please dont scare away people from good info like this by saying crap like that. Dont feel guilty about saying this. Italians and Greeks today are very proud of there ancient history. Nothing would remove them from this more than by adding in a whole different racial component such as Negroid or Mongoloid. I will stick with that the movie "True Romance" with Dennis Hopper did more to spread this myth when he said that Sicilians were black because of Moorish occupation. ..hollywood is a monster. Well said my comrade! Good for speaking up to one who says people should not be ashamed of having black blood. Plain and simple Modern race mixing = Modern Race extinction.

Italians and Greeks have no negroid influence. I think the paintings and sculptures are very important. Roman mosaics and paintings show the same types that are in italy today.Lights,red-heads and dark. I think the hollywood movie True Romance contibuted to this. heres more info. ItaliansAs far as I know, this is a Fayum portrait, and Fayum is in Egypt. They have a great variety of racial types on those portraits, this one I think is Egyptian.

Actually the Greeks and the Romans went into Egyptian mummification in a big way. So the portraits were probably of Greeks, the location in Egypt is accidental due to the breakup of the Ancient Macedonian empire of Alexander the Greek of Macedon. The upper classes of Egypt were Greek, and were the ones who could afford the mummification process.
I had never heard of that film, I think Hollywood's influence is faddish, here today and gone tomorrow. It is unlikely that Troy will endure. The negro admixture myth has been around a long time in the USA and Northern Europe, probably even Italy itself when it comes to the influence of the Saracens, it comes from a small and enfantile understanding of the vast history of the European Mediterranean area. It really does not matter what passes through those primitives' ganglians.

The Fayum region hosted Greeks, Romans as well as Egyptians. The Fayum portraits however depict Greeks and (possibly) Romans. The artistic style greatly resembles later Byzantine iconography. True Romance huh? I've seen this film. Denis Hopper is tied and tortured by a Sicilian mafia boss (I can't remember the actor, but he's a good one) and his only hope of a quick death (that will also help him from betraying his son) is to irritate the mobster. So he tells him that once upon a time the sicilians were blond, but later blacks came and *ucked their mothers etc... so the mobster takes his gun out and shoots him.
