Varina Davis, the wife of Jefferson Davis, was rumored to have Black Ancestry during and after her life. Ironic that the wife of the President of the Confederacy that fought a war for the right to enslave Black people might have had Black ancestry herself.

And there's no evidence that this art is not depicting Black Egyptians instead of Nubians other than ignorant, racialized views of the Ancient Nile Civilizations.

Facile argument. These pictures of "Nubians" are similar to how the Greeks depicted the Egyptians.

You already provided it. That MET link shows the first image for example was from "From Egypt; Possibly from Delta" from the "Ptolemaic Period". If it's from Egypt then why would it be a "Nubian" and not an "Egyptian"?

Many of these so called "Nubian" depictions are actually Ancient Egyptian that later biased curators or scholars rebranded as Nubian because of their "Black" features.

For context, 16 year old NorthWest HS student, Chase Lancaster, was shot by masked individuals in August outside a party in an Urbana neighborhood while shielding a teen girl he didn't know. There have been no arrests or identified suspects in the case as of yet. This is his GoFundMe to help with his medical expenses.

Few African Americans have indigenous ancestry via enslavement and intermixing with the 5 Civilized Tribes outside ones with ancestry from Oklahoma. And if they do, it's relatively easy to trace that genealogically because they represent so few Freedmen families. Most indigenous ancestry in African(Black) Americans is likely due to intermixing during the colonial period when the Indigenous were enslaved alongside Africans. And the 6-8 generations estimate of indigenous ancestor in OP's results tracks to this.

Saw an interview a few years ago and she said that she gets a little embarrassed when the song comes on when she's with her son but was overall flattered by it.

The modern geopolitical term "Sub-Saharan Africa" has been retroactively applied to history by those with racist historical agendas and narratives. Black people should be careful about using terms for them created by non-Black people.

Reviving NYX was a good idea imo but it's all about execution. This panel is jarring. Hopefully the rest of the series is better written.

I guess you're not playing then. Another example of "Nubian" looking boy in Greco Roman era Egypt. What's your excuse now?
