On a brief, serious note: we shouldn't assume that all ancient Greeks were what we would call "white". They didn't construct race the way we do and wouldn't necessarily have cared or noted a citizen of African descent and coloring.

"I'm laughing that people are taking this seriously."

At first I thought he must be joking. Then I looked at some of his other posts on other threads. He's either not joking or he's overwrought with antic hostility.

JoeK is a bit of a prankster, and sometimes his humor can seem misanthropic if you don't know him. But he has a heart as big a continent. He'd give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.

I've seen him do acts of kindness that most people would never consider.

And he wouldn't even care what color you are.

Coincidentally, I toured Europe in the 60's with my one-woman show "Antic Hostility." At the time. Quentin Crisp told the BBC it was "Bewildering to the point of exasperation" and said I was "a tonic for those of us bored with the birds, blokes and bell-bottoms that clog Piccadilly Circus these days."

And I think he would know.

Well that settles that. Consider me your newest fan, JoeK.
