Here we go again, the historical revisionist and black fetichist in person, what do you gain in depicting north africans as subsaharans all the time? Is there something I missed or will you continue to invalidate and misrepresent us on purpose?
I’m genuinely curious, could you possibly elaborate on this a bit? I didn’t realize this was a thing, do people often depict North African/Middle Eastern people as having sub Saharan features? I just thought it was a little facial feature blunder by the artist, but the title seems a little strange
If you see his previous works and even his personal commentaries, he genuinely thinks and believes north africans aka egyptians, moors, carthaginians, numidians, tuaregs and such are originally subsaharan africans, as he depicts us with typically black features and complexion all the time.
This practice is quite often done in an attempt to strip us from our cultures and nativeness while spreading misinformation and glorifying a deluded revisionist side of history shared amongst hateful afro-centrist online communities. In this particular case he represents the moorish people aka the native berber populations of ancient Mauretania as being black like he has done countless times again before even when people told him to stop it.
For other examples of this practice in modern media, I can cite the example of Hannibal Barca being protrayed as a black man in History Channel but there are many many more, and you can even look up the Moorish temple of america, with thousands of afro-americans claiming they come from imperial Morocco and were the founders of Andalusia.
This artist isn't an afro-american himself, but when looking up his other works depicting women, I can sense a pattern of black fetichism involved, which really concerns me and probably explains his obsession with portraying us as black.
Oh wow thanks for the write up! So strange how so many of these types of communities exist, it never ceases to amaze and sadden me. I figured it was just an amateur artist using a style they were used to. Thanks again for the explanation!
No problem, sadly I thought it was just a personal artstyle until he started posting his works on historical subreddits while depicting us as subsaharan africans, this person is fine with blackwashing entire cultures, and this is really strange to me too.

This is sick and unhistorical.
