    May I just see if I've got this right? According to your research, Socrates, Aristotle, Jane Austen, Nibbs, Sophie Charlotte, Anne Boleyn, Anne of Denmark, George Washington, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Rousseau, Voltaire, L'Alembert and Hanson were all black. Is this correct?

    Dear, you do not sound very bright. There are people whose mind does not sparkle. Its a drag to have to deal with those types, no? Like o another site a woman stated that men should not read Jane Austen, because they are then les off a man. So ignorant. But this is the lowest, I think, there are others less low, yet still exceedingly stupid. What you think?






    Here it is again, the profile of a black king eclipsing that of a white woman: black superiority in Renaissance Europe.

    This is a detail of a candelabrum at the Louvre, a gift to, I think Maria de Medici who married the French king Henri IV. She was the grandmother of The Black Boy, Charles II Stuart. Who was a cousin of Louis XIV.

    Well, the top image ceratinly shows one character who appears to be black but where is the attribution? I certainly can't read the arabic writing underneath. Can you? If so please translate for me. and are they contemporary images?

    As for Socrates, well he looks more red than black. Perhaps he was a Native American.

    Of course, along with Confucious, Erik the Red (black not red) and the virgin Mary. Then once 'Tippex' was invented someone went around whitening them all to denigrate (is that the right word in this context) the legacy of Afro-centrist literature.

    I love this thread - I haven't laughed so much since our 'chemtrails' friend enterd hibernation.

    Mr Codfried. You mentioned manners. You then insult Pip, you call people, somewhat condescendingly and patronisingly "dear" and "sweetheart". Then you insult Hawkman. Practice what you preach.

    Did anyone say Black Madonna?

    Its the strangest thing, all over Europa, Black Madonna's, black Jesuses etc.



    It could only mean that the elite was black, reversed apartheid, and no use for a white divinity or saints. black superiority. And don't give me soot, because why would the soot only settle on the face and the hands?

    Again fellars, this needs to be explained and my theory permits us to do so.

    The logic is yours, if it is stupid and tiresome, why practice it?

    Tell you where the problem lies, Hawk. That bit on your signature about "pale death that knocks at the doors.........." Bit inflammatory, I reckon!

    Help..... I've just noticed this photo of my avatar - I'm actually quite grey, perhaps even black-skinned under certain screen resolutions (then whitened courtesy of Adobe Photoshop no doubt). Is there no end to this dastardly conspiracy?

    Here we have a representation of the Madona and Child from the top of Albert Cathedral in France. As you can see they are heavily gilded. Does this mean that the colour of their skin was gold?
