LEGEND: While the black nigger has been called humanities lowest
creation, it is the black-skinned person who contributed the lion’s
share to modern civilization. Mesopotamian literature is full of tribute 
such as on Sumerian tablets: “Utu, the sun god, shepard of the land, 
father of the black-headed people.” Scholars usually claim this is poetic
 license but picture 3 of  the a soldier in the army of Tilgath-Pilesar III 
         with a head painted black is good evidence that this was not
             poetry divorced from reality but a realistic depiction of the
               people themselves. King Tutankhuman, in picture 1, is 
               described as being painted black as a funerary style. 
                However, coming from North Africa as Western Hemisphere
              slaves (picture 4 is from Jamaica and Africans there 
            had ancestors who arrived as slaves) is, in pic. 4, a man
     as black-skinned as Tut.                                     And Nefertiti in
pic. 2 is painted very much                                         alive and black-
skinned. Some of today’s                                               most well-
known individuals from                                                  Kofi Annan,
former General Secretary                                               of the United Nations,
the NBA’s Shaq O’Neal,                                                    Michael Jordan, & Venus
Williams are all black-skinned.                                   So, that Tutankhuman
was painted black to represent                                death, as is claimed
in the world of the                                                                    scholar does
not find support in the                                                                world of
reality. It is commendable                                                      that the
Western nations through kind-hearted paternalism saw fit to make Kofi Annan 
a world leader of such importance. But, Tutankhamun, black-skinned, was his 
predecessor by 3000 years. The Sumerian black-headed people gave us the 
world’s first civilization that all others are patterned on. There’s been no “Thank you.”..art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com

Denying the meaning of the term "black-headed" to mean other than the skin-color of the Sumerians is not a unique form of academic denial of laudatory African accomplishments and figures. More aggressive actions have been taken to hide African origins of civilization and human advancement. There is evidence of widespread efforts to produce fraudulent works of art in transforming African originals into Western copies that make historical actors appear white: click.
