Africans weren't a common sight in ancient Rome or Britannia so to put them in an "educational" video as a common sight at that time is called revisionism.


LOL! OK.

So let me get this straight.... You say that there were no Africans in Rome?, Even though they were in Rome' military?

Rome had a pretty diverse society of people living in it but that diversity was nothing like it is today. Romans were still the majority in their country and non Romans made up a small portion of society even though they were diverse.

So essentially the common sight during rome was Roman people, not non Roman people. There were whites and Asians in ancient Africa as well but they were too small as a population to be expected to be portrayed as a common sight.

Bbc is a propaganda network. It's like CNN and fox news but with a stronger agenda. You have to remember that this is a news company that banned white men from applying for a job there. They're the types that practice racism of low expectations when it comes to minorities.

um, Homeros is said to have been alive around 800 BC.
Rome was founded 753 BC, and North Africa wouldn't be a province until sometime after the Punic Wars, which was somewhere around 260-140 BC.
though i'm not sure if it became Roman right after the Third war, or if it was piecemeal after the second onwards, or if it took even longer

Let's put it this way. So imagine watching a clip like that of ancient Africa. And in that educational clip you see an interracial couple (black woman and white man) as the main focus of that clip as if that's the common life and scenery of Africa at that time. Then in the background of that video you see more white people.

What's wrong with that clip in it's portrayal of ancient Africa?

I'll paraphrase.

Someone, to you: "Don't play dumb."
You: "I'm not playing dumb."
To you: "What would your thoughts be about an educational show about ancient Africa featuring a bunch of white people?"
You: "I don't know enough about ancient Africa to say."
Me: "lol"
You: "What's funny?"
Me: "Your absurdity."
You: "What absurdity?"

If you're not playing dumb, then I think I should point out to you that humans require food and water to survive, and that you are a human. Unless your carer's put you on intravenous I fear that you may pass out at any moment.
