These same black revisionists claim that Socrates is a negroid. And that Plato’s philosophy is ripped off from black africans. See the revisionist work “Black Athen” by Bernal. This grand theft is answered nyMary Lefkowitz’ “Not Out of Africa” and puts the lie to thsee Afrocentrism myths.

Pathetic and sad. The leftists continue to foment discord and riot to maintain power. People are dead in Ferguson because of them.They deserve a tall tree and short rope.

Twitter users are urging a boycott of Exodus: Gods and Kings, which tells the story of Moses, calling it ‘offensive’ and ‘unacceptable’ that white actors are playing the roles of Egyptians.

Anyone offended by that is just vomiting up their own racism and ignorance.

He favors Charlton Heston just a bit, about the cheekbones and hairline.

Well, you know black Egyptians learned how to fly and whitie came along and killed them, according to Calypso Louise.

Good grief, actors are supposed to be able play roles that are unklike themselves. That is why it is called “acting”. That is why they have wardrobe and makeup.
Acting is not reality.

The loonies are out in full force.

Some of the leading Egyptians were actually Greek.

And Liz Taylor made a fine figger of Cleopatra! LOL

Washing machines are white but the agitator inside is almost always black.....

Sharpton won’t like hearing that.

[Tax-chick]

Wrong time period. In the generally accepted chronologies, the Exodus predates the Greek presence in Egypt by around 1,000 years.

Slap on forehead:

Of course!
