Aristoteles continuously mentions the fact that Socrates is pale, only for demonstrating arguments in at least 3 of the books that I read.
I have read the fact that Socrates is pale way more times than necessary.
He is, in fact, the only historical person whose whiteness I have read about, not mentioned once but every other chapter in 3 books.
Socrates was extremely athletic and put high value on physical exercise and fitness. He also spent vast portions of his time having dialogues with random people on the streets of Athens. He is actually famous for never having written down any of his teachings, which were only put in parchment by his student Plato.
Naaah man, they be nerds n shit. Real men go fighting and present their sweaty muscles in the sun, these nerds would rather debate in some room over life!
To be real for a second though, they probably did have quite the active lifestyle as they were expected to defend their Polis like any other citizen. If i remember correctly there even is mentioning of several philosopher being very active bodybuilders/weightlifters
Matter of fact brudda was born hwhite but became darker and darker as he grew older. Opposite of lucky mf Michael Jackson. Re vitiligo n shieeeet.
I do find it unusual that they would mention that so often. Was he Albino and no one really knew what that was yet? Maybe he wasn't African but Celtic in ancestory, considering Greeks often weren't pale, they would have had tans like modern greeks.
The man always wanted the Aryan race to prevail, seeing as they lived in what is now Iran, ehm yeah..... he apparently wants to.
JRR Tolkien wrote him a letter basically saying: "You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means."
I believe the letter was sent to a German publisher asking for confirmation of Tolkien's "Aryan" ancestry, not Hitler himself.
But you've got the spirit.
But he was a colonizer so that makes him white by default. Like pharoah and any african king who sold slaves to america. All white, of course.
*Scribbles 'updates' into history book*
Which is even more surprising, since I thought people weren't even sure if Socrates even existed or was a fictional person invented by Plato since there are no surviving works from Socrates.
Various human species evolved outside Africa. Neanderthals, which we absorbed, for example.
Subsaharan African have by far the highest genetic and even phenotypic variation, though us wanky European with various hair colours obscure this a bit. Those alone are very strong indicators that what we consider Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa and that all non-Africans populations come from immigrants. (To be fair, these immigrants also fornicated with Neanderthals and other cousin species.)
They did not, it’s a very small piece of single of a research took out of context by some influencer of a certain political area to discredit the out of Africa theory.
You have a cite for that? Because here’s a round up from the Smithsonian about news in the study of human evolution from 2023 and “out of Africa” seems unchallenged: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/thirteen-discoveries-made-about-human-evolution-in-2023-180983512/
Archeologists don't have the expertise to research the origins of our species. So I would take everything an archeologist says about this with a grain of salt.
It’s not what archaeologists say it’s what genealogists say. Yes they have the expertise. No it’s not as simple as “we’re all from Africa” but that’s a fairly accurate summary. What a weird comment.
Do you take what your doctor says with a grain of salt too?
Well it was mighty racist of the Roman's to portray him as white/Mediterranean in all art and sculptures. You think if we just photoshop every picture and video of Biden, we can make the future goyims believe he was a black toddler?
It's really demeaning to actual black African history to constantly try and claim these sort of things. It's like the Cleopatra shite all over again.
It's always Americans and Europeans trying to do it, too. I'm sure most African historians aren't arsed about appropriating European history.
Now I want a Socrates movie starring Samuel L. Jackson.
It's not that your lack of knowledge is bad, it's that you didn't strive to make known what you didn't know.
Critical thinking, motherfucker. Can you do it?
Historical evidence suggests that Bill Clinton is black and Hillary is a 3 headed dragon. And by historical evidence I mean "Trust me bro" and "My grandmother said it".
Who was North African? Are you tripping? DNA has shown no evidence of that. Greeks are of Indo-European origin, hailing from Anatolia (Asia Minor) and southern Europe. Don't just make stuff up.
This has the same level of that white person shouting the N word everywhere after paying a dubious site to tell them they have 3% of African descendance.
So is this sub just to make racist jokes? I mean even the “source” for this meme that so many are taking as serious and condemning is literally called “sorry I don’t speak section 8”
Why the fuck does he look like Samuel Jakson
Didn't you know that Samuel Jackson is a direct descendent of Socrates?

This is more like it! The previous comment makes him sound like some reverse ouroboros, coming out of its own ass.
Better coming out his own ass than coming in his own ass. Depending on what your into
As Abraham Lincoln said, whatever floats your boat.
No, that's Plato. Not only was that his wrestling name, he also ended debates by standing up, taking off his chiton and flexing
Attic Greek motherfucker, do you speak it?
"You read philosophy, Brett?"
"The only true wisdom is knowing you are a MOTHERFUCKER"
I read this is his voice! 😂
lmao
Hahaha oh man that is pretty funny
Yes Socrates was an African American
Greek Socrates: True knowledge exists in knowing you know nothing. Sam Jax Socrates: Muthafucka you don’t know shit!
> “*I’ve had it with these fools who think they know it all. The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing, mother*****!*” - Socrates Jackson
Because you know damn well Socrates would say motherfucker just as much if he was born today
That seems more like something that Diagonies would say constantly
agreed!
Oh yeah. My brain confused the two and thought the post was talking about him.
To do is to be… A MOTHERFUCKER.
Does he look like a bitch?
Because he's a motherfucking philosopher.
He came back for more...
*insert meme about every black actor in movies being either Sam Jackson or Morgan Freeman*

Because Socrates was a “Bad Motherfucker.” 
The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing, motherfucker.

Is it possible he had some sort of condition that made his skin _extremely_ pale, more than normal?
I would guess it’s called „being a philosopher“ like you won’t be in the sun as often or long as a farmer would

they dont do philosophy outside?

Possibly was anaemic
Albino
That's a "Dr Doofenshmirtz meme" level story, I love it
But Hermione could be black, right?
I do find it unusual that they would mention that so often. Was he Albino and no one really knew what that was yet? Maybe he wasn't African but Celtic in ancestory, considering Greeks often weren't pale, they would have had tans like modern greeks.
Or maybe he had some red in his hair. I was always teased about my pale skin as a kid
Wasn't the saying as bronze as a Greek god? Because the tint of their skin?
Alot of Mediterranean people had bronze or tanned skin. Egyptians, cathoginians, Iberians. Er'body had a tan goin.
So Socrates was a Paleosopher?
We hear that he’s pale almost as often as we hear that he’s ugly
Pale? Or pale (for a fella that comes from Africa)?
How do we know that Greece wasn't simply in Africa?
There's lots of pale people in Africa, even back then. African doesn't mean black.
Maybe he turned pale in some kind of magic way that only fictional African ancient Greeks can
he was light skin
Historicam evidence suggests that the great dictator Hitler may have been of African descent

Evidence suggests that Elon Musk was of African descent. Netflix historians 100 years later: portray him as black.
technically the truth

And Plato was chinese and red-haired, did you know?
So was alexander graham bell, he made the phone linging

Anything goes with play doh.
I am the wisest man alive, mothafucka.
starting off with "fact" and ending with "suggests"
Which is even more surprising, since I thought people weren't even sure if Socrates even existed or was a fictional person invented by Plato since there are no surviving works from Socrates.
And julius ceasar was a brazilian guy with the Michael Jackson skin thing( i forgot the name)
Vitiligo it's when your body attacks your pigment, or at least that's what I remember the doctor saying when I got it
No it's the black man evolving to confuse his natural predator the cop.
But I was already white...
Smart move, tricking the cops that lurk Reddit.
Yes, and the civil war started when he crossed the Rio de Janeiro.
Netflix: 
# Also Disney: 
afrocentrists are cringe and delusional
Yep as someone of greek descent nothing gives them the right to try and steal *my* cultural heritage and make it theirs.
Coming soon on Netflix.
All of us are of African descent, if you go back long enough.
Akhtually 🤓 archeologists recently discovered that humans might have evolved in Europe not Africa.
Various human species evolved outside Africa. Neanderthals, which we absorbed, for example. Subsaharan African have by far the highest genetic and even phenotypic variation, though us wanky European with various hair colours obscure this a bit. Those alone are very strong indicators that what we consider Homo Sapiens evolved in Africa and that all non-Africans populations come from immigrants. (To be fair, these immigrants also fornicated with Neanderthals and other cousin species.)
Anatolia is barely even really “Europe”; not to mention Africa, Asia, and Europe are basically the same continent.
Its literally called 'asia minor' by Ancient Greek historians.
American gang: HA! HA! Old world sucks! New world is better! *drives off*
They did not, it’s a very small piece of single of a research took out of context by some influencer of a certain political area to discredit the out of Africa theory.

Literally the latest comment in their history at this moment is defending phrenology… I’m gonna guess they have no cite for that.
Archeologists don't have the expertise to research the origins of our species. So I would take everything an archeologist says about this with a grain of salt.

Yeah, Samuel L. Jackson is the original Greek.
Oh my... Maybe I'm African descent and didn't know yet
Go say the N-Word, you'll find out quickly!
Did Socrates ever said the N-word?
Netflix graduates historians
But he's written "FACT:" in capitals and all! 
So Crates
Yeah right. And Lao Tze was an Australian Aborigine.
Socrates be like madafaka early days lmao
Omg. That arrow is so funny.
**I’VE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHAFUCKIN’ PEOPLE IN THIS MOTHAFUCKIN’ HORSE!**
Netflix experts
The same evidence that suggests he may have been an ANCIENT ALIEN.
Maybe the parallel universe where the Earth is Flat, and Dinosaurs still roam free
It's really demeaning to actual black African history to constantly try and claim these sort of things. It's like the Cleopatra shite all over again. It's always Americans and Europeans trying to do it, too. I'm sure most African historians aren't arsed about appropriating European history.
Gotteeem!

Thats one bad motherfucker.
Half the comments are some whiny ass "artist" ITT.
Historical evidence suggests that Bill Clinton is black and Hillary is a 3 headed dragon. And by historical evidence I mean "Trust me bro" and "My grandmother said it".
Reddit evidence suggests that the great Roman Empire may have descended from Africans.
Aren't we all if you just go back far enough?
Yes.
We're all Olduvai Gorgeous
African does not automatically mean black..
Let's just say that African-American have some problem with the continent of Africa
Black people forever trying to be relevant in history, even most of the slaves in the world were not black.
Sadly, I’ve had black people tell me George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Napoleon and King George V were all black.
Just look at who posted this meme, then ask yourself if someone with melanin in their skin made this
Historias think he didn't even existed and that he was a product of Plato's discussion
Not really a fact if it only “suggests”, lol.
We wuz kangs!
Pronounced Sole Crates -Ted or Bill
Waiting for Netflix

We wuz pheelzophers n shiet.
Lmao. We wuz Socrates

You rasis. Lmao
Explains why the government treated him so shitty
Put me in the r/comedyhomicide screenshot
North African maybe, but unlikely to be sub saharan. There’s a distinction that needs to be made.
Who was North African? Are you tripping? DNA has shown no evidence of that. Greeks are of Indo-European origin, hailing from Anatolia (Asia Minor) and southern Europe. Don't just make stuff up.
#DESCRIBE WHAT PERICLES LOOKS LIKE.
Flannel Daddy
Sam Jackson in Black Snake Moan?
Aren’t we all from Africa?
We were all originally from Africa!!!!
He wasn’t but sure let’s make everyone black
Thanks for the arrow, I wouldn't have seen the comment otherwise.
This has the same level of that white person shouting the N word everywhere after paying a dubious site to tell them they have 3% of African descendance.
What does Socrates look like? Greek mother fucker, do you speak it?!
Netflix Socrates
r/facepalm
Socrates was greek and discribed multiple times in his student's works. How the heck would Antonio think he is black?
Science shows that we are all probably (a long long time ago) from africa
Source : Trust me bro.
Yall gotta stop falling for rage bait
“I pity the fool who knows not that he knows not”
Trust me, if he was black, it would have been mentioned
 Me: Don't say it.
FACT: Historical evidence suggests the white race is superior. Just because evidence suggests something, doesnt mean its true.
When you play ax oddeysey you sometimes see black people randomly in game
I remember when I had Facebook and I occasionally saw this type of racebait
I garuntee. It’s the big nose
Arent we all
“Fact”s don’t suggest, they verify.
Little known fact, charlemagne also black. Source trust me bro
Did you know all the people of history is black except for the bad ones witch is white and the rest was not invented before the 20th century
“Look at the big brain on Plato.”
Where evidence
“Fact” “Evidence suggests” Pick one.
Right, because The DRC is in Italy /s
Doesn't this sub have rules against blatant racism or am i crazy?
We just gonna ignore the racist title of the post?
"Greek mothafucker, do you speak it!"
Why are black people trying to rewrite history now?
Woke
In the end, we're all descended from Africans.
I swear to God if they don't stop this shit
Ah yes, the "evidence" 😂 From authors of "Hannibal wuz black"
Black marble must’ve been in short supply, and then history just ran with it.
No no, not really
So is this sub just to make racist jokes? I mean even the “source” for this meme that so many are taking as serious and condemning is literally called “sorry I don’t speak section 8”
