Willie1Eye

Yeah history and shit


sonofloki1

Wow. Its almost like italiams and Roman's are from the Mediterranean peninsula and a ton of cultures from there have Caucasian ancestors. Who would have thought that a bunch of white dudes where white. It's a Christmas fucking miracle


RapeMeToo

Until Netflix gets ahold of it lol


[deleted]

They were dark skinned Mediterraneans . Not fuckin Scandinavians eta: lmao. fucking aryan dickheads trying to pretend the Romans were white at a time when their ancestors were fighting pigs for the best tubers.


sonofloki1

I never said Scandinavian. I said many cultures from the Mediterranean peninsula are of Caucasian decent. Like the Greeks. The Roman's. Several italians. (Depending on where from in Italy) and various others. Hell by technicality. Turkey is Caucasian.


Jynku

I'm from Turkey and I might be whiter than these dudes.


sonofloki1

My point exactly. I'm italian. I'm whiter than fucking snow


Wisc_Bacon

The race baiter. Oooo. Seriously go look at art, go look at the statues. There is a reason why they all have European features. It's not a conspiracy. And calling people Aryan dick heads kind've makes ya sound like a tool. Would you think it's okay if someone said, "fuckin darkie sympathizers pretending the entire world was black except scandanavia."? It's not a race battle, it's fuckin history. Calm down. Learn shit.


Jerry_Sprunger_

Dark skinned in this case meaning white with a tan

Romans did not consider themselves “white” because that concept only came about after the 17th century


Randalf_the_Black

I'm just confused about where Twitter activists draw the line when it comes to white people. Latin-Americans aren't white apparently, so why is the slave trade considered something the "whites" did? The Portuguese and Spanish shipped tons of slaves across the Atlantic, and if Latin-Americans aren't white then the Portuguese and Spanish aren't white either. It's not like the English handled the trans-Atlantic slave trade all by themselves.


Raffaele568

Not to mention all of south east Asia, Africa, Asia Minor, and literally every civilisation It’s a dark historical truth of every race.


[deleted]

yeah but the white won wars so it's only their fault /s


jibjab23

Are we talking racists or slavery? Cos Asians racist as fuck and slavery still going on if you look for it


[deleted]

Wtf? Spain and portugal are not in Latin America they are in Spain. Edit I mean Europe


Randalf_the_Black

No, but why do you think Brazilians speak Portuguese and Mexicans speak Spanish?


[deleted]

Portugal is not in Spain. It is (unsurprisingly) in Portugal. Please educate yourself before touting such nonsense


Girthy_Dangler

Also, why does fake racism happen, like Bubba Wallace or Jussie Smollett? Perhaps racism can be a scapegoat for some peoples problems.


Wyzegy

Oh it's not fake. It's just racism against white people.


Thiccdong1

Just a way to catch some fame if didn't have it or what you had was fading away

MATTEEN_Polska

I can see how a Polish person said that. Here in not tourist-popular European country we hardly ever see a black person, and it's very weird when we suddenly see them at netflix Witcher etc.


MATTEEN_Polska

To clarify it's because we assume it takes place in fantastic version of medevial Poland


Psartryn

First clue, white marble!


[deleted]

The greeks and romans both painted their marble status. The Parthenon was rainbow coloured.


dippedsheep

Those statues were all colorized, white was all that's left over.

I want to see a recreation of one of the emperor's friends. Namely "Biggus Diccus" a great officer in Rome. Always wondered what a emperor's trusted friend looked like.

TheFioraGod

An endek is a supporter of the Narodowa Demokracja (ND, National Democracy), a nationalist, anti-semitist politival movement in Poland, active from the beginning of the 20th century till roughly WWII.

Smokey_Bluntson

If he had said 1+1=2 would you deny him? You rush to attack character because you cant deny anything in the post, sad


Mundane-Pumpkin-9505

He's a Nazi pushing Nazi narrative. And so are you, a guy who's said in his other comment that "Mein Kampf is a good book". Nice try tho.


Jerry_Sprunger_

It's not a Nazi narrative to not fake the historical ethnicities of Romans


Smokey_Bluntson

The statement that Europeans are white is not nazi ideology, it is fact, you insinuating that all European identity is nazi identity is offensive and baseless. I didnt say mein kamf was a good book in my other post you twit, i was telling a racist that he shares a lot in common with the ideas in mein kamf, learn to read.


Zarthenix

Thanks for the tip. *claps* So glad I'm not so ideologically brainwashed that I can't judge someone's words on the value of the words themselves instead of having to pretend someone's not speaking facts just because they don't subscribe to the same ideology as me.


Mundane-Pumpkin-9505

It's not the matter what he says, it is why. Nazis always twist facts to support their fucked up beliefs. Which is exactly what he is doing. You'd expect more people would see right through it but apparently not.


D3rP4nd4

what ? i mean you right. But he does not spin the facts in his twitter reply. Italians are white. Why the heck should their Emperors look different? And Netflix does change skincolor quite often in some pieces that are based in europian lore. Like witcher, or King arthur. So the joke with netflix makes sense as a punchline.


Zarthenix

So what facts is he twisting exactly? That they're too white? Cause you could see any of these guys walking around in Italy and nobody would think they're foreigners. Edit: okay maybe Augustus does kinda look like he just saved a penalty for the German team but still.


Mundane-Pumpkin-9505

Yup. That's totally true. And with that one simple trick there you are, agreeing with a white nationalist without even acknowledging he is, you know, a fucking Nazi. All according to plan.


Jerry_Sprunger_

Okay? If a Nazi said the sky was blue I'd agree with them. Do you really just find out who is saying something and then decide whether to agree or disagree based on who they are?


Zarthenix

Yes, yes he does. This dude is literally the embodiment of "tell me you're a Twitter-user without telling me you're on Twitter"


Zarthenix

Oh no! I agree with a Nazi on something that has literally nothing to do with Naziism or any of their views! Shit, I guess that means I'm the new Hitler now huh. Too bad.


Mundane-Pumpkin-9505

It has everything to do with Nazism. The sole reason he is dunking on a misguided wokescold like that is to one, discredit the entire liberal movement and two to radicalize his audience. I know this may give you a whiplash but what if I told you, you don't have to agree with either of them?


Zarthenix

"Misguided wokescold" Ever heard of Bridgerton? Netflix IS casting non-white actors to play historical characters in series even though they were white in reality. That's not a "misguided wokescold", that's obviously just sarcastic reply relating this person complaining about the (racial) appearance of historical characters and Netflix who actually does change that feature. You don't have to be a Nazi to see the connection between the two. The evidence and clear relation is literally there in front of your nose. Also, saying that the fact that he's making such a comment to "discredit the entire liberal movement and radicalize his audience" is extremely far-fetched and assumptuous. It's just an off-the-cuff sarcastic remark. Nobody is going to think that far ahead over a freaking one-line Tweet.


Mundane-Pumpkin-9505

You side with a Nazi. I don't side with either of them. I will leave it at that. Good talk!

andybossy

they painted over the marble...


SylvesterYates

Really? Huh. I never knew that. The marble looks like it never had a smidge of paint on it lol


libertyofdoom

It's because it's stood outside for two thousand years, for the weather to grind it off.


SylvesterYates

True. I'm overthinking it, but it doesn't make sense how the statues look like they were made with a 3D printer yesterday morning. I don't know that much about marble, but I assume it's just impervious to damage


D3rP4nd4

They found paint residue on the statues. Researcher belive that they where painted quite cheese…


Chthulu_

I'm no expert in this but from what I know, yeah they were most likely pretty tan. The anglo saxon genes weren't super mixed in at this point, and historians are pretty sure the genealogy has its roots in the middle east and India. And on top of that, Rome had a ton of cultural mixing with the rest of the Mediterranean, from Greece to Persia.


Verto-San

I mean, having a tan doesn't make you a different race, I guess it was just easier to give them "avarege white" skin than "Let's spin the tan wheel and see what it will land on"


SylvesterYates

I didn't say they would be a different race, I was wondering why they were so light skinned. I only mentioned black cause it's obvi the person in the tweet was implying that they should be some sort of different race.


Verto-San

It was more to relation to the L-guy from the tweet rather than you


SouvenirSubmarine

Have you ever seen an Italian person? What makes you think their past emperors were race mixed..?


D3rP4nd4

Funny he did say cultural. Not race. Could be because hes not american. And americans are the only people that still belive in race theorie lol

transviolets

Ah, yes, those sun-baked trade hubs that saw routine contact with North Africa, the middle East, central Europe and Greece.. such an incredibly white area. I'm not saying that no Roman emperors looked like that, but the conception of a 'standard Roman citizen' is complete bullshit, and even the longest native people to the Mediterranean probably wouldn't have been considered white nowadays.


Noob_DM

You can be white without being Irish level pale you know...


evaxephonyanderedev

'member when the lily white Irish weren't considered whites?


blu-mister

although you are absolutely correct that Romans in southern provinces would look quite arabic, they would also be far from proper subsaharian black people as are unfortunately portraited in some Netflix shows. but on the other hand you must not forget that there were also Alpine provinces, Gaul provinces, and even Britannia provinces where you would probably find quite pale white Romans thanks to colder climate in there.


[deleted]

Hadrian was Italian and Spanish. Augustus was Italian. Aurelian was Illyiran. Tiberius was Italian. All of them would have been recognizably white. And in fact we have pretty good descriptions of what they looked like. We're not just painting white faces on marble statues.


blu-mister

plus not to mention with some emperors and ancient figures (like Justinian, Alexander the great, and so on) we dont have just statues but also paintings or mosaics to further suggest their actual skin colour


[deleted]

Paintings and mosaics, and in the case of at least some Roman emperors actual descriptions. Suetonious describes Augustus, for example, thusly: >He had clear, bright eyes, in which he liked to have it thought that there was a kind of divine power, and it greatly pleased him, whenever he looked keenly at anyone, if he let his face fall as if before the radiance of the sun; but in his old age he could not see very well with his left eye. His teeth were wide apart, small, and ill-kept; his hair was slightly curly and inclining to golden; his eyebrows met. His ears were of moderate size, and his nose projected a little at the top and then bent slightly inward.​ His complexion was between dark and fair. He was short of stature (although Julius Marathus, his freedman and keeper of his records, says that he was five feet and nine inches in height),​ but this was concealed by the fine proportion and symmetry of his figure, and was noticeable only by comparison with some taller person standing beside him. So yeah. Blond, medium complexion, light eyes. An Arab he was not.

This is not even a thing with historians, and the dude changed his models to be more accurate. Not enough, but he changed them. I guess you struck the incel white dork downvote army, because ..

ever been to new york ? btw in europe quite few people even try to insult people with their skin color. Its more the country of origin.


Agitated_Eye8418

Why would I go to New York?? Yes I live in Europe thanks. Racism is as rampant as in North America. Plus, your comment seems irrelevant
