And if they want to go back in history, why not hold REAL sub-Saharan black skinned heroes?
Like
Pharaoh Shabaka of the 25th dynasty - the Nubians who conquered Egypt and restored much of its cultural heritage after the Assyrian conquest
King Mansa Musa of the Mali empire
Or the great Ethiopian rulers like Yekuno Amlak
or the way that Christianity was preserved in Nubia and sudan until the 12th century when it was snuffed out by the Mohammedans --> I strongly recommend The Faras gallery at the National museum in Warsaw, Poland
All slavers.
