Why were ancient Romans so racist against white people? Is this still true today?
>>2701889
Because gay shit.
No.

>It's another "only blond barbarians are white" episode
Of course germanic scum was seen as inferior. After all, they were filthy barbarians living in huts with barely any form of scripture, in a time when southern Europeans were the apex of civilisation.
And when Julian speaks of Africans, he's obviously talking about the people that Romans called Africans, i.e., Egyptians, Numidians, Berbers, not Sub Saharan blacks.
Kys.

Black people are constantly narrowly defined by their lowest common denominator. What's wrong with doing it to white people.
>It's a daily shitposting thread created by a filthy Terrone "We wuz Roman n shit"
>>2702059
they bathed every morning actually, and huts is a little misleading when the modern imagination would probably be drawn to the huts of modern indigenous people
>>2701889
the romans are like the quintessential white people of history dipshit, they were not "people of colour" despite what spoilt brown college kids might insist. And a guy looking just like that statue wouldn't look out of place in any white country in the world, except maybe a scandinavian or baltic country but only because of the jet black hair
>>2702059
>he thinks Julian did not know and speak of Ethiopians
lol brainlet
>>2702533
t. Germanic barbarian
>>2702535
Ethiopian literally means burnt face in greek. It's the equivalent of calling someone crispy.
>>2702543
I'm greek actually. Germanic people stand out like a sore thumb here. Not only because they are blond, but because they are...wait for it....darker skinned then Greeks on average.
>>2702575
and we do have natural blondes here, enough that you'll see at least a couple every day, so its not such a big deal anyway, but scandinavians look different to greeks, blonde or not, so they still stand out.
>>2701889
It's kinda irony cause the nigger in the pic was one of the worst Roman emperors.

The Catholic Church and the feudal system bestowed a few things to European populations.
Catholic Church - banning cousin marriage
Feudal System/Manoralism - Eugenics via the noble of an estate who had the power to decide if two serfs were allowed to marry
Additionally, England executed 1% of the most violent of its population (murderers) every year for a period of a few centuries post-1066, putting additional eugenic pressure.
>>2702584
Caracalla isn't even bottom ten
>>2702604
>Caracalla
>Nero
>Caligula
>Elagabalus
The big 4
>>2702623
None of those guys are even especially bad Emperors politically speaking. The actual big 4 would be something like
>Honorius
>Valentinian III
>Phocas
>Andronikos II
Not counting all the useless figureheads towards the end of the WRE, because doing nothing is probably better than being actively terrible
>>2702533
You know that Caracalla was Punic-Syrian, right?
White nationalists BTFO
>>2702623
Babby's first list of bad Roman emperors. Pathetic

S-sauce?
>>2702663
Ah. 23andme said I was 1/2 Ashkenazi (49.5%) and some part black (10%). My dad's side is from Mississippi and I guess his ancestors owned a plantation and all that.
>>2702663
People still post that debunked study in 2017?
>>2702672
More proof that Jews really were plantation owners? shut it down.
>>2702677
From my mom lol. parents were immigrants, grandad russian, grandmom ukranian.
>>2702672
I bet you grow a fro?
>>2702690
Not as neat as a jew fro. It's a clusterfuck of hair that wants to be straight and hair that wants to be curls all over the godamn place.
>>2702677
I'd look at (((owners of slave vessels))) if you want to see the jews in the South.
>>2702697
Aright then. Fro nation. The fro is the true divider.
>>2701889
The Romans didn't have a concept of "white". Italians > Hellenes > Gauls > Germanics.
>>2702726
Because the Romans probably didn't see a nigger in their entire history.
>>2702877
Some black people lived in the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire, in what is now North Sudan, and they had some contact with the Ethiopians. So no, you're just an idiot.
>>2702877
>Because the Romans probably didn't see a nigger in their entire history
is /pol/ really that fucking stupid?
white meant you were from Rome you fucking idiot
>>2702877
dude they tried to invade Ethiopia
>>2702877
You do Germans, and Parthians, and Dacians, Caelia,
you don’t scorn Cappadocian, Cilician beds;
and fuckers from Memphis, that Pharian city,
and Red Sea’s black Indians sail towards you.
You’d not flee the thighs of a circumcised Jew,
not an Alan goes by, with Sarmatian horse too.
What’s the reason, then, since you are a Roman,
not one Roman member pleases you, woman?
>>2703053
>african = nigger
>black man = nigger
How about you stop being white?
>>2701889
Kys nigger faggot cunt

>whereas he saw Aryans and Anglo-Saxons
Please don't tell me this is referring to Germanic peoples as "Aryans." Sorry to break it to you Cletus but Aryan is an Indo-Iranian (Persian) term. Quit appropriating us.
