Searching online there were about 360 African people between 1500 and 1640 in England and Scotland, this including north and west africans so how many black women could there have been in the second half of the 17 century.
What I don't get about this line of reasoning is, even if they prove these ancient Britons had dark skin, what the fuck does that have to do with modern Africans?
Like, they would have migrated out of Africa generations ago and would be a completely different linage.
I don't think they would care, as long they are not white they get to claim that European accomplishments are theirs, somehow. You see them mixing northern-Africans with sub-Saharan Africans all the time despite not having anything in common.
Yep. Now I’d love a series about an African kingdom pre European arrival that shows slavery as a way to open up the eyes of people who think slavery is an American invention. Also a series about Liberia would be interesting showing the former slaves taking over and treating the natives like crap.
But you are right. You’d never see a Shaka Zulu movie with white people as part of the Zulu tribe. Makes as much sense as black people in 1066 England in positions of power
Was their "whiteness necessary for the characters?
They found a handful of black skeletons in Europe prior to the Age of Explorers, so these places were always diverse.
You just don't like black people in period pieces.
There are still books and movies with all white people for you bigots.
My grandmother told me....
Did I get all the familiar arguments the NPCs will run with?
Handful of black skeletons?
Are this the ones where they refuse to do a skeleton analysis or DNA tests on because reasons?
Around a year ago, or so, they did that research on the plague and wrote that black women were most affected by the plague in London

I didn't write the article. I was using it to show that's what these people think.

Gives new meaning to Black Plague!

The 'anti-racist' side reducing everything thing down to skin colour is hilarious to me.
But yeah, the whole "Egypt is in Africa, therefore = black" is so dumb.
Don’t forget the hack historians who all of a sudden confirm that 1066 England looked like NYC
Yet anything in Africa will always be 100% blacks unless they need an evil white villain
