>Polychromy in ancient statues and the whiteness of marble without paint has made both the Roman and Greek antiquity seem like they were all white. This was done on purpose by scholars in the 18th and 19th century who purposefully whitewashed those periods and pointed to the whiteness of the marble as proof that those worlds, which had people from all "races" (the term wasn't really relevant back then) were also white. VICE News Tonight walks through the Art Institute with polychromy expert Sarah Bond.
>Roman Empire not only accepted other race/cultures but they also encouraged them to mix it up, giving religion freedom and a new notion about unity
What's the shock? Only stating the obvious. Or you are triggered that the "ABSOLUTELY BARBARIC" views on other cultures were about the ones who REFUSED to be part of the Empire?

One or two paintings of non-white people are shown and thats it. >movie portrayals of Julius Caesar depicts him as a light skinned anglo/germanic instead of a mediterranean >look see!! history has been whitewashed!!!
There is no other explanation for this low-effort historical revisionism other than multicultural propaganda. Why does corporate media push this so much? How do corporations profit from mass immigration and destruction of european cultures?

I watched this with my roommate and as soon as it was done I told him it was a bunch of shit, that Caesar was white (as we would consider today), and that Rome was "multiethnic" because they conquered a bunch of different peoples due to their MILITARY SUPERIORITY--that last word seems to upset people like the girl in the Vice clip who is peddling this shit

no, I'm not going to concede anything base don what cultural marxists say. They're always lying and being dishonest to degrade whites

Ian Garcia
Mediterranean are Caucasian. White means Caucasian. Just because someone doesn't have blonde hair and blue eyes doesn't mean they aren't white.
Colton Turner
They were mediterranean.
Nowadays most people would not consider them "White" in the northamerican modern term (in continental Europe the term White has almost no use).
So yes.... they were not anglosaxon or northeuropean/easterneuropean AT ALL.
The funny thing is that more than half of "White accomplishments" are from those duvious mediterranean, jews, etc....
By american standards Platon, Cesar, Da Vinci, Galileo, Picasso were not white
Andrew Cook
Lol what? People don't consider Mediterraneans white?

By making important historical figures that lived in Europe white.
For example, both Beethoven and Mozart were black, but revisionists kept people from learning about it.

Telling that people claim ancient romans and greeks being White because some of them were described as blonde (probably Brown for northern standards) and blue eyed (dark blue for northeuropean standars).
Validating the point that meds are not considered White as northamerican understand the term White.
Sorry guys but all that "White history" was created by people you dont see as white and who you try again and again to whitewash.
(And now explain that x was blonde and emperor Y was blue eyed but the Arabs, the moors, etc.... Proving the point again)
