Effectronica posted:cleopatra was also fairly competent for a ptolemeian as i recall, actually learning egyptian she gets credit for being able to know a winning team when she saw one and helping orchestrate a relatively (emphasis on relatively) painless transition into the Roman sphere, which is more than you can say about a lot of rulers at the time. the whole antonius thing was a serious gently caress up, but i can almost forgive it because really set aside everything you know about history and ask yourself who you would back in a fight between julius caesar's right hand man and his pissant nephew who everyone knows is a coward and sycophant.

nutranurse posted:pop history's part of the reason why the confederacy's gotten its image reworked into being what it is now Yeah, well, the good news is the younger wave of pop historians doesn't seem to be on that wavelength, at least. Mike Duncan is a cool dude no matter what R. Mute thinks, and he's gone out of his way to say, "Hey, American Revolutionary leaders - this is a pretty big black mark on your records." PS - that wasn't meant as a diss at you, R. Mute, you're a pretty cool dude too. nutranurse posted:robbing people of their cultural ties does a lot of really hosed up things to their descendants, self-identity wise Yeah, I can definitely sympathize. Everybody wants to be connected with something big historically, and it would be only fair for black people, who have gotten so unbelievably royally hosed over for centuries and stripped of their cultural roots, to in fact descend directly from the Egyptians. But luckily, genetic testing can do some pretty cool things nowadays in tracing people's family roots, so who knows. Maybe we'll see a greater interest in West African culture in the US before long.

Effectronica posted:People were talking about the elderly and anime, and well A friend convinced me to go to Anime LA this year and I saw the convention founder, looked like the main character of Whomp! aged up 40 years. Also saw a camera guy with a t-shirt from a basement convention in 1988, so that anime convention shirt is slightly older than I am.

I'm not thinking about it as something that EVERYBODY does, but you know. At least it would be nice if more schools taught West African history and cultural things. R.

Xhosa girls are the most beautiful, brightest, resourceful women I've met, and I'm not just saying that because a bestie is married to Zimbabwe's NUMBER ONE WOMAN, the Miss Zim if she ever wanted it, the jewel of Africa and blood diamond of his heart, top of her class at public school and star of Uni of Harere.

It amazes me that there are still posters who don't post pictures in the picture thread. That thread really just draws in the dumbest loving posters, there are at least one or two probations a day ever since the enforcement of the 'post a picture' rule stepped up a while back.
