carthage must be destroyed

Nowhere in that description does it suggest the author believes they were black

>cover image is a fucking sub-saharan ritual mask
>specifically calls them northern-african instead of mediterranean or roman-descendant

>everybody ever was white
how's your grasp on geography?

>Phoenicians weren't white

k

>Forcing modern day categories on ancient peoples

Sorry to break it to you, but whiteness was invented by burgerfats because they have no national culture.

...

Still whiter than the baboons the description makes them out to be

Imagine spending your day sailing the internet looking for offense.

Phoenicians were semitic

>jews were white

Imagine the mental gymnastics racists have to go through every day to convince themselves that everything they're even remotely interested in is white (tm), has always been white (tm), and will always be white (tm).

He didnt say they were white he said they were Semitic.

Nu-/pol/ argues that Judeo-Christian tradition is part of the white culture and should be cherished, anyone who thinks otherwise is a fedora-tipping faggot.
They say this while hating the Jews.

>modern day categories

Sorry but the idea of black people and white people was around thousands of years before the US even existed.

Oops, what's this? A racial caricature? But I thought that race was invented by those evil white guys in America!!!!!

there's a difference between "light skinned" and "angelo white". And "angelo white" is a very american idea. Maybe they should have stopped racial segregation before the 60s.

>A racial caricature?
>can't tell the difference between stylistic art and caricature
goddammit. You racists can't do fucking anything right.

this thread obviously belongs on Veeky Forums

be gone

>angelo white

Speak English please.

They're probably using Northern Africa as a geographical term rather than any racial marker. Besides, using modern day racial categories on ancient people has a whole host of problems. God /pol/ is so fucking dumb.

Those masks weren't made in Northern Africa though.

What is this image depicting? The diversity of the Egyptian people? The different classes of Egyptian society? The Greco-Romans, Nubians, and Egyptians living in Egypt at a certain time? Did it really matter to Egyptians if skin color affected their concenception of "Egyptian-ness"? An out of context picture does little to support your argument.

Explain how in the fuck a nigger-lipped golliwog face is "stylistic art"

>inaccurate design choices are proof of the author's academic beliefs and intent
get fucked

It's probably a stylized depiction of this mask which could have easily been painted in those colors. Painted masks aren't unique to sub-saharan Africans

1: the facial dimensions are not exaggerated and they're accurate of certain regions.

2: that ceramic style is famous for the fact that they only used exactly 3 (three) colors: red, black and white. if the lighter skinned face is red, then of course the darker one would be black.

3. not everything is a 1920s racist cartoon and just because people used to be racists doesn't mean you're less of a sack of shit for being a racist now.

People used brick orphans up in the base of buildings and bridges- that doesn't mean you aren't going to be beaten to death in prison if you do it today.

>book with a retarded "ethnic" cover with no relationship whatsoever with the content
who cares?

also, who is the retard that publishes a book on Carthage and doesn't put a Moloch full of burning babies in the cover? that would sell like popcorn

Thanks for this recommendation OP. I asked Veeky Forums a while back for unified/magisterial accounts of Carthaginian history but it didn't go well. Can't wait to read this now.
