&qu...continuation of that excerpted reader review:<br /><br />"This book is eyeopening as it deals with the varying peoples that arrived and settled in the British Isles. The Black Danes, the Normans who were Black (some of them), The Moors, The Egyptians, The Gypsies, not forgetting the Black Picts and the Black or Blue Celtic tribes of Scotland and Ireland that were described as 'black as pitch', are just some of the people in which MacRichie explains in this volume.<br /><br />Its a great read although it is in two volumes, the original version of the 1880s was one whole volume. This book shows how the admixture became more common over time and space, and only the surnames or titles suggest a black presence to this country such as: Douglass (behold the Black Stranger) Black, Brown, Moor, Morris, Maurice, Morray, Murry, Duff, Blackmore and the list goes on. Even though many of us who have these surnames are now White, MacRichie tells us that we certainly would have had black ancestors that ruled this country and lost power due to two things. One being the process of miscegenation (race mixing) why we are now white today, and the other was the wars that came from the white barbaric tribes of these Islands to bring an end to Black hegemony on this Island and who according to MacRichie; controlled 7 provinces with organised government and allies to protect their territories which they established, before Robert The Bruce who himself was a descendant from these Black Celts. Even Prince Madoc and his subjects have a strong relationship to these 'Black Brits', Black Kenneth and the Galloway's will became an even more fascinating read.<br /><br />As for linguistics, it becomes alive in this version and you are able to trace quite accurately the Gaelic language which is brought to life, which for me i found really interesting because living in the UK as an Ethnic Minority, it was nice to see the pre or proto English languages used for recording past history before the arrival of the interlopers: Vikings, Normans and Germanic tribes who created England and used their language to record from their time period and onwards, by forgetting those previous languages that were spoken, on this island, which gave us the most ancient history of this island and its people.<br /><br />This is not a book for skim-reading or even speed-reading, but rather, its quite the opposite. It's for study-reading and slow-reading: to establish deep and meaningful contemplation and if you have not read Gerald Massey's or Godfrey Higgins' works, then it would be complementary to have in order to cross reference and to pinpoint the black origins of Briton. The book also makes clear that this information was quite common and recognised by layman and scholar until historical distortion prevailed to became the rule of the day, which is the reason why we are so ignorant of this country's past.<br /><br />Ancient and Modern Britons; is one of those books that is kept out of print to keep us ignorant and arrogant about our past. However, the resurrection of this great works is a must read for any white Xenophobe that wishes to become more enlightened about their own ancestry and history, and who wants to became a Xenophile at the very end which this book can achieve. If we are prepared to open our hearts and minds and allow the truth to manifest eventually the BMP and the EDL will have no choice but to read more and drink less. It is not the most easiest of reads, in my opinion, if you are unfamiliar with the field study and terminologies used throughout this volume, moreover reading it will certainly want you to grasp these concepts and understand the true nature of this Island. This is just volume one i can't wait to finish this volume to start Vol II A Retrospect."<br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-24266131903015152292017-11-19T10:03:00.059-05:002017-11-19T10:03:00.059-05:00Here's a lengthy excerpt from a reader's r...Here's a lengthy excerpt from a reader's review of that book which may help partly explain why a "a black man" was/is the chaser in the game "Who's Afraid Of The Black Man"/"Beware The Black Man".<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Modern-Britons-One/product-reviews/0939222108/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_paging_btm_next_2?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&pageNumber=2" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Modern-Britons-One/product-reviews/0939222108/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_paging_btm_next_2?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&pageNumber=2</a><br /><br /><i>Ancient and Modern Britons: Volume One</i> by David Mac Ritchie<br />"5.0 out of 5 starsA Classic which Britons should read before condemning immigration<br />ByMr. Abu-bakr K. M. Shabazzon December 30, 2013<br />[...]<br /><br />What makes this book worth having through time and space, is that when it was first published it was during the same year that the Berlin Conference in 1884-5 commenced, in order to divide and split Africa up into enclaves, by Europeans, for Europeans. The Scrabble for Africa; as it is traditionally called was under way and this is why this book is so important, as much historical distortion would be underway to falsify and distort human history of Africans and their descendants as early as 1830. In this volume MacRichie delves deep into the prehistorical past to show how the earliest of human remains on the British Isles were Grimaldi Skulls (African morphology) which predates the white Anglo Saxon, Celts and Picts who we would consider being white people today. These archaeological finds are quite astounding; due to the fact that the people who he uses to substantiate these facts were themselves both Evolutionary Racist, by definition, by the names of Thomas Huxley and Samuel Laing, who both report these facts. Even though they were discovered, dated and identified by the above scholars in academic journals - these racist paleoanthropologist were at least honest enough to put their biases aside in the name of archaeological progress and scientific inquiry; for MacRichie to write about it. Skulls and other human remains found during the mid to late 1880s in Scotland, North Wales and Ireland (England did not exist at that time) show an Africoid presence which consisted of two types of black demography's living in the British Isles who were of the Australoid and Negroid types, long before white people mutated into what we would call Britains today. This field study shows that the British Isles' autochthonous demography's were the Black race, with whites becaming the allochthonous peopling of these Islands at a much later date.<br /><br />[to be continued]<br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-57260399887734896532017-11-19T09:59:40.920-05:002017-11-19T09:59:40.920-05:00I wonder if certain reader reviews for the 1884 bo...I wonder if certain reader reviews for the 1884 book <i>Ancient And Modern Britons</i> might at least partly answer the questions "Why is a black man the one who chases the children in "Who's Afraid Of The Black Man" game and why does his touch turn children black?"<br /><br />One reader review is included in this pancocojams post. Here's another excerpt of a reader review for that book:<br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Modern-Britons-One/product-reviews/0939222108/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_paging_btm_next_2?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&pageNumber=2" rel="nofollow">"https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Modern-Britons-One/product-reviews/0939222108/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_paging_btm_next_2?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&pageNumber=2</a><br /><br />"<i>Ancient and Modern Britons: Volume One</i> by David Mac Ritchie<br />4.0 out of 5 stars Antiquated Knowledge We Have to Look Back to and Learn From By Bonam Pakon May 24, 2007<br /><br />Book I and II are to be found in Volume I. Book III is to be found in Ancient and Modern Britons, Vol. 2.<br /><br />This book focuses on the early/original inhabitants/historical conquerors of the British Isles who weren't white. There have been various peoples who had been known by even more names. And confused by name with each other. There are the original black inhabitants, some Egypt colonizers, conquering "Danes" and other Black (!) Scandinavians and Huns/"Scythians". The author focuses on the culture of the "Gypsies", with all the possible meanings of this term.<br /><br />He meticulously explains names meaning Black and geographic areas referencing their bygone Black inhabitants. There are also reflections on Black history usually dropped or disguised in school and elsewhere in popular culture. Also traces in contemporary culture are examined. Of 1884 that is, for that's the original publishing date.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />In short: This book is an essential classic in overstanding that white European culture has emerged in various ways along black culture. Even though further (modern) knowledge lacking in this book helps a lot in overstanding this even better."<br />-snip-<br />"Overstanding" is a (Jamaican) Rastafarian term that replaces the word "understanding" but has the same meaning as that word. I believe that in Rastafarians' opinion, the element "under" conveys a negative connotation and/or is (therefore) inaccurate.<br /><br /><br /><br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.com
