I’m all for acknowledging black achievements and inventions and all that, but the Romans and Greeks were pretty big into bathing, from 1000+BC bathtubs, to having bathhouses and even steam baths. No idea what happened with Byzantium, but they also had bathhouses at least.
Props to the Ottomans for improving on the concept too though.
^^^^ Actually both of them came to Africa, and learned from us. That’s why they consider Africa to be the most advanced. Also a lot of African societies predate the Greek and the Romans…so.🤷🏾♀️ It was also an African who beat the Romans, and nearly destroyed their Society.
Public Bathing in europe originated in Greece not Africa . ..
A lot of African civilizations might predate Rome , but once you ignore the age of them they cease to be anything special
You do realize where carthage is right? Modern Tunisia. And where is Tunisia….🤔 #Africa
Also, they we’re doing bath houses, and bath ceremonies in ancient Egypt, and they predate the Greeks. So find a better answer.
“The Greeks were the first civilized Europeans who were primarily civilized by the Black Africans of the Nile Valley. The Greeks passed on this acquired culture to the Romans who ultimately lost it, thus initiating the dark ages that lasted for 500 years. Civilization was again restored to Europe when another group of Black Africans, The Moors, brought the Dark Ages to an end.
In trying to hide the truth, white historians promote the lie that it was the Europeans who gave civilization to Africa when in fact this is a total reversal of the truth. In school you might have been brainwashed into thinking that western or white civilization was founded on Greek civilization, which seemed to just suddenly appear out of nowhere. What they were trying to conceal or deny was the fact that Greek civilization was a descendant, a child of the more advanced Black African civilization which had preceded it by thousands of years. In fact, Greek legend tells of Egyptian and Phoenician conquerors who had been ruling Greece until the 14th or 15th century B.C.”
I was going through old stuff and I found a photo of me and my first crush. Anyways here he go tying my shoes cause I would pretend I didn’t know how lol
Thinking about how similar Luz and Hunter’s deaths are.
Both were in the middle of doing something that made them happy when Belos showed up out of nowhere to ruin it.
Both deaths were at the hands of Belos.
Both in a cosplay of a character they loved.
Both in a realm that wasn’t their own.
Both involved giving “Belos”, while using someone else’s body, a hug while trying to get through to someone else. Luz was trying to reach Hunter. Collector was trying to reach the good in Belos, back when he used to be just Philip.
Both sacrificed themselves to protect the ones that they loved. Those who they mutually had once seen as their enemy.
Both cared more about making sure that everyone else was okay over themself.
Both began to helplessly sink in liquid before being pulled out.
There was a reassurance to another about doing something good.
There was someone who willingly laid their life down to bring them back. Someone who had been around centuries and had see all of the awful things Belos had done. Someone who was dying anyway and wanted to use their last and final act to protect the ones that they loved. Bringing back someone with the very wild magic that Belos sought to destroy.
Once revived, both Luz and Hunter, who were originally powerless, gained magic from this sacrifice. They even got a new form/look too (with longer hair and a hair strand).
And of course…the light orbs and green accents.
I swear Luz and Hunter are the best siblings ever and I adore their parallels.
On Saturday, in New York, a group of friends pulled into a strangers driveway to turn their car around. The homeowner came outside, shot at them, and killed one of the 20 year old women in the car.
Last Thursday, in Kansas City, a 16 year old boy ended up at the wrong address by mistake trying to pick up his younger siblings. He rang the doorbell. The homeowner shot him in the head. He is, miraculously, alive and recovering.
Yesterday, in Texas, a group of high school cheerleaders stopped at a grocery store on their way home. One of them opened the door to the wrong car by mistake, realized her mistake, and quickly retreated and found her friends car nearby. The man in the car followed her and shot at the group. 2 were shot. One remains hospitalized.
In less than a week- 3 people, doing normal, nonmalicious, nonthreatening, everyday things. Turning around in a driveway, ringing the wrong doorbell, going up to the wrong car by mistake. And with no escalation, no warning, it turns to gun fire.
It’s a terrible intersection of easy access to firearms and an entitlement to use violence against others. All 3 of these recent incidents were so unprovoked and unjustifiable, and the core thread remains the same.
A man who felt entitled to use violence and had the means to do so with a firearm.
Hey, so, as I clarified on other reblogs- it….actually isn’t. I understand why you would assume that. And since people of color are so often seen as inherently more threatening in our white supremacist culture, they are far more likely to be the victims of these kinds of incidents.
But. The basketball incident was a black shooter and a white victim. The New York incident was a white shooter and a white victim. The Texas incident was a Hispanic shooter and a black victim. The Kansas city incident was a white shooter and a black victim. The ages vary too- the victims are as young as 6. The shooters range from 24 to 84. It’s happened all over the country- Upstate New York to central Texas.
So, to me, this recent uptick of “wrong place” shootings is more than just race (though race is absolutely a factor in some of these situations). But rather shows that these systems of inequality and power and paranoia, gun culture and ease with violence, can and do affect a wide range of our society. Too many Americans are too quick to assume malice from strangers, are too quick to turn their fear into violence, and have far too much access to make that violence incredibly deadly.
I keep thinking about how maybe a society that was built on genocide and slavery, and that has been violently opposed to actually reckoning with that history, in uniquely positioned to have the disastrously toxic relationship with guns and intra-community violence.
