[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] Dana and Lion - You both have broached an area that I have been content to leave alone. That is quantifying the Black presence in Europe post White invasion. There is ample evidence, both artifactual and written, of a Black presence in Europe, well into the medieval period. But the White mans propensity for lying and falsifying data, to me, makes the task of quantifying it impossible. However, there are a few interesting things to consider on the subject. We know that the Hellenes and the Latins were the first Whites in southern Europe. But interestingly, their descendants are all but extinct in modern Europe. Today's Europeans are Germanic's, Slav's, and Turks, all of which are post 600 A.D. or more succinctly, their presence is of the MODERN era. So lacking the data that Whites will never release, who can say what the racial make-up of post invasion, ancient Europe was really like? In Britain, the indigenous Black peoples were almost completely wiped out by the invading Anglo-Saxon's (a Germanic tribe). Whether this was due to genocide or Apartheid is argued in the study "Evidence for an apartheid-like social structure in early Anglo-Saxon England." http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/273/1601/2651.full Quote: Reproductive isolation and differential social status along ethnic lines is a frequent, temporary consequence of conquest and settlement, the best-known modern case being the Apartheid system in South Africa. In the post-Roman period, intermarriage between dominant immigrants and subject natives was banned in Visigothic France and Spain in the late fifth and early sixth century (King 1972). The Normans in eleventh- and twelfth-century England operated a conquest society in which the native English and Welsh had a lower legal status than Normans (Garnett 1985), and intermarriage, where it happened, was predominantly unidirectional, i.e. Norman men marrying English women. In Anglo-Saxon England, elements of an apartheid-like society can also be perceived in a Wessex law code of the seventh century which distinguishes clearly between Saxons and ‘Welsh’ (Britons) and gives the former a significantly higher legal status, some two centuries after the initial immigration (Whitelock 1979). Archaeological and skeletal data (Härke 1990, 1992), as well as textual evidence (Woolf 2004), have been used to suggest a situation of limited intermarriage between immigrant Anglo-Saxons and native Britons until the seventh century when this distinction began to break down.
