"They're some weird new-age humanoid bigfeet"

Naw, that was John Kerry and he's not black.

Lemme guess---you wrote this book or otherwise have some stake in it?

The older inhabitants of the British Isles, like the Picts were referred to as 'black' but in usage that merely meant swarthy. Anyone who was not very fair of skin was called a 'Black Man'.

The reward posters for Charles II during the English Revolution refer to him as a 'Black Man' but we know from history and many paintings that he was half Italian and not especially dark. The Irish sometimes refered to the Italians as 'Black' in the NorthEastern United States as late as WWII.

There is genetic evidence slowly accumulating that supports the Irish legends that the Tuatha di Dannan came from Western Spain. That would make tem 'Black Men' according o the usage in the area.

It appears that Blacks have not always been a subservient race.

Then why are they now?

I saw a cat cough up a Firbolg once, it wasn't pretty.

Damn....I bet that was ugly...what the hell's a firblog anyway?

Bullseye.

"The Fomorians were an ancient sea-faring race it is thought that they originally came from Northern Africa or Asia as they are described as having dark hair and dark skin in the original accounts. The name 'Fomor' literally means 'beneath the sea' from the Gaelic faoi-mhuir. Today scholars believe that 'Mor' means 'phantom' or 'spirit' and therefore proves that the Fomorians were considered to be Gods with magical powers."

...

"Most Fomorians are described as dark-haired but there are exceptions Elatha the father of Bres being described as having 'golden-hair and being the handsomest man in sight'. He also seems to have been less blood-thirsty and more interested in justice. He refused to go to war with his son Bres against the Tuatha Dé because it was an 'unjust cause'."

I did a Google search on Formorians. They're some weird new-age humanoid bigfeet without a shread of proof that they aren't just made up by some BSer

My findings also. Except they were mentioned also with leprechauns and banshees and other Irish myths. Basically comic book stuff(they even had a chieftain named Coonan). Think I will wait for the animated series.

You don't want to know, it's some more of those old Celtic tales (and yes, Celts were Caucasians, check the DNA).

Firbolg.

There is no better teller of tales than a drunken Irishman. I feel like singing "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ra".:)

And just who am I subservient to?

Not me, and only a really stupid idiot with a death wish would try that.:)

[Starhubbler]

Scottish historian David MacRitchie says in his book "Ancient and Modern Britons (2vols): "Let it once be understood, that the Picts of history were Blackamoors.

The author of "Retake Your Fame" has also cited Claudian, Tacitus etc, who described the ancient Britons as "Black as Ethiopians.

Apparently, the Blacks were bred out from intermingling over the centuries.

However, according to MacRitchie, Aylmer von Fleischer, etc. remnants of these Blacks can be found in the gypsies, who are now thorougly mixed.

The Formorians were immigrant construction workers renown for getting their first draw and then walking off the job before completing the roofs or interiors..

Are you subserviant?

The question was asked of you as to who am I supposed to be subserviant to. You asked, "[t]hen why are they now?" So that's an affirmative statement as to blacks being subserviant to someone.

Well, of course I'm black, so the question stands. Who am I subserviant to?
