re: New BBC history show teaches children that Europeans have always been black

Fun truths to chew on.

#1 Britan was a colony of Rome for what 800 years, while many toffee nosed Englishmen are loath to admit this, DNA testing would show the dark Italian bold courses through their vein.

#2 The Scots were probably the only civilization that made the Romans fearful, so much so that Emperor Hadrian built a wall to keep them contained. Scots would be less prone than the bloody English to have Italian blood.

#3 When the Spanish Armada was beaten, very few ships were lost in battle. They turned North (navigating around Ireland) where the vast majority of men and ships were lost at sea. Many went overboard and washed ashore in Ireland and their descendants can be noticed in "Black Irish" today.


While modern Brits love to claim their Anglo Saxon past, many are blood descendants of the "black" Italians and Spanish.

I could also easily find someone who says Cleopatra was black and the earth is flat.

Doesn’t make them correct.

The children’s music video you linked simply gives examples of the existence of some Black people living in Europe from Roman times. Were you making water cooler conversation, misleading them with shiny race baited hooks, or upset when movies like Gladiator and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves depicted the existence of Black people in Europe also?

Nobody's arguing that black people weren't in Europe at all, but they definitely weren't the noble class, leading nations etc. as how it's being depicted now. They were slaves and servants if they were there at all, and there weren't many.

The USA wasn't even the biggest contemporary slaver. That would be Brazil

Probably closer to 350 years considering Roman invasion of Britain was 43 AD and by 410 the Roman garrison had left Britain.

Septimus Severus was from Libya and did conquer portions of present day England as a Roman emperor

Father was Punic. Mother was Italian. Both originate outside of Africa.

So your position is that people from northern Africa = sub-saharan Africa?
