Troll Patty you are always interupting other people's conversations.
We are trying to learn Mike's teachings here, plus you are copying jari's new technique. Mike and Energy have both pointed out the error and lies of albino owned genetic testing facilities. Additionally no claims were made to their ancestry. Mike teaches that being black has nothing to do with ancestry, it has to do with skin pigmentation which is more readily apparent just by looking at photos. Therefore me or someone else not knowing their genetic makeup or ancestry is irrelevant to this conversation. You make the same mistake as jari, thinking copying and pasting a remark form a thread on DNA, genotype and ancestry applies to another thread in which the topic is phenotype or social constucts such a sthe word "black" discussions. Please fall back now and let Mike teach, stop tyring to piss on every tree like a dog.
thank you,

Albinos on the other hand, have very little diversity.

Mike, out of self-hatred you try to cluster yourself with other races.

Your entire racial typology is based on skin pigmentation only. You are a joke.

@ Lioness-

Off-topic, but while I was channel surfing last evening, I ran across some stupid "reality" [Roll Eyes] show (I don't watch them, smh) about men who grow their beards to long lengths- I believe it's called "Whisker Wars." I actually checked it out for bout 5 minutes....funny how some lank straight haired yte men can grow such bushy beards rather than lank straight beards to match the hair pon their headtops...

but then, I'm not aware of their genetic history.... [Roll Eyes] [Roll Eyes] [Roll Eyes] [Roll Eyes] they might just LOOK and act like and view themSelves as pale lank-hair yte men and not actually be so...it's the bushy beards that give dem away, I tell ya....  -

Mike I think I'm getting it now, the above are black people, while the below are albino:

.

No lioness, they are ALL Mulattoes. The only difference being when admixture took place, and how they self identify.

As a reminder, this is the ORIGINAL state of the Albinos. As you can see, NONE of them look like the original people. The reason for that is admixture: which creates hybrid humans displaying attributes from both donors.

Mike I'm getting confused listed Vanessa Williams as "All of these humans are Black people" now you seem to be putting her into the Mulatto category? She does have Welsh and American Indian ancestry.
But look at the man above and compare his skin tone to this man from Nigeria:
 -

they seem about equally dark. Therefore are they both NOT black? They are mulattoes?

Skull of a young athlete from the Roman cemetery in the Potamos area, near Agios Nikolaos.
The skull dates from the 1st century AD and is crowned with a golden diadem of olive leaves.
In the mouth of the dead youth was a silver coin from the city of Polyrrhenia in west Crete, dated to the reign of the Roman Emperor Tiberius.

Bumped into this by chance.
A vase from 500BC. showing a blond Nordic Greek, but the irony is that its showing Ganymede the blond "Sexboy" of Zeus. Kind of reminds my of Rock Hudson with his blond lover Ganymede.

Extensive homosexual activity is attributed to
the Greek gods... and paralleled among Greek mortals...


RECAP
 -

1-- The Greeks institutionalized homosexual practices
more, as opposed to mere tolerance of outliers.

For example, the mighty Spartans institutionalized it
as an integral part of their military training.
Along long with the Spartans the famous 'Sacred
Band" of Thebes was made of up 300 men joined in
homosexual pairs- sleeping together and fighting
together.

As regards the Spartans and others:

"..young boys between the ages of 6 and
16 were organized in 'packs' and 'herds'
and placed under the supervision of
young adult Spartans. This supervision
was sometimes seen as surrogate
fathering and one marker of its activity
".. was the institution of institutionalized
pederasty. After the age of twelve, each
Spartan teenager was expected to receive
a young adult warrior as his lover."

--From: The Spartans: the world of the
warrior-heroes of ancient Greece, from
utopia to crisis and collapse
Paul Cartledge, 2003.pg 69-70


1A-- The Greek institutionalization of homosexual
activity was heavily focused on pederasty:


In the "Politics of Spartan Pederasty" in
Homosexuality in the ancient world, pg 23,

various documentation from the Spartan era
ranges from rock-cut graffiti, to bronze
figurines of decidedly masculine "girls",
to depictions of anal copulation on
drinking cups, to terracotta votive masks
depicting unbearded 'Youth' and bearded
adult 'Warriors' found in the sanctuary at
Orthia.
quote:

".. the evidence of Xenophon and Plutarch is
sufficient to establish the important
conclusion that pederasty in Sparta was
institutionalised."


2-- The Greeks embraced homosexuality and it
also appears frequently among their major gods,
as part of the package, without any apparent
moral censure. It was simply accepted that the
major gods would get in their gay action.


For example, Mighty Poseidon took Pelops,
the son of Tantalus, to Mt. Olympus as his
paramour. Hermes, the Greek
messenger and trickster often known as
the “cunning deceiver was a lover of
both men and women. Hermes had
several sons including Pan, the horned
satyr who loved both men and women
(giving birth to the English word
“pansexual”). Romans gave Hermes the
name of Mercury, and both traditions
considered him to have invented
masturbation.

Apollo enjoyed male on male activity,
tragically killing Hyacinth, his beloved male
lad, in a discus-throwing accident.

Mighty Zeus was no shirker at the rear,
as his relationship with human male
Ganymede reveals. Ever generous, Zeus
gave Ganymede’s father a golden
grapevine and/or a pair of horses in
exchange for raping his son.

 -
Mighty Zeus was no shirker from the rear.. Here he kidnaps Ganymede for "Greek" activity..


3-- The Greeks seem to have embraced homosexual
activity widely although with certain qualifications, such
as disapproval of male prostitutes outside certain areas, etc etc.


FROM: Homosexuality in the ancient
world - Page 80.
Wayne R. Dynes, Stephen Donaldson -
1992 -


"One of the intriguing features of the
Greeks is their active interest in
homosexuality... Yet the adherents of
this solution [a ritual of initiation] have
not attempted an explanation pf this
puzzling phenomenon and they have
ignored the existence of Indo-European
(henceforth: I-E) parallels." pg 49

pg 50:
"The bachelors had recourse to sodomy,
a practice which was not reprobated but
was actually a custom of the country-
and a custom in the true sense, i.e., fully
sanctioned by male society and
universally practised."

---------

According to researchers Blumfield and Raymond
who have written several books on homosexuality,
the Greeks embraced the practice in many aspects of life, including in their militaries:

--(Looking at gay and lesbian life, 1988, by
Blumenfeld and Raymond: pg 153-179)


"It was not unusual for men to comment on the
attractiveness of other men, or for them to express
affection for one another. At least part of the reason
for this fascination with physical attractiveness and
sex is that the Greeks had developed into a culture
that had a great deal of leisure time. They were not
required to work constantly in order to survive.
Blumenfeld and Raymond wrote: “Similarly, the
Greek attitude toward sex was, for the most part,
value-neutral. …And, though exclusive
homosexuality was probably discouraged as a threat
to the family, it was widely tolerated both for older
men who had children and for younger men prior to
marriage.” (Blumenfeld and Raymond 1988, 155)

The Greek military attitude toward homosexuality
was that it brought a sense of comradeship. It was
often believed that a person would fight harder to
protect his unit if that unit included a lover or lovers.
This unique form of male bonding is attributed by
some to the greatness of the Greek military might. In
spite of this encouragement of homosexual practices,
the picture is different for those who were
exclusively passive at anal sex. They were believed
to be polluted, and to have become like women.
Therefore, they were expelled from military service
as untrustworthy.

Greek society only negatively defined homosexual
activity when it was exclusive or related to
prostitution by a citizen. In nearly every other
instance, homosexual conduct was considered
acceptable and practical. It was simply a way of
enjoying the beauty and awesomeness of the male
bodies that they revered so highly.

The attitude toward the family and education could
have also played a role in the attitude toward
homosexuality. The family was considered the basis
for reproduction. Women were restricted in their
sexual activity because they were needed in order to
bear children. Men could have sex with either
women or men, so long as they met their societal
obligation to reproduce. This is probably why
exclusive anal sex was prohibited. Catamites could
not bear children for their partners.

Education was the responsibility of the teachers and
philosophers. Girls were excluded from the
education system that was designed to teach boys
how to be men. The student was expected to respect
and admire his teacher. The teacher was expected to
gain the devotion and affection of his student.
Therefore, homosexual conduct between a teacher
and student was considered a valuable part of the
education process. The family, on the other hand,
was simply needed for procreation.

During the republic period, Cicero declared without
challenge that there is nothing illegal about a man
taking another to the country in order to enjoy his
erotic sensual pleasures. Although one could easily
have sex with his wife at home, a man in the baths, a
prostitute in the brothel, and a slave in a dark corner,
he would have only been criticized if he were not
able to keep everything in its place."

--(Looking at gay and lesbian life, 1988, by
Blumenfeld and Raymond: pg 153-179)
------------------------------------------------------------------

----------

Northern Europeans show extensive homosexual
activity stretching back to ancient times as scholars
note.

QUOTE:

"The fourth-century A.D. Roman writer Ammianus
Marcellinus described homosexual relationships
between youth and adult warriors among the Taifali,
a Germanic tribe related to the Goths.. Marcellinus
became familiar with the Taifali when he was posted
as a soldier in the region. Their youth, Marcellinus
write, remained in these homosexual relationships
until they became adults and had killed a boar or
bear, a typical initiatory ordeal. Similar homosexual
customs were described by the Roman historian
Procopius in the sixth century A.D. among another
German tribe, the Heruli.. homosexuality in the form
of institutionalized pederasty of the sort described by
Ammianis Marcellinus and Procopius is understood
to have been the rule within the Germanic warrior
societies.

Remarkably similar societies of unmarried warriors
existed in Norse and Celtic society. The members of
the Norse warrior societies also dedicated
themselves to their god, Odin, dressed likewise in
skins of wolves or bears and were said to fight with
the furor f one possessed of the spirits of those
animals.. Like the Germanic peoples, Celtic society
was ruled by a warrior aristocracy supported by a
farming peasantry.. While references by classical
writers to homosexual relationship between Celtic
warriors and youth are not detailed enough to be able
to establish an initiatory construct, the pederastic
relations that they described would almost certainly
have occurred within the fianna, the principal social
venue of the Celtic warriors. Indeed, given the close
similarity of Celtic and Germanic tribal customs, and
the well documented esteem of the Celts for male
homosexuality, it would have been odd if the Celts
did not practice a similar type of initiatory
homosexuality.

The ancient writers leave no doubt as to the Celtic
warriors; enthusiasm for homosexuality in general.
According to Aristotle, the Celts held homosexuality
in high esteem and publicly honored homosexual
relations. Diodorus writes that despite the charm of
Celtic women, the Celtic men: "long instead for the
embrace of one of their own sex, lying on animal
skins and tumbling around with a lover on either
side. It is particularly surprising that they attach no
value to either dignity or decency, offering their
bodies to each other without further ado. This was
not regarded as at all harmful: on the contrary, if they
were rejected in their approaches, they felt insulted."
Celtic youth evidently shared the attitudes of their
elders. The Greek writer Strabo, described the young
Celts of Gaul as "shamelessly generous with their
boyish charms."

"..The lack if sexual inhibitions that the Celtic
warriors displayed towards each other amid such an
atmosphere of masculine eroticism suggests that
homosexuality was not limited to pederastic
relations, and that love between comrades was also a
part of Celtic warrior life. In fact, it is warriors, not
youth, whom Diodorus describes as "offering their
bodies to each other without further ado." Such a
relationship between warrior peers even appears in
an Irish Celtic saga of the late first millennium."

MORE ON THE GREEKS
In ancient Greece homosexuality played an important role.



In ancient Greece homosexuality played an
important role, as it did among other
Indo-Europeans

.
QUOTE:
"While little is known of the sexual practices of the
Kassites, Hyksos or Aryans, that is not the case with
the Greeks. The extent of the prevalence and social
importance of homosexual behavior among the
ancient Greeks is so thoroughly documented that it is
possible to get a clear picture not only of the
character of homosexual relationships in Greeks
society, but the important role homosexuality played
in that society.. the fragmentary glimpses we have of
homosexual behavior among the other
Indo-European peoples can be recognized as
revealing a unified pattern of sexual customs and
beliefs that seems to have prevailed among all the
Indo-European ancestors of modern Europeans."
--Neill, James (2009). The origins and role of
same-sex relations in human societies. Mcfarland:

Pedophilia and homosexuality was common
among the Spartans. Wives and male lovers were
shared between Spartan men. Pederasty or use of
youth for homosexual purposes was well established
among the Spartans, Greeks and Cretans.


[quotes from various scholars:]
"..young boys between the ages of 6 and 16 were
organized in 'packs' and 'herds' and placed under the
supervision of young adult Spartans. This
supervision was sometimes seen as surrogate
fathering and one marker of its activity ".. was the
instutionalization of pederasty. After the age of
twelve, each Spartan teenager was expected to
receive a young adult warrior as his lover..
Punishment for various infractions such as suffering
silently under discipline was sometimes made on the
youth's older lover, for having failed to educate his
beloved properly."
--From: The Spartans: the world of the
warrior-heroes of ancient Greece, from utopia to
crisis and collapse
Paul Cartledge, Overlook Press, 2003.pg 69-70

"Aspects of Spartan society conduced less to
heterosexuality than to homosexuality. In his Laws,
Plato wrote that homosexuality resulted from the
(male) dining groups and from male nudity in
gymnasia. Records of Sparta from the classical
period seem to refer to homosexual boyfriends at
least as often as to wives. particularly revealing, are
some assertions by Xenophon on this subject."
--From: Sparta By Michael Whitby. 2002. Taylor
and Francis: p. 93

"Sparta too institutionalized homosexual relations
between mature men and adolescent boys, as well as
between adult women and girls.. many aspects of
Spartan homosexuality and marriage customs point
to tribal origins. Participation was mandatory for all
youth of good character. There were ordeals- a
common feature of tribal initiation.. Even after
marriage, men lived in men's houses, not with their
wives. Wives and male lovers were shared with
age-mates."
---From: The construction of homosexuality. David
F. Greenberg. University of Chicago Press. 1990.
p.107
--------------------------

Both homosexuality and pedophilia were
institutionalized among the Greeks per scholars:
[quotes from various scholars:]

FROM: Homosexuality in the ancient world -
Page 80. Wayne R. Dynes, Stephen Donaldson -
1992 -


quotes from Dynes and Donaldson:
"In short, I have no doubt that the evidence of
Xenophon and Plutarch is sufficient to establish the
important conclusion that pederasty in Sparta was
institutionalised." In the "Politics of Spartan
Pederasty" in Homosexuality in the ancient world,
pg 23, various documentation from the Spartan era
ranges from rock-cut graffiti, to bronze figurines of
decidedly masculine "girls", to depictions of anal
copulation on drinking cups, to terracotta votive
masks depicting unbearded 'Youth' and bearded adult
'Warriors' found in the sanctuary at Orthia.".

Some historian argue that Greek homosexual
activity had ritual significance in the form of the
semen, being an agent representing martial
excellence or prowess, imparted to the receiving
male in the process of sodomy. The venue of the
gymnasium also played a part.

quotes from Dynes and Donaldson:
"Next there is the point insisted upon by Plato's
Athenian Laws (1.636b; cg. Theaer. 162b, 169ab),
the role played by the gymnasia as hotbeds of
homosexuality. The Spartans put a premium on
gymnastic exercise, and if Thucydides (1.6.5) is to
be believed, it was they who invented the customs of
exercising stark naked and rubbing down with olive
oil. In Sparta therefore the cult of the nude male
body is likely to have been pushed to the extremes,
as it is known to have been in other less gymnastic
Greek cities.. None of these conditions favoring
homosexuality is wholly peculiar to Spartan society,
but their presence in combination suggests that the
integration of institutionalised pederasty into the
Agoge, whenever precisely it occurred, will at any
rate, not have been awkward."
pg 27

Yet others argue that the ties created by pederasty
extended to the networks of influence and
governance.

"Pederasty, in other words, could have acted at
Spartan in the age of Xenophon, as it certainly did in
fourth-century Crete, as a means of recruiting the
political elite,"
---------------

Young females were also used in Spartan society
as part of homosexual relations.

Quote:
"Plutarch relates that in Sparta, the noble women
loved the girls. Also the academic philosopher
Hagnon states: "Among the Spartans it was
customary (viz for adult women) to have intercourse

boys."
pg 292

Homosexuality was commonly recognized and
accepted in Greece, and suggest a common pattern
among Indo-European peoples. As one historian
notes:

"One of the intriguing features of the Greeks is their
active interest in homosexuality... Yet the adherents
of this solution [a ritual of initiation] have not
attempted an explanation pf this puzzling
phenomenon and they have ignored the existence of
Indo-European (henceforth: I-E) parallels." pg 49

pg 50:
"The bachelors had recourse to sodomy, a practice
which was not reprobated but was actually a custom
of the country- and a custom in the true sense, i.e.,
fully sanctioned by male society and universally
practised."


Some ancient Greek scholars held that the
Persians learned homosexuality from the Greeks

".. we pass straight on to the Persians. Our sources
are divided as to whether they practiced pederasty or
not. The latter view will be the more probably one,
since the Zoroastrian writings tome and again
strongly forbade pederasty. It is perhaps indicative
for this attitude that Agesilaos, although strongly in
love with the son of high-ranking Persian, refrains
from any physical contact. On the other hand, the
son of Pharnabazus is enamoured of a Greek boy,
and the recurrence of the prohibitions of pederasty
suggests that the Persians did not succeed in
stopping the practice. Such discrepancy between
theory and practice could elucidate the remark of
Herodotus that the Persians learned pederasty from
the Greeks."

Donaldson-1992 -



Historian Charles Freeman's "The Greek
Achievement" (1999) holds that homosexuality had
an influential place in some Greek institutions.
According to Freeman: [quote]
".. "The symposia provided the arena for much of
this sexual activity. These were highly ritualized
affairs whose origins lay in the banqueting halls of
aristocratic warriors. The men were garlanded and
reclined one or two to a couch around a central
table.. there is little evidence that symposia were
normally used to discuss politics. Rather the
opposite; the longest conversation in Plato's
Symposium is about the nature of homosexual love."
(Freeman: pg 299, pg 283-304)

Other writers find similar prominence in
Athens:

"Male homosexuality was also a prominent feature
of Classical Athens. It was widely practiced and
tolerated. Athenian law disenfranchised a citizen
who had prostituted his body to another male, but
nothing was done to males who engaged in
homosexual love with male prostitutes or other adult
males for love or pleasure. The law did not
eliminate male prostitution but ensured that male
prostitutes would be foreigners, not Athenian
citizens."

Prevalence of pederasty in Greece

"In general terms the [Greek] evidence
suggests that when men are deprived of
women by a late age of marriage, as they
were in Athens, they formed liaisons with
younger boys (a study of Renaissance
Florence where a similar age gap existed
found that homosexuality was more
prevalent there than in Italian city states
where the ages of couples on marriage
were equal. In this sense, young boys acted
as a substitute for women."


The famous Greek symposium was a
locale for pederastic sex. History records
that some Greek parents were disturbed by
homosexual activity in the symposium
involving their young male children


{QUOTES}

"Young boys would attend symposia as
part of their initiation into society and the
symposium could act as the setting for
pederastic sex."

"there was always the fear that his
manhood would be compromised by the
encounter and some families employed a
tutor to watch over their sons to keep them
clear of pederastic sex."

Pg 111
"However, as Kenneth Dover has pointed
out it is just at this time, the late seventh
century, that overt homosexuality between
men became an accepted part of Greek
social life… ' A Greek who said 'I am in
love' would not mind being asked 'with a
boy'..


Homosexual initiation was common in
Greek societies as seen in the practices of
Crete and Sparta. Young boys were taken
from home and used in homosexual
activity with older men as part of the
culture. In Sparta, homosexual practice
was also reflected by wives dressing as
young boys on their wedding night.

{QUOTE}

"Such an initiation ceremony is recorded
by the greographer Strabo (first century
B.C.) in Crete where young boys were
kidnapped, taken to a remote part of the
country, and then kept there for two
months. They were taught hunting, feasting
and military skills with the context of some
form of sexual relationship. IN other
words, homosexual initiation was pat of
the transition from youth to adulthood. In
the messes of Sparta, homosexual activity
was normal, while the warriors of fourth
century Thebes, at one moment the best in
Greece, were said to owe their cohesion to
paired homosexual bonding. In Sparta, it
was ritualized by a new wife dressing as a
boy for her wedding night, and then as a
woman thereafter."

1-- The Greeks institutionalized homosexual practices
more, as opposed to mere tolerance of outliers.

For example, the mighty Spartans institutionalized it
as an integral part of their military training.
Along long with the Spartans the famous 'Sacred
Band" of Thebes was made of up 300 men joined in
homosexual pairs- sleeping together and fighting
together.

As regards the Spartans and others:

"..young boys between the ages of 6 and
16 were organized in 'packs' and 'herds'
and placed under the supervision of
young adult Spartans. This supervision
was sometimes seen as surrogate
fathering and one marker of its activity
".. was the institution of institutionalized
pederasty. After the age of twelve, each
Spartan teenager was expected to receive
a young adult warrior as his lover."

--From: The Spartans: the world of the
warrior-heroes of ancient Greece, from
utopia to crisis and collapse
Paul Cartledge, 2003.pg 69-70


1A-- The Greek institutionalization of homosexual
activity was heavily focused on pederasty:


In the "Politics of Spartan Pederasty" in
Homosexuality in the ancient world, pg 23,

various documentation from the Spartan era
ranges from rock-cut graffiti, to bronze
figurines of decidedly masculine "girls",
to depictions of anal copulation on
drinking cups, to terracotta votive masks
depicting unbearded 'Youth' and bearded
adult 'Warriors' found in the sanctuary at
Orthia.
quote:

".. the evidence of Xenophon and Plutarch is
sufficient to establish the important
conclusion that pederasty in Sparta was
institutionalised."


2-- The Greeks embraced homosexuality and it
also appears frequently among their major gods,
as part of the package, without any apparent
moral censure. It was simply accepted that the
major gods would get in their gay action.


For example, Mighty Poseidon took Pelops,
the son of Tantalus, to Mt. Olympus as his
paramour. Hermes, the Greek
messenger and trickster often known as
the “cunning deceiver was a lover of
both men and women. Hermes had
several sons including Pan, the horned
satyr who loved both men and women
(giving birth to the English word
“pansexual”). Romans gave Hermes the
name of Mercury, and both traditions
considered him to have invented
masturbation.

Apollo enjoyed male on male activity,
tragically killing Hyacinth, his beloved male
lad, in a discus-throwing accident.

Mighty Zeus was no shirker at the rear,
as his relationship with human male
Ganymede reveals. Ever generous, Zeus
gave Ganymede’s father a golden
grapevine and/or a pair of horses in
exchange for raping his son.

 -
White Zeus was no shirker at hindquarters.
Here he kidnaps and prepares to sodomize the white youth Ganymede ..



3-- The Greeks seem to have embraced homosexual
activity widely although with certain qualifications, such
as disapproval of male prostitutes outside certain areas, etc etc.


FROM: Homosexuality in the ancient
world - Page 80.
Wayne R. Dynes, Stephen Donaldson -

"One of the intriguing features of the
Greeks is their active interest in
homosexuality... Yet the adherents of
this solution [a ritual of initiation] have
not attempted an explanation pf this
puzzling phenomenon and they have
ignored the existence of Indo-European
(henceforth: I-E) parallels." pg 49

pg 50:
"The bachelors had recourse to sodomy,
a practice which was not reprobated but
was actually a custom of the country-
and a custom in the true sense, i.e., fully
sanctioned by male society and
universally practised."

---------

According to researchers Blumfield and Raymond
who have written several books on homosexuality,
the Greeks embraced the practice in many aspects of life, including in their militaries:

--(Looking at gay and lesbian life, 1988, by
Blumenfeld and Raymond: pg 153-179)


"It was not unusual for men to comment on the
attractiveness of other men, or for them to express
affection for one another. At least part of the reason
for this fascination with physical attractiveness and
sex is that the Greeks had developed into a culture
that had a great deal of leisure time. They were not
required to work constantly in order to survive.
Blumenfeld and Raymond wrote: “Similarly, the
Greek attitude toward sex was, for the most part,
value-neutral. …And, though exclusive
homosexuality was probably discouraged as a threat
to the family, it was widely tolerated both for older
men who had children and for younger men prior to
marriage.” (Blumenfeld and Raymond 1988, 155)

The Greek military attitude toward homosexuality
was that it brought a sense of comradeship. It was
often believed that a person would fight harder to
protect his unit if that unit included a lover or lovers.
This unique form of male bonding is attributed by
some to the greatness of the Greek military might. In
spite of this encouragement of homosexual practices,
the picture is different for those who were
exclusively passive at anal sex. They were believed
to be polluted, and to have become like women.
Therefore, they were expelled from military service
as untrustworthy.

Greek society only negatively defined homosexual
activity when it was exclusive or related to
prostitution by a citizen. In nearly every other
instance, homosexual conduct was considered
acceptable and practical. It was simply a way of
enjoying the beauty and awesomeness of the male
bodies that they revered so highly.

The attitude toward the family and education could
have also played a role in the attitude toward
homosexuality. The family was considered the basis
for reproduction. Women were restricted in their
sexual activity because they were needed in order to
bear children. Men could have sex with either
women or men, so long as they met their societal
obligation to reproduce. This is probably why
exclusive anal sex was prohibited. Catamites could
not bear children for their partners.

Education was the responsibility of the teachers and
philosophers. Girls were excluded from the
education system that was designed to teach boys
how to be men. The student was expected to respect
and admire his teacher. The teacher was expected to
gain the devotion and affection of his student.
Therefore, homosexual conduct between a teacher
and student was considered a valuable part of the
education process. The family, on the other hand,
was simply needed for procreation.

During the republic period, Cicero declared without
challenge that there is nothing illegal about a man
taking another to the country in order to enjoy his
erotic sensual pleasures. Although one could easily
have sex with his wife at home, a man in the baths, a
prostitute in the brothel, and a slave in a dark corner,
he would have only been criticized if he were not
able to keep everything in its place."

Blumenfeld and Raymond: pg 153-179)

Northern Europeans show extensive homosexual
activity stretching back to ancient times as scholars
note.

QUOTE:

"The fourth-century A.D. Roman writer Ammianus
Marcellinus described homosexual relationships
between youth and adult warriors among the Taifali,
a Germanic tribe related to the Goths.. Marcellinus
became familiar with the Taifali when he was posted
as a soldier in the region. Their youth, Marcellinus
write, remained in these homosexual relationships
until they became adults and had killed a boar or
bear, a typical initiatory ordeal. Similar homosexual
customs were described by the Roman historian
Procopius in the sixth century A.D. among another
German tribe, the Heruli.. homosexuality in the form
of institutionalized pederasty of the sort described by
Ammianis Marcellinus and Procopius is understood
to have been the rule within the Germanic warrior
societies.

Remarkably similar societies of unmarried warriors
existed in Norse and Celtic society. The members of
the Norse warrior societies also dedicated
themselves to their god, Odin, dressed likewise in
skins of wolves or bears and were said to fight with
the furor f one possessed of the spirits of those
animals.. Like the Germanic peoples, Celtic society
was ruled by a warrior aristocracy supported by a
farming peasantry.. While references by classical
writers to homosexual relationship between Celtic
warriors and youth are not detailed enough to be able
to establish an initiatory construct, the pederastic
relations that they described would almost certainly
have occurred within the fianna, the principal social
venue of the Celtic warriors. Indeed, given the close
similarity of Celtic and Germanic tribal customs, and
the well documented esteem of the Celts for male
homosexuality, it would have been odd if the Celts
did not practice a similar type of initiatory
homosexuality.

The ancient writers leave no doubt as to the Celtic
warriors; enthusiasm for homosexuality in general.
According to Aristotle, the Celts held homosexuality
in high esteem and publicly honored homosexual
relations. Diodorus writes that despite the charm of
Celtic women, the Celtic men: "long instead for the
embrace of one of their own sex, lying on animal
skins and tumbling around with a lover on either
side. It is particularly surprising that they attach no
value to either dignity or decency, offering their
bodies to each other without further ado. This was
not regarded as at all harmful: on the contrary, if they
were rejected in their approaches, they felt insulted."
Celtic youth evidently shared the attitudes of their
elders. The Greek writer Strabo, described the young
Celts of Gaul as "shamelessly generous with their
boyish charms."

"..The lack if sexual inhibitions that the Celtic
warriors displayed towards each other amid such an
atmosphere of masculine eroticism suggests that
homosexuality was not limited to pederastic
relations, and that love between comrades was also a
part of Celtic warrior life. In fact, it is warriors, not
youth, whom Diodorus describes as "offering their
bodies to each other without further ado." Such a
relationship between warrior peers even appears in
an Irish Celtic saga of the late first millennium."

MORE ON THE GREEKS
In ancient Greece homosexuality played an important role.



In ancient Greece homosexuality played an
important role, as it did among other
Indo-Europeans

.
QUOTE:
"While little is known of the sexual practices of the
Kassites, Hyksos or Aryans, that is not the case with
the Greeks. The extent of the prevalence and social
importance of homosexual behavior among the
ancient Greeks is so thoroughly documented that it is
possible to get a clear picture not only of the
character of homosexual relationships in Greeks
society, but the important role homosexuality played
in that society.. the fragmentary glimpses we have of
homosexual behavior among the other
Indo-European peoples can be recognized as
revealing a unified pattern of sexual customs and
beliefs that seems to have prevailed among all the
Indo-European ancestors of modern Europeans."
--Neill, James (2009). The origins and role of
same-sex relations in human societies. Mcfarland:

Pedophilia and homosexuality was common
among the Spartans. Wives and male lovers were
shared between Spartan men. Pederasty or use of
youth for homosexual purposes was well established
among the Spartans, Greeks and Cretans.


[quotes from various scholars:]
"..young boys between the ages of 6 and 16 were
organized in 'packs' and 'herds' and placed under the
supervision of young adult Spartans. This
supervision was sometimes seen as surrogate
fathering and one marker of its activity ".. was the
instutionalization of pederasty. After the age of
twelve, each Spartan teenager was expected to
receive a young adult warrior as his lover..
Punishment for various infractions such as suffering
silently under discipline was sometimes made on the
youth's older lover, for having failed to educate his
beloved properly."
--From: The Spartans: the world of the
warrior-heroes of ancient Greece, from utopia to
crisis and collapse
Paul Cartledge, Overlook Press, 2003.pg 69-70

"Aspects of Spartan society conduced less to
heterosexuality than to homosexuality. In his Laws,
Plato wrote that homosexuality resulted from the
(male) dining groups and from male nudity in
gymnasia. Records of Sparta from the classical
period seem to refer to homosexual boyfriends at
least as often as to wives. particularly revealing, are
some assertions by Xenophon on this subject."
--From: Sparta By Michael Whitby. 2002. Taylor
and Francis: p. 93

"Sparta too institutionalized homosexual relations
between mature men and adolescent boys, as well as
between adult women and girls.. many aspects of
Spartan homosexuality and marriage customs point
to tribal origins. Participation was mandatory for all
youth of good character. There were ordeals- a
common feature of tribal initiation.. Even after
marriage, men lived in men's houses, not with their
wives. Wives and male lovers were shared with
age-mates."
---From: The construction of homosexuality. David
F. Greenberg. University of Chicago Press. 1990.
p.107
--------------------------

Both homosexuality and pedophilia were
institutionalized among the Greeks per scholars:
[quotes from various scholars:]

FROM: Homosexuality in the ancient world -
Page 80. Wayne R. Dynes, Stephen Donaldson -
1992 -


quotes from Dynes and Donaldson:
"In short, I have no doubt that the evidence of
Xenophon and Plutarch is sufficient to establish the
important conclusion that pederasty in Sparta was
institutionalised." In the "Politics of Spartan
Pederasty" in Homosexuality in the ancient world,

ranges from rock-cut graffiti, to bronze figurines of
decidedly masculine "girls", to depictions of anal
copulation on drinking cups, to terracotta votive
masks depicting unbearded 'Youth' and bearded adult
'Warriors' found in the sanctuary at Orthia.".

Some historian argue that Greek homosexual
activity had ritual significance in the form of the
semen, being an agent representing martial
excellence or prowess, imparted to the receiving
male in the process of sodomy. The venue of the
gymnasium also played a part.

quotes from Dynes and Donaldson:
"Next there is the point insisted upon by Plato's
Athenian Laws (1.636b; cg. Theaer. 162b, 169ab),
the role played by the gymnasia as hotbeds of
homosexuality. The Spartans put a premium on
gymnastic exercise, and if Thucydides (1.6.5) is to
be believed, it was they who invented the customs of
exercising stark naked and rubbing down with olive
oil. In Sparta therefore the cult of the nude male
body is likely to have been pushed to the extremes,
as it is known to have been in other less gymnastic
Greek cities.. None of these conditions favoring
homosexuality is wholly peculiar to Spartan society,
but their presence in combination suggests that the
integration of institutionalised pederasty into the
Agoge, whenever precisely it occurred, will at any
rate, not have been awkward."
pg 27

Yet others argue that the ties created by pederasty
extended to the networks of influence and
governance.

"Pederasty, in other words, could have acted at
Spartan in the age of Xenophon, as it certainly did in
fourth-century Crete, as a means of recruiting the
political elite,"
---------------

Young females were also used in Spartan society
as part of homosexual relations.

Quote:
"Plutarch relates that in Sparta, the noble women
loved the girls. Also the academic philosopher
Hagnon states: "Among the Spartans it was
customary (viz for adult women) to have intercourse
with girls before their marriage, as one did with
boys."
pg 292

Homosexuality was commonly recognized and
accepted in Greece, and suggest a common pattern
among Indo-European peoples. As one historian

"One of the intriguing features of the Greeks is their
active interest in homosexuality... Yet the adherents

Cass - You are a pasty pink and ugly Albino. Do you think that by attacking the beauty, robustness, and virility of Blackness, that will change your condition?

It won't, the only chance you have for improvement is with your offspring. If you can find a Black willing to mate with you, you may look forward to offspring of a hardier breed. Beauty however is another story entirely, you are not likely to produce anything along those lines.

So if you want to change something like THIS:

Our Surinam man's love for truly fat women is one of our unspoken national assets and the fat white Dutch ladies are making a bee-line to the Marroon villages in our green interior. And bringing euro's too...

Mike111, dear, I start a new thread about scientific fraud because I feel our displeasure with our white neighbours and their mental aphasia for neglecting data is downright fraude. We should point this out and instead of simply calling them liars we can use more established terms to point out their fraudulent ways.

I cannot post the new thread...

^Euphemism to describe crime is pure silliness. It indicates weakness and uncertainty on the part of the would-be challenger. The unspoken thought is: "suppose I'm wrong". Well I don't have that problem, before taking a stand, I thoroughly investigated all possibilities, and then I gathered data, and looked at it objectively. Only then did I declare the truth as supported by EVIDENCE - not belief. So I say:

How silly to call a mass murder, a misguided life-taker.

How silly to call someone who purposefully fabricates a false history - mistaken.

How silly to call a defective, degenerate Albino, intent on destruction and conquest - simply White.

The use of euphemism indicates a desire to give respect and not offend. I personally don't believe in coddling criminals.

What do you think you are history stealing white people hating black racist black supremacist Mikey boy, a history stealing criminal. YOU are the one is purposely fabricating history, seeking to put a black face on everyone in history. Trying to do harm to whites by stealing everything of ours. Demeaning us, belittling us, degrading us, dehumanizing us by stealing our history, our heritage, our identities, our homeland leaving us with nothing, out of your sheer hatred of us & your racism towards us. PUT UP OR SHUT UP, POST UNBIASED PROOF, ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ON THAT OTHER THREAD OR ADMIT YOU'RE LYING Racist boy.

Albinos on the other hand, have very little diversity.

Mike I think I'm getting it now, the above are black people, while the below are albino:

.

No lioness, they are ALL Mulattoes. The only difference being when admixture took place, and how they self identify.

As a reminder, this is the ORIGINAL state of the Albinos. As you can see, NONE of them look like the original people. The reason for that is admixture: which creates hybrid humans displaying attributes from both donors.

Again you stupid white people hating black racist black supremacist, whites are NOT Albinos. Those people do NOT look anything like whites, even with their light skin you can still tell they are Pakistanis dumby. Again WE ARE NOT ALBINOS, WE ARE NOT ASIANS dumby. PUT UP OR SHUT UP RACIST BOY, POST UNBIASED PROOF, ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ON THE OTHER THREAD OR ADIMT YOU LIED.

Awww did I make little Mikey boy, the white people hating, black racist black supremacist show his hatred/racism again LOL. You are the one trying to say who everyone else is. I don't need to get together with Cass. You are the one presuming to decide who everyone else is, labeling whites as Albinos for no other reason than your petty hatred for us. Labeling my European Ancestors as Black. Labeling all whites Germanic when we are not. The definition of Caucasian hasn't changed recently, it is still the Native people's of Europe, The Middle East, N. Africa & India has been for years. Now the definition of who is White has changed, to some it is only those of wholly European decent & to some it is anyone with fair skin except Albino Negros. Again white people hating black racist, White people are NOT Albinos and we are NOT Asians either. PUT UP OR SHUT UP MIKEY BOY, POST UNBIASED PROOF, ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ON THE OTHER THREAD OR ADMIT YOU LIED.

BTW, No I will NOT F-off, I will be here like a little dog nipping at your heels who just won't go away no matter how badly you treat it LOL,

^Poor Cass, the dejected Albino.
He just won't accept that genetically he is merely some Black mans Albino child.

So he engages in endless posts claiming the uniqueness of Albinos, but since the only thing unique about Albinos is their White pigment-less skin: so every time he is knocked on his pink ass. But in the true manner of the mentally defective, he gets up, dusts off his pink Albino ass, and tries it again.

Isn't the definition of stupidity: "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time".

''The question arises, why so many people say or imply that the races differ only in skin colour when this is so obviously untrue. Those who minimise racial differences by speaking as though the only difference between a European and (for instance) a Chinese were of skin colour, appear unwittingly to admit that recognition of the more fundamental differences that actually exist might affect people’s views on the ethnic problem; for it might be regarded as unlikely that such differences could co-exist with exact similarity in the parts of the body concerned with thought and feeling.''

John Baker, Race, 1974, p. 180

Pale white skin among ancient Greek males was a marker of the rich, elite or nobility. It was considered by the darker skinned Mediterranoid population, of the lower classes, to be effeminate. Some sources -

In Aristophanes, Clouds 102-104, those of the philosopher class are pale white:

''Bah! They are rogues; I know them. You mean the quacks, the pale-faced wretches, the bare-footed fellows, of whose numbers are the miserable Socrates and Chaerephon.''

Pale skinned men, typically of the ruling classes according to Euripides, Bacchae 451-459, appear effeminate:

''Loose his hands; for now that I have him in the net he is scarce swift enough to elude me. So, sir stranger, thou art not ill-favoured from a woman's point of view, which was thy real object in coming to Thebes; thy hair is long because thou hast never been a wrestler, flowing right down thy cheeks most wantonly; thy skin is white to help thee gain thy end, not tanned by ray of sun, but kept within the shade, as thou goest in quest of love with beauty's bait.''

Plato (Republic, 474e) notes that those with white skin are ''children of the Gods'', meaning the royals and aristocrats who claimed descent from Greek deities, but that those with dark skin were 'manly':

“The swarthy are of manly aspect, the white are the children of the Gods divinely fair and as for honey-hued, do you suppose the very word is anything but the euphemistic invention of some lover who can feel no distaste for sallowness when it accompanies the blooming time of youth”.

The Suda O 801 notes:

'Pale men are no use [other] than for shoemaking'

Cobblers of course earned their living working indoors and so their skin never became sunburnt.

Erasmus, Adagia III vi 28 (Nulla candidorum virorum utilitas = Pale men are of no use) quotes the Greek proverb from Suda O 801.

In Menander's Dyskolos, a young rich townsman named Sostratos falls in love with the lower class farmer Knemon's daughter. To win her hand, Sostratos volunteers to till the soil on Knemon's farm and must loose his pale white complexion via sunburning -

"The sun was burning me" (ὁ δ' ἥλιος κατέκα'), says Sostratos afterwards (line 535). Later in the play (line 754) Knemon looks at Sostratos and says, "He has been burned. Is he a farmer?" (ἐπικέκαυται μέν. γεωργός ἐστι;).
