  10. @PerryLornythorinque Your English is far better than my French (I actually do speak a little and I happen to be talking to my daughter while typing this whose actually lives in France right now and speaks fluently). I never said this video wasn't necessarily inaccurate (although, the title is a little misleading, because most of those individuals really wouldn't be considered aristocrats (even if a few of them assocaited with aristocrats). Some of them weren't remakable at all, only unique, given their enslaved background and their unique circumstances. However, I will agree that what a few of them achieved, though not necessarily historically remarkable, it was remarkable, given their backgroud, that they accomplished what they did. However, a common perspective from some segments of American society, distorts and exaggerates these examples. For example, there was a recent film made all about Dido Belle, but rather than representing the truth about her very unremarkable accomplishments or historical impact, instead made her out to be the most talented, skilled, accommplished, of supreme noble character, but oppressed, while at the same time made most of the white people out to be incompetent, naive, oppressive, bafoons. In reality, she was nothing more than a mixed race servant, but who was also cared for more so than most african slaves at the time so associated with her white cousin to a degree while they were young. Doesn't sound like a great movie but have been more historically accurate. My original point was that many black Americans are obsessed with finding validation and self-worth by associating black people with European history, especially if they're somehow able to find a connection with the nobility. Due to being surrounded by European history for generations, they've come to believe that the only way to achieve the greatest self-worth is within the context of European history and identity. However, historical accuracy isn't as important as how it makes you feel so often these connections or their accomplishments are often highly exaggerated.

  13.  @nebulanesian369  I get my knowledge of history from numerous sources. Records that correlate with and support each other from numerous divergent sources (in other words, a historical account written by one group correlates with the historical record recorded by another group in another area, both act like supportive witnesses for each other and that what they've recorded is largely true), supporting scientific and anthropological and archeological evidence which also support each other as well as the historical record (for example, every dna test ever conducted of every Norse/Viking burial all show white European dna that perfectly matches that of their modern descendants in Scandinavia (and in a few cases, other Northern European people), my own family's records and documentation, which can be traced all the way back several generations in Europe and include genealogical records (going back hundreds, even well over a thousand years), journals, portraiture (I have paintings and statuary of my direct ancestors that I've seen), even oral histories that have been passed down to myself, that are more than a couple hundred years old. for starters. Btw, my own dna matches dna taken from Viking/Norse burials from over a thousand years ago. On the other hand, if you''re black, every black (american) dna test ALWAYS, shows your dna originated in west Africa, EXACTLY FROM WHERE THE HISTORICAL RECORD SHOWS YOUR ANCESTEORS WERE ENSLAVED (even down to the very west african tribes). See, that's how an understanding of true history works, one thing corroborating another. Where do you get your "knowledge" of history, besides from your own fantasies? From a few videos on the internet made by a few Afrocentrists, who have NO connection to Europe, past or modern, and whose comprehension of European history (and terminology, including an understanding of the word "swarthy") is influenced by the world's biggest inferiority complex and resulting bias? If you were an honest searcher for true history, just go ask a European what the definition is of the word "swarthy." He'll laugh at you if you claim it means black negro.

  14. Btw, I can see why so many of you delusional afrocentrists think you can just claim European heritage, just based on your original statement. You referenced "primary source material" and I'm sure you assume that white Europeans just have never read those things and that our knowledge is just limited to what we learned in elementary school. The fact that you're that delusional corroborates your absurd claims. I've personally, as have probably the majority of Europeans, read vast amounts of "primary source" material. We have entire courses of study in universities that use source material in their entirety, from every area and period of European history. Do you honestly think we're not aware of our own history? Europeans (in Europe or America), despite some exceptions, are EXTREMELY aware of our history and heritage. In many cases, we've maintained a connection to even our distant ancestors for hundreds of years. Even many of us Americans have been to the actual houses (and castles) in Europe where our families lived for hundreds of years. One house my family lived in, just before immigrating to America, our family lived in for several hundred years and is still called by my family name as their house. By contrast, you probably can't go very far back in your own genealogy (not your fault, if you're a descendant of slaves, which erased most of your heritage). And now, you've read a few things in a few books, taken way out of context, and combined with a personal bias, and now YOU have the gall to accuse Europeans for not being aware of our own history and that YOU, with absolutely NO connection, are now the expert in OUR history? You guys are truly the world's most delusional people.
