I mean some are.
I was browsing questions. Someone asked if Africans were present in the new world in ancient times. I think it stands to reason. Why not? Especially in light of so much evidence.
Look at this photo. He looks awfully African to me. The simple explanation is often the correct one

John T- is a perfect example. It doesn't take a scientist. ***** noses and lips are very distinct. At statue is quite *******. So whoever carved it had to have at least seen a *****. The person represented isn't himself a ***** he certainly is closely related to one.

Who cares what white people think anymore. We will never know the truth about many ancient civilizations because people (not only white people but mostly white people) have distorted the very history of non-white civilizations to fit into their racist agenda. Remember what happened when the Spaniards came to the beatiful Central American city of Tenochtitlan? They destroyed it, probably out of jealously, and built what is known today as Mexico City on its ruins. That happen countless times as Europeans took control of the Americas, Africa, parts of Asia, and Australia. So much history and culture was destroyed back then, it's sad really. What's even sadder is that we will probably never know the truth about these societies because the only written evidence about them where published as "discoveries" by Europeans, who probably were biased against darker people anyway. But what really pissing me off is when people get all offended when black people are in a movie about Egypt, but when a white person is in it, it's okay. In those old Egyptian movies darker people were slaves and the whites were masters, denial indeed.....

You're confusing people of color with BLACK people... the person in the picture is a native American, NOT a black African... native Americans originally came to the Americas from Asia via the Bering Strait, which was icebound (and so passable) at the time.
The first non-native American people to reach the New World were the Norse, who reached Greenland and then what is now Canada in the 11th century. They were followed by Basque whalers from Spain who fishd and whaled right off the coast of the NW in the 15th century... then various Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese explorers came in succession... Columbus among them.
The first black African people to reach the New World came over in the slave trade. Blacks did not reach the New World before whites... not that it matters, it's not a competition or anything.
But facts are facts.
Don't re-write history if you're upset with it! You can't alter the past~

Ever seen a Maori from New Zealand,they also have broad noses and large lips, you'll find the carving is more like them.
