[QUOTE]Originally posted by kdolo: [QB] Lioness, I am aware of the standard (White) history of Spain. You summed it up nicely... "The Romans ruled before the Goths and before them Celtic "Gauls" who arrived 6th c BC" But there is a problem. The Visigothic kings/peoples labeled their crusade 'La Reconquista'....... the RECONQUEST. To what 1st conquest are they referring in thwir reconquest ??? ....a conquest of the Romans ??? If so, why label the crusade a reconquista ?? The label suggests that they perceived their crusade to be against the same or similar people from whom they took the land in the first place.....as in...we are re doing what we did already....against the same folk. This raises a number of interesting questions. 1. Did the Visigoths (i.e.Whites) consider the Romans and the Romanized Celts to be non-White ?? 2. What were the extent of the connections between the non-Visigothic peoples in Spain and across Gibralter in Africa. current scholarship describes the whole conflict as more of a civil war... a significant percentage of Spaniards welcomed the Moors with open arms.... Civil War suggest different ethnic or ideological factions.....is it possible that rank and file southern Spaniards had an affinity with the Africans and perceived the Visigothic nobility as an oppressive, parasitic, and ethnically different elite....... This interpretation sheds light on the Spanish obsession with biological purity....limpieaza de sangre and the inquisition.....the attempt to assert once and for all ethnic alleagiance and uniformity. ....final white supremacy so to speak.
