Fantastic, I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and for your feedback. From a research perspective this was one of the most fascinating videos I've worked on in this series and I learnt so much about the Afro-Greek community in the process! And yes, thankfully those who espouse hate are still in the minority. Thanks again for watching!

Which one of your parents is Greek?

Nikolas, I am Half Greek and African American considering moving my family to greece . Will my sons be safe ?

Just a small group of Greeks are racist, of course!

This is so true!! During those days there are people who try to convince me that Greeks are the same as European colonisers and I know this is not true because we’ve been the same hell!

Greeks more common culture with Nigeria than with Europe! + we were slaves under the Ottoman Empire and later many islands under British Empire! If you see a lot of Greeks are darker in skin tones as you go into southern of Greece! Many are brown as well! That’s why Europeans doesn’t like us! We are the only country in the world we have about slavery in our national anthem! The ppl who are racist are even against their own! They tried to hard to be accepted from Europeans. Do you know during Minors Asia catastrophe British, Italian and French ship didn’t accept to save Greeks and Armenians and left them die with the excuse “not white enough”? Yes as Greeks especially during summer became brown even by walking or driving! Some of them are brown anyways! So my question is: are we white Europeans? They said yes but if so then the population who is brown what are they? How can be excluded from their culture?

The Greeks aren’t racists - they hate everyone; especially other Greeks.

Michael Jackson was right when he said at that conference that history is a lie

Thank you so much!

Totally agreed!

@Ricky Lindon true but democracy evolves as ethics changes and communities modernized from the primal forms!

@@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988 What black Greeks? African Greeks are a small minority, why would the media advertise them? They are just Africans brought to Greece by foreign imperialists. Unlike the USA and the UK, Greece did not colonize Sub Saharan Africans.

You just have to look and you can see the features depicted in Greek art ..Greece us a mixed society from the beginnings of time ...

Hi Christian, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it and thank you for your feedback 😊

You're talking about the village of Avato, Ottoman records show no African slaves in the region, only a small Muslim Greek and Bulgarian population. The only clues we have is that the British brought Sudanese mercenaries in the region during the first world war which makes more sense. The population was offered to find their roots and they immediately refused. Also they don't consider themselves Greek, on the contrary they are loyal to Turkey.

@@mackjeez in ottoman empire there were also black people mainly from Ethiopia that were in sultan palaces, they were called Kızlar ağası.

They are mixed. This is very simple to understand. All Greeks are not African and ancient Greeks were not African or black

That's because the influx of foreign immigrants to Greece is a relatively recent development. Until the mid-90's, Greece was always a net exporter of people, which is why there is a large Greek diaspora around the world.

@Black Lesbian Poet You can't "take back" something that "wuz" never yours. Nice rhyme, though.

The original Greeks were Afro-Asiatic people who had been subjugated by invading Scythians Indo-European (Ashkenazim). The modern Greeks descended from Scythians/Ashkenazim Indo-European

@@FreedomIsMineOfficial I Thank you for thanking me and your welcome. 😊

I'm so sorry for the backlash that you are getting in the comment section about the video

A rare 1976 Brazilian history book entitled "História Geral" written by Osvaldo R. de Souza suggests that the first Greeks were dark skinned and still rules out the possibility of they were Indo-European ppl. Actually he claimed that they were not Indo-Europeans

@@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988 Yes but Europeans wants us that way to steal our culture and claim them as theirs!

Hey, hope I can help connect some dots. Somalis were expert seafarers in the ancient world. They were also actively involved in Indo-Greco-Roman trade as merchants in the classical era. The gulf of Aden connects to the Red Sea & they had access to the Mediterranean world beyond that. Super interesting to see how interconnected humans are. Love from a Somali :)

Thank you! ✊🏽

Freedom Is Mine Official I hope you know it’s really important for us to support each to tell our real history that other white groups claim just like ancient Egypt for example thank you for your work

I hope through making these videos I can help to shed some light on the history, culture and contribution of Afrodescendant people worldwide which, as you say, is often overlooked.

Freedom Is Mine Official you heard of UFO before am just asking you question it’s something related to us black people

What UFO?

Thought Greeks didn’t took the credits! It’s not even referred in Greece! The Europeans did it and just gave it as Greek to be acceptable!

True that but the ignorant will do as they always do label us afrocentrists. They always do the opposite btw

The reason why it's not from the Iliad.but a later story added on by the other story tellers of the Trojan war..was big in Egypt .in reality was made up to make the war seem bigger and exaggerated plus the Indian thing comes with memnon.

Thanks Shirley! 🤗

Africans were much closest to the Greeks as compassion and respect even more than any other ppl in the world!

Do this and don’t forget Greeks were slaves from 400 years under Ottomans and British and many islands under French and Italians. As we weren’t white enough! As a lot of Greeks (if not the majority) are brown skin colour!

And is it just me or is she jaw-dropping...?

Good video though, very interesting considering I thought only Persians and Indians integrated with Greek society.

Wow you’re black and Italian! Not too many of you around. Italian women stay away from us like the plague. I bet your father is Italian

Who are you to tell them where they should go? Are you financing their migration?

@@BriLaDivina98 I agree with you 🤣

I know many black migrants that live in Norway, and they are mostly very nice people. Cut your racism, would you?

If you want to know they preferred to go to Greece as they had been treated better and equal + they were to Greek universities for religious studies as Christians and learn the original text of the Bible! All the above they didn’t treats us as equals! Because even Greek have been treated as inferiors to those countries!

Wrong.

​@@supr4rce U are correct, the white Hellenes, (my ancestors) destroyed the pelasgayns and send them back to africa. Now this land belongs to us(white Hellenes).

Um, no; modern Greeks are actually still very closely genetically aligned to their bronze Age ancestors: www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/08/greeks-really-do-have-near-mythical-origins-ancient-dna-reveals

@@Paulynyc you do realize that the Mycenaeans were descendants of Stone Age Egyptians and the Stone Age Egyptians were Nilotic people, right? Your article is claiming they are not genetically related to Egyptians which completely defies logic and destroys the scientifically proven fact that modern humans originate from East Africa, not the Eurasian steppe or Anatolia. The article is making the claim of the Mycenaeans being genetically Caucasian based on Eurasian DNA from ethnic mixing, not by tracing Mycenaean’s genetic and geographic origins which come from Stone Age Egypt/Kemet. That’s like me claiming I’m Caucasian because I had ONE great grandfather on my mother’s side that was a white man and ignoring the other 90% of my genetic tree that’s African. The Mycenaeans did not originate from Indo-European or Eurasian origins because their ancestral lineage goes back to before “white” people even existed-how does that work? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Age The Stone Age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. The period lasted for roughly 3.4 million years,[1] and ended between 4,000 BCE and 2,000 BCE,[citation needed] The Mycenaeans spoke Dravidian languages which are prehistoric African in origin. Dravidian people are unmistakably very dark skin people, not white like your deceptive article ignorantly portrays by using Hellenistic art that stems from Alexandrian Greek art. Smh. What you found was another article based on Eurocentric geneticist’s attempt to align Europeans with Pelasgian history by using European DNA as their base marker. Again, that’s like me using my DNA as the source proof of proving I’m Lebron James and claiming Lebron James isn’t Lebron James because he doesn’t have my DNA.
