All along I thought whites invented this, man big ups..

Just noted this

Any more things we invented that whites line themselves by to make it seem they created the shyts

Breh that region looks nothing like it did back then. We're talking 3,000 years at least of trading, wars, imperialism, etc. Just look at the Crusades. That's one of the main reasons the region looks like it does now. Real talk the people in America don't even look like they did 200 years ago so what do you expect would happen in another region over several thousand years?

Exactly, that's like saying the ancient Native-Americans were white because of the current U.S. population

 

[NO-BadAzz]

No one really knows what Hannibal looked like because multiple groups had different depictions of him.

If anything I'm guessing he looked racially Ambiguous.

Oh word,

You know white ppl use that "Don't know know what such and such or who invented such and such"

White ppl use that phrase all the time,

 

[NO-BadAzz]

The punics were known for there trading. Africans or Indians could've trading with them. Now if this true it leave white nay Sayers in a conundrum because they would have to acknowledge that people in Carthage were actively trading and building with groups in the interior of Africa and dispels there notion that subsaharans where backwards people living in huts. They also said once Carthage was distroy they tried to rebuild further in the interior of Africa. So cacs can claim them but if they do would have to accept them trading with "negros" down south and that they moved into the interior of Africa not to the "Middle East" .

And to piggy-back on your thinking, it's like saying Italy coin "gators" when we all know alligators are nowhere in Italy

I guess Italians traded for alligators too

I've already said multiple times on this forum that I'm Haitian. Not White.

How is it we know the races of pretty much every smallfry from ancient times but one of the most prolific military generals in history who earned the respect of nations and kings is "up for debate"?

Hannibal of all people don't got some detailed descriptions? Or maybe all recordings were 'lost' by white supremacist historians

The depictions of his people are sandcacs and the depictions of him ate mixed. His mom was black iirc but I think his pops was from the Arabian pensuila

 

[#SOG_soldier]

So you are going to pretend that you didn't ask a poster to prove that the Romans called him Black?

You are going to pretend that you didn't ask me why the Romans would lie?

As if the Romans are the only ones who can verify this information for you.

As if the Romans have never distorted the racial history of its Empire.

As if the Romans didn't intentionally delete all information about Carthage from their known world.

As if there aren't groups of people who were assimilated into the Roman Empire with no evidence of those folks original race.

But Rome knows best




Touché



Since when?

Point me in the direction of those monuments...

Not about to look for it but I remember doing on that old spike TV show about ancient warriors that many Roman generals looked up to Hannibal since he was giving them hell with a ragtag army

 

[Blackqueergenius]

Hannibal most likely looked like a darker skinned syrian or something, he wasn't "black." With that said who cares if a black man plays him? It's better that than some European, and actually pretty refreshing.

fukk OFF CRACKA YOU ARENT BLACK STEP OFF bytch, DUMB ANIMAL

Stop letting the people distort your history.

That's not my history.

This is a fukking lie. They destroyed the original Carthage and poured salt into ground to ensure that no life form existed on that land ever again. The new so called Roman Carthage was in no way shape or form similar to the old school carthage, and they damn sure weren't erecting accurate statues celebrating the heroes of old Carthage in this new Roman CACarthage.

The Romans destroyed the old carthage and the vast majority of the relevant historical documents. That was no accident.

You're repeating a historical myth. There was no salt plowed into the earth. This takes two seconds to find out.

Third Punic War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That Roman forces then sowed the city with salt to ensure that nothing would grow there again is almost certainly a 19th-century invention.[17] Contemporary accounts show that the land surrounding Carthage was declared ager publicus and that it was shared between local farmers, and Roman and Italian ones. North Africa soon became a vital source of grain for the Romans. Roman Carthage was the main hub transporting these supplies to the capital.

^ Ridley, R.T., "To Be Taken with a Pinch of Salt: The Destruction of Carthage," Classical Philology vol. 81, no. 2 (1986).

The fact that you refer to Roman Carthage as "CACarthage" just proves the futility of this whole thread -- trying to assign modern, nonscientific concepts of race to ancient peoples.

Again, it's pointless to argue with people who don't care enough to verify the historical narrative they have in their heads.

I'm not even arguing that Hannibal was "white" -- only that nobody alive today knows what Hannibal looked like. But of course this thread is full of typical Colispeak about Romans intentionally whitewashing Carthaginian history, even though Romans wouldn't have even considered themselves to be "white people."
