I suggest you read Black Athena by Martin Bernal ..this gives a great description of how Africans influenced the Greeks. Another great author is Howard Zinn. Hey and would you guess that these men are white speaking of the greatness of Africans!!!

Greek Reconstructionism\nhttp://www.hellenion.org/\nhttp://www.sponde.com/\nhttp://www.elaion.org/\n\nThey attempt to honor Greek Gods in a way that reflects the ancient Greek cultures as accurately as possible in our modern world.  Like any other Pagan Reconstructionist, they are an excellent source for accurate information concerning the culture of the peoples who once worshiped their deities.

In Roman History Macedonian are Macedonian, read Bible, Apostolic Pavel met first Macedonian, after that he met Greek. Original Greek have dark skin, Macedonian white. They can change history, but Bible that's Big sin. They really believe that Macedonia is Greek, they learn that.\nhttp://www.popovashapka.com/macedoniainfo/history/ancient_macedonians.htm

Blacks have made many important contributions throughout history in science, medicine, law, athletics, and many other fields. In other words, it's not just the music.

If you're asking why most blacks seem to have an affinity for the Democratic Party, it's because they were the party that at the forefront of the civil rights movement in the 60's.\n\nThe Republicans were in office that spearheaded the Civil War.  The Democrats during the Civil War were in favor of slavery.

An excellent movie! Although I have seen the movie several times and am taking a class regarding the Greeks and Romans, I cannot recall any particular historical difference. You could try imdb.com

The ancient Greeks fought with the Persians a lot.  (Does Alexander the Great ring a bell? He united greece and fought the persians- took control of their land- and then went on to take over other civilzations.)

The Romans basically took their gods from the Greeks, by way of the Etruscans.  The names are different but the stories are pretty similar.

Negro means "black" in the Spanish, Portuguese and ancient Italian languages, being derived from the Latin word niger of the same meaning. Prior to the 1970s, it was the dominant term for African Americans; in the great majority of English-language contexts (except, depending on interpretation, its inclusion in the names of organisations founded when the term had currency), it is now considered either archaic or a slur.

Yes they are and I can prove it, The whole bible prophecies the history of blacks, blacks have always seen the similarities but never made the connection. Didn't you know blacks during the slave trade was know by Muslims as "Yahoodee" meaning tribe of Israel? Did you know at of all the people on the face of the Earth who claim to be Hebrews would envy the Ashanti's. The name mean people for the land of Ashan in Judah? Did you it was a place during the slave trade call the "Land of Judah" by the french? Did you ever hear of the Falasha's or beta Israel, Ibo's, Lemba, Yoruba, Fanti, etc. Were call Israelites by Muslims over 1000 years ago? Look it up the Hebrew/Jewish customs in Africa, you will find lots of info. Especially in on the west coast of Africa.

Time to crack open the history books there...\n\nWhen the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as the state religion, they made it illegal to participate in any other religion (to control the population...that message of "render unto Ceaser..."). When new areas were conquered, the leaders, both secular and religious, were eliminated by conversion...accepting Christianity and the dominion of the Roman Empire, or dying. In order to control the conquered people, the old faiths were made illegal. \n\nNow, add in mysogeny. Males sought to control and enslave women. A woman who knew herbology and had a healing hand was a threat to male doctors' practice, or who was 'wise' was a threat to the role of the priests as givers of moral rules and advice, etc. Many of the old faiths were matriarchal, as well, and the knowledge of wise decisions, of herbology/medicine, etc. were passed woman-to-woman.\n\nWicca stems from European nature worship prior to the controls placed there by patriarchal Christianity introduced during martial conquests by the Romans (and their splinter kingdoms after the fall of the empire).\n\nAdd in the mistranslation of "do not suffer a poisoner to live" (in the Hebrew) with "do not suffer a witch to live" (that tie-in to herbology, again)...\n\nSo, modern Wiccans tap deep-rooted generational fears by Christians raised in the ancient prejudice against the "old ways." Part of it is the unfortunate choice of self-naming modern celebrants of ancient pre-Christian pantheons/nature awareness to call themselves witches.\n\nGood luck on your report!

Only the American Blacks, my best friend from South Africa is quiet and unassuming, but he commented about how the American Blacks were different too...  We both figured it had something to do with the 'slavery' chip on the shoulder they carry around similar to the 'holocaust' chip on the should that the Jews carry around....

I think that is a really good thought provoking question.  But you have to consider to that Africa was also affected by the slavery trade as well as being Colonised by European countries.  In fact it wasn't until the late 20th century that South Africa was still under the complete control of European Colonists.  But as an African American I can say that I am very happy and fill privileged to be born in America.

The Romans incorporated many of the Gods and Goddesses of the people they conquered.  It was an ingenious way to control the masses.
