I never heard anyone make the “black Viking case” until that stupid Netflix show came out and then all of a sudden a bunch of hack historians claimed that Vikings were diverse and multicultural.
He who controls the past controls the present. He who controls the present controls the future.
Our history has significant power over us. If you choose to not pursue the truth but instead believe the lies you'll never be free. That's the case for your own personal history but also for the collective history of a community.
Theres descriptions of "swarthy" Vikings that some claim to mean black or tanned, but this description is often used to refer to the Rus or Sami peoples who lived the East and sometimes integrated with the Norsemen and Danes. It just means they have a ruddy complexion compared to the super pale Northmen
Swarthy just means darker. And in a region where parts of the country dont experience daylight for a month every year people are going to be very white, so anyone slightly darker than them will be 'swarthy'. The vikings also raided as far as the Mediterranean and even Greenland, so they would come home pretty tanned.
They were mostly making the case that Viking shieldmaidens were exactly the same thing as modern troon Discord moderators, blackening them wasn't a priority.
the machine can't allow ANYTHING, no matter how insignificant, that doesn't forward the agenda
unless men and women are absolutely equal in every way in every context (except sometimes women are better) then whatever that is has to be erased from public conciousness
I had to make the argument that Halfdan 'the Black' referred to hair color not skin color. I was rebuffed, with the argument that Norsemen raided for their wives, and I 'couldn't be sure' he was white.
Have no doubt that the intersectional nonsense is layered quite deeply.
Lmao as if black women would have been any more valuable in Norse culture than they are now, where they are basically the least desired romantic partner for men everywhere on Earth.

I always associated swarthy with eastern or southern European.

Swarthy means currynig or zulu.
In the making? This already is 1984. Just a worse one where blacks are worshipped.

Are they going to say that about samurai wives next?
Does the idea of last resort defense not resonate with them at all?
No that’s why “female hunters” became the next big buzzword for the hunter gatherer roles.

Not as much as putting on a wig and chopping off their dick does, apparently.
They're too busy obsessing over Yasuke to focus on samurai wives right now.
It’s the same with “female hunters” what used to be called the exception to the rule is now the only possible conclusion.
I saw that. They really jumped on that one. So now there will be even more female warrior shows.

I would’ve assumed hair color as well. When that black female Viking show came out I was honestly surprised at how many people defended it
there was that one air travel company ad in i think late 2010s?, with a nigger saying "our viking ancestors"
