[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] Ancient Greece certainly knew a black-white dichotomy expressed as Aithiopian and Skythian. In Homer's Iliad has archetypal heroes for each, Memnon and Achilles. They envisaged skin colour opposites in head and neck plastic art. [IMG]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9onxwRqwz1qzix81o1_1280.jpg[/IMG] In this example both have ulotrichous hair, a term applied to textures from nappy to tightly curly and everything in-between hair. Physical features are rather stereotypical emphasizing the prime characteristics of each stock. The common Roman male even wrote about black-white people poles in a Pompeii brothel prostitute preferal graffito “[b]Candide[/b] me docuit [b]nigras[/b] odisse puellas...” under which was written “Odero septero sed invitus amabo.” “A [b]white[/b] girl taught me to hate [b]black[/b] girls.” “You may hate them but you will return to them. --signed by Venus Physica of Pompei ” The source is [b]Gusman, P[/b]. [i]Pompeii[/i], pp. 56-7. 1900. https://archive.org/details/pompeicityitslif00gusmiala/page/56/mode/2up?view=theater Also per JA Rogers, [b]Berkeley-Hill[/b], [i]Spectator[/i], June 13, 1931, p. 934 explains, “Seneca in his Letters to Lucilius written in the first part of the first century A. D. mentions that numbers of Negroes were introduced into Rome at that time for the purposes of prostitution.” https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Psychoanalytic_Review/YFYTAAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA251 The colour-blind antiquity world 'before colour prejudice' idea is a feeling saver invented by the quadroon Frank Snowden, who often snubbed contemporary black and colored scholars, that cannot stand up to historical investigative scrutiny. It's a ludicrous notion that people couldn't see obvious skin colour and physical form differences until almighty 18th century European whitey invented racial anthropology. [/QB][/QUOTE]
