White Mediterraneans? Spanish, Italians, Portugese, and Greeks?  
Those are some pretty swarthy sonsabitches. They’re not true white people. They’re swarthy because in ancient times they interbred with the Moors (the Moors were black.)

It seems to me that if you’re going to set out to be a white supremacist you might as well do it right and actually argue for the supremacy of actual white people instead of Meditaranean Moorish Mutts.

Oh, I get it. Salvador, as in savior of the “Mediterranean race”. One problem. You Meds ain’t white. Sicilians and southern Italians tend to have the same sickle cell gene that they have in West Africa. Only one way they could have gotten it. RACIAL MIXING! You ain’t white. Fess up to it.

So uh, why do the Europeans get Europe but the North Americans don’t get North America nor the South Americans South America? And what about the Australians, for God’s sake?! Why does no one care about the Australians???

Salvador:

I’m guessing you might not be around very long, so allow me to elaborate. The entire area of Europe you describe was conquered in the dark ages by a group called the Moors. The Moors were black muslims from Mauritania, now Morroco. Look at a map. They conquered spain and the greater part of Europe. Racially they were black with some Arabic blood.

“White” Europe was basically in a state of barbarism, not even up to a feudal level. The Moorish conquest brought civilization to Europe and sparked the renaissance. Much of Western culture actually has its origins in the Moorish conquests. The Moors are still very much with us as they interbred extensively throughout the Meditarranean.

Western concepts of morality have their roots in chivalry which was taught to the Europeans directly by their Moorish conquerors.

So, if you want to talk about a Western culture, you’re talking about a culture that was founded by black Islamics who civilized Europe.

Them’s the facts.

I believe you’ve found some patient debaters in the White Supremacy thread in GD. You would be more welcome if you came here to learn as well as to instruct. So far, all I’ve seen is an attempt to instruct. Spend some time asking the folks here some questions. There’s a lot of knowledged to be mined. Don’t waste it.

If, on the other hand, you really do think you have all the answers, then you won’t be welcomed here.

That’s up to you, not me. Note the “don’t be a jerk” rule, and even even if you can’t help but be one (as I’ll admit I’ve been on plenty of occasions), try to keep an open mind and a thick skin. One good way is to lurk more and post less: I’ve been here for 39 months, with an average rate of 25 posts a month. You’re up to 21 and it’s not half-way through the month.

Seeing as this board has 44,710 members, the chances of learning something from so large a group are a lot better than the possiblility of posting something that will impress the living shit out of all of them, and might also be the more worthwhile prospect.

Hold on, that’s not right, is it? The Moors only conquered Spain, and not even the whole thing; the northern parts remained Christian. Other than that, the Islamic world remained confined to Asia and North Africa, except for that little bit of northwest Turkey. Though it’s certainly true that the Islamic world played a key role in preserving classical Greek and Latin learning during a period when most of Europe was relatively barbaric.

And now you’ve made me feel all icky, having been compelled to challenge a post challenging a racist. I’m definitely not defending Salvador’s ridiculous notions, but let’s not overstate the case either.

I second the ickiness. I hate being pedantic here of all places, but…

Anyway you’re both just a little off, though **Ferrous** is closer :).

The 8th-9th century Arab/“Moorish” conquests encompassed Iberia ( almost all of it, except a little chunk in the northwest ), most of the more major Mediterranean islands ( Crete, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta, Cyprus, the Balearics ), bits of southwestern France, and bits of southeastern Italy. Not Greece ( which instead was mostly overrun by Slavs on the mainland, a few strongholds like Thessalonika excepted ) and certainly not the greater part of Europe, though wider areas were threatened and/or raided. Permanent advances into Anatolia didn’t begin until the late 11th century and in mainland Greece and the Balkans not until the 14th ( by which time there was contraction in the west ).

The Moors were a mix of Arabs and Berbers. The Berbers can be all over the map racially, but it would appear that a majority are not any less caucasian than the Arabs. See pictures and articles below:

[http://www.world-destiny.org/berbers.htm](http://www.world-destiny.org/berbers.htm)  
[http://www.gosahara.org/mas.html](http://www.gosahara.org/mas.html)

Most of the Berbers from the Kabyle or the Rif seem to be caucasian, but the Tuaregs seem rather more variable, with many being pretty dark ( this may patly stem from dissemination of the Berber languages in the Sahara, though that’s just supposition on my part ). At any rate the assumption that most of the early “Moors” were black in the modern sense is probably unwarranted ( though doubtless some were ).

That said, the general comments about the relative sophistication of the 8th-11th century Iberian Muslims relative to most of Dark Age Europe are reasonable enough.
