"The trouble which a lady of your station takes to purposely come here in order to tell me that I am not a daughter of the king, persuades me that I am" - Bars 🔥🔥
@missqt48 In my experience, having gone to school with people from RSA. It is almost exactly like Dutch, but they don't conjugate verbs that much. And maybe some definitions are different here and there.
"Blacks" are the original people of the planet, so how is the language derived from cultures not here first? Science bares out that you can't get "Black" from "white" but all colors can derive from "Black", which is the presence of all colors. Much was taught to the "Caucasians" by the "Africans" barring weapons for killing
If you're in the US, it's easier to learn outside of a classroom. I realized early in life that I couldn't get a decent education in our failed system. So I became autodidactic. Now in my 60s, learning has become a way of life. I turned down a high school diploma because to me, it doesn't stand for anything. Any fool can get one.
Racists are truly fearful people. They fear people of color, and the truth. Everything that speaks of their NOT being superior...and that's a lot of things.
The evidence... 😂 What a laugh. People believed she was the king's daughter, they were many to believe so, so they must be right. But supposing, even for a moment, that king Louis the XIVth, his queen, or both were black is just some Wakanda type of fiction. But the anecdote around 08:40 ... if someone comes to debunk her, that means she's right to believe she's actually so? Alright. And if @kaprooki thinks this is all 100 % true, then it is true? The wishful-thinking of despair. And that is the fact.
Of course. It’s a programming to make the false white supremacy work. It’s all bullshit. A way to cope and alter history in order to feel better. Only weak minded people do such things
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..
@mkay3751 I am not just talking about the Moors but also the great Kingdoms of Benin and Mali and all the Kingdoms of the Arabian Nights. Racism was generally directed against the Jews probably on account of their lack of a kingdom and nobility.
You really went in with this one. Probably one of your best works. Concise, well-edited, engages the prevailing narrative well, well written script. 10/10 Stay on the so called black presence in Europe. Easily the most hidden, whitewashed aspect of modern History imo.
@ well the video showed that the eye witness accounts conflict with the portraits otherwise there would be no contention “Viking Male”. If the eyewitness accounts stated he was pale, “fair”, light skinned etc it would be congruent with the portraits. I’m mad about how people who look like me have low self esteem because your elites whitewashed our history.
Why would you tell of a 3 Feet man playing under a Kings wife dress? Then tell the people The 3ft man gave a baby to the queen for him because he didn't want to have sex with the queen. 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. That's all you saying. Stop playing with these people. But that's for the wig. Nice wig afro wig
@@bluemanvisions people who look like you don't have low-self esteem. It is you who has low self-esteem when you claim to be related to a certain French monarch.
@ 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. But I can tell you’re simple and this type of thing is too elaborate for you to grasp. Again, either refute the claims made in the video or keep it moving woodwose.

Critical thinking is a skill. It reveals to the thinking person that socalled nonblack people could not have appeared anywhere on the planet before Black people and therefore can make no claim to a European heritage.

@ it’s very on point. White people are the minority globally, and furthermore the information that proves this to be a fact was documented in this video so…
@ I don’t know but they certainly got about after 700 years lol you think they decided they wouldn’t interact with the rest of Europe and broker deals and marriages ?? Just becuse they try and erase or modify history doesn’t mean we can’t see it. A prime example is Sicily and even more so Malta with their Arab history and language that remains and try and erase ( Maltese )
Dont forget Europeans did not bath themselves in the 17th-18th centuries and were dealing with all types of diseases as well, It's not hard to imagine they would prefer their own Moorish women.
Svart means black in all Scandinavian languages such as Swedish, Norwegian and danish. Swarthy is just the German version. Old English comes from Germanic languages. We all know this. They can’t change a old definition in modern times
@WaaAniga-p4x etymology of black from the American Dictionary of the English language by Noah Webster unabridged 1828. Swedish. black=blek,pale, wan, livid ; bleck,ink; bleka, to insolate, to expose to the sun or to bleach; also to lighten, to flash; Ducth. black= bleek,pale; bleeken, to bleach; German. black= bleich, pale, wan, bleak; bleichen, to bleach; Danish. black = blaek, ink; bleeg, pale, wan, bleak, sallow; bleeger, to bleach.

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. S. Henley, translation of W. Beckford, Arabian Tale 62
@@bigcoop3717 um, you can google it for yourself, or spend thousands of hours studying French and English history as I have, or you can just rely on a guy in a video telling you what you want to hear. Up to you, I don't have more time to waste.
FALSE. There is no such thing as a "Black" phenotype. And beyond that, no such thing as "Race" whatsoever. Swarthy meant Dark Melanated skin. Various shadss of BROWN. Darkest to lightest pigmest shades.
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.
I’m looking forwards to you speaking about the rich history of black nobility in Germany and Russia next. Gannibal and his grandson Pushkin in particular.
I was always suspicious about this Louis just because of the hair because I'd never seen a pure caucasian with hair like that. I also realize that they changed the actual pictures of bronze European Nobles!! Probably all of them!!
I think I read or saw some place that's purportedly there is a great-great-grandson or some other relative of pushkin's that is actually still around in Russia to this day.
And now, the Black Nobility... of Prussia and Germany? The one family of the sort we have is the Sabac El-Cher family. One could spin a yarn about this, and try to call them a general rule, but that would still be a fanciful tale.
The book “TRUE MYTH: BLACK VIKINGS OF THE MIDDLE AGES” by Nashid Al-Amin is a great read that gives a lot of context to the presence of Black or melanated peoples throughout Europe and the world, from Ancient times through the middle ages.

They use genetic testing often times as a Jedi mind trick to essentially nullify all the other forms of evidence. You could have eye witness accounts, coins, statues etc depicting a figure as “negro” but because the DNA says he was of a haplogroup that so called whites belong to, he couldn’t have been black and so we should just ignore everything else. They then base their reconstructions on their shoddy DNA testing and proclaim that’s what the person would have actually looked like.
@Eye-ElqThat’s not how it works though 😂 West-Central Africans, Khoisans and Pygmys, Nilotic and Cushite speakers still plot in a big group closer to each other than Europeans.
@@bruhvibes5941 actually he is correct to a certain level although he is sighting controversial studies. It is true that “European genetics” are found in natives of West Africa. 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. Why I would like genetic testing is if he was a moor we might be able to find out in his genetics, and if not at least gain some insight into it.
@@JtUziPup It’s not European, it’s Eurasian. And most of the groups with relation to other races are most likely groups with significant Eurasian ancestry. Anyway the Continent has genetic diversity to a certain extent. Bantu speakers have a large population and lack the genetic diversity that a Khoi-Khoi or Nilote speaker may have.

Very well done. First time on your channel. Hidden in plain sight. What else might we see if we continue to look with intention and an open mind? Those wigs make so much sense in this light. They have been cosplaying for such a long time. Reminds me of those portraits recreated to show less melanated American Indian chiefs; copper colored they should be, ie. swarthy.
Literally almost all photos and portraits show Native Americans (or American Indian) as "copper" coloured. You might want to check out what cooper colour is.
I wonder if there’s a connection between the Bourbons of Spain and the Moorish Berbers of Spain…..Pure speculation but the actual whiskey is dark brown in color and was named after the bourbon royal family, plus the pronunciation of Bourbon is similar to Berber(an) almost like designating a person from a ethnic or language group
If you are going that route "Buur Bi" in Senegalese dialect, Wolof, means The King and "Bon" will translate as bad... "Buur Bu Bon" would literally mean the Bad King. The etymology will be different according to the different cultures where you may find the word Burr. You have just opened a can of worms.
@@taharka Exactly!! And then when you add in the telephone game of etymology from Wolof to Arabic to Latin to French to English etc. it’s not a far off idea knowing how mispronunciations can formulate
Great video! Putting facts to rumors. I’d absolutely love for you to speak on the “swarthy” Jews documented by English, Portuguese, Spanish and French (maybe more) over past centuries. This is something I’ve only recently heard of.
The Colonial Dutch used 'Zwarte' to mean Black - Swarthy and Zwarte sound the same - could the English have borrowed this word from the Dutch who preceded them? - The Colonial Dutch called an African woman 'Zwarte Marie Evert' because she had Coffee skin -Marie Evert was a woman of Guinea descent who was also a Free Burgher(citizen of the Dutch controlled Cape Colony). She was one of the most successful farmers at the Dutch controlled Cape and built the first Vineyards - which resulted in the Wine Culture at CapeTown.
The word "Swarthy" was used in Colonial Jamaica by the Salves who may have misinterpreted it as being "Fat" (overweight). This word may have evolved which is understood by modern Jamaicans as a person who is Fat (overweight). Phase used are, " Yu Swarthy like!" Or "Yu Fat and Swarthy like!" Where would Black people hear this word, Swarthy? Just sharing. Thanks
@@paulawhyte7244The origin. Of that word undoubtedly refers to black as a color. But ofc, definitions and usage changes over time. But Zwart still means black as in color.

It was a hard pill to swallow but there were lots of black nobles in europe even royal houses, just read "Memoirs of the secret services of John Macky" you have descriptions of English and Scottish nobles in the early 1700's Edit: Obviously it wasn't just noble house. Also common folk, soldiers, weavers, farmers, butchers etc were dark skinned or black as we say today. Many famous historical characters that I though were white after reading their description in books turns out they were not white at all. Like Shakespeare for example, his grandfather was a Sephardic Jew from Holland that left Spain when the Moors and Jews were expelled.
While there was some Black nobility present they were the minority. Dark skin does not automatically equate to being black as many people have darker complexions and are not black.
Charles II Stuart, also nicknamed the Black boy for obvious reason was a direct cousin of Louis the XIV, and they were said to have a really strong resemblance
@@missqt48 But we've called Olive skinned people olive for centuries ! It doesn't mean someo e with black skin! My late Mum and her Mum had olive skin and in summer would go very dark indeed. But neither were people of colour. As alittle girl Mum was bullied at school by pupils who said her dad was a black man. It stopped when my Grandad came to collect her from school! We have Italian in my Mum's Mum's family who settled down in the East End of London in 18th century and means ma y of the family have olive skin. There are brownish olives from the Mediterranean you can get , delicious.
@@JaneEasterbrook-bn3ux Stop the lies! Olive as a description was quite modern, nothing ancient about olive used to describe complexion. Olive is tan, it is also directly used to describe those with dark features (Caucasians with dark eyes, hair etc), NOT necessarily with dark skin. Those are the modern interpretations, from your people. If it meant those that are tan/ brown, we would hear it used to describe Arabs, Mexicans, Filipino, Cambodian, Nepalese etc. all brown/ tanned people. So what’s your point? You can’t use modern terminology to describe ancient scripts.
@@missqt48 Oh, I get it now. Woke crap . I have many friends & neighbours of all colours and creeds and none of them have ever said a thing when I describe my Mum etc. God, your education is so woke it's crap. You're e on about White privilege crap next.There have been many underprivileged white people all through history. My late, widowed Mum and I were so poor we had to sell our possessions for food so our benefit money could pay our utility bills and we had no phone. I have in the recent past lived on food parcels from the local church or starved. My Mum's Mum was a cleaner, my Grandad a clerk etc. One of great grandfathers was a shale miner and died young of heart and lung problems. Sometimes we did OK, mostly not. To be white does not mean automatic privilege.
No they weren't, unless they were actuallt swarthy. Only modern brits have attempted to appropriate the meaning of this word. Same as Olive and Brunette.
@@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?
@artstation707 it's obvious you're lonely and you need attention, I'll oblige you briefly, if you have contrary information,take the time, expertise and resources this man has invested to come up with an equally concise , thoroughly researched piece of work, instead of coming here with no context no counter argument??

@@ezenwonsirim2620 It's basic common sense. Why would anyone settle in parched Africa when fertile Europe is available? Before you try to tell me about contemporary climates, scripture (recording events thousands of years ago) tells us that the lands south of Palestine (with the exception of the Nile Delta) were parched desert wasteland. Some of the oldest Greek mythology confirms that Europe was filled with Melanoi (blacks) and golden apples (fertile land). Europe, not Africa, is the black homeland.
@@handlenumber707Bro SCIENTIFICALLY and so far archeologically Ethiopia is the cradle of human origins and civilization with the greatest genetic diversity. Just research Mitochondrial Eve.
The word swarthy, swarth or as in old publications spelled "fwarth" is also found in one of the earliest English dictionaries ever. It's called; A Table Alphabeticall (1617, 3rd edition) and it states; fwarth - to darken, blackify.
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. s some claim
@Darthi9 all of these arguments are missing the premise of the video, suggesting that the modern sources of portraiture have been subject to manipulation. 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. Thanks for your contribution though.
@Darthi9 yes I'm very familiar with this quote. It's 300 years old. I think it's subject to hyperbole, but have you considered he was being somewhat literal about those populations, as wild as it may seem?
@@TinaBrown1019 There isn't much more to add here. His comments did not add any additional insight to his claim and did not refute any of the points I have brought up above. 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. "
Amazing! Information is presented fairly and in a beautifully orderly way. Any true intellectual has to be compelled to at least consider its validity and plain truth.

This has so many implications. If it was feasible for a black, dark skinned man to be a king of France during the 1600s, and for his descendants to retain their royal status, and the common people of the era accepted these monarchs casually then when & how did anti-black racism really start? 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?
Unfortunately those who started to enslave africans were this black nobility, henry the 4th was one of them, that matches with slave trade datation's but during the time (16,17s) things have shifted, white europeans reversed the black nobility and tried to erase them from history by taking advantage of the trade and sent part of them in islands.

This is exceptional detective work! You have proved beyond all reasonable doubt that the Sun King was black. All the evidence fall neatly into place like pieces of a puzzle. Incredible. You are a rare blessing to true historians. On a side note, I had watched a video on RUclips some months back, I think it was "The Black Excellence and Abundance Channel" or something like that, in which William Shakespeare was described as being swarthy. Really didn't think much of it at that time. But this video has really got me thinking. I am not one to do video requests but can you possibly do one on Shakespeare? If indeed he was black that would cause quite a ripple in the literary world. Because he has always being depicted as white.
His bust in Stratford Upon Avon which was commissioned by him and made by a friend after his death depicted him as a so called black man. It was whitewashed in the 1700s and then “recoloured” in the Victorian era, meaning it was probably darker than what it looks like today and proof that many of these figures likeness has been changed. He was also called an “upstart crow” by one of his contemporaries which was a derogatory term for dark skinned so called blacks of low birth. In the Chandos portrait which also has been incrementally “restored”/altered, he’s depicted wearing a gold hoop earring which is a giveaway for those in the know and with dark Afro hair. He was a so called black man.
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.
Look at how flashy the French style used to be with those huge hats, the capes, those slim fitted coats with the scarves and not to mention the gold and diamonds everywhere and them palaces with the chandeliers, they were extra af just like so called black people today lol😂😂😂common sense
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?
@@christopherm202dcfinest2 I was simply making an observation that makes good sense. I worked in a library for many years and I’ve seen how really old good books get destroyed or get taken from public availability. I spent years during and after high school working behind the desks and down in the stacks with access to books no one else had immediate access to. After having been exposed to actual material books, I am careful not to put my final trust in certain online sources when it comes to information that can be considered “controversial”, especially if it is controlled by google. So I will not refrain from speculation when it comes to contentions regarding Western interpretations of history; at least until I can get more satisfactory answers.
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.
Also this king and his wife were double first cousins so if she were the illegitimate of either of them it's possible she looked like both because they were damn near siblings.
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.
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.
Words that equals 64 similar to the phrase, King Louis XIV Pigmeat Markham, Harriet Davis, Coptic Church, Cristobal Colon, November Second. The phrase, “November Two” = 152
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.

Original Dutch from Doggerland were dark-skinned, research finds : In findings sure to dismay white Dutch nationalists, a new international survey into the genetic make-up of early Europeans shows that the first Netherlanders were dark-skinned rather than white and blonde - though they often had striking blue eyes. “Our Dutch ancestors have always been portrayed as butch, white types. But that’s not what they looked like at all. They were dark-skinned”, says Eveline Altena, an archaeologist specialising in “ancient DNA” at Leiden University Medical Centre. The evidence relating to the first indigenous Dutch comes primarily from DNA from eight pieces of human bone picked up off the North Sea coast by volunteers or discovered in fishermen’s nets. The findings were supported by a recent exhibition at Leiden’s Rijksmuseum of Antiquities which for the first time portrayed the people of Doggerland - effectively an ancient land bridge that connected continental Europe to Britain - as black.
You're talking about the western hunter-gatherer population there who are not related to the Dutch. The Dutch are a Germanic people who descended from Proto-Indo Europeans who migrated into Europe.

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..
They were not Africans.
@handlenumber707 contemporary accounts from Europeans of that time say otherwise.
If you're going to talk about the moors. How about telling the full truth, else leave it.
@mkay3751 I am not just talking about the Moors but also the great Kingdoms of Benin and Mali and all the Kingdoms of the Arabian Nights. Racism was generally directed against the Jews probably on account of their lack of a kingdom and nobility.

Why would you tell of a 3 Feet man playing under a Kings wife dress? Then tell the people The 3ft man gave a baby to the queen for him because he didn't want to have sex with the queen. 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. That's all you saying. Stop playing with these people. But that's for the wig. Nice wig afro wig

@ 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 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.
There’s no sun in Europe….how can you tan?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@bigcoop3717 do u really think it is just winter in europe all year round?
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.

Swarthy just means dark. As black people are dark it applies to them too but not everyone called swarthy would be phenotypically black.
FALSE. There is no such thing as a "Black" phenotype. And beyond that, no such thing as "Race" whatsoever. Swarthy meant Dark Melanated skin. Various shadss of BROWN. Darkest to lightest pigmest shades.
Swarthy and Tawny means black during times. You should also add Brunette during 1800's dictionary! Thank you King!
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.

I really want genetic testing of the actual body to see if we are right
They use genetic testing often times as a Jedi mind trick to essentially nullify all the other forms of evidence. You could have eye witness accounts, coins, statues etc depicting a figure as “negro” but because the DNA says he was of a haplogroup that so called whites belong to, he couldn’t have been black and so we should just ignore everything else.
They then base their reconstructions on their shoddy DNA testing and proclaim that’s what the person would have actually looked like.

@@bruhvibes5941 actually he is correct to a certain level although he is sighting controversial studies. It is true that “European genetics” are found in natives of West Africa. 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.

@@JtUziPup It’s not European, it’s Eurasian. And most of the groups with relation to other races are most likely groups with significant Eurasian ancestry.

What else might we see if we continue to look with intention and an open mind?
Those wigs make so much sense in this light. They have been cosplaying for such a long time.
Reminds me of those portraits recreated to show less melanated American Indian chiefs; copper colored they should be, ie. swarthy.
Literally almost all photos and portraits show Native Americans (or American Indian) as "copper" coloured. You might want to check out what cooper colour is.

I wonder if there’s a connection between the Bourbons of Spain and the Moorish Berbers of Spain…..Pure speculation but the actual whiskey is dark brown in color and was named after the bourbon royal family, plus the pronunciation of Bourbon is similar to Berber(an) almost like designating a person from a ethnic or language group
Amazigh aren’t even dark, they’re pretty fair.
If you are going that route "Buur Bi" in Senegalese dialect, Wolof, means The King and "Bon" will translate as bad... "Buur Bu Bon" would literally mean the Bad King. The etymology will be different according to the different cultures where you may find the word Burr. You have just opened a can of worms.
@@taharka Exactly!! And then when you add in the telephone game of etymology from Wolof to Arabic to Latin to French to English etc. it’s not a far off idea knowing how mispronunciations can formulate
This channel and its viewers cracks me up 😂
Fascinating and eye opening! Thank you!
Great video! Putting facts to rumors. I’d absolutely love for you to speak on the “swarthy” Jews documented by English, Portuguese, Spanish and French (maybe more) over past centuries. This is something I’ve only recently heard of.
The Colonial Dutch used 'Zwarte' to mean Black - Swarthy and Zwarte sound the same - could the English have borrowed this word from the Dutch who preceded them? - The Colonial Dutch called an African woman 'Zwarte Marie Evert' because she had Coffee skin -Marie Evert was a woman of Guinea descent who was also a Free Burgher(citizen of the Dutch controlled Cape Colony). She was one of the most successful farmers at the Dutch controlled Cape and built the first Vineyards - which resulted in the Wine Culture at CapeTown.
The word "Swarthy" was used in Colonial Jamaica by the Salves who may have misinterpreted it as being "Fat" (overweight).
This word may have evolved which is understood by modern Jamaicans as a person who is Fat (overweight).
Phase used are, " Yu Swarthy like!"
Or
"Yu Fat and Swarthy like!"
Where would Black people hear this word, Swarthy?
Just sharing.
Thanks
English is a Germanic language and contains some words derived from German.
@@paulawhyte7244The origin. Of that word undoubtedly refers to black as a color. But ofc, definitions and usage changes over time. But Zwart still means black as in color.
@@Taurean_SAMA Black is not a color.

Beautiful analysis 😊
The truth is surrounded by a bodyguard of lies.
Europeans have been toying with history since the romans
Hi King, I am here and ready, but also working!
It was a hard pill to swallow but there were lots of black nobles in europe even royal houses, just read "Memoirs of the secret services of John Macky" you have descriptions of English and Scottish nobles in the early 1700's
Edit: Obviously it wasn't just noble house. Also common folk, soldiers, weavers, farmers, butchers etc were dark skinned or black as we say today. Many famous historical characters that I though were white after reading their description in books turns out they were not white at all. Like Shakespeare for example, his grandfather was a Sephardic Jew from Holland that left Spain when the Moors and Jews were expelled.
@@vegapunk100 Where did you get that from? Load of crap.
While there was some Black nobility present they were the minority.
Dark skin does not automatically equate to being black as many people have darker complexions and are not black.
@@LordandsaverGarryBuecy
Then wth were they?
Charles II Stuart, also nicknamed the Black boy for obvious reason was a direct cousin of Louis the XIV, and they were said to have a really strong resemblance
Yes, it's the Italian looks of their grandmother Marie de Medici. SWARTHY IN 16TH CENTURY, FOR EXAMPLE , MEANT OLIVE SKIN.
@@JaneEasterbrook-bn3ux Olives are green and black. Can we use proper terminology when describing literature FACTS.
@@missqt48 But we've called Olive skinned people olive for centuries ! It doesn't mean someo e with black skin! My late Mum and her Mum had olive skin and in summer would go very dark indeed. But neither were people of colour. As alittle girl Mum was bullied at school by pupils who said her dad was a black man. It stopped when my Grandad came to collect her from school! We have Italian in my Mum's Mum's family who settled down in the East End of London in 18th century and means ma y of the family have olive skin. There are brownish olives from the Mediterranean you can get , delicious.
@@JaneEasterbrook-bn3ux Stop the lies! Olive as a description was quite modern, nothing ancient about olive used to describe complexion. Olive is tan, it is also directly used to describe those with dark features (Caucasians with dark eyes, hair etc), NOT necessarily with dark skin. Those are the modern interpretations, from your people. If it meant those that are tan/ brown, we would hear it used to describe Arabs, Mexicans, Filipino, Cambodian, Nepalese etc. all brown/ tanned people. So what’s your point? You can’t use modern terminology to describe ancient scripts.
@@missqt48 Oh, I get it now. Woke crap . I have many friends & neighbours of all colours and creeds and none of them have ever said a thing when I describe my Mum etc. God, your education is so woke it's crap. You're e on about White privilege crap next.There have been many underprivileged white people all through history. My late, widowed Mum and I were so poor we had to sell our possessions for food so our benefit money could pay our utility bills and we had no phone. I have in the recent past lived on food parcels from the local church or starved. My Mum's Mum was a cleaner, my Grandad a clerk etc. One of great grandfathers was a shale miner and died young of heart and lung problems. Sometimes we did OK, mostly not. To be white does not mean automatic privilege.
The English rural poor with their outdoor tan were also regarded as swarthy by the aristocracy.
No they weren't, unless they were actuallt swarthy. Only modern brits have attempted to appropriate the meaning of this word. Same as Olive and Brunette.
Actually if they were pale they were regarded as sanguine which meant reddish pink
@@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.
@@TheeGemstone Thanks
@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?
When it comes to explanations about correct history, you're unmatched 🎉
I wouldn't say that. He keeps on pushing the out of Africa narrative. That's false.
@artstation707 it's obvious you're lonely and you need attention, I'll oblige you briefly, if you have contrary information,take the time, expertise and resources this man has invested to come up with an equally concise , thoroughly researched piece of work, instead of coming here with no context no counter argument?? Please rest .
@@ezenwonsirim2620 Umm nope. I just feel the need to correct this falsehood whenever I hear it.
@@ezenwonsirim2620 It's basic common sense. Why would anyone settle in parched Africa when fertile Europe is available? Before you try to tell me about contemporary climates, scripture (recording events thousands of years ago) tells us that the lands south of Palestine (with the exception of the Nile Delta) were parched desert wasteland. Some of the oldest Greek mythology confirms that Europe was filled with Melanoi (blacks) and golden apples (fertile land). Europe, not Africa, is the black homeland.
@@handlenumber707Bro SCIENTIFICALLY and so far archeologically Ethiopia is the cradle of human origins and civilization with the greatest genetic diversity. Just research Mitochondrial Eve.
The word swarthy, swarth or as in old publications spelled "fwarth" is also found in one of the earliest English dictionaries ever. It's called; A Table Alphabeticall (1617, 3rd edition) and it states; fwarth - to darken, blackify.

Excellent presentation 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Many indirect suggestions.
Leaving the viewer to excerise due diligence, as one should do.
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.
s some claim
@Darthi9 all of these arguments are missing the premise of the video, suggesting that the modern sources of portraiture have been subject to manipulation. 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.
Thanks for your contribution though.
@Darthi9 yes I'm very familiar with this quote. It's 300 years old. I think it's subject to hyperbole, but have you considered he was being somewhat literal about those populations, as wild as it may seem?
@@kingmono Yeah, it's retained it's meaning in Germany. Their idea of "Der Schwarze" is Ulf Kirsten.
@Darthi9 What, no response Mr. Smarty Pants? 🤣😂🤭
@@TinaBrown1019 There isn't much more to add here. His comments did not add any additional insight to his claim and did not refute any of the points I have brought up above. 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. "
They use to wear big wigs, that wasn't their hair.

Amazing! Information is presented fairly and in a beautifully orderly way. Any true intellectual has to be compelled to at least consider its validity and plain truth.
Except for the Out of Africa part.

Interesting the mention geographically they were in Moray…. Mentatron will obviously say that the name has nothing to do with Moor or black.
This has so many implications. If it was feasible for a black, dark skinned man to be a king of France during the 1600s, and for his descendants to retain their royal status, and the common people of the era accepted these monarchs casually then when & how did anti-black racism really start? 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?
Race war in Europe, reconstruction in 1700's. Millions of Human remains of melanated inhabitants, currently on display, in European catacoombs.
That or it’s a totally wrong interpretation !!!
Unfortunately those who started to enslave africans were this black nobility, henry the 4th was one of them, that matches with slave trade datation's but during the time (16,17s) things have shifted, white europeans reversed the black nobility and tried to erase them from history by taking advantage of the trade and sent part of them in islands.

On a side note, I had watched a video on RUclips some months back, I think it was "The Black Excellence and Abundance Channel" or something like that, in which William Shakespeare was described as being swarthy. Really didn't think much of it at that time. But this video has really got me thinking.
I am not one to do video requests but can you possibly do one on Shakespeare? If indeed he was black that would cause quite a ripple in the literary world. Because he has always being depicted as white.
I can certainly start to look into that.
His bust in Stratford Upon Avon which was commissioned by him and made by a friend after his death depicted him as a so called black man. It was whitewashed in the 1700s and then “recoloured” in the Victorian era, meaning it was probably darker than what it looks like today and proof that many of these figures likeness has been changed.
He was also called an “upstart crow” by one of his contemporaries which was a derogatory term for dark skinned so called blacks of low birth.
In the Chandos portrait which also has been incrementally “restored”/altered, he’s depicted wearing a gold hoop earring which is a giveaway for those in the know and with dark Afro hair. He was a so called black man.
@kingmono 🙏
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.
@@zeeqq105”white people who are actually of dark complexion” 🤣🤣🤣 the examples you listed aren’t dark.

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?
Just use google instead of speculating lol

@@christopherm202dcfinest2 I was simply making an observation that makes good sense. I worked in a library for many years and I’ve seen how really old good books get destroyed or get taken from public availability. I spent years during and after high school working behind the desks and down in the stacks with access to books no one else had immediate access to. After having been exposed to actual material books, I am careful not to put my final trust in certain online sources when it comes to information that can be considered “controversial”, especially if it is controlled by google. So I will not refrain from speculation when it comes to contentions regarding Western interpretations of history; at least until I can get more satisfactory answers.
Beautiful presentation!
The hair is a big giveaway
Those are wigs,not their own hair.
You're doing God's work, brother.
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.
Wrong most of these fake pictures were created after the civil war. There were no “slave ships from Africa”
Also this king and his wife were double first cousins so if she were the illegitimate of either of them it's possible she looked like both because they were damn near siblings.
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 .
Lastly, one of the aspects of decoding these old portraits is using the esoteric cop ballistic practice of GEMATRIA.
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.
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.
Words that equals 64 similar to the phrase, King Louis XIV
Pigmeat Markham, Harriet Davis, Coptic Church, Cristobal Colon, November Second.
The phrase, “November Two” = 152
A lot of art painted of us has been hidden and replaced with white face
Just because you believe that, doesn't make it true.
Excellent!!
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.

Original Dutch from Doggerland were dark-skinned, research finds :
In findings sure to dismay white Dutch nationalists, a new international survey into the genetic make-up of early Europeans shows that the first Netherlanders were dark-skinned rather than white and blonde - though they often had striking blue eyes.
“Our Dutch ancestors have always been portrayed as butch, white types. But that’s not what they looked like at all. They were dark-skinned”, says Eveline Altena, an archaeologist specialising in “ancient DNA” at Leiden University Medical Centre.
The evidence relating to the first indigenous Dutch comes primarily from DNA from eight pieces of human bone picked up off the North Sea coast by volunteers or discovered in fishermen’s nets.
The findings were supported by a recent exhibition at Leiden’s Rijksmuseum of Antiquities which for the first time portrayed the people of Doggerland - effectively an ancient land bridge that connected continental Europe to Britain - as black.
You're talking about the western hunter-gatherer population there who are not related to the Dutch.
