@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.

@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.

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.

Here's what a people with the world's biggest racial inferiority complex do. 1) They first envy your heritage. 2) Then they fantasize about having your heritage with you. 3) Then, they take your heritage and deny that it's even your heritage anymore. Over the last few decades, blacks have been doing this same thing with the following peoples: Egyptians, Japanese, Chinese, British, Anglo Saxons, Celts, Vikings, Russians, all Europeans, Jews, all Israelites, native Americans. In fact, I think the only heritage they won't claim is AFRICAN.

@yvngleanoa2137 Where in the world are you getting the idea they spread out to France and other kingdoms? They never went beyond Spain, though they tried, but were defeated before their attempt to enter France. They didn't even rule over all of Spain, and most of their rule was over a minority of Spain. Also, where did you get the number 900 years? It was 781 years. Also, "melanated" is a virtually useless word, because it's so subjective. It could literally mean anyone with a complexion darker than the palest of Nordic Europeans, which includes a lot of Caucasian people, including southern Europeans. Moors were, according to every historian, north African berber and arabic and weren't negro.
Also, here's the official definition of of the word, Moor:
Moor (n.)
"North African, Berber, one of the race dwelling in Barbary," from Old French More, from Medieval Latin Morus, from Latin Maurus "inhabitant of Mauretania" (Roman northwest Africa, a region now corresponding to northern Algeria and Morocco)."
Pick up book, bro.

@kefabenysraal7687 Exactly. Blacks were the original Europeans who invented and built everything Europeans are given the credit for. They were the original nobility until white Europeans came and kicked them out of their castles and stole their identities and noble heritage and noble heraldry and coats of arms. UNTIL whites got enough power and then secretly, leaving absolutely no evidence, killed or captured ALL blacks and secretly shipped them to the Americas, but destroying all the records and forcing all the people in Europe and America at the time to both deny it ever happened and to never write about it or pass down oral stories to their descendants, including as especially the blacks themselves. Then, the whites destroyed or altered all the images and records of native black europeans, except of course, any records or images of blacks who were slaves transported from slave territories. And, if that weren't enough, they even dug up ALL the black graves in Europe and destroyed all the evidence (or just transposted all the graves to the Americas) so that one day, no future scientist would be able to use DNA testing to prove they existed. Clever devils, those white people. And, super hard working. That would have taken generations of hard work to do all that.

@jorad4887 So, it sounds like all your "evidence" is just circumstantial and anecdotal, which is very unreliable "evidence." I have circumstantial and anecdotal evidence too, which proves just the opposite, but I would never use it to prove anything to anyone (btw, I'm a Scandinavian American, whose family also comes from a Scandinavian community, who also has relatives in Scandinavia. And, even though my daughter is almost 6 foot and my son is 6'5", I would never use that as evidence for anything). Besides contemporary descriptions of the Norse and Vikings by outsiders, who described them as significantly taller than other people, including other Europeans. Scandinavians today, are also among the world's tallest people. Harold Hardrada, a Viking, was over 7 feet tall. However, the best and most reliable, evidence is the study of Norse burials, which show the Vikings to be almost as tall, on average, as modern Scandinavians and are shown to have been, on average, taller than other contemporary Europeans. However, if you've ever studied height averages, you'd understand that averages can be misleading because you can have a lot of tall people, but then a few really short people can skew your averages. Any way, if you really want to know the truth, instead of just listening to a few of your friends and calling more informed people a 'liar," you'll need to pick up a book and read it.

@lac8494 "I want the source of who she bought her freedom from, Name of owner, Ship she came on, relationship to slave owner, and receipts, thank you." It's ironic how you demand such detailed proof regarding something which goes against your desired belief, but when you make the most absurd unfounded extreme claims (i.e. all the black negro nobility in Europe, and that it was so common as to be considered normal), you don't have to be held to the same standard of proof. So, be consistent. What's your proof in the same detail you require of others (btw, you won't be able to provide it, because it's not true).

@lac8494 Your last comment, "Ok, It's obvious you're an idiot, who is upset about his ws being challenged. Have you done any research for yourself or are you just a mindless sheep? I'm going with the latter, I am not saying that slavery didn't exist, what I am saying is that not all black people were slaves neither did they all come from the same place in 1619. Your assumptions are getting on my nerves, did I say my main source was the internet? You have not heard of Government records? you know Births, deaths, Marriages, migration records, war records, Burke's peerage. No sounds too much like hard work to you. Read what Benjamin Franklin, your home boy said and then research what he said and then come back with an intelligent argument, until then have a nice day and keep dreaming about slavery cos you might just get your wish, if you have "white guilt" that on you. I have no inferiority complex, in fact you're beneath me."
ALL I SAID WAS THAT YOU DIDN'T DESCEND FROM A BLACK NEGRO SCOTTISH NOBLE, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T SUCH A THING. THAT'S IT. AND, YOU STILL HAVEN'T OFFERED ANY EVIDENCE.
