Do you think Greeks were originally mostly black?

[NotaPAWG]

here is an Ancient Greek vase, I've seen the argument that ancient Greeks painted a lot of their figures as black even if they were white, but this one proves that theory wrong, there's also many other vases proving it wrong as well

Not only that, DNA wise Africans and Greeks share a lot a lot of traits, for example Benin Sickle cell, being more susceptible to Vitamin D deficiency, which gives credit to the argument that Greeks and Africans have more in common with each other than Greeks have with other Europeans ancestry wise

Also, Whites in America originally didn't even consider Greeks as white, the KKK targeted them. and there's lots of Ancient Greek writings of Greeks showing disdain for other Europeans, they considered them barbaric, stupid and behind the rest of "civilization" as opposed to Greek philosophers praising Egypt and being know to travel down to Africa and learn.

Why would Greeks have even have originally thought to have traveled down to Egypt (not having the access to even know what was going on down there) if they could have just travelled closer to their fellow Europeans and neighbors? Because Greece prior to Aryan-Greece was originally made up Of Africans who settled there

Yes

 

[Logmanjames]

No.

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

Definately not. Yall crazy if you think there was massive population movement in the past. Greece maybe was influenced by African culture through trade and whatever but they are not the same people.

[全能の神]

No but they were a lot darker than most people think.

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

During a certain time period yes. People migrate, go into slavery, or get their lands jacked

Through trade? No, Greeks were going down to Africa to learn science and math, they credited them for being the fathers of civilization, the sciences etc everything.

If there wasn't major population movements then how would Aryan Greeks would have even known that Egypt had all this knowledge? Or to even go down there and learn in the first place. Wouldn't it have made more sense to travel to their European neighbors?

 

[AlainLocke]

No...

Greeks are Indo-European...basically like Spaniards or Northern Indians or Russians


Greeks are just a different type of "White" people...

 

[NotaPAWG]

lol they had dark skin but were not black.

The idea of "black" was different then, though. White supremacys creation of race muddled things up. For example, many believed that Greeks and Italians were not white until whites needed them on their side and slowly allowed them to assimilate into the paradigm of "white-ness"

Because at the time it was easier to go on ships to the orient than to try and send parties into the wilderness of Germania, where they'd almost certainly be killed
