      People didn't come directly from Africa to Scandinavia. They'd already
    evolved
      lighter skin by living in Europe for centuries by the time they got
 to the
      high northern latitudes.
     
      The early inhabitants of Sweden, dating back to the Bromme culture
   post-Ice
      Age (around 12,000 BC) and through the Neolithic and Iron Ages, were
      overwhelmingly of northern European descent-- hunter-gatherers,
   farmers, and
      later Norse populations with light skin, varied eye colors, and
genetics
      tracing back to local European ancestry, not Africa. Genetic studies
    spanning
      2,000 years (as detailed in ScienceDirect's research) show
 influences from
    the
      eastern Baltic, British-Irish Isles, and southern Europe, but zero
    indication
      of direct African migration in Scandinavia during these periods.

  
    Perhaps I should've said they would be *darker* skinned when they
    arrived.  And they would've stayed darker until the evolutionary
    pressure (Vitamin D) worked its magic.
  
    I don't know they'd have been as dark as those actors, and even less do
    I know the motives of everyone behind this portrayal.  Nevertheless,
    afaics, they're supported by at least *some* scientific rationale.

   
    It's no coincidence that the populace of indigenous white nations across
 the
    globe are all suddenly being told that their countries and cultures were
 all
    really black all along.
   
    This is a coordinated politically-motivated agenda to erase white culture
    everywhere it exists and pretend that white people are just some genetic
    mistake that needs to be corrected.

  
   I'm wondering what (desirable) bits of 'white culture' are being erased.

 
 Imagine you're a tourist on your first trip to England and this is what you
 find at all the major tourist attractions in London: Muslims on loudspeakers
 blasting out the call to prayer five times/day.

 And it's not limited to the Caliphate of Europe, either. The guy who wanted
 us to vote for him for VP was perfectly happy having the same thing
blasted out
 across Minneapolis five times a day. (The first one occurs in the pitch dark
 before the sun even rises.)

 I lived in Riyadh as a kid. Believe me, if you're not a Muslim, this sort of
 thing has a major negative effect on your quality of life. It wakes you
up in
 the morning, it keeps you from sleeping at night and it disrupts your life
 several times in between every single day, but you're just supposed to
accept
 it or you're an Islamophobic bigot.

 
 I guess I know what I am because it seems to me if someone were truly
 devout they could keep themselves aware of when it was time for
 prayer. It would be one thing if this were centuries ago when time
 pieces were expensive and few could afford any sort of alarm clock,
 but today for a few dollars anyone can have an alarm that keeps
 accurate time and can let them know when it is time for prayer. No
 need to disturb everyone in the area for such notice.

 
 Disturbing everyone in the area is the point. It's a power move over the
local
 population.

 
I'd imagine it's based on a Muslim commandment.

The purpose of which is to give the local population a daily reminder of who's
in charge. Like I said, a power move.

And, as such, I don't see how it's *qualitatively* less appropriate than,
e.g., Blue Laws.

To the extent those laws were motivated by religion, the same analysis (and
result) applies. Which is the main reason why those laws have been, for the
most part, repealed.

A more direct comparison would be the church bells on Christian churches. The
tradition of ringing them on Sunday mornings is pretty much the same thing: a
call to prayer. They are less intrusive, only ringing once per week rather
than five times every single day, but people who aren't religious shouldn't
have to put up with this shit from the Muslims *or* the Christians.

At least the Jews are quiet.
