If Cleo were black, would Julius Caesar?
Arguing that Cleo was black would even Shaka Zulu.
I always heard that Presley might have Melungeon background.
Many years ago, I found a book (in a University library!) that had been published by one of the Black Supremacist groups.
It contained pictures and drawings of various Egyptian monuments, statues of Pharaohs, etc., that were characterized as ‘proof’ that the ancient Egyptians were Black.
Most of the pictures were misattributed, and anyone with any attentive interest in ancient Egyptian art would have seen that. The book was just propaganda.
A lot of people think a lot of things. Doesnât mean itâs worth the time of day.
I had to look that up.
Wiki has a long but interesting article about melungeons.
It’s wild that they had so many categories for mixed racial people down south.
I guess it’s kind of like Cajun, a mixture that results in beautiful and talented people.
it’s history...
I think Ava Gardener has been thought to have had a Melungeon background, as well as Abraham Lincoln.
If you look up old pictures of Melungeons, they do tend to be very attractive, with especially lovely eyes.
(I think there are Melungeon websites, now.)
Elizabeth Taylor was definitely White

Speaking of âpuffed upâ, I am still mildly amused that it canât be just âMartin Kingâ, it has to be âThe Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Juniorâ

Well, it is labelled as a documentary
I watched that movie again last year. It’s awfully dated.
We need a new one.

Actually, according to the Bible the Egyptians and the Blacks had a common ancestor, Ham. However, the Egyptians were by no means sub-Saharan — and this is what upsets the Blacks, who desperately want claim to some great civilization. Therefore, they’ll “blackwash” anything for the sake of self-esteem.
I don’t think Taylor made a very convincing Cleopatra. Historical commentators tell us that the Queen wasn’t really beautiful at all - she ensnared men by her charm, wise ways, and theatricality, instead; and she was apparently highly educated.
There must be somebody who would make a good one in a new blockbuster movie...
He’s talking about Netflix and their programming, in general, not being compatible with Islam.
I’m not mixed up. 100 percent pure honky.
Egypt had the Nile River with its rich farmland and, more importantly, the Mediterranean Sea. Natural Resources and access to trade — a winning combination for prosperity.
Sub-Saharan Africa had few navigable rivers or ocean harbors. They were screwed.
