    the basis of modern Patriarchy

    So pagans weren’t white?

    white supremacy was born

    The Norse?

    What a weird definition you use

      What I meant is simply that the roman empire and the Catholic church forged ideological colonial basis of today, not that racism didn’t exist before

      Also I meant Patriarchy as an overarching colonial institution, not as an isolated cultural concept. The world wasn’t always universally like this, there are many examples of non (or less) patriarchal societies throughout history, and we don’t know enough about prehistory to make any definitive judgement on humanity

        True but that doesn’t fit with your argument as a precondition to being white

        Norse are the Scandinavians

        I would say Northern Germanic but it might cause confusion with the country

          I meant the accusation that white supremacy was “born” in the nordics.

          Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant?

            That’s where pale white people come from, they killed dark white people across Europe as they spread

              I think they were equal opportunity killers.

              I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling or just saying completely baseless stuff.

              Viking raiders didn’t care about the colour of your skin, not to mention the English are visually just as light in tone. Saying it’s the root of white supremacy is baseless.

                The Normans replaced the Britons who were darker

                The Welsh are the only dark people left on the Isles and even they aren’t homogeneous in that anymore

                  I can’t even tell if you’re talking about Brittany or England. The Normans pushed out the Celtic bretons in Brittany but that has nothing to do with the isles where the West Germanic angles and Saxons pushed out the native Celtics. There the Normans just came up to rule.

                    England

                    Britain is because Rome called the people that lived there Britons

                    Predating Brittany
