Beef, you havent posted in a few days.

How was your Christmas?

~PEACE~

I really don't read your posts much anymore, it's too frustrating. You are apparently a bottomless pit of misinformation.... however, your reasoning that the use of white marble somehow was used to whitewash him is ludicrous and just wrong on so many levels it's truly amazing.


Everybody is wrong sometimes. Again, it's you "teaching" that is a scary proposition.

Do any of you read before replying?

I never said that white marble was used to change history. I simply said that when you look at pictures of black statues it looks more reasonably toned.

Those are two very drastically different statements, and I only said one of them.

do you think before you make any of your statements? you implied the "more reasonable tone" was purposeful, otherwise what was your point?

My point was that the black statue looks right, not that the white statue must have been chosen so we would think he was white.

Are you even part of your own argument, or am I the only one that knows what you said 2 posts ago? Because I feel like you are not only ignoring what I say, but what you have said. You are ignoring yourself

What you think 'looks right' is irrelevant because you're not an authority. I'm positive there are good reasons (based on actual evidence not just an opinion) that historians generally regard Socrates as Caucasian, not black.

Why don't you research the topic before you post, to see what the experts believe, and why? The basis for the fringe belief that Socrates was black is based in Afrocentrism, another fringe, widely-rejected philosophical ideology. (Bullshit)

I'll just cut to the chase: what is your source material?

Again, you are not proving anything. I actually listed my reasons, I didn't just say they were up my sleeves. I SHOWED you and told you how it makes complete sense.

I'll just cut to the chase, try reading the actual thread before replying.

Many different people from history are being realized as black, I am just pointing out another one.

This is about the current Santa argument and shows the white and black sides. FF to 5 min

Source material please. Intuition IS NOT research. No I don't read your sophistry anymore, and won't give it ANY credence until you say where you "learned" this.

The Daily show is hilarious, and if you put this on FOX JS would be riding you like he did MK.

Dude, you are the one that needs facts. You came in here proving NOTHING. Watch the fucking video before telling me what it is and what it is not.

In the video is shows how SCIENTISTS reconstructed what Santa would have looked like (a Greek Bishop) and he was black.

Skip to 6:22 to see the reconstruction.

Source material?

This is what forensic scientists say Santa looked like

Right back at ya Mr. "I'm positive scientists have reasons for thinking he's white"

What are those reasons

Do you know any greeks? Have you seen a greek? Saint nick is NOT socrates.

hahahahahaha going to paint me a racist because YOU need to define Santa's color!?!?!?!?!? There was a Saint Nick who was fictionalized into a white man who lives at the northpole and delivers gifts to children; he's not real. Now Krampus, well he's another story.

I said that Santa and Jesus and many others would come up as well.

But the forensic scientists did not base the face on a skeleton, they based it on people common to the region of the world known as Greece, which is now Turkey, and paintings.

And that is what I am doing for Socrates, maybe I'm not a forensic scientist, but you can't tell me....



These top two guys don't look more like relatives than these bottom two... You just can't say that.
