Athena Anneas Nestor Zeus They're all played by black actors. Doesn't really change the fact that we are talking about mythology, not history. thelovefist posted... You can most certainly argue the historical depictions of these characters which were most certainly never depicted as African. But, again, it's not based on anything historical, and shows or interpretations are not restricted to rehashing the exact same depictions over and over. If they were, all the women should be played by men and the entire thing needs to be in ancient Greek. The_Ivory_Man posted... Number two, Santa Claus takes inspiration in appearance from the European Father Christmas, he isn't just St. Nicholas who helped out lower members of society. Actually, he is also based on Odin. That means that all future depictions of Santa Claus need to have one eye, you know, otherwise, it's just pandering to two-eyed people. The_Ivory_Man posted... Three, again do you know how those were done literally by "people in the Middle East looked like this" that's it. Jesus doesn't have DNA lying around believe it or not. Are you trying to argue that Jesus magically had a Northern European appearance despite being a Jew born in the Middle East and not a single person thought to comment on that? These figures have, historically, never been depicted as African. This is a factual statement applicable to thousands of years of history.

Achilles hides among young noble girls because of his fair hair and skin because he's so soft he appears womanly which actually attracts women to him. I really don't know what this post is saying. That there are no black women or that black men cannot disguise themselves as females? Not in Ancient Greece no. Pretty hard for a big buff black dude with short hair to hide amongst young noble Greek women. You do know they can't even recognize Achilles on sight, right? Odysseus baits him into checking out a sword to figure out which "lady" he is. Him appearing feminine is why so many women like him, and he's so adored because he's pretty. <cite>Will446 posted [p:899903760] in Troy: Netf...

For those who dont know the phrase WE WUZ KANGZ its a real life belief in the black community that all history is a lie and all major historical nations were black like England, the Vikings, Ancient Greeks, Egyptians. For example the Nation of Islam which not to be confused with real Islam believes all white people were created by an evil Scientist named Yakub and currently the Nation of Islam controls a cloaked spaceship called The Mothership https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakub If that sounds like Scientology then you shouldnt be surprised Louis Farrakhan is in talks to have his religion merged into Scientology. Also for those who cant comprehend the black belief of WE WUZ KANGZ Ive linked a BBC documentary crew interviewing a black group about the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBdk5hDadYE" data-time=" So if you seen the trailer on YouTube youll notice the downvotes with history buffs and other people pissed off the black washing of Ancient Greece What are your thoughts ?

Why are you ignoring this fact? Where, exactly, did I say they were? Please provide quotes to back up your assertion. I'm stating it doesn't matter because they are not historical figures in the first place. Claiming that it's some sort of 'black revisionist history' when it's based, not on historical content, but on mythology, is ridiculous. More importantly, the ideas that, "they have always depicted that way, so it's the only way we can depict them" or, "there needs to be a historical precedent for any depictions of any mythological characters" are flat out insane. Not only have people been reinterpreting characters for most of our history (Jesus, Thor, the entire cast of American Gods, etc), but many of the depictions we consider 'traditional' are flat out wrong or relatively new inventions (Jesus as a Northern European, Thor as blonde, Santa Claus wearing red, etc). <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:899906310] in Troy: Netf...
