    As a European (German), I can assure you that there were plenty of black African and Moorish Northern Africans on European courts going back to medieval times. They were there to broaden their horizons and establish diplomatic and trade relations. There were frequent inter marriages and the children of such alliances usually bore variations of the name Maurice, Morris, Moritz etc..

Not because she wasn't his sexual type,but because he worship Sun in sky and he didn't want to be touched by anything. Then the baby looked like King because it was the King's desire to see what would happen with what he was leaning from worship of the Sun. Then after testing he saw it worked and took care of what he did with his wife. So she wouldn't go crazy from her husband wanting to make her participate in sick and mad sexual acts.

      @ People generally build their identity on their history. That’s why the current elites of western nations have gone to great lengths to superimpose themselves into every great civilisation that ever existed.
      If all you’ve been told about your history is that it began with slavery and ended with civil rights, then you have no history which creates an inferiority complex. This is by design because unless you look for the truth, history is whatever the ruling elites of a society tell you it is.

      The modern so called African American is the result of the mix of West African blacks that were sold into slavery in which some have Israelite ancestry as well as Kemitic, the black Brits that were exiled to the colonies who also descend from Israel, as well native Americans who over the course of centuries all mixed. They’re not just one thing which is how I know you just gobbled up and regurgitated the narrative you’ve been fed by the propaganda machine you lemming.

      Swarthy did not only mean black or black person. Tawny could mean black, but Asians were also referred as tawny in the mid 18th century.
      These terms were very ambiguous.
      See Ben Franklin: Observation Concerning The Increase of Mankind 1751:
      That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

      Swarthy did mean black or black people as in the definition it’s speaking of complexion which refers to skin pigment. In Europe they were Black with a small amount of white even by Ben Franklin. So they are referring to Black and Brown people. Yes, Burnett was a term used for a woman with brown or dark complexion, again it’s referring to skin pigmentation when they mention complexion.

And the continent has the most genetic variation of any place in the world with many ethnic groups being more related to European, Arabic, and Asian groups. Then other Africans. It’s important to remember not only are our genetic studies bias they only have a small amount of individuals to pull from. And on top of that, they will not show every individuals full ancestry.

    The term 'swarthy' or 'black' often simply meant tanned in europe. Older generations often described people who tanned by such terms. My grandmother was often described as 'swarthy', 'black', or 'dark skinned' as a child. She is irish born and bred, she has a plale olive complextion but tans fairly well when sunny out. My grandparents didnt even see any black people until their 30s ..people are taking the meanings way to literally but native born europeans know these terms dont actually mean they were black from africa. It simply meant tanned, even in ireland today if u gain a tan people will call you dark, or say u look black if u gain a good tan. It doesnt mean u are in the literal sense. The nun is also described as 'very swarthy', meaninh she was darker to an extent that was common otherwise she would have just been described as swarthy. Olive skin is normally what people meant as olive skinned people were often the darkest types of people other europeans would see on a day to day basis. Europe is very homogenous in the sense that most europeans genetically only descend from european ethnicities, with no admixture outside the continent. Dark skin to an irish farmer in medieval times or a german soldier in medieval times would have been different to what we think of as black or dark skin. People are taking the worlds out of context and too literal. The nun is likely his daughter with a black woman. Bodies decay differently and the skin of some peoples bodies can go dark very quick, or change colour. I severly doubt all these royals were black or had strong black traits as it would have been noted by witnesses.

      This was especially so during the time periods when porcelain white skin was prized and sunbathing was frowned upon.
      The Oxford English dictionary gives the definition "Of a person's complexion or skin colour, or of a person with reference to their complexion: (relatively) dark in colour; brown, olive-coloured, or tanned. Of a place: predominantly inhabited by people with relatively dark skin (now archaic).". They go on to provide a quote from 1745 ( and others) for context: "we proceed from the swarthiest white Person to the palest Egyptian, from thence to the fairest Mustee, Molatto, Moor, &c. to the darkest Indian.
      J. Mitchell in Philosophical Transactions 1744-5 (Royal Society) vol. 43 122". Clearly a white person could be swarthy, the creator and many commenters on this video suffer from confirmation bias. Here is another from OED describing Arabs: 1786From a swarthy crimson, to a bright rose colour.

      People have to understand there were white people who were actually of dark complexion like we have today. Greeks, Turks, Arabs etc etc all have a darker hue more than Northern Europeans. So not always is a person of African heritage just because his skin tone is darker than the average European. Plus not all people who are mixed with black is black. Example. Alexander Pushkin is always labeled as black. He wasn’t. He was of mixed heritage. His grandfather was a full African and his father was biracial. Thus he’s mixed because they all had European females as mates. At best he’s 25% African.

      @@kingmono Yes they were. "Swarthy" has been used to describe people in Europe for centuries with a tan or a natural olive complexion. You also had people with dark hair who were labelled "black" even if they had pale skin, such as the black irish.
      The earliest definition of swarthy is around 1572.
      "Of a person's complexion or skin colour, or of a person with reference to their complexion: (relatively) dark in colour; brown, olive-coloured, or tanned. Of a place: predominantly inhabited by people with relatively dark skin (now archaic). "
      So, swarthy, dark, black, tanned or olive could describe a whole range of different people who have nothing in common with one another genetically.
      Another one which was used 6 years before Benjamin Franklin described some Europeans as swarthy.
      " If we proceed from the swarthiest white person to the palest Egyptian, from thence to the fairest Mustee, Molatto, Moor, &c. to the darkest Indian."
      -- J. Mitchell, "Philosophical Transactions," 1744-5, vol. 43, p. 122. Royal Society.
      Also, someone like Napoleon Bonaparte has been described as both swarthy and pale, which clearly implies that his skin color is changing depending on his environment.
      A description of Napoleon by Doctor Corvisart in 1802:
      His skin was smooth and his complexion PALE, but of a pallor which denoted a good circulation of blood. His very fine chestnut hair, which, until the time of the expedition to Egypt, he had worn long, cut square and covering his ears, was clipped short. The air was thin on the upper part of the head, and left bare his forehead.
      And Dennis Davidov's description (from his Memoirs) of Napoleon at Tilsit in 1807:
      I had supposed that Napoleon sported a rather large hooked nose, dark eyes and dark hair- in a word, the true Italian facial type. In fact, his face was slightly SWARTHY, with regular features. His nose was not very large, but straight, with a very slight, hardly noticeable bend. The hair on his head was not black, but dark reddish-blond; his eyebrows and eyelashes were much darker than the colour of his hair, and his blue eyes, set off by the almost black lashes, gave him a most pleasing expression.

      ​@Raven.x01 sorry for the late reply, I just saw this. Here are my thoughts:
      Please cite your 1572 resource, as i am unable to find it and i would like to read further.
      Regarding your quote by J Mitchell, he was one of the earliest anthropologists arguing the pseudo theory of the Mediterranean race (or Hamitic race theory) where people who were phenotypically black were considered a part of the 'white race'. He was not talking about tanned white people here, he was talking about black or mixed people who were situated along the meditteranean or Egypt and therefore he included them in the white race.
      This does not provide evidence that the word was used to describe pale skinned Europeans. I havent been able to locate the quote you made, but i found this quote:
      “The Moors in Africa, who are of a swarthy complexion, are descended from the same stock with the Spaniards and Portuguese, and are undoubtedly white people by descent, though they are become blackish by a long residence in the sultry climates of Africa.”
      Proving he had a defunct persepctive that black (swarthy) moors were part of the 'white race', but clearly differentiated them frkm spaniards and portugese, even back then. His defintion is not legitimate or objective.
      Also your description of Napoleon of being 'slightly swarthy' proves nothing since the prefix of 'slightly' renders clearly its purpose to describe him as being a very little bit. You could equally describe a brown skinned black person as 'slightly pale' but im sure you would not argue the use of the word pale makes them white?

How did things change so drastically? Also who is responsible for our historical erasure, how much of history was changed, and when did the erasure begin? How were we viewed in the past before anti-black narratives, and what is the nature in which people of different races engaged with each other?

    4:50 let’s set aside for a moment the subject of the ethnicity and consider this statement shortly before the timestamp.
    Listen to all of the structure of the legal statements, proclamation, that feel identical to what you hear in the modern world.
    School has robbed us of this understanding and this education would be crucial for us to understand how our world works today because it seems to work in exactly the same way as it did back in 1685
    That would give us insights on how throughout generations we deal with a corrupt world. How we also can learn that black skinned humans have been living amongst Europeans, integrated into their society, whether as significant populations or a few, both cases integrated into the elite class as well as the under class , for centuries. Even millennia.
    What if we across the planet had that understanding of this complex relationship that history literally falsifies in order to simplify a narrative of Black people exclusively came from Africa and only were forcibly removed from the continent due to European discovery/enslavers

      12:57 I have a separate conjecture as to why many of these portraits show these white washed historical figures exclusively with symbolism of Africoid people.
      The paintings are codes to inform those who know how to translate these hidden codes that tell those who know how to translate that that these people were indeed black skinned humans
      When we look at the queen having the dwarf black figure around her in art, when we have this monarch with his alleged daughter shown that way in portrait and art, it is symbolism that is prominent throughout all the figures that we would investigate and suspect that they were actually black skinned .

      This is the practice of taking the letters of our alphabet and attribute a number value to them.
      The system has many versions of this (a = 1 or a = 26, for example)
      Depending on decipher, the letters will add up to different numbers
      The system works when numbers of one name as up to the numbers of a different name, phrase or word. That gives the relationship.

    • @____2080_____
      @____2080_____ 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The relationship extends to even the names of people themselves.
      The phrase, King Louis XIV has Gematria values using the base ciphers of ordinal, reduction, reverse, ordinal, and reverse reduction of 172, 64, 152, 71
      Something of that name links to several things that’s interesting
      The word “Prince Hall” also equals 172. The phrase “the God Saturn” equals both 152 and 172. Saturn and mythology has always depicted as black.

    It sounds like the word “swarthy” could have derived directly from the word “soot”…”sooty”, referring to black dusty ashes. Perhaps with a particular accent, “sooty” might well have evolved into “swarthy.” Spanish speakers tend to pronounce words using the letter “t” with the “th” sound. The sound of a “w” seems to come out naturally when sounding the word “sooty/soothy” out completely. What are your thoughts?

    People must understand what was going on at the time of these portraits. Prior to chattel slavery being accepted and practiced around the world slavery. Slavery was part of world culture. Everyone was doing it. The movie Spartacus was about a real European slave. Europeans enslaving each other, Asians each other and so on and so on. Everyone was enslaving each other. You could be a slave one day and the next married to a royal or be the head of an army. So to see a black person in the royal house and mixing among the royals was common. It wasn’t until the enlightenment period that this all changed and the character assassination of the African started with the thinkers of this time(great philosopher’s across Europe) The push for African only chattel slavery started with the so called great philosophers of the time pushed propaganda that Africans were inferior people to justify slavery and colonialism. So with time the African person was no longer seen as people but child like humans who were inferior and needed European guidance to navigate their very existence.

    I really tried to take this video seriously. But I cannot. It’s fascinating to me how far some will go with conspiracy theories to try to support such a far-fetched claim. You seem to disregard all the evidence we have, like:
    1. Numerous legitimate portraits of King Louis’s children: These images are available for us to see and provide clear historical documentation.
    2. Thousands-if not millions-of people who saw King Louis in person: Are we really supposed to believe that every one of them, including those who both hated and loved him, all somehow agreed to lie about his race? It's hard to believe that such a widespread consensus could exist without any contradiction.
    3. Louis’s parents: We know they were not Black, and their family history doesn't support the idea that he would have been either.
    4. Historical context: If you knew anything about European history, you'd know that the Habsburg family, to which Louis partially belonged, is infamous for being one of the most inbred royal families in Europe. The distinctive features of a prominent "Habsburg jaw" and a hanging lip or big nose (which does not mean "wide" just long) are the result of this inbreeding. Just look at their portraits-it’s all right there. This is a historical fact.
    5. The term "Swarty": The word "swarty" means "dark, darker" and was used in the same way Europeans would say nowadays "tall, dark, and handsome." It didn't refer to Black people, but rather to those with dark hair (and sometimes olive-toned skin - swartier complexion, especially for an ENGLISH Royal person that spent all of their life in the shade), like the members of the House of Bourbon. If you look closely at their portraits, you'll see that they almost all had black hair.
    6. Modern-day Bourbon descendants: If you look at any of the current descendants of the Bourbon family, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. They do not resemble Black people in any way. However, they do still have that "swarty" look-meaning, yes, they still have dark hair!
    The historical evidence is overwhelming, and while it’s fine to question things, it’s important to base those questions on facts, not on conspiracy theories.

Also regarding your claim about eye witness accounts, I believe that's what I used, eye wtiness accounts contemporaneous ones, not present day conjecture. Also your definition of swarthy is a revision, i cited contemporaneous dictionary sources and they equate the term with LITERAL dark skin, not tan or dark hair, there is no contemporary source for such a claim. I don't doubt this video will be a leap too far for most, however, you'll need to raise more compelling evidence to refute it. I would broadly accept contemporaneous confirmation of the definition of swarthy meaning dark haired and NOT black, which by the way, it has retained its meaning in German (schwarz), and Belgian (svart) among others.

The original poster seems to be overlooking the cultural nuances in Europe and misunderstanding the definition of key terms. If they were a native European, they would have a different perspective based on lived experience. "Dark" doesn’t automatically equate to "black," and historically, Europeans didn't perceive themselves as being the same across the continent. For example, in the UK, many people identified themselves as "white" but would not necessarily apply that label to individuals from Southern or Eastern Europe. Because those people as I stated in the quote above would be considered "darker".
      As for the evidence presented in the video, it seems to be based more on speculation than on any verifiable facts. There's nothing substantial to refute, and the claims made don’t provide any solid counterpoints to what I’ve said here. To anyone who has studied history, this is an offense to serious research and academic inquiry.
      Regarding the claim about the King of France, if you believe that millions of people somehow suppressed the fact that he was black, despite his parents and children not being so, then I fear you may be deluding yourself. And to argue that a human physical trait, like a "hanging lower lip," is evidence of African ancestry is not only misguided, but it also shows a lack of critical thinking. Frankly, it’s hard to engage with such simplistic arguments.
      I am gonna leave you again with the quote from one and only Benjamin Franklin (since my last comment has been deleted or misplaced). "Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.

    I have trouble squaring this with the major role France played in the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. I'd assume that just as was the case in Africa, there wasn't a pan-African black identity through which France's control of the slave colony of Haiti would sit well with monarchs of partial or full African descent. But then again I remember Obama (and VP Harris) and it makes sense. Still, I wonder how the French themselves would have perceived any of this. Racism was definately under construction during this time period so were they able to distinguish at that time between African slaves and African nobility? Also, what would be the origin of these people. It would undoubtedly have to be a region where the French were engaging directly with Africans i.e. Senegal. If so, are there records or traces of African nobility moving to France at that time, as is already the case for Kongo and Portugal and the Natherlands? My mind is spinning here but your video is solid, it just leaves me with a bit more questions than answers. Thanks King for an informative session.
