Very interesting investigating the accomplishments of blacks in the ancient world.The joke is Hannibal a great general was black.He came from Carthage what is North Africa today.He conquered a town one day in Europe and the next morning half the occupants were black such a sexual reputation he had.A more (hee hee) interesting study was Septimus Severus a Roman Emperor (145-211AD).He came from the same region in North Africa.A place known as Leptis Magna.It is now established this chappie was black.White historians who traditionally see blacks as slaves with an inferior mental capacity have struggled to explain this.You see ladies and gents the Romans never apparently had a problem with a black face.They referred to black Africans as Nubians.The colour of skin didnt pose a question in the ancient world at all.So where did this nonsence come from? It came from the bastard stinking racist British Empire 1500 years later.The white Anglo Saxons.Chappie Septimus was black African.Had to be.This was long before the brown skinned Arabs conquered North Africa in the 7th century AD.Septimus died in Britain in 211 AD.A early Black "immigrant" in Britain one of many in the ancient world.A black Roman Emperor..when the England was a colony of the Roman Empire.Imagine that.
