I appreciate the videos, breh. But the 1st 3 felt more like white people bytching about "why it can't stay white?" then the actual details of how greece culture was influenced by africans.

But I do like that fact that Black = fertile, life, plentiful.
its also insulting stupid... ok. fine if you wanna do symbolism... I'll even accept that there was modern skin tones back then of Egyptians. Fine.
But there were HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of years between representations BLACK pigmented leaders on the throne. TO say that that symbolism carried through and not that it represented the actual representation of the leaders themselves is preposterous.

There's no need to be as dumb as you are. If Africa is the birthplace of modern man, then it makes sense that the color black could also represent life, fertility, and plentifulness. Since in a way, it already does.
Now just because some arab broad can't see past her racism to put the two together doesn't mean I have to follow. But you're too limited to understand that.

But it didn’t. Painting statues black was a sign of death and eternal life.
Also Athena was based off of the Egyptian goddess Hathor.
Hypothetical
If Athena was Black how does that impact your life today?
