Idiot, Mauros was originally a Greek worder designated to dark individuals. I doubt they will call the 'Caucasoid' North Africans Moorish since they have similar complexion.

Yeah, good ole Black Pete. Werent some of the black people

a negative stereotype?

It seems that blacks who are minorities are ashamed of black
images that arent just black overed copies of their white hosts.

Take the original Aunt Jemima icon that Black Americans
protested out of existence, while Black Caribbeans who are
the majority population in their island countries admire
the self same icon of the black woman in calico dress and

What I see as very important is that Black Pete is a Moor from Spain. He not only has jet black skin, but full lips and wooly hair. Black Pete is seen as a Negroid in the Netherlands, long before Western Europe imported African slaves or knew of Africa.

Not sure what you mean here? The origianal Aunt Jemima, Uncle ben, etc were nothing to be proud of, nor are the modern ones. They were simply representations of the mammy and the coon, like Florida Evans from Good Times or just about anyone from What's Happening. Their facial features were extremely racist, though they look more like real people today.

They were Europids, unhybridized with members of any other race. The Berbers were (and are) Mediterranids, probably with some admixture from the Cromagnid subrace of ancient times. The Arabs were Orientalids, the Syrians probably of mixed Orientalid and Armenoid stock. The skin of Orientalids and of some Berbers darkens readily under the influence of sunlight, and many of them become quite dark in the exposed parts of the body. The association of dark skin with the name of 'Moors' resulted eventually in the same term being applied to Negrids."

So what? . . .

"Using similar faulty methods, Afrocentrists might as well say Jews in the Middle Ages were 'black' because Joseph ben Nathan in the 13th century quoted his father as saying 'we Jews come from a pure, white source, and so our faces are black.' Of course to do this would be to ignore the fact that in medieval Europe as in ancient Greece, black often meant 'swarthy.' Likewise, Afrocentrists could insist that 12th-century Turks were 'black' on the basis of their being exaggerated as 'blacker than pitch or ink' in the epic Chanson d'Aspremont. But we know on the basis of physical remains and ample pictorial evidence that neither the Jews nor Turks were actually 'black' in medieval times."

Race & Ethnicity
in the Old Norse World
by Rorik Radford

In the 1999 edition of Viator (vol. 30) the prominent Old Norse scholar Jenny Jochens published an insightful and carefully researched article on the subject of "Race and Ethnicity in the Old Norse World." In hopes of casting a little light on this traditionally heat-seeking topic, I will summarize Jochens' points here.

quote:

---

3. By the Saga Age, swarthy complexions and features were not unknown in the North, but they were considered aesthetic faults. "Geirmundar ßáttr heljarskins" tells of Geirmundr and Hámundr, twin sons of a minor 9th century Norwegian king who were born with skin so dark they were called heljarskin--Hel-Skin; Black as Hel. The infants' mother exchanged them for the fair-skinned child of a slave, but the boys' noble lineage was apparent in their bearing and actions and their father, King Hjörr, readily acknowledged his paternity. Although most sources say the twins were the sons of Hjörr's Norwegian queen, one passage in Landnámabók says the king had brought back a captive princess from a war in Bjarmaland (now Finland), and the dark-skinned boys were born to this woman.

---

quote:

---

4.The term "svartr" (black) is commonly ascribed in the sagas to people with dark coloring, contrasted with "hvítr" (white) for those of fair complexion and features. These terms do not refer to race in the modern sense--black Africans were never described as svartr, but as blámenn (blue men). Still, the svartr/hvítr distinction shows an early attunement to physical differences based on coloring.

---

quote:

---

5. Some Saga Age Norwegians were apparently born with dark features without outside genetic influence. A well-known example is Hálfdan svarti (the Black), the father of King Harald Finehair. Likewise, Gísli Súrsson is described in his saga as a "ma?r svartr," a dark man. More often, however, dark features were attributed to foreign or even trollish genetic intervention.

---

quote:

---

6. The most famous white/black dichotomy in the sagas involves the family of Egill Skallagrímsson. Egill's father is introduced as "a dark and ugly man like his forefathers," although his brother ?órólfr was "the most handsome of men." Skallagrím's descendants, the Myramenn, are said to include both the fairest and ugliest of men. The origin of the dark side of the family line is implied in the byname of Skallagrím's great uncle, Hallbjörn hálftroll. Even though dark features might be attributed to supernatural influence, people exhibiting this trait were still considered to be Norwegians, and their intermarriage with fair- skinned Norse presented no special issues.

You need a lesson in logic. The premise that "Islamic Moors were fully Caucasoid" and the fact that "the term was sometimes used synonymously with Negro" are not mutually exclusive. What I said was that 'Moor' means 'dark', and can be used to refer to people of many different complexions. Your source confirmed that. It so happens that the Islamic Moors were named such because they came from the old Roman province of Mauretania in extreme NW Africa, not because they were Negroes:

You keep repeating that same passage, which you've hilariously misunderstood. Allow me to break it down for you:

"Being a dark people [they're talking about the Berber Mauri] in relation to Europeans [not in absolute terms], their name [again, the Mauri] in the Middle Ages was ['used as'] a synonym for Negro [because Negroes are a dark people too]; later (16c.-17c.)

He asks if Tutsi vary from Hutu systematically in the direction of Europeans and concludes that they do not.

Do Southern Europeans vary from Nordics systematically in the direction of Black Africans?

Compared to Nordics, Southern Europeans would tend towards Black Africans in that they exhibit....

* darker skin.
* darker hair
* darker eyes
* curlier hair
* thicker hair
* thicker lips.
* everted lips.
* greater bone density.

From: The Story Behind the Amazing Success of Black Athletes, by Jon Entine
Many southern Europeans, who are disproportionately stand-outs in running, trace a significant percentage of their genes to Africa as a result of interbreeding.

From: Battling Osteoporosis - Genetics plays a role in the risk profile of men. Whites are at higher risk than Blacks. And Scandinavians tend to have a higher risk than Southern Europeans.

Of course we have the genetic evidence (E3 african haplotypes), Benin sickle cell, and historical evidence - Moorish conquest, Egypto-Nubian colonisation, is it even necessary to go thru the motions of continued denial of Southern European diversity?

Your ignorance knows no bounds. Nordics and Mediterraneans are so similar in skeletal form that anthropologists have trouble differentiating their physical remains. Hence, they've postulated that Nordics are simply Mediterraneans who have become depigmented through exposure to the cold northern climate. Black Africans, on the other hand, are easily distinguishable from Mediterraneans in every respect.

If you use the 'Forest Negro' as the standard then that would be the case. However, East Africans can look similar to Mediterraneans, especially the Dravidians or Arabs from the Peninsula, both that are included under this ficticious 'Mediterranean' type.

Of course, Southern Europeans are as Caucasoid as all other Europeans. This is the consensus of both physical anthropologists and population geneticists. Needless to say, your Afro-opinion is irrelevant to the matter.

This is why Nordic supremist groups are labelling you Meds as heterogenous? Hitler and the Nazi part thought the same? Are they all Afro-centrics?

If YOU hate the fact that Europeans are Heterogenous, then you need to find another solution rather than constantly using childish methods. You failed in proving that the Ethiopians are caucasoid, or were caucasoid. What we need are proper sources, without distortion.

Can you prove that:

i) Benin Sickle Cell is also Caucasoid in origin.
ii) E3b Haplotype is Caucasoid in origin.
iii) Prove that the 'Mediterranian' features of the East Africans are 'Caucasoid'?
* Prove = Sources Required

You really didn't. Head to the Netherlands for a better view.

This is how Black Pete is seen in the Netherlands.

Black Peter
is represented black in many European countries: representations of black Pete Schwarze Peter, Pierre le Noir, also named –le More-. are black, France, Switzerland, Ostrich, Netherlands, Pierre Fouettard, various names and meanings depending on the religion history culture and language . They are many hypotheses about why Black Peter became trendy
:- fear of the strangers bringing pest in the harbours
-mourning after deaths (all dressed in black)
–threats and blackmail to influence children into good behaviour, (for political and educational purposes)
-some say it is a Charles Quint personification,
-St NiKlaus needed a helper, in Turkey around the fourth century he found a black assistant, (is that why the church is more open to blacks then it is to women?)
-it’s a good opposition black/white with Christmas Father good/bad representation.
Maybe all of those reasons together, or others.
A popular game with a penitence card is still called Pierre le Noir, even though this last decade the decks with the black representation of Peter have been replaced with other symbols, same as "Negerkopfs", "tętes de nčgres", the popular cream stuffed chocolates have been renamed.

There again, shoved in the black concept, all fears: of unknown, of evil, of diseases, seing this resistance to the idea of blacks bringing progress, one prefers to imagine anything sort of bad is black, blackmagic blackmarket blackmail and so on, no doubt in many langages black has this connotation.

I recall paintings seen in various museums, from 12 century onwards, with black-Maure-Moresque-maronesque-more-maron-marron type characters. Maures stayed around after the Spanish occupation, no doubt some became rich and powerful, settled and mixed.

People travel, those traveling whether black Not Maures only) or white, rich or poor, are hired for their skills to work, to teach, to study, to bring their knowledge abroad and these people, by sharing it in different fields of sciences, have brought our civilization to where it is now.

Most scenes with the three Kings leaving to Bethleem, or Nativity scenes show one or two of them as "blacks" marons, marrons whatever, and those European paintings date of many centuries.

On another note, we had many migrations in Europe, i wonder how many are 100% pure!

Mixed here,,,, European-ly obviously mixed with specks of Africa & doubt Evil here is from Europe.

St. Maurice of Germany is a pure African, therefore I'm pretty sure Black Pete was a 100% Black too.

FWIW: It's a mistake to allow EuroDisney to bait you into his silly 'race purity' game.

He himself is a mere victim of false pride wounded by the Nordicists via: http://www.maknews.com/html/articles/genetic_studies/hla_genes.html

Remember misery loves company, and EuroDisney is clearly a miserable twisted loser looking to "share".

Ausar wrote, the irony of this is St. Maurice actually came from Upper Egypt[Southern Egypt] around the Luxor area. He is also a Coptic saint held in high reguard. He was part of the Theban league of soliders who were stationed in parts of Europe by the Romans.

The 3rd Reich film propaganda also popularised this form of argument in Germany.

They would show the images of the ideal Aryan, and contrast with the scowling Jew, pointing to the 'Semetic' features as sign of 'obvious' moral and intellectual degeneracy, that everyone 'knew' to be true anyway, or course.

Then they'd shock cut to images of rats running thru the sewers of Germany and people dieing, in case they had been too subtle, up until then!

It also looks like pure comedy today, so you have to remind yourself that base as it was, scared and angry often ignorant people, drunk on hate, ignored the complete lack of logic, the obvious contradictions, and bought into it anyway.

The Nazi's went to great lengths purge Germany of "impure" elements. Some Nazi's felt that they had to even get rid of Christianity and return to Paganism because the Near Eastern roots of the religion.
