>WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE

>The truth is africans have no history compared to other cultures around
Wrong, Egypt and Cartago have history, but they are "white", niggers had that guy that discovered a fuckton of gold in Mali and sold everything and the people from Sudan, and i think that's all because Africa was almost empty before the XIX
That's rite sucka
“Dark skinned” to an Ancient Greek probably meant tanned from being out in the sun. If he was black they would have just said “African”.
quite the opposite, if anything, ancient Greeks were whiter than todays Greeks, but why would anyone care about historical accuracy if he has an agenda to sell of course
Troy predates ancient Greece
why would they say "african" you fucking spastic? That term didn't exist. They called it Libya for one.
Odyssey was black, deal with it
OBSESSED
>implying Ethiopia isn’t named after the mythical Iliad people
I guess Amazon natives are femdom warriors too.
Lynch journalists.
How the hell are chimps this delusional. They literally contributed nothing and have been slaves for over two thousand years LMAO
ethiopia literally means 'burnt face people'
>but their world was also home to ‘Ethiopians’
It wasn't?
Why do they lie like this?
This
>the term Africa didn't exist
>they meant Libya
>this means sub-Saharan nigger
LOL
Ethiopians are mentioned in The Odyssey. Poseidon visits them
Go back, reddit nigger.
Because they contributed nothing. It's impossible for you to be able to perceive what it's like to be part of a race that has done zero things. Every other race has people to look up to.
OBSESSED
If he was Black why wouldn’t they have just called him Libyan? Furthermore, why would a Libyan consult with the gods? They were seen as cursed and evil, surely one of them wouldn’t be in the gods favor?
Based, the Greeks were black.
It's not a mistranslation. According to askhistorian the ancient greeks would have looked largely what what they look like today.
>>We don’t definitely know what ancient Greeks would look like
this is such a bullshit argument. they try and use it for egyptians in the brain dead "we wuz kangz" arguments too. guess what? they almost definitely sill look a lot like the same people who live there now and have been living there for thousands of years.
>>In the Odyssey, Odysseus is said to be ‘black-skinned and woolly-haired’
he's also described as having "xanthros" hair at one point, which translates to blonde. this is also purposely removing the entire context of the ancient greeks and their weird linguistic color schemes and the fact that their words for "black" and "white" are gendered and not used for literal color descriptions.
KANGS
They sure as hell did not look like sub saharan niggers. Next.
because Homer literally refers to him as black
>it's a nordcuck thread
Show me the passage where Homer says that Odysseus is a black man, not “dark-skinned” but straight up black.
>Cartago
Was run by semitic peoples. Egypt too, and later by Greek/Macedonian dynasty. Not to say that Africa did not have other states tho.
They say the "greeks home".
Indeed they mention ethiopians, but there's never a mention that they were settled in greece.
And why cast west africans as ethipans anyway? They bullshit us about the fact that Greece wasn't white because "muh tanned", however it's perfectly fine to cast black people who look nothing like ethipians?
it is literally in the OP you spastic
>In the Odyssey, Odysseus is said to be ‘black-skinned and woolly-haired’ – at one point we’re told that Athena makes him beautiful by restoring his natural black skin colour [see, Odyssey 16.175]
This makes no sense. Why would a Norduck look up to the Greeks, Romans and Macedonians?
He's just dumb and lacks the ability to comprehend why he's constantly wrong about everything.
>/pol/
>out of absolutely nowhere
Be careful. You'll end up like me and so many others here, as the evidence piles up in front of you. I was a shitposter when I first came to /pol/ for some "epic Nazi trolling" and, within a year, found I agreed with about half of what was discussed. By the end of the second year I was indistinguishable from the rest.
The terrible truth of /pol/ is that it's as liberating as it is horrific.
You lie to yourself less, but you begin refusing to accept the lies from others - even well-meaning others. Your personal relationships with the few people you can stomach to be around, will suffer and degrade under the stress of the constant need to suppress your power-level. In the truth you'll be sickened at the world, yet constantly drawn to seeking this same truth. It's a counter-"hugbox".
/pol/ is the Hurt Box.
Instead of locking out reality in your "hugbox" like a progressive, you'll force yourself into this hurt-box on a regular basis. /pol/ is a self-inflicted and intellectual masochism, as the price of placing the truth above all else.
You could have prevented this.
lmao
Being part of race that hasn’t contributed to society doesn’t matter when a race that is so genetically cucked will help you out in anyway they can
Show me the excerpt from the text, please.

Niggers didnt exist in europe for most of recorded history. The only solace i get if the white race goes is that every other race hates niggers once whites stop protecting them they are gone.
>Trust this lefty bullshitter to prop up his bullshit
>n no he wasn't blond, we swear!
Hecataeus of Miletus (c. 500 BC) is also said to have written a book about Aethiopia, but his writing is now known only through quotations from later authors. He stated that Aethiopia was located to the east of the Nile, as far as the Red Sea and Indian Ocean; he is also quoted as relating a myth that the Skiapods ("Shade feet") lived there, whose feet were supposedly large enough to serve as shade
The ancient greeks thought people with gigantic feet lived there. Like mythical creatures
>posts proof
>MUH LEFTHY ARRGGGGHH
cope
this has gotta be bait
>snopes.com
Yes, Phoenicians came from the Lebanon but they were in all North Africa
the actual line from the book calls him "melanokhroos", which new and more accurate translations call "rugged" or "tanned" rather than the extremely literal "black-skinned" which is out of context according to how the ancient greeks used colors for gender rather than race (they didn't have much language relating to racial divides and they didn't encounter enough people of different races for their identification to be linguistically common)
>Yea Forums BTFO
Never happened.
That show bombed like hell, though. Always nice to see people waste their effort on such trash. No one wants to see tarbabies. Not even tarbabies want to see tarbabies.
Bullshit. She makes him beautiful by restoring his color because he was flush from being cast to sea. Nowhere is his natural “black” color mentioned.
>16.172 As she spoke she touched him with her golden wand. First she threw a fair clean shirt and cloak about his shoulders; then she made him younger and of more imposing presence; she gave him back his color, filled out his cheeks, and let his beard become dark again. Then she went away and Odysseus came back inside the hut. His son was astounded when he saw him, and turned his eyes away for fear he might be looking upon a god.
16.181
My point still stands, they were brown/meds. Same as ancient greeks.
It's always the way with these articles, absolute pedantry.
>no you silly racist he wasn't blonde, xanthē can mean golden or yellow or straw as well so THERE!
terrible translation
>whites are the only people who hate blacks
They looked mediterrainian, why the fuck wouldnt they?
So dont cast any blonde swedish looking actors but stop with forcing sub saharan africans into european culture and history.
Ot at least be fair in your retardation and cast fillipinos and samoans as well.
Yes. We know already that greek, turks and egypts had the mediterean skin tone. I dont know why they try to make them all black or "its history, we never know".
We have pictures and mosaics that show them tanned. Why should take exceptions, which were never proofed?
With this logic we can agree that god is real, all famous black civilizations were tanned and devolved as black skinned people over took their civilisation.
You know, user - that's a really funny way of saying "in the last twenty years since the Internet became accessible to just about everybody, we have worked mercilessly to find out what you probably knew but didn't want to address - that the Rothschild Family, George Soros and a host of other soulless individuals have been working non-stop for the last 250 years, from generation to generation, to destroy every non-Jew on this planet and create a paradise for themselves, and themselves only."
I'm pretty sure that's what you meant, right? Right?
Pro-tip, sonny. There's no "middle ground" anymore. They control the banks. They control the media. They control your "entertainment" that you talk about here on Yea Forums. They control everything and use unethical and immoral means to continue controlling it.

>With this, Athena touched him with her golden wand.

Then, when she had wrought thus, she departed, but Odysseus went into the hut. And his dear son marvelled, and, seized with fear, turned his eyes aside, lest it should be a god.
It’s not like black people were pushing for this to happen
Achilles is explicitly described as blonde many times through the Iliad IIRC.
why are the british so obsessed with black men? they only make up 1.5% of the UK population.
they want to sell movies to white people, white people now like the diverse shit, if they wanted accuracy they should cast this instead
you may go to the famous city. Nor will I myself be long away from you, for I am eager for the battle.” With this, Athena touched him with her golden wand.

>Greeks, Romans and Macedonians
Because they're cucks, there's no other explanation.
he (and odysseus for that matter) are described as xanthos, which translates vaguely to blonde, golden, or ruddy light-brown colors.
reminder Minoans were black
the Mycenean greeks did not seem them as strangely skinned
therefore they were black

Your culture and history will be supplanted until all that you know will be a "lie". In the coming years they will push this more and more and force Historians to handwave the facts if they wish to keep their jobs.

They aren't. A small set of delusional PC freaks who work in the media because they aren't smart enough to do anything else are. They're the ones who demand diversity, not the Brit population.

That's Americans, they are ones forcing diversity quotas and influencing British media.

Americanisation has also taught black people in the UK to act like African-Americans. That's why race relations have become so poor here - adopted victimhood from seeing shit happen in the States and then pretending it happens here too.

This is the ideal Greek warrior. You may not like it, but this is what peak Odysseus looks like.
I think even the people making the show know deep down that none of these characters are black, they just need to pick and make one or two of them black to fulfil diversity quotas. That's why these articles are so infuriating and dishonest. Why not just give the real reason for why these characters are black, instead of pretending that the text is in anyway open to interpretation.
>We don’t definitely know what ancient Greeks would look like
The Greeks made sculpture. The painted themselves on pottery. They put their images on coin.
Much like the other ancient tribes, they depicted their males as darker than their females. Real men worked outdoors and were tanned, while they provided for their women, who kept themselves away from the sun.

Being right-wing is literally the most cucked thing you can do. Become a collectivist and work with your fellow comrades towards a golden future.
but americans don't force nearly as much "diversity" as the BBC for example, despite having over 4x as many blacks (and not even the "good" blacks, but american blacks which by and large are infinitely worse). they don't even have literal diversity quotas in US casting.
old niggers still have black skin
it makes no sense for him to lose his black skin to the point athena needs to restore it.
I'm not English and it's just the truth of the matter, I'm speaking from the perspective of a New Zealander who sees Polynesians and Maoris LARPing as American blacks even though they're Asians and I'm sure Australians see the same shit with Abos. The entire West is infected by this shit but especially the Anglosphere because there's no language barrier to protect us from your cancerous media

Proto-Greeks came from Ukraine probably around 2000-1800 BCE. This was a time of the destruction of local Greek cultures and the appearence of new cultural traits. Original Greeks were related to Indo-Aryans and Armenians (there is a proposed relation between Greek, Iranian and Armenian languages). They probably used chariots like Sintashta from Kazakhstan (depictions in Mycenaean art). It seems like many tribes settled in the Balkans, some of them mixed with the locals and Cretan Minoans and formed Mycenaeans, others remained more to the North and very likely mixed with more Northern groups derived from proto-Celts (such as Urnfield).
They weren't black. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Dorians were closer to Germans or Slavs than to modern Greeks.
We also see this phenomenon in Germany with the Turks and Arabs. They all want to be African rappers although a language barrier is protecting us. It almost seems like lesser creatures all want to become niggers.
We have no idea what these people looked like.
Those are all Byzantine Greek recipes.
Of course it's always the britcucks doing this shit. Why are people even surprised?

Third Position is an ideology that was developed in the 20th century by political parties including Terza Posizione in Italy and Troisième Voie in France. It emphasizes opposition to both communism and capitalism. Advocates of Third Position politics typically present themselves as "beyond left and right" while syncretizing ideas from each end of the political spectrum, usually reactionary right-wing cultural views and radical left-wing economic views.

I was talking about the original Dorians. By the time of Greek civilization they were probably already quite mixed. All our Greek samples are similar and more Southern than modern Greeks (maybe thanks to the Slavs).

Gee... I wonder why...

How what that a vague term, Jesus.
You know who knew what ancient Greeks looked like? Ancient Greeks. And since they depicted themselves and their gods way different than Memnon, who was an ancient nigger well known to Greeks, it's safe to say ancient Greeks where not niggers
Women were described/idealized as pale and men as tan or swarthy. It was seen as the preferred standard for both and skintone was thus gendered in a sense - if you've ever seen or heard of Amazons being tan it's because of their masculine qualities.
If they chose to put Memnon in an adaptation, it'd be proper if he was black. Funny thing is that he was completely excluded in Troy: Fall of a City.
I said shows about Greek mythology. In general black people don’t need to ask to be in regular media because there’ll always be the one token black character in pretty much any tv show or movie you watch
no, he wasn't blonde! he was golden! Gold can mean black with black hair!
gold = black
It's pasta actually, and pretty spooky if you read it. It's a man basically explaining his collapse into extremism and paranoia by his inability to look away from overt propaganda and lies for entertainment.
As much as I love black dick I wish niggers would just realize that they're here to please the gallery, not pretend that they're anywhere near the level of other races when it comes to civilization. Their contribution is their cocks and that's all that matters. I truly believe that in fifty years time, taking black cock will be a pastime like any other and people will look at you weird if you don't do it.
What is white?
Literally rewriting history
>western "men"
lmao y'all niggas are sad can't wait for Vlad and Xi to take over

>>WTF they're blackwashing our 100% white European history
So are asians white or black then user?
Good lord, the mental gymnastics required for your average diversity cuck are Olympic level.
You do realize he has a family tree made up entirely of Greeks, right? His father is king of Ithaca, an Argonaut and hero in his own right. His great grandfather married the daughter of the founder of Athens. This is worse than just making characters black to make black people feel less worthless, now you're actually trying to rewrite history and using the translation of one word while throwing out a family line that reaches back to the very foundations of the Greeks.
Literally king of ethipoia. nobody here said he was white u doublenigger.
Math was never my strong-suit, but if the top 20% of blacks are only smarter than 50% of whites (as opposed to 80%), then the average intelligence of whites is higher.
>/pol/ is one person that lives in my head
cool it down with the racism
Even in that cherry-picked picture you see whiter ones behind those guys. People in Southern Europe generally tan during summer if they spend a lot of time outdoors.
Also I hope you see a difference between them and actual black Africans.
Kek, fuck off to reddit nigger.
No. Memnon wasn't black, he was a Kassite. They were Middle Eastern people with possible Indo European elite.
>Herodotus was almost certainly referring to Kassites when he described "Ethiopians [from] above Egypt" in the Persian army that invaded Greece in 492 BC.[15] Herodotus was presumably repeating an account that had used the name "Kush" (Cush), or something similar, to describe the Kassites; "Kush" was also, purely by coincidence, a name for Ethiopia. A similar confusion of Kassites with Ethiopians is evident in various ancient Greek accounts of the Trojan war hero Memnon, who was sometimes described as a "Kissian" and founder of Susa, and other times as Ethiopian. According to Herodotus, the "Asiatic Ethiopians" lived not in Kissia, but to the north, bordering on the "Paricanians" who in turn bordered on the Medes. The Kassites were not geographically linked to Kushites and Ethiopians, nor is there any documentation describing them as similar in appearance, and the Kassite language is regarded as a language isolate, utterly unrelated to any language of Ethiopia or Kush/Nubia,[16] although more recently a possible relationship to the Hurro-Urartian family of Asia Minor has been proposed.[17] However, the evidence for its genetic affiliation is meager due to the scarcity of extant texts.

Greek here. We still use the word xanthē today and it means blonde / light-colored
>in-house BBC magazine participates fully in BBC blackwashing programme
Well, colour me surprised.
>‘Black’ (melas) and ‘white’ (leukos) are also – importantly – gendered terms: females are praised for being ‘white-armed’, but men never are. This differentiation finds its way into the conventions of Greek (and indeed Egyptian) art too, where we find women often depicted as much lighter of skin than men. To call a Greek man ‘white’ was to call him ‘effeminate’. Conversely, to call Odysseus ‘black-skinned’ might well associate him with the rugged, outdoors life he lived on ‘rocky Ithaca’.
So to ask whether Achilles and Odysseus are white or black is at one level to misread Homer. His colour terms aren’t designed to put people into racial categories, but to contribute to the characterisation of the individuals, using subtle poetic associations that evaporate if we just plump for ‘blond’ rather than ‘brown’, ‘tanned’ rather than ‘black’ (and vice versa). Greeks simply didn’t think of the world as starkly divided along racial lines into black and white: that’s a strange aberration of the modern, Western world, a product of many different historical forces, but in particular the transatlantic slave trade and the cruder aspects of 19th-century racial theory. No one in Greece or Rome ever speaks of a white or a black genos (‘descent group’). Greeks certainly noticed different shades of pigmentation (of course), and they differentiated themselves from the darker peoples of Africa and India, sometimes in aggressively dismissive terms that we would now call racist; but they also differentiated themselves from the paler peoples of the North (see Hippocrates’ On Airs, Waters, and Places). Greeks did not, by and large, think of themselves as ‘white’.
Where are Amazons?
>Calafia is a pagan warrior queen who ruled over a kingdom of Arabic women living on the Island of California (an island off the coast of Asia). Calafia is convinced to raise an army of women warriors and sail away from California with a large flock of trained griffins so that she can join a Muslim battle against Christians who are defending Constantinople.
>he doesn't know Alexander had blonde men with him
That's actually what happened. It was something like they didn't find pale pigment in the area of DNA they expected it to be in, so instead of searching for it elsewhere they just said he was super dark-skinned. What they don't tell you is that this means that according to them, cheddar man had the blackest skin humanly possible. A man from northern Europe apparently had darker skin than every African in the world like some inverted albinism.
>not white = black
No, they'll colour you black.
Sorry Stavros it means black now okay sweatie?!
You can thank the American education system and the bergsteins in Hollywood.
God you are fucking retarded.
>what is banter
>In the Odyssey, Odysseus is said to be ‘black-skinned and woolly-haired’ – at one point we’re told that Athena makes him beautiful by restoring his natural black skin colour
I've read every single page of this book in my teenage year and I'm absolutely sure that this is not in the book.

>theres no such thing as ancient Greek art
Yeah, sure, this article is great for someone who never took history class and just learned about the city of troy from the BBC.
They cant just use a good argument like troy might not even be a real city, but ok.

Stop picking Southern and Midlands paki hellholes mate.
Want to know the real reason the Ancient Greeks didn't have to differentiate between Blacks and Whites like the modern world does? Because they didn't have a bunch of nogs living on welfare and stabbing or shooting each other.
>We don’t definitely know what ancient Greeks would look like
Unironically what the fuck did he mean by this? Even literal children know about greek statues and art
He wasn't, it was fake news and the corrections were never published by most shit news

FUCK NIGGERS
Who the fuck cares, nobody except brain damaged fruitcakes want to see a bunch of niggers.
UK, Germany, the Benelux and France have been promotting mass migration to Europe since the 60s, other Western European Countries since the 90s like Spain Italy Austria, it is what they want, who cares
Mask of agamemnon has nothing to do with Agamemnon. That mask is 500 years older than the Trojan war if it even occurred

And? They knew what blond Greeks looked like.
Greece is actually whiter now than they were during the Mycenaean era. Mycenaeans cluster near modern Greeks but shifted slightly towards the Middle Eastern cluster.
>Burgers
It's the amerimutts obsessed with BBC. Really strange considering their hatred towards them.
>cant even read a whole post
But youre so smart.
There is history but most African Americans could give less of a shit and are so out of touch with their roots they latch onto whatever ever culture seems cool and claim it as theirs.( Ex: Egyptians)
I mean, most african americans cant even tell you part of the fucking continent of africa they descend from, much less anything about their ancestors' culture. They wear patterns on their clothes that look "african", and they're set. I mean, they consider Black Panther part of their culture now.
This perfectly highlights the intellectual dishonesty of the agents representing the globohomo agenda.
