Mari was a powerful city state in today Eastern Syria, dating around the 3rd millenium bc/early 2nd, these people were no joke, they were rich, renown, and apparently...
Black.
I was astonished where I found this beautiful painting of theirs, they look exactly like black people / African Americans
Pic related looks exactly like Lando from Star wars
Tyler Reed
They look arabic/indian.
Jose Gonzalez
So do afrocentrists think brown people don't exist or is it just Black and White to them?

Mari was destroyed by the evil and envious king Hammurabi of Babylon, a white king, no doubt, one of the first

It all makes sense now, these people will later conquer Spain and teach them how to bath and do math, interesting...

Dominic Smith
As an European I see one black there. The rest are varied kinds of mixed/mulattoes.
Liam Martin
All black Americans are mixed to varying degrees. One drop rule.
Brandon Wright
They claim Asia too
Austin Morgan
brown doesn't just refer to skin color, its a catch-al term for lack of a better word for other wise Caucasian shaped features with dark skin. Eg. Indians/Pakis, Arabs, Mexicans etc etc
Matthew Nelson
>indian history is too irrelevant to be claimed by blacks don't know if I should be happy or butthurt at our irrelevance desu
William Diaz
Looks like a typical sandnigger to me
Blake Myers
They basically replicate, word for word, the white nationalist mythology of being everywhere at once?
Henry Cruz
According to WEWUZKANGS, this shows that Æthelstan was black. I'm not kidding
Dylan Bailey
They mostly claim things which are popularized by Western media and academics. Aside from the Mughals- who were Islamic anyways- I don't see Indian history covered much in the West
Mason Sullivan
They literally find one sculpture of a dude with big lips and now a whole country was actually black, it is pretty funny actually.
