They subdued great swathes of the reast of the planet. Gotta give them top marks for ruthless conquest. Along the way,big parts of Africa, where the really dark-skinned people are from, were made sources of slave labor. So the world got light skin = master, black skin - slave. Afro-centrism is a laudable project to overturn those equivalencies. Too bad some Afrocentrists go way overboard. Certainly the Egyptians and related peoples were dark brown to pure black, white supremists to the contrary notwithstanding. Certainly all dark skinned people are not necessarily of African descent. Please calm down Afrocentrists! I'm on your side, just pointing out that the arguments VAn Sertima and others make for some links have to admitted to be pretty weak. As for Shakyamuni -- the Shakyas were a northern group, so most probably not very dark. Buddha was a monk, so probably didn't have much visible hair. We plain don't know for sure what he looked like. We can be proud of our African looks and African heritage without insisting Buddha shared our biological ancestry in his lifetime as the Tathagatha. Can't we?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939963516236435150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-24850227758060656412019-10-25T16:33:19.453-07:002019-10-25T16:33:19.453-07:00Buddha would not have been white. The people Buddh...Buddha would not have been white. The people Buddha came from were black. White people were not indigenous to the area. In fact, I'm pretty sure Buddha did not have a fat belly and an effeminate face. Buddha was a pregnant black woman and representative of a time when women ruled religion. Men took over, over time and turned Buddha into a man and turned effeminate angels into men. That's what the story of Adam and Eve was. "Adam" translates into "man rose" and Eve depicted as a woman translates into "night fell on woman".

For what its worth one of Krishna's names translates as curly-haired, and Rama was described as having a fleshy nose and fleshy lips in contrast to his half-brother Lakshman, but it is surprising how the popular depictions of Rama and Krishna tend to ignore those descriptions.<br /><br /><br />sporo2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08704871095844496897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-40555397993199520272017-10-08T23:06:21.469-07:002017-10-08T23:06:21.469-07:00http://soultravelrules.com/2017/10/08/spiritual-po...http://soultravelrules.com/2017/10/08/spiritual-power-hair/<br /><br /><br />This is the answer to why the Buddha wore his hair like that.

Severa...Tonya, Evenwhenilie, love angel & Anne<br /><br />Several points. <br /><br /> 1. Buddha's hair was not in Bantu knots. He was most likely bald like all spiritual seekers in India. Visual depictions of him came several centuries after. The statues in India show him with wavy hair ant the others in SE Asia show him with short hair that has curled. <br /> <br />2. Buddha's mother was not African. Where do you get this nonsense? She was South Asian and Dravidians are not black. Google Aishwarya Rai or Vidya Balan. Do they look African to you? Besides, there is no race of people called Dravidians. It simply means people from the south. And there was no Aryan invasion either. Genetics shows that Aryans evolved from India. I don't care if you cite an Indian website. <br /><br />3. Neither Buddha nor the Dravidians have recent African ancestry. The last common ancestor between Indians and Africans was 70,000 years ago. The only Indians with African ancestry are the approx. 20,000 Siddis that were brought over by the Muslims in the 11th century. <br /><br />4. There is nothing this white gentleman has said that is racist. Stop playing the race card. Just because he called out this nonsense that Afrocentrics put out doesn't mean he is a racist. Why is it OK for black people to become offended simply when a white person has his/her hair in cornrows, yet it's OK for blacks to appropriate entire cultures?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821263989044448673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-679156921567360322015-12-02T05:39:28.643-08:002015-12-02T05:39:28.643-08:00What a load of racist bullcrap - written by a WHIT...What a load of racist bullcrap - written by a WHITE 'Buddhist' none the less.
