I think my explanation was more succinct.

Elon Musk Twitter deal back on in surprise U-turn
Musk starts work on Friday apparently. Gettr, Truth Social, Gab... most of the alt-tech is seen as Right Wing...

Word on the street is everyone* is jumping ship from Twitter to Tribel.
I created an account on there just to see what the fuss is about. Sadly 80% childish political rants, a 5 year old could do better. Filter that out and it *is* better than Twitter... in that it's not important so the content isn't dominated by bots and scammers à la Facebook et al
Commented on a few posts here and there, nothing too overt unless you click on the profile. Social media phishing, I'll let you know if I get any bites

The first African Roman Emperor - born in Africa. Must be black, right?
English Heritage have funded this
English Heritage's own site says:
Quote: | Severus was born in Lepcis Magna. His mother's family were from Italy and his father's family, the Septimi, were Punic - descended from Phoenicians who had settled in what is now North Africa. |
Just how ridiculous do you have to be to pay for a commissioned painting of a Roman Emperor as a black man when every bit of evidence, including the statues, busts, depictions etc of the time and after, would all tell you differently? How is a man with Italian heritage from his mother and a Punic father even likely to have had a drop of sub-Saharan African blood let alone black skin?
Why. |

Yes, the hearts of our institutions have gone bad, and must be ripped out and replaced. This isn't going to be a short war, nor will it be easy. Feelings will be hurt, it's gonna be messy! But that doesn't mean we should pull back from the task.
For institutions like the National Trust and English Heritage, they have to be boycotted, starved of funds. We might lose some of the things they are supposed to protect, but if we go along with it, we'll lose them all in the end. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Although, tbh, the portrait doesn't look to depict a sub-Saharan black African to me.
Be careful what you attack.
Once again though, I'd stress that although the Roman Empire was large and did indeed eventually accept people from all over into high positions, the culture brought to Britain was still decidedly Roman until at least the 4th century AD, after which Christianity, introduced firmly into that empire by Constantine, changed its nature fundamentally.
Not long after that, the Roman Empire began to fall apart and the Romans withdrew from Britain. Even Roman culture didn't last long here after that. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

This is the part of the artist statement which is confusing in the context of the rest, and has little place in that context.
But in the end, it is not someone's skin colour that matters, but more the cultural contribution they made. No matter what Severus's origins were, he would have lived within the Roman culture. The whole racial argument is moot. It has been known for a long time what the origins of most of the Roman emperors were, and not denied in the history books. We call Severus Roman because that is what he was, bearing in mind the empire covered such a large swathe of territory. Are we to say that someone who was born and raised north of the Po river but nevertheless within what is now Italy was not Roman? At one point that was true, because being Roman was a matter of citizenship, and to begin with, that citizenship was only held by people from Rome itself, but was gradually extended for a number of reasons as the empire expanded. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
