[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [qb] osirion - I can see from your statement below that you see yourself as being scholarly and above the fray. [b]Quote: The fact that the Sumerians referred to themselves as Black headed is not in itself sufficient evidence to conclude anything about the origin of the peoples. Black headed does normally mean Black hair. Just like White headed in Akkadian and Ahmaric text is a reference to White hair. What I would like to see is multiple points of evidence: skeletal and genetic evidence is usually needed in order to ascertain African heritage. Using art work to determine ethnicity is really bad unless of course you have other supporting evidence and just are using these artifacts as a visual tool to make a point. The aboriginal Arabs are a Black people of Cushitic ancestry. However, the Sumerians being Black is based on what skeletal finds?[/b] But on the contrary, it is simple-minded and the result of White programing. Lets look at the circumstantial evidence. Sumer was a country about 500 miles away from Africa (the home of the Black man), and about 2,000 miles away from central Asia (the home of the White man). Yet you ask for skeletons proving Black, but not skeletons proving White. A person of normal intelligence would by proximity assume that they were Black people - see what I mean? (BTW - Unless a Black skeleton "HAPPENS" to be that of a person with a wide-bridge nose, you can't tell Black from White, so forget that nonsense). The picture of Sargon above, one of many that have been posted of Mesopotamia's in general, is indisputably that of a Black man - yet you say it proves nothing - ignoring evidence is not intelligent. The one thing that you were right on, was for the wrong reason; "The Black headed ones" must be a mis-translation, because as you can see from Sargon's bust, he also was a Black person, so why would he refer to other Black people as Black. Additionally; when people refer to themselves by color, it is to differentiate themselves from other people of a different color. Since White people would not show-up there for over another thousand years, who was there to differentiate from? So, Cleanse your mind of the White mans propaganda and Try this on for size.

Find me multiple points of references such as descriptions by other groups in the area, etc. Show links between these people and Nile valley Africans. Show genetic evidence and linguistic ethnography. Its up to you to prove a positive. I do not need to prove a negative. And don't bother me with picture spams, they mean nothing to me. You think this is Black? It really doesn't matter what you think? The point is, how do you show a connection between Sargon and East Africa?
