Why do Afrocentrists keep perpetuating the myth that blacks were in the Americas before Columbus

[GoldTeef]

I just pointed that clearly their were blacks among them

And where is your proof? You're pointing to statues and saying 'look, this statue looks like it could be a black person so it is a black person!', the reason I posted those images was to show you how easy that is it do, it's not really evidence.

Go read a book nikkafukk i look like postin sources just for you to call them "afrocentric", that's what the fukk They Came Before Columbus was about, Van Sertima was saying that blacks were among the olmecs, not the olmecs were black

Yeah, nikka, it ain't exactly hard to look at a person or monument depicting a person to figure out their race

What race does this look like to you nikka?

What race does this look like to you nikka?clearly a white man right? How hard was it to come to that conclusion, I don't need a fukkin peer reviewed article to look at a statue and determine the general race

It ain't no fukkin "look like it could be" in it, the El Negro Olmec head is clearly depicting a black person, and your mexican ancestors clearly believed that he was black too since they named him fukking EL NEGRO

This is a fukking black person

Lol, the Olmecs were speaking spanish

Yea I think I'm done here, I'll leave you with this.

This is a Melanesian boy. He looks black right? Well it turns out he isn't, see:

My point is some features like wide flat noses and big lips are not exclusive to black people, and pointing to a statue with big lips and a flat nose and saying 'look at those features, that is proof that they are black' is silly.

Black people are native to basically every body of land in the world except the Americaswhich is slap dab in between Africa and the Pacific islands which both host native blacks

EDIT: Trying to find the better version of this illustration

Stop tryna save face and go to bed, lil boy

When did I say the Olmecs spoke spanish or named the heads themselves? Please point it out to me. When I said your mexican ancestors I meant the cacs that discovered the heads

I clearly stated that Africans do not have a monopoly on being black, melanesians are clearly black but not genetically AfricanAre we even having the same conversation

And pointy noses and thin lips aren't exclusive to cacs but I can look at this neandrethal and tell he's a european cracker regardless, it has fukk all to do with simple features, its deeper than that

Brehs theyre not making it up. Im not saying they were west africans, or that they even shared the same phenotype as the West or East African peoples, but they were certainly "black" people in Central and South America before 1492. Without a muthafuxing doubt. All you need see is the murals from Bonampak alone for proof. You cannot tell me they accidentally painted everybody brown.

That statue doesn't look East African since Ivan sertima said the Egyptian dynasty sailed to Olmec land

1 star... Afrocentrist are not the only ones perpetuating the pre-Columbian African theory, in fact a white man named Alexander von Wuthenau first theorized it.

Peter Martyr, who is noted as the"1st historian of America" wrote first hand accounts of seeing black people among natives while he was in central and south America.

Fray gregoria Garcia, a white priest from Spain spent a decade in Peru and he wrote 1st hand accounts of the black people there.

Before Columbus even came to America he had knowledge of Africans who had crossed the Atlantic via king don Juan of Portugal by the indigenous people of the Caribbean islands, again by first hand accounts. Not to mention Columbus wrote about seeing Africans in America himself.

When you guys say black people are you speaking genetically or skin color? It's looking like y'all are arguing about two different things...

Where's the African artifacts ?
Where's the Aftican skulls?
Where's the African DNA in natives?
