^^ Thanks for the concerns but I mentioned "People of Color" in my original post...that doesnt equal black (as far as I know)

Maybe I should change the title but my intention was to show people of darker hue's in religious texts.

This person is more likely Dravidian than black, unless otherwise stated in texts. There may have been Siddis or another group of Africans called the Zanj people in ancient India but unless it's stated in the texts, i'd say this person is most likely Hindi. You have to be careful with modern images as well. Paintings from that time or statues (From that time, cause again, there are modern sculptors) is one thing...But you can't base someone's race on what modern artists think they looked like. Some of the quotes are interesting and at least use words associated with ancient Africans, like "Cushite" and "Nubian". Of course, as we all know from ABF, these people are phenotypically, geographically, and culturally different, though.

Dravidians




Your saying that Cushites, Nubians, Ethiopians/Sudanese are not black Africans?
