Black History Month - Lecture

Akala does not say anything about Ann Boleyn but he does reference the Shakespearean sonnets that mention black women

Why does it matter that a “black” woman is playing this role?

 

I love how Hollywood and broader historical texts can whitewash history but one role reversal is met with horror

Did I say that?

 

Oh you mean they're are violent sort of people?

I thought it was racist to say such a thing? But yet here you are admitting that they are violent. Lol

I must just be imagining the extreme poverty in third world conditions that exist in so much of Africa and places like Haiti.

 

No one hid anything.

every race, every ethnicity , every color of people around the world do the exact same thing and portray the Jesus character like themselves

 

Complete bullshit

Everyone portrays jesus or god as looking like themselves.

 

Wrong

he did exevute here but did not have ALL of gthe images of her destroyed. Your claim is manufactured and false

The picture I posted is made from life and was not destroyed.


It proves your claim fictional propoganda.

There was never any such order to repaint individuals as white.

 

Sorry but the facts posted here prove that your claims are ficitonal and out right lies

Anne Boleyn was white as was Elizabeth


You are defeated and attempting to manufacture racist hostry but your claims are disproven

You will just have to get over it

Yes England had slavery

 

Wrong

The Oxford english dictonary does not use the word BLACK in the definition of swarthy

There is the link proving you willfully misquoted the Oxford english dictionary
https://www.oed.com/dictionary/swarthy_adj1

When you have to lie about a dictionary definition it proves you are wrong

Anne Boylen was white. That is proven and settled.

So was Elizabeth

 

Wrong

Most know it is accurate

 

For the same reason it would matter if Colin Powell was portrayed by John Travolta

 

They have not whitewashed history. Sorry but that is a manufactured claim.

Role reversals are fine unless you claim they are accurate history.

 

I just think it's funny as hell that she stated that black people are violent but then she wouldn't answer my post and ran away from that one.

Don't say something they don't like or you might be taking your teeth home in a hat.... According to bowerbird.

But yet when we point out their propensity for violence that makes us a racist....

Saying that a large number of a group of people would assault you because they don't like what you have to say..... Sounds a lot like an admission that that's a violent group of people.

It is funny how people slip up and tell the truth sometimes even if only by default

 

If I were to say how shockingly impoverished many parts of America are - would you be insulted?

 

Now THAT is a bullshit statement

 

Sorry to disappoint you but I do not hang on every word you post

You have zero and I mean zero evidence that one “race” is “more violent” than another. Especially considering there is no such thing ad different human races

 

But does it matter? I mean it is not as if there has been no “white washing” in the past

Let’s look at some of the more infamous examples

You didn’t watch the video in the OP did you?

 

That is due next week

The picture you posted is not Anne. Henry VIII ordered all pictures of Anne destroyed and there has been great mystery as to the reason why Henry wanted to erase Anne from history. Most likely racism.

 

The entire enterprise of Western biblical scholarship, itself the offspring of the Church, along with the rise of classical Western art, its sibling, is ultimately responsible for what has become the normative presentation of biblical characters — and the deity — as white. The foundation of modern biblical scholarship is generally placed within the rise of the Enlightenment movement, a movement I learned to regard as enwhitenment during my theological education at the Howard University School of Divinity. I now also think of it in terms of entitlement. David Hume is an exemplar of the kind of white-supremacist rhetoric and worldview nurtured and disseminated by the so-called Enlightenment, which would rebound to the biblical scholarly enterprise -reconstructingjudaism

 

Sorry but the facts posted here prove that your claims are ficitonal and out right lies

Anne Boleyn was not white and neither was Elizabeth


You are defeated and attempting to manufacture racist history but your claims are disproven

You will just have to get over it

 

Wrong! Depends on the part of Africa you are visiting. Although admittedly the exploitation of African resources by the west have not helped the countries.

Have you proof from history? Even Akala has not made this claim and he is a self proclaimed “Crazy Afrocentric black person”
