[QUOTE="Joe, post: 324267, member: 9"] I never claimed that Black Africans were ever the dominant tribe/race in Europe. Only that they had a presence. ie - tho this is from a later priod, this song mentions the presence of Blacks in European Culture: [I]La conflades de la estlaya[/I] by Juan de Aurujo (17th Century) [MEDIA=youtube]ir99INrzNFg[/MEDIA] Anyways, I know Shampain hates Black people. but acknowledging that they had at least a peripheral presence in European history just as blond or red headed White settlers were similarly present in China thousands of years ago isn't so far fetched either. However small in numbers, they were there. Anyways because it is/was an anomaly, that's why it is interesting. Sort of like 'the odd man out'. In other words, something that didn't belong....but like White mummies in China...it was there So it makes history more interesting, not less.
