    It’s generally considered that the whole “black people have tremendous dicks” thing, to quote Eddie Murphy, is because that was considered somehow brutish or animalistic, and therefore something they would have. Rather than what you’re implying. And I say this as a man with a tremendous dick. You’re putting the cart before the horse, to hold its tremendous dick.

    Where’s that picture of Priapus with his massive cock in a wheelbarrow, I feel it would illustrate my point nicely here.

      Actually, black people DO on average have larger dicks than Caucasians. Not by anywhere near as much as the stereotype goes, but it’s still a thing.

      That’s often something racists do: take a small real difference and blow it up into a (somewhat literally in this case) larger than life caricature and then declare it a bad thing.

      Btw, I couldn’t find the wheelbarrow one, but here’s a fun SFW pic of Priapus:

        Maybe, but again - were the Ancient Greeks really influenced by that? Probably more from observing the behaviour (and anatomy) of horses and certain livestock. I do think you’re getting the cart before the massive horse cock.

          No, they weren’t. The “barbarians” they despised were all of their neighbors. That is what barbarian originally meant, not Greek. When they felt like being really spicy it’d mean people from a different city state.

          I don’t think you’re right, but I love your headcannon of Michelangelo and other Renaissance artists making the dicks small to emulate the ancient Greeks’ zealously pointing out that their sculpture was not of horses, goats or sheep 😄

            I mean that’s likely where the idea of massive throbbing boners being bestial and whatnot came from. The horse’s handbrake. You ever seen one of those? And they really are violent rapists, hence the myth of the centaurs.
