Sarcarm or no sarcasm, that's all I needed to hear. This thread is a waste of time.

Btw, there is no mention of "People of color" in the title or your first post...Only "Blacks". Africans are present in history, in more than just shackles...You should take the time to uncover it, rather than fabricate it. Learn to find clues to your convictions in more than just empty words like "Black" and "Dark"...Learn to find appropriate and factual images and/or texts to accompany your "Proof"...Not just modern texts and images that unreliably confirm what you want to believe.

And if your conviction about what someone said is so great...Why not quote where you read it from? Leo Africanus? Al-Jahiz? The Histories? We'd like to hear what these great ancients had to say.

I dont know why you when in attack mode but I was really trying to understand...I have no problem humbling myself just wanted to clearify a little. I assure you If you read what I posted you will see a reference to "People of Color" at the end which includes more than just black African people (hence the Krishna post)

Again, the images were just Eye Candy not real biblical representations I apologize if you wanted more evidence but I thought the biblical text was pretty clear (referencing location and color)

The other qoutes from Herodotus, Strabo etc (I assume thats one of the qoutes you are talking about) are just some things you could look up but you can start here:

Most scholars would dismiss the accounts of Herodotus, Strabo, and Diodorus as compelling evidence to support the existence of women warriors in Africa, although all three ancient writers have proved accurate in the great majority of their testable observations about life in the centuries before Christ. As time proceeds, the evidence supporting the presence of a tradition of African women warriors grows in its persuasiveness. An impressive series of Nubian warrior queens, queen regents, and queen mothers, known as kentakes (Greek: Candace "Candake"), are only appearing to the light of history through the ongoing deciphering of the Meroitic script. They controlled what is now Ethiopia, Sudan, and parts of Egypt. http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/new...reply&p=931061
