    I'm sure akala knows about this topic. He prolly has other battles to fight. This fight is quite tedious since the naysayers tend to be royalists or white supremacists, often both. So they tend to be incessant but without bringing forth any evidence to prove me wrong. It's just entitled ppl repeating The nuh-huh argument


    Anne Boleyn was described as very different to the English and also with swarthy skin. Swarthy comes from Schwarze in German. Meaning black. So absolutely not white, we can throw that one in the gutter right away.

    We need to reframe the debate: if she wasn't white then what was she?

    The white Boogeyman strikes again and it must be difficult for people that believe in such conspiracy theories.

    That's what race relation forum is about. It's not all about racial harmony. Hard truth comes out. If you don't like it then there are 50 other sub forums you can post in.

    If you've got nothing of interest to add here why bother.

    You yourself provided the evidence and now you're going to sit there and try to deny it. Lol.

    Do I need to remind you what you said? Lolol.

    So tell us again how black people will punch your teeth out if you say something they don't like.

    How I felt about such a statement really wouldn't matter. One thing I wouldn't do would be to commit violence because I didn't like what someone said.

    Maybe YOU wouldn't but your contemporaries certainly would. I've lost count of the amount of threats on my life on this forum by white supremacists that didn't agree with my understanding of history.

    Also, don't forget, it was bowerbirds own comment, not that of an African. You are building a new strawman iSee

    Lol.... I bet.

    Making a black person angry is much more likely to result in violence. Just read her post. According to her they would knock your teeth out because you say something that they don't like.

    Maybe that's because of the African they know. It's not my personal experience though at all and I've spoken with many from Ethiopia, Ghana, Eritrea, Nigeria, south Africa. All very warm and cordial individuals.

    You should come to America for a while and walk amongst them.

    Probably the blacks that you are talking about would not be particularly fond of American blacks..... Or at least the majority of them.

    So you're now talking about so called African Americans and not Africans, which is it?

    It's likely that so called African Americans have a particular issue with white folks in America though. Hmm, let me see...it's a mystery. Heaven knows why that is.

    And yet “take your teeth home in your hat” is a very common Aussie saying. UK as well but I guess we put less emphasis on statements like that than actually committing gun violence

    No it isn’t as evident by your lack of support for your own statements

    You had to lie about the definition of swarthy in the dictionary which I proved.

    She was white.

    We have thrown your historic fiction in the futter

    It was and if you had watched the video of Akala’s lecture at Oxford University you would know why.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity_of_Cleopatra

    Certainly many of the Egyptian rulers were not classically “white”. At best her complexion would have been middle eastern and not the pale brunette of Elizabeth Taylor

    And again no support for your claims. You know just repeating something does not make it true
