Interesting! This passed me completely by, since I don't live in sweden, day to day. I vaguely remember my father watching an episode or two, but he found it quite thin and too popularized, so he went back to his history books instead.

 That kind of cursory dismissal is precisely what it deserved.
 I despise the woke mind virus.

 I think everyone who is rational, despises the woke mind virus. It is a virus
that will lead to the death of civilization if it is not killed.

Ironic eh - an actual self-generated malady - not unlike a killer staph infection.

True.

As for the black cavemen, the argument is that apparently the original cavemen from the south had darker skin, but later cavemen from the east came to sweden with whiter skin, and in the end, they achieved supremacy, and hence our modern very beautiful white skin!

 So in the end it all worked out.

 For the moment!
 

But of course there would be darker skinned migrants, such is the nomadic nature of our responses to interglacial periods.
 I just reject that they were Saharan, but one can't say for certain.

 

The danger these days though, is that we have imported new cavemen from the middle east, again with darker skin, so we'll see who will prevail in the end. =/

 I am put in mind of the Mormons' earlier doctrinal chastening to native cultures to become a "white and delightsome" entity.
 There seem to be many more forces that wish actual whiteness away now.
 That is disturbing, as ethnic cleansings go.

 I hope that at least in the US there is now a white revival thanks to Trump,
when it is ok to be white again! =)

It is happening, but glacially...

Yes... but let's hope the process of healing will speed up!

I heard from deep within IBM, that slowly it is not seen as positive to be woke
any longer. Everyone was forced to goose step to the woke tune, but all of a
sudden, small shifts in the mindset has been detected.

That's excellent! I just hope Levis jeans will reverse as well, so I can go back to my favourite old, black, 501:s. ;)

I wonder if the IBM senior management are trying to shift befor Trump is
crowned? It would fit with the typical opportunistic, corporate manager without
a soul, to shifts his core beliefs based on where the money is.

Absolutely they are.

Many are the drones I've met throughout my working life. They make me shudder and feel as if I need a shower after meeting with them.

 For much of its history, the Salt Lake City-based LDS Church edition of the Book of Mormon taught that dark-skinned Lamanites (Indians) would eventually experience a change in the color of their skin should they embrace the Book of Mormon. Except for a single edition (1840), 2 Nephi 30:6 has read:
 “…their scales of darkness shall begin to fall from their eyes; and many generations shall not pass away among them, save they shall be a white and a delightsome people.”
 In 1981, the LDS Church decided to change what Joseph Smith called “the most correct of any book on earth” by reverting to the wording of the lone 1840 edition. The word “white” was replaced with the word “pure.” Some Mormons insist that this was a clarification since the word was never meant to refer to a person with dark skin pigmentation who would magically turn white based upon a conversion to the Mormon gospel; rather, it is claimed that the change referred to a cleaner state of heart. This assumption fails to explain (or counter) other passages in the Book of Mormon that still make a connection with “iniquity” and skin color. For example, 2 Nephi 5:21 still says:
 “And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, and they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.”
 Third Nephi 2:12-15 continues to teach that dark-skinned Lamanites who converted unto the Lord had their curse “taken from them, and their skin became white like unto the Nephites.”
