@NeCacaluXuxultic you need to clarify that you only represent racist like yourself.

@apachesbutterfly, do ya even KNOW what the definition of a racist is!? The definition is when ONE person things they are superior to another race. I don't think I am superior to blacks because i have a LOT of black friends who are smarter, stronger, etc than me. They know I use the N-word and they also know that i am not racist. Because when I use the word..I call the INDIVIDUAL..not person. I do have to admit that I have lost my temper on that one but it really gets to me to see this BS!

hahaha..tis foo says look@ the nose…lol.NATVIES were all shapes & sizes..& noses too..some had bid noses some had small some had wide some had compressed..this is really funny…

there's only superficial evidence that Olmecs were black, the colossal heads. But full lips and broad noses are not exclusive to Africa, there are plenty in South and Central America that fit this description. why not celebrate the legitimate achievments of the many African civilizations then try to hijack another?
@shooshoobob1
September 17, 2010 at 2:48 pm
@Alara0625 those Olmec heads represent Mixe-Zoquean peoples, our civilizations were and always will be Native American, and no superficial resemblance or Afro-centric crap can ever change that, like i said, stop trying to hijack another civilization and celebrate your own
@shooshoobob1
September 19, 2010 at 3:00 am
@Alara0625 Broad noses and fat lips aren't exclusive to Africa, they're pretty common in South America, IF Africans came over, they would have brought old world disease, and Native Americans would have been immune when the Europeans arrived…that right there invalidates the Afro-centric theory. All you have to go by are superficial resemblances

September 19, 2010 at 12:10 pm
mannnnn first they try to feed and tell us that aztecs/olmec/native americans are asian descendants,now this bulls.hit!!! come'on man!!!!!!
@shooshoobob1
September 24, 2010 at 1:50 pm
@Alara0625 Broad noses and full lips are not exclusive to Africa, they can still be found among many Native Americans, especially in and around the Amazon and some in Mexico as well. Why couldn't the Native America develop the pyramid independently, after all the people of India, Indonesia and Peru did, hell Peru even had mummies, does that make all THESE people African?
@shooshoobob1
September 24, 2010 at 5:28 pm
@Alara0625 By your logic EVERYONE is African, even Europeans since humanity came from Africa. As for pyramid building, there are many civilizations outside of Africa known for their Pyramids, like the Aztec, Maya, Olmec, Mixtec. The ziggurats were pyramids, they came from Mesopotamia, which was before Egypt. In Indonesia, the Sukuh Temple bears more resemblance to a Mesoamerican pyramid than any African pyramid and i know the Javanese aren't African
@shooshoobob1
September 25, 2010 at 6:09 pm
@Alara0625 the only evidence you have is superficial resemblance, if you dig deeper, you will find that any evidence is seriously flawed
@shooshoobob1
September 25, 2010 at 6:12 pm
@Alara0625 dude, you are seriously in denial, you and all afro-centrists, get over your ethnocentrism and stop trying to hijack other cultures accomplishments
@shooshoobob1
September 25, 2010 at 6:18 pm
@Alara0625 Mesopotamia and Egypt influenced each other since they were around at roughly the same time, the area between the Tigris and Euphrates is where civilization was invented. Just because there is no pyramids standing, doesn't mean they don't exist, look at any depiction of the ziggurats and it's plain to see that they're pyramids, Sukuh Temple in Java. LMFAO you say none of the Mesoamerican nations built pyramids? i think you should get out from under your rock
@shooshoobob1
September 25, 2010 at 6:25 pm
@Alara0625 the sphinx has nothing to do with Mesoamerica, full lips and wide noses are fairly common among South American people. Just the fact that disease decimated Native American societies proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Africans either didn't come, or if they did they didn't really impact the area much. Why are you denying that other civilizations built pyramids? all these non African pyramids are plain to see, many a tourist's camera can show you
@shooshoobob1
September 25, 2010 at 6:30 pm
@Alara0625 "What Native American people built Pyramids besides the Olmecs, name one?" Aztec, Maya, Pipil, Moche, Toltec, Teotihuacan, Mixtec…shall i go on?. I refuse to answer the rest of your straw man arguments in that comment.
@shooshoobob1
September 25, 2010 at 6:49 pm
@Alara0625 you can beleive what you want, even if the evidence points completely to the contrary, you can continue with your closet racism if that makes you happy 🙂

The implication that the any Mesoamerican Cultures abducted and enslaved Africans is a malicious fabrication. Oh yeah and the British Isles were inhabited by Celts, Gaels, Bretons, and Picts and their priests were called Bards and Druids. Nefertiti was from european descent most likely from Celtic origin. The cactus plant is peyote which is used for Shamanic Spirit Visions. The Aztecs claim Aztlan as their place of origin which is Teotihuacan. Not enough space to disprove the rest.

its obvious that the people leaving negative comments havent done a proper investigation the flat noses and the big lips basically says that they were blk also no people in there rite mind would keep makin statues of slaves and not make any of there selves it hurts them when they find out the greatest civilizations cm from kemet
@jusosick

Don't get me wrong there were Maya…but if you go to Bonampak you will clearly see they painted themselves Black. There are many other sacred sites and remaining pieces of artwork that clearly show the Maya painting themselves either Black or Brown. The name Olmec comes from Al-Mex…and they were part of the most ancient civilization that was throughout the world now called the Mound Builders by archeologist. You can go read and find out the truth for yourself….

@mrtundra45 I love how me saying the truth is called rage. I speak the truth. The day of rage is over. The knowledge is out. And the only loser here is the one calling people one without knowing them. You must be some kind of racist because you got upset when I simply pointed out the link between our people assuming you are Mexican. Our people have more in common than some of the people leaving ignorant comments here seem to realize.

@mrtundra45 I am the Original Man. My people are Millions of years old. Why should I have a slave complex? Because out of the Millions of years my people have been enslaved for a couple hundred? I hate to break it to you but the civilizations that you are so proud of were thousands of years old before your ancestors began sacrificing people to the Gods that created the monuments. It is not said in hate. Like I said Black and Brown are brothers. We lived in peace for a long time.
@TheMaddBlackMann
March 14, 2011 at 11:51 pm
@mrtundra45 Look. You are a Mexican racist who wishes he was white. I bet you are even Catholic. Look at you. I bet you speak spanish with pride. Then you have the nerve to try to claim the Olmecs? You embrace the conquistadors. They killed you then and they are killing you now. You are an idiot who does not want to look at facts. So stop bothering me with nonsense if you are not ready for a sensible discussion. I am a member of the Original people of this planet in which you descended from.

@209northsidexiv are you talking about stealing a culture and a race? wich right have azkhenazi "jews" to colonize israel? azkhenazi is not a son of sem it is means not semitic.they are the son of jafet sem brother like cam the black man father of civilization father of cus father of nimrod..the truth is: a non semitic converted to judaism in asia is clamming and stolen a land a race they not are.this man may not have right, but to discredit oder people u are not the better one. shalom .

@209northsidexiv lies lies and more lies, life began in AFRICA. the first humans were BLACK get the fuck over it. and Asians did DNA tests and their genes root back to Africa. STOP LYING TO YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE. yes the pyramids of egypt belonged to the black and arabs, but not the mexican pyramids, and i don't claim SHIT in mexico, stop putting every black person in one category you hypocrite.

the idea of this video parts from the conception that it is an almost photografic representation or a black man carved in stone…it was not intended to be that so it is not a black man!..besides that it has been proven with genetical studies of the non mixed etnias of those regions of mexico..they had nothing that relates them to africans…other than all of us coming from the first human beings that evolved there…we mexicans created our own cultures with no influence from anybody!

it is really sad to see the desperation shown in all these videos to demonstrate the idea that all of native american culture and civilization came from africa, taking giant leaps in arqueology, logic, etnography and in general all sciences to fill in the gaps that make ap this "theory"and ignoring the real science facts that prove otherwise..the most simple fact …take a look at the natives of the americas still surviving…they are so obviously not african!..really sad poor black ppl rootless

Why is this crazy man shouting? He has a damn microphone. I'll have to assume he's wrong since 1.) He's shouting and 2.) there is no archaeological evidence of pre-Columbian contact with the Americas by what this bellowing buffoon calls "black" people. Only a real Uncle Tom would perpetuate the fictitious "racial" categories created by 18th-century white supremacists to divide humanity. In the beginning, we ALL came from Africa. We are one species.

Rootless? Lol, Conan the Barbarian verses Ramses…whos people say they came from…?… Logic?…Hieroglyphics in America…Australia. Pyramid building. And he didnt say it all came from Africa. Some came from China and India before that and Africa before that. Some went from Africa to China to America.
