Early Japanese were black?

[rajputprincess]

A Japanese proverb states that: “For a Samurai to be brave, he must have a bit of Black blood.”

What do you think they mean by it?
You need to be black to be brave?
Or it mean something else like black mean evil. A samurai need to be able to commit evil act to be brave?
Or maybe by black they meant ainu. Since ainu skin color is darker than mongoloid.
I have seen afro nationalist using this proverb as a proof that Japanese were black.

According to multiple sources, one of the early real-life Shoguns, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro (758–811), was Black, though denied by others. There is a consensus he was something other than pure Japanese, and he is often considered descended from the Ainu, the darker-skinned indigenous people of northern Japan who were subjected to forced assimilation and colonization.

You are wrong. The Japanese are not black; on the contrary, they are white oppressors and colonizers of Japan. Ainus are the black people.

I hope the whole article is satire because I can’t even bother myself to read the whole thing.

It’s probably a stupid rage bait article.

There are still black people in Abkhazia, descendants of black slaves sold by Ottomans to Abkhazian and Circassian dukes.
