[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Black Africans come in VARIOUS shades of brown and that is the fact and nobody denies it. The point is again that Sudanese are among the DARKEST of Africans and therefore Will Smith is not necessarily the MOST REPRESENTATIVE of what an ancient Kushite would have looked like. For that matter he isn't REPRESENTATIVE of what all African Americans look like either. This goes to show that the black/brown dichotomy of Africa and the art of ancient Egypt is a reflection of the reality of the diversity of complexion among black populations, which goes back many thousands of years. Therefore, given that diversity and given that all Africans do not look the same, you cannot just claim that because an African is black that they are a perfect example of all African features because they aren't. But movies are about acting and of course even if Will Smith plays the role it is his acting that will make or break the movie more so than skin color. And like I said, such critiques of accuracy in historical flicks is nothing new. For example, why do so many movies on ancient Greece and Rome feature actors with distinct Scottish, Irish and British accents? Certainly the ancient Romans and Greeks were not Celtic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
