Historical records prove conclusively based on the ancient icons that the historical Buddha was a Black man of African decent. Early British historians who have researched this issue concluded that the Historical Buddha Shakyamuni of India was a Black man. Hindu Brahmin racism and institutional racism worldwide has hidden this fact, fortunately Black scholars, the internet and young African/Americans are now recognizing the fact of the Black Buddha. The above picture is the worlds largest wooden and oldest Buddha statue built in its ancient capital of Nara, Japan in 710 A.D. The African corn roll hair style proves conclusively that the Buddha was a Black man. Most Japanese who introduce Buddhism in American are reluctant to acknowledge this historical fact. This is an example of institutional racism that you will find among Japanese people, even Japanese Buddhist Priests. Click on the picture above to learn a historical prospective of this statue.
