Here is Ben Franklin's description of the Europe and the world during his time:

Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

Swarthy = Dark skinned

Tawny = yellow, brown

Saint Maurice of the Roman Empire

Henry the 2nd

Here are some descriptions of famous Europeans we all think are white:

In James M. Kittleson’s ‘Luther the Reformer: the Story of the Man and His Career pg. 43 – The Protestant reformer Martin Luther is described as a SWARTHY man of medium height.

In a Short History of Germany by Emily Hawtrey and Amanda Flattery – Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor due to his black swarthy complexion, he’s known also as: Enrique III El Negro de Alemania, Henry the Black (Le Noir) or Den Svarte,

William Robertson states in the Book “The Reign of Charles V, Vol 3, pg 441 – At noon Bishop Carranza, Archbishop of Toledo, who had long been expected arrived at Yuste. He was the same ‘black friar’ – so called from his swarthy visage-.

Pope Urban VI is describe in the book “Saint Catherine of Siena and Her Times” by Mademoiselle Mori as being born of a Neapolitan father and a Tuscan mother, he was short stoutly made and swarthy, with fiery black eyes.

Ruler of Milan Ludovico Sforza was one of the sons of Fransesco Sforza, Ludovico was known as “the Moor” (his complexion was swarthy). (ref. Travel Guide to Europe, 1492: Ten Itineraries in the Old World — by L. Camusso)

Byantine emperor John II Komnenos (1118-1143) is described by Latin historian William of Tyre as short with eyes, hair and complexion so dark he was known as ‘the Moor’.

Peter the Great of Russia is also described as having black eyes and hair with a swarthy complexion. (ref. A general collection of …voyages and travels, digested – by J. Pinkerton)

In the book “Peter the Great: His Life and World”, Mr. Massie describes the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold of the Hapsburgs as swarthy, of middling height, with the projecting lower jaw and protruding lower lip which traditionally marked (if not disfigured) the Hapsburgs.

You complain of "identity theft" by whites, yet you are the one trying to steal the identity of whites. I do understand it though - people like you who attempt to steal other people's histories do so out of sheer desperation - you have no identity & history of your own.

My question for you is if you wouldn't suggest Ben Franklin was an afrocentrist for pointing out that Europe was black in the 1700s then why would you question me simply for quoting him?

But he said no such thing.

Also, if Europe was black back then, then it was black people responsible for slavery & colonialism. Now deal with that! LOL

 

[Armbars]

So many of these gimpy idiots splurt this shit.

Its a demonstration of mental weakness and self hate. It's probably best if he doesn't reproduce.

 

[LEGS MAHONEY]

Im no more of an afrocentrist than Ben Franklin

Bruh ben was describing all non saxon europeans as swarthy because he was a silly racist fuck. Not because they literally were POC

do you really think all these european people magically lightened up after he died or?

 

[ObamaPhoneLady]

The same people who say 'being born white is nothing to proud of' then turn around and say 'being born white is something to feel guilty about.'

Can't have it both ways.

Either white people are superior or they aren't.

The question, if you accept that whites are superior, is whether we should feel proud or guilty for that superiority.

By being arrogant enough to claim that you're privileged... Implies that you are better than other people.

...what??

How?

The same people who say 'being born white is nothing to proud of' then turn around and say 'being born white is something to feel guilty about.'

Yea we lightened up around 7,000+ years ago (earlier than that in the far north), not after the 1700s. Lol @ "swarthy swedes".

But nobody says that.

'Progressives' say it all the time.

Lol @ this black Israelite bullshit, just fucking lol.

From what I gather he's also a flat earther that believes in the firmament and thinks evolution is a hoax, among other things.

The answer to your question is no I'm not not an afrocentrist and I don't k know about Beethoven.

My question for you is if you wouldn't suggest Ben Franklin was an afrocentrist for pointing out that Europe was black in the 1700s then why would you question me simply for quoting him? And then proceed to ignore said quote? Somebody is not being honest...

Don't you think it's more likely he was referring to olive skin as opposed to lighter white Anglo-Saxon skin tone? Something like this:

 

[FIMN]

Lol. Suuuuure.

I'll rephrase. I've never heard anybody say that. It seems like a strawman to me, in order that you don't have to do anything to actually understand the argument.

What's up with the footprints? They don't look like that.

Wow, they got a third grader to draw that and write all those names-like all twenty of them. How about we write the names of black Americans killed by other black Americans. I am thinking that we will need about a mile of roadway for that one.

See, I can tell you the scenarios for each of those names, but can anyone aside from friends and family of the deceased, name anyone of the 411 murders thus far in Chicago. Here is a fluff piece that lauds a 23% drop in murders in chi town this year.

“A drop in homicides in Chicago alone accounted for a majority of the national decline in killings in 2017, recently released FBI statistics show.

The FBI reported a total of 17,284 murders across the U.S. in 2017, down from 17,413 total murders reported in 2016. That’s a net decrease of 199 murders across the country from 2016 to 2017. Fifty-six percent of that decrease can be attributed to Chicago specifically, which saw 112 fewer murders in 2017 compared to 2016.

https://news.suntimes.com/news/chicago-murder-rate-national-statistics-fbi-report/


What that article did not say was how many murders had happened this year. In fact, it took some searching and different wording to actually get a number.

I hate to always use Chicago as the go to city to talk about crime, but it is the city that typically has the most articles about it, the most theories as to why people can’t seem to stop killing each other, and has a protest every time a police officer shoots a black person, complete with black lives matter at the forefront to lambast the police to “stop murdering us” as the signs often say. But when put to task about the crazy high numbers in the city every year with 80% of the offenders being black and 95% of those victims are killed by other blacks.

Here is a decent article on the violence that does not blame police, and focuses on the negative effects of living in a war zone. http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/National_News_2/article_103541.shtml

Another decent article. https://triblive.com/opinion/guestc...cent-victims-war-attacks-chicago-cities-crime

Also, when doing the search, I was inundated by article after article of police failure to solve these crimes. One 1 out of 6 murders are solved, while most lead to other murders. This is used as evidence that “black lives don’t matter to the police” yet, who is the group that actually devalues the lives of black Americans? Is it the police that kill an average of 1000 people per year that is the greater threat, or the number of murders in two cities: Chicago and Baltimore, the number which dwarfs the 1000 killed by police, many of which are justified. The police have got to do their part and try to solve these murders, which they do, but run into dead ends with witnesses refusing to talk to police. Police have got to build better relations with the community they serve, but what about the community and what they can do to help? For starters, they need to mobilize and treat every murder like they do police shootings. In one weekend in August, 11 people were murdered and 70 more shot in Chicago. There was few protests or community outrage because the shooters were black, but if one of those shootings had been by police, then people would have taken to the streets.

Now why do I bring all this up? Because here we have an article about some douche talking about what we can do to end white privilege, and all the harm it causes, but once again, the absolute genicide taking place is ignored as a serious threat to black lives and the hypocrisy in the response to police shootings versus the 100:1 ratio of police shootings to black on black violence.

And let’s look at one more factor. Why are police shooting black people? Is it racism? No, i don’t think so. Is it racial bias? Maybe, and here is why. When you have so much violence within a certain community, police are going to be more jumpy when dealing with someone that flees in a car, then on foot, or reaches for their waist, or any number of other factors. The “I feared for my life” excuse is not really an excuse when police are seeing this violence several times a day, then deals with the demographic that is the cause of all this violence. Hell, in the last week, three people have told officers on my shift alone, that they are scared that the police may shoot them because “it happens everyday.” No, it doesn’t. If I were black, and I am not, in fact I am downright pasty, I would be much more afraid of people that looked like me than I would the police, which is just further hypocrisy.

Unpossible!! Those thousands upon thousands of portaits of white folks, continent wide and spanning centuries, of white folks are all clearly forgeries. It is known.
