@Novel_Novelty @BENZOTOOIE Did they imply they don't like Chris anymore at some point before this? Why?

@LookAtMyMeat1 There needs to be a constitutional amendment banning millennials from creating anything. Literally everything they like is bad.

@MrOvis_ Thanks!

@jaYTgameNews I'd be more surprised that Neo can talk.

@moaiMsama Perfect.

"Too lazy" says the guy complaining about too many words. I'm objectively right on every substantive factual statement and you've not presented a single counter example, just "trust me bro". I even cited the book you vaguely referenced (Which you couldn't even name), and then you tell me I'm not reading enough. In the end you don't have any supporting material or new arguments, you just don't have any argument and are trying to pretend looking up studies to prove you wrong doesn't and resorting to add hominem. Since you're doing trying you can have fun being delusional by yourself. Blocked.

"Other stuff" and it's citing peer reviewed studies that show that your claims are completely baseless and you were lying about the academic consensus. You're reasserting the same argument that was already dismantled. I did directly contradict, with evidence. And you're coping is "looking up evidence with too many words doesn't count!". You're wrong. Also notice how you're falsely claiming "Greek KIDS plural" when it was a one off specific instance, and again ignoring how broad the term Aithiops was. Quit trying to appropriate greek culture.

@Spurs_Optimist @Martell5000 Your assertions don't mean anything. They're assertions backed by nothing and you're pissy you don't have anything to back up your claims.

@Spurs_Optimist @Martell5000 Honestly you might as well just block me because I don't think the evidence will convince you.

Basically you're out of arguments and are just in complete denial because of your own political ideology. You just want there to be a sub-saharan presence in ancient greece because of your weird politics. You claimed academic consensus was in your favor yet it's clearly not. What evidence there is contradicts you and you dismiss it. The DNA evidence is not “a snappy snap of a Web page referring to a tiny dna trial”. The genetic data come from multiple peer-reviewed, studies using genome-wide ancient DNA (hundreds of thousands to over a million SNPs per individual), not small or fringe tests. The foundational 2017 paper (Lazaridis et al., Nature) analysed genome-wide data from 19 Bronze Age individuals: 10 Minoans from Crete, 4 Mycenaeans from mainland Greece, plus related samples from Anatolia and a Neolithic Greek individual. These were compared against hundreds of other ancient and modern genomes. No sub-Saharan African ancestry was detected. A major 2023 follow-up (Skourtanioti et al., Nature Ecology & Evolution) generated new genome wide data from 102 ancient individuals from Crete, the Greek mainland, and the Aegean Islands, spanning the Neolithic to the Iron Age, explicitly a large expansion of the earlier datasets. Again, the ancestry components are Anatolian Neolithic + Caucasus/Iran-related + (later) steppe-related. Sub-Saharan African ancestry is absent. I quoted you passages from Aristotle's "History of Animals (Historia Animalium). And this entire time you don't provide counter citations, you give assertions and vague references that really fall apart under scrutiny. Just vague unnamed appeals.

@ShitpostRock

I literally already presented the evidence to you as clear as day. The passage you're referring to is in Aristotle’s History of Animals (Historia Animalium), Book VII (sometimes numbered differently across editions; around 7.6 in standard references). He is discussing biological inheritance and how physical traits can skip a generation and reappear later (atavism). “Parents may pass on resemblance after several generations, as in the case of the woman in Elis (or Sicily in some translations), who committed adultery with an Ethiopian; in this case it was not the woman’s own daughter but the daughter’s child that was a blackamoor.” A parallel wording in other translations: “the woman in Elis who committed adultery with the Ethiopian: for her daughter was born not Ethiopian, but the daughter’s child was one.”. Key facts about the passage: It is a single anecdotal example used purely to illustrate heredity, not demography, social history, or common practice. The Greek woman is from Elis; the man is an Ethiopian (Aristotle’s term for a dark-skinned sub-Saharan African). It is explicitly framed as adultery, not a marriage or accepted union. Aristotle pays attention to it precisely because the delayed inheritance is biologically interesting. There is no suggestion that such unions were routine, widespread, or socially unremarkable. This is not evidence of multiple “Greek children” with African fathers as a normal occurrence. It is one rare case of contact involving an individual Ethiopian man present in a Greek area long enough for an illicit relationship. Occasional individuals (traders, slaves, travelers, or auxiliaries) are fully consistent with the mainstream evidence I already cited, ancient DNA showing no sub-Saharan ancestry in Greek population samples, artistic depictions treating Ethiopians as exotic foreigners, literary sources locating them far to the south, and the near-total absence of Black communities or Black citizens in Classical sources. Another point, Aithiops = dark-skinned sub-Saharan African" is a modern gloss. The word means roughly "burnt-face" and Greeks applied it loosely to peoples south of Egypt Nubians and Kushites primarily, and occasionally even to Indians. It's fuzzier than the modern category. One anecdote of adultery or regular intercourse does not equal settled populations, intermarriage as a norm, or “Black Greeks.”. And even then the child still inherits partial Greek identity by blood from the Greek mother. Aristotle himself (and related texts like the Physiognomics) treats Ethiopians and Egyptians as distinct groups with different physical traits from Greeks. He is not describing them as part of the Greek ethnos.

It's kind of Weird with RWBY. The early volumes had this amazing choreography but outside of that most of the animation was jank. BUT the choreography made it special. Then the later volumes had better animation on a technical level but the choreography took a nosedive hard, the thing that made it special. It really shows misplaced priorities.

@ShitpostRock He kind of looks like Anton Chigurh.

No, I'm not. Your claim is completely false and you're literally inverting what the evidence says. Mainstream scholarship (ancient DNA, archaeology, art history, and literary sources) supports scarcity of sub-Saharan Africans in Classical Greece (roughly 5th–4th centuries BC), with any presence limited to rare individuals rather than populations. You are the one making things up and contradicting actual findings, likely citing debunked assertions from the "Black Athena" crowd. And are doing this for racial-political reasons so you can engage in racist cultural appropriation.

Their identity was Ethno-cultural. It's ethnicity and culture. Ethnicity is based on heritage, it's more granular and specific than modern race categories. And again, they did see race, they just had different racial categories than what we used and would mock or be prejudice against other races (like celts). It was again, not simply cultural and you couldn't be from any ethnic group and still be Greek. I'll point out again, Athens had laws in regards to this that excluded people based on heritage. You had to be born Athenian to be a citizen of Athens. Someone from Africa could not come into Greece and start claiming to be Greek. And there's a difference between, "There were black people IN greece" and "there were black greeks". A very very small handful of black people potentially visited ancient Greece. But the statement "There were no Black greeks" is correct, there were none. And there's nothing wrong with that. I don't think it diminishes Black people to just say that they weren't greek, just like there aren't white Nigerians. These are categories used to describe groups of people. I know it feels mean to say "well you can't be Black and Greek", but it's just definitially true. Sub-saharan africans were foreigners. There's no evidence any of them settled in Greece. Ethnicity is again, especially back then, not just something any group of people can adopt. It's not purely cultural like you're implying, that's not accurate.

Master Chief vs Freddy Fazbear animation is finally done. This thing took 7 weeks of my life lol. Here's a short clip of it, and if you want you can check out the full thing on YouTube (link in the replies). #b3d #FNAF #Halo.
