Is this true that the Buddha was black?

[blackzeus]

@blackzeus
Email these people and see what they think. I really want you to and then post what they say. However, I can tell by their "Research Interests" the connection with Africa probably hasn't been explored.

http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~marl/marl_people.htm

About what? The Olmecs? Anything in particular, or just ask if they think the Olmecs were black?

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

So the Olmecs weren't from Africa

No.

And if you look at the heads from a different angle, you'll see that they are mongoloid......

The Pre-historic Africans didn't even colonize Madagascar (Indonesians did), much less another continent almost 3,000 miles away.

^^^^you mean the Lloyd Banks look-a-like? I can't take much more of this. You are denying blatant evidence. So now the statues themselves aren't evidence?

Yes immense evidence and criticism of these speculative "theories."

Nigel Davies - Voyagers to the New World - points out the lack of evidence.

Nordic origins
Detail of the carved portrait nicknamed "Uncle Sam" by researchers

According to Michael Coe, explorer and cultural diffusionist Thor Heyerdahl claimed at least some of the Olmec leadership had Nordic ancestry, a view at least partly inspired by the bearded figure, often referred to as "Uncle Sam",[33] carved into La Venta Stela 3, whose apparent aquiline nose has been cited as possible evidence for ancient visitors to the Americas from the Old World:

"The presence of Uncle Sam inspired Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian explorer and author of Kon Tiki, among others to claim a Nordic ancestry for at least some of the Olmec leadership... [However], it is extremely misleading to use the testimony of artistic representations to prove ethnic theories. The Olmec were American Indians, not Negroes (as Melgar had thought) or Nordic supermen."[34]

^^^Cacs will do anything to discredit blacks Let the face had been a Brad Pitt match, these CACs would have built a tourist site and a museum

 

[Blackking]

If they feel that there is African lineage in the Olmecs background. Also how those people arrived there - And the genetic similarities to their Asian ancestors and the people in Africa. Also if they know anything about why the ancient people made depictions of people with African features.

These ARE all LIES from the WHITE DEVIL. I know THEY are LIES because all the WHITE man does is LIE. The Greek SCHOLAR Herodotus WROTE that the Amazonians were BLACK. You SEE? Even a WHITE scholar is ADMITTING that the WHITES lie. Knowledge is POWER.

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

first Buddha statue with African facial features and elongated ears isn't African, now Olmecs were really Native Americans

Those features aren't exclusive to Africans and Olmecs WERE Native Americans descended from Asians (not Europeans) that crossed the Bering Strait about 20,000 years ago.

Why are you doing to the Native Americans what Europeans did to us?

Except Gabriel Haslip-Viera and Miguel Covarrubias aren't white it's okay you can keep believing these cult talking points.

​

The worst part about this nonsense is these people spend so much time trying to take credit for other people's accomplishments that they actually end up spending little to no time and effort on what Africans actually did in Africa.

Could we get this upped?

Google the Ajanta cave paintings, they are ancient Buddhist frescos from India that were discovered to date as far back as 200 B.C. In them, we can get an authentic look into what the Buddha most likely looked like, some examples:

Ya boy was a dark skinned Indian prince.

"b..b..b...but cornrows!!!"

fukk outta here breh.
