Thanks for this, I can't afford a college education right now so I'm trying to educate myself

Just wanted to say, this kinds of videos rarely get the attention they deserve, but thank you for putting all this quality context out there for everyone.

The same people who staunchly defend changes in movie/TV content to conform with social engineering goals were the first to decry shows like "Father Knows Best" as being racist and homophobic.

Let's team up Doctor, I have some ancient images you need to see... subscribed to you

Anyone have a source on the historical queens mentioned here? It's hard to look stuff up if you don't know the spelling.

If your interested, there is also a famous Portuguese knight from the 1500's called João de Sá (aka Panasco). There is even a painting called Chafariz d'El Rey where.he appears, with two black apprentices

Thank you for this much needed educational knowledge. It is written in other literature that the church has a lot to do with the erasure of Africans historical connections to Europe that dates thousands of years. The church is to blame for the ignorance and hatred of Blacks around the world. Most of these stories depicted the Blacks as heroes and doers of good around the world, while the white European leaders only wanted to conquer and kill, it is unfortunate but the truth can't be buried forever, it always rise again to the surface. The nay sayers of truth are just those who fear truth because of their own insecurities.

Data is just the plural of fact

This was like my professor making a whole class about bullshit.

so many levels of irony

This was very informative, thank you.

im just catching some of these. i hope you're still doing these!!!

Another historical figure whose ethnicity that still a point of contention is the African born Roman emperor Lucius Septimus Severus who some claim was black, other claim he was arab looking and others claim he was white.

48:43 I always look at people as being extremely delusional when they say these things considering you have so called black people in Australia, the Solomon Islands, India, etc Literally all over the world. Great distances away from Africa, but there couldn't be any black people in Europe?

This was VERY informative! Thank you so much for sharing.

WAS the Black knight a Person of history

I love your lectures. Thank you.

Great video Dr. Luttrell. When is part 2 coming out? (Subscribed)

well done research and keep up the good work , subscribed

I kove your content and appreciate your knowledge and the fact that you are sharing it here. But you just don't get it here. At all. Imagine the Black Panther reboot stars Chris Pratt Nd Wakanda is moved to Ireland and peopled with red haired freckled white people. It's perfectly ok because it's a made up country in a fictional universe, right? I would have LOVED a female Dr. Who right after, say, Tom Baker's run ended. That would have been creative and interesting, not predictable and safe like today. The fact is that it's not having Black Romans or other diverse characters that upset more thoughtful people. It's that when they take up more characters it reduces the number of characters of European origin in depictions of European history. Did we need 5 main characters in "Woman King" to be whites who were somehow raised in the tribe? The hypocrisy combined with clear signaling of unpopular political affiliations are the problem, not the presence of non whites. Btw, Morgan Freeman's character Azeem was my favorite character in Prince of Theives growing up. We all wanted to play as him! That's an example of doing this kind of thing right and respectfully to native cultures, including European ones. Not replacing Little John or Friar Tuck but adding a plausible character and making him compelling.

Fantastic ❤❤❤❤❤

So, blacks played a larger role in horsemanship before western civilization? Please provide good books for reading.

This looks so good thank youu❤❤

So many historians live to keep black people as flesh eating savages. Think of it why are so many people shock to see black people in the ancient or medieval world if they are not slaves. Notice how these people are silent when white people are depicted as black people. I've even heard historic people describe as black and professors say its not colour but their personality. I've heard black saints been described as originally white if not for the smoke of candles. It's racism pure racism.

I've read that King Arthur himself was a jet black Moor.....

I think you're just obviously wrong about PJW's motivation and your interpretation is way off. If you saw a trailer of a remake of "Menace to Society", starring no black people, you might call that ridiculous. It's literally the exact same impulse. It really doesn't make sense to me to add anymore motivation than that.

I would expect together with Aeschylus to include Sophocles and Euripides. Aristophanes also should be part of the study. The Golden Ass by Apuleius also deserves to be in the syllabus (methinks)😁

Thanks for the video

Bravo! This is a really thorough explanation of the Toulmin model of argument.

How would reason work to justify our actions to others if it did not first evolve for us to understand the world. In other words what use would evolving to produce arguments be if nobody had already evolved to understand arguments?

Check out the lie of Saint Maurice is very good and also go look at all the black king in medieval crests specially German. But very good work with this, you trying to keep it real at least.🫡

The proper pronunciation today would be Morian (Like Dorian). He is a part of our Dutch cultural history in Pre-colonial times and came to be a sort of celebrated hero figure too before the colonial era repopularized more crusader-like ideologies concerning Moors/blacks and Muslims and these stories were en large shoved under the rug. The songs and stories would teach medieval children and adults about the Moors and morality towards them. There have been many Moors that have visited, lived and started families in the Netherlands throughout history. Since the Netherlands was historically a refuge for refugees of any sort, political, ethnic or religious. Moors came to over time not only signify black folks from the south but also signify the mixed black people that were a result of intermarriage and the likes (Like sir Morian). A famous portrait from one of our legendary painters Rembrandt is called "the Two Moors" and depicted two of Rembrandts neighbors at the time, obviously, they were black (1655). Fun fact: the European name Maurice also originates from the same thing, like Moriaen / Moriaan it was used as a name for those from often mixed families. And it meant "From Mauretania" which was roughly the area that is now Morocco and the Southern regions of it - a name already present in genealogical records of the Netherlands since the year 1100 AD and mentions even earlier in other forms.

Moors black

What are the chances I run into a video from TAMUCC? Going to TAMUK but I wanted to go to TAMUCC.

WITH manual subtitles, such an absolute legend

Tremendous Presentation!

!!!! So important. Can't tell you the amount of time I have been on Facebook and thought to myself, cite your sources--but not only that, make sure your sources are GOOD sources!

What about the 9 th legión of Rome,and by the way black is a color and not complexión

Be careful or people will say you're being "woke". Whatever that means.

Wow this video is amazing fam keep up the good work loving this information

And why hasn't national geographic hasn't covered this myth?

I never knew this never heard of it and I'm waiting to find out all I can about this Morris Black night 81 years old and I love history and I'm black

Thanks Eric. I enjoyed your explanation.

Unfortunately we have been indoctrinated with a Europcentruc view of the Classical World, Medevil Era, and Middle Ages... When in reality Indo-Europeans were and still are a global minority... presently only making up 8% of the global population... The first inhabitants of Eurasia and Iberian Pennisula were Africans Etruscans and Phoenicians who built the foundation of The Greco-Roman Emipire they were also known as Pelagians these were The original Proto-Europeans...They were Greco Roman Maurs... Vandals and Visgoth Barbarians would later become the Indo-European inhabitants of Greece and Rome and Iberian Pennisula in 406 AD.... However their rule was brief...In 711AD Marked what's known as the Reconquista 700 years of Moorish Rule of Spain and Europe....The Moors would be the Lannisters and Starks of that time period....While Anglo-Saxons were the peasants and surfs whom would later be given courtesy titles of Nobility in Albion( England and Great Britain.... around 1066 with The Norman Invasion These Norseman Danes and Vikings did not have paleskin which is depicted in modern day television and movies...The true intensities were: Recently discovered in a DNA study... newseu.cgtn.com/news/2020-09-19/Ground-breaking-DNA-study-busts-age-old-myths-about-Vikings-TRVHSkGVkk/index.html The Moors were in fact the Original Nobility of Europe out of German Aristocracy... A Moor named Hughes de Payen founded The Knights Templar along with 8 relatives who would later be the inspiration behind King Arthur and Knights of the round table.... As a Freemason myself...so many lies have been told by Modern day scholars, historians, and anthropologist The Truth is Unbelievable! see books: Stolen Legacy by George G.M James, Ancient and Modern Britons by David Mac Ritche, and Nature Knows No Colorline by J.A. Roger's, Black and British by David Olusoga

Not making a point about colour, but are you aware that Morien also appears in Y Gododdin? "Morien defended the fair song of Myrddin and laid the head of a chief in the earth" Trying to date anything from Y Gododdin is an absolute minefield, but use of Myrddin instead of Merlin means it is likely at least pre-galfridian, so presumably the first occurance. Imagine the romance writer just went looking for a name in old Welsh literature to reuse for his story.

since my family tree has many dynasties of Europe in it... i hardly doubt any of my knight grandfathers would train foreigner or even allow black man in..

Sir Feirefiz description sounds like he had Vitiligo.

This audio is terrible. Turned it off after 5 minutes.

regarding blackboard - this is the benefit of the autodictat - all the content, none of the grading - just boosting your SEO coach, thanks for teaching the old goat a thing or two

I’m going to listen to this again and do a deep dive. I am an artist and my friend gave me the Image of the Black in Western Art. There are so many interesting points you bring up. I’m Welsh on my mothers side and am interested in ancient Europe. Also, I’m very much interested in foregrounding this kind of dialogue in Europe and America. Africans had an important presence in European history. Interesting that you brought up Viktor Shklovsky. Keep up the good work!
