Some Afrocentrics are spreading the notion that the ancient Maya were black/African people. Often they cherry-pick some pictures from Maya art, like the Bonampak murals, which show dark skinned figures, and totally disregard the art which show more light skinned figures.  The Maya peoples were, and still are, Native Americans, not black. Some of them can vary in skin tone from lighter brown to darker brown. Also in old painting they could depict themselves as lighter or darker, it could vary depending on artistic context and different colors symbolism. If one take a look at some Maya today, many have a striking resemblance of the depictions from ancient times, in both facial features and often also in colors.
