Salty comment that one...
So ?. I don't believe there were any black people either. Plenty of racism though.

Interestingly enough there wasn't racism in the Roman Empire until Christianity became the state religion... Skin color meant nothing either you were civilized or you were a barbarian....
@Lizard_of_Ahaz You're probably right, but race isn't just colour of skin, and I'm sure hate, discrimination and racism has existed for most of human civilization, and even before.
There has always been "Us" and "Them".
Initially, it was all about clan survival and fighting rival clans for food, shelter, mates...
Cooperation between clans eventually evolved and in some respects, we became more "civilized"...but the process doesn't seem to be fully complete just yet.
@scurry The Aksumites were considered to be very civilized by Rome and Byzantium ....
