Google doodle honors "afrocentrism" and blm

[The balkens]

At least it didn't include an Olmec head like that big mural on Crenshaw in South Central.

I've seen that mural in person. I was facepalming so much. Other favourites of Afrocentric "history" include: Beethoven was black, Chinese civilisation was started by black people, and Caesar being black.

I even saw once a claim that Charlemagne was black. I shit you not.

What.

[Napkiraly]

My only concern are the symbols of Ancient Egypt within the mural. While Ancient Egypt had black people within its population it wasn't a "black" civilization. The people in Egypt are the primary descendants of those Egyptians, with the Copts being descended linguistically. Unsurprisingly, of course.

The theme of the competition was “What Makes Me… Me.” So it is entirely possible that the artist has some Egyptian ancestry.

Yeah, considering that in my experiences many black Americans claim Ancient Egypt as theirs, I'm going to weigh things out and most likely the artist falls into that camp. Perfectly possible that she has Egyptian ancestry, that would have to be shown to me as evidence.

So you're just going to make assumptions without evidence and then demand that we prove you wrong. Hm.

Just a question. Do you, by any chance, have the mural link, so I could see it?

Also, in fact, Egyptians and Hispanics aren't black. We in Europe usually just refer to the Egyptians as having a Mediterranean / North African look, while the Hispanics - that depends - are either Mediterranean or white. Here, race isn't really an issue.

What.

Yep. Charlemagne was whitewashed apparently. Same with Beethoven.

I give up on liberalism.

Assumption being made due to likelihood. Yeah, prove that she has Egyptian ancestry. White people have to do it whenever they do something that offends First Nations people and then throw out "I'm part xyz percentage or fraction aboriginal".

[Herargon]

Depends, there are large differences in liberalism. You have classical liberalism, paleoliberalism (basically same thing, but more conservative), conservative liberalism, liberal conservatism, social liberalism, left liberalism, right liberalism, progressive liberalism, liberal progressivism, national liberalism, liberal nationalism...

I said it was a possibility. Not a definite.

It has nothing to do with liberalism, balk.

i think ill take the classical liberalism, anything that places logic at a higher fucking standard.

[Saiwania]

And? Humans are humans, no matter skin tone, gender, race, religion or home.

But I clearly differ from you in that I think the physical differences which divide people truly matters. We're both set in our ways, so no use arguing any further on this.

To be fair, that's almost exclusively done by people in the Americas.

ah.

[Napkiraly]

I said it was a possibility. Not a definite.

Okay, but I'll go with the more likely case.

True, true.

[Vassenor]

...So I'm wrong because I went for the possibility that a black person isn't a jumped up thief claiming things they have no right to?

[Ostroeuropa]

After seeing Google's front page, I suspected that it might be a topic on here and wow- I nailed it. Sure I don't like the anti-White direction Google might be going in, but it is still the best search engine out there. So I can't just stop using their website.

Acknowledging that people who aren't white exists isn't white erasure.

So when do we say things like American society is a white society and such?
Can you point me to any instance of google engaging in white-person centrism?

I'm not sure I understand your point here.

...So I'm wrong because I went for the possibility that a black person isn't a jumped up thief claiming things they have no right to?

No, but you're most likely wrong. If she turns out to be of Egyptian, and actually I'll go a step further and include Sudanese, ancestry then I'll change my stance.

Again, what makes this the quote-unquote "likely" outcome?

I'm not sure I understand your point here.

Is this some kind of statement that America is a White Nation by default or something?

Because that's the only way to make any sense I can see out of this, and I reject that premise. It's like the women ghostbusters shit.

4 friends write a movie and star in it
Vs
An active and deliberate attempt to exclude males from the casting choices.

This is the same type shit. It's racism, pure and simple.

When did google ever actively focus on white people? Or was it just talking about notable people?

[Genivaria]

omg Google honored black people! Anti-racist is anti-white!
Yeah no.

You have? When did you go to Crenshaw?

I just wish they didn't have so much of that crank influence, aside from the usual problems with people believing things like that it gives ammo to the wrong people.

That isn't what Google is doing.

You're cheering on white erasure and acting as if it's racist to take issue with it.

You're a believer in the Oppressor or Oppressed Dichotomy. You believe black people are oppressed by white people. Your solution is to turn the tables. White erasure. And if anyone opposes this solution of yours, call them a a racist.
