You call yourself History Man and publish this garbage? Did you even attempt to do any research? The “Japanese proverb” about black blood isn’t a Japanese proverb, it was made up by a french doctor, and the black didn’t even refer to Africans but to the Negritos who he, wrongfully, believed were closely related to the Japanese. Also I cannot find any primary source at all that would suggest him to be black, what we actually know is that be was descendant of a Chinese emperor. The only actual debate on his ethnicity is wether his ancestors that settled in Japan were more Chinese (because of the reason I said before) or Korean since they moved from there.
First of all, the Negritos did came out of Africa, like all the indigenous people of Asia and the islands.
Secondly, You’re behind the times. In the early 2000s, A Chinese geneticist was going to prove once, and for all that the Chinese people spring up from (Peking Man) but instead, with DNA, proved the first people of China came from Africa. (And the first dynasties). Also, proving, that all of Asia was first peopled by Africans. He wasn’t happy about it, which was written all over his face. Unfortunately for him, other genetic specialists were in the room and cameras were all around.
PS Black people have known this for almost a century.
