History Channel To Portray Hannibal Accurately

[Asclepias]

Why does this matter to anyone?

For the same reason it mattered to whoever chose to lie and claim he was a white guy for centuries.

this guy is a Berber from northern Africa.

But that's a cherry-picked photo. While he may be a Berber, he isn't typical.

Just some black guy desperately seeking a glorious past which his ancestors can't provide.

He is typical of how Berbers looked back then. He is indigenous. Here is another one.

Blacks were, have been and still are the bottom of the barrel in Tunisia, just like everywhere else:

Tunisia grapples with racism, violence against Sub-Saharans

in Hannibal's day things were a little different....

No Berber. A shot of man from a tribe in Sudan:

Thats where the Berbers came from.

It probably has more to do with giving failed black actors jobs and portraying everyone as black.

A recent broadway play has Alexander Hamilton as black too. Queen Guinevere has been portrayed as black. Next, Queen Victoria and King Henry will both be played by black people.

They remade the movie Annie too. Little white redhead turned into a black kid.

 

[blastoff]

Hmmm...does this mean they'll use a black guy to portray Michael Jackson in the future?

 

[Katzndogz]

The popular myth is to remake everyone black. Utter idiocy.

And since when did history NOT matter? lol

History does matter. It is not the coloring book that Asclips thinks it is.

Love the hat! Hope he's a fashion plate and the shoes match.

Asclepias, this denial is a very old story. There's also a story about when Cahokia was first discovered in America and the locals all claimed that it must have been some other culture that maybe died out because all the 'indians' they ever saw were incapable of building cities and trade routes and recruiting armies paid for by the populace so they didn't have to farm but could concentrate exclusively on being soldiers. And a while back I recall a bitter argument on a message board denying that Alexander (the Great) was gay. It makes sense that Hannibal was black, but there are many who will deny it because they believe black Africans were incapable of commanding and leading armies. Even today in America there are those who claim black people are genetically incapable of an IQ above the Step 'n Fetchit stereotype. (sigh)

Great! Because I see historical facts being accurate as a good thing.

Excellent example. Whites have for so long lied about and omitted true history the reasons can only be attributed to an inferiority complex. I remember reading about Piltdown Man and how that hoax was taught in american schools for decades because whites were so eager to believe they were the first to inhabit the planet.

Kudos to the History Channel for accurately portraying Hannibal as who he really was. A Black African.

Apparently even after 8 years of our first Black Vagina President, blacks have very little to be thankful for or proud of

Frank, those are not only the words of an "Ugly American", but a tacky one at that!

Typical white boy assertion and hopefulness.
