I just think it's silly when revisionist historians act like civilisation never reached Europe before "the black Moors" came to civilise us. In reality it was a 200-500 year (depending on the place) Medieval invasion of just Spain, Malta and Italy (in other words, the birthplace of the Roman Empire) by North African Arabs and Berbers, not black Sub-Saharan Africans.
I'm all for promoting the history of real black African civilisations Like Aksum, The Malian Empire and Nubia. I'm not down with telling outright ignorant lies about history just to play into identity politics. Just so we're not being biased, yes it's equally ignorant when Hollywood cast Nordic actors in Egypt films in the place of North Africans as well.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
