    ...cutting-edge DNA sequencing of more than 400 Viking skeletons from archaeological sites scattered across Europe and Greenland will rewrite the history books as it has shown:Skeletons from famous Viking burial sites in Scotland were actually local people who could have taken on Viking identities and were buried as Vikings.Many Vikings actually had brown hair not blonde hair.Viking identity was not limited to people with Scandinavian genetic ancestry. The study shows the genetic history of Scandinavia was influenced by foreign genes from Asia and Southern Europe before the Viking Age.Early Viking Age raiding parties were an activity for locals and included...

    A great man once said, “It is best I had no learn­ing, for many learned men be great fools.”This great man was Thomas Fuller. He was born in 1710 in Africa.

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Liberals at Twitter were outraged this morning upon finding out almost 10% of their company is now owned by an African-American. Several have threatened walk-outs to protest the news. "Elon's foreigner ways aren't welcome here," said Twitter Programming Director Xerxie Vamoosixx, (xe/xir.) "I watched a TikTok video about a Salon article about a tweet from a journalist that said Elon is 'based,' which is another word for transphobic. I have literally not stopped shaking and throwing up on my desk since I found out." Several unnamed sources from within the company expressed worry that the African immigrant will...

    Two men given probation by Third District Judge Douglas Hogan after having raped an unconscious 14-year-old girl in West Jordan, Utah, originally arrived in the United States from the Central African Republic, Breitbart News confirmed.

Nasouh Albasis-Albasis, 24-years-old, was also convicted for filming the rape. Hogan, appointed by former Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) made headlines this week when he offered Djasserambaye, Leclair, and Albasis-Albasis plea bargains that...

That makes him an African American. That’s how it works.” “Perfection. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been excited to vote for an AZ senate candidate until now,” another tweeter asserted.

    Fans of the television series The Great British Bake Off have long marveled at the skill contestants show during the dreaded "technical challenge" — for which they are given a basket with all the ingredients needed to make a highly unusual dish but a set of instructions that are often as vague as, "Bake until ready." Now a team of scientists at a pharmaceutical startup in South Africa is essentially confronting the same type of test — except the stakes are life and death. The World Health Organization has hired the company, called Afrigen Biologics and Vaccines, as part of...

    HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) -- HPD Police Chief Susan Ballard said three police officers tried non-lethal force first, including by deploying a Taser, before fatally shooting a 29-year-old suspect multiple times in Nuuanu on Wednesday night who was repeatedly punching them. The man had no weapons and no criminal record. When Ballard was asked whether the suspect reached for or grabbed one of the officers’ guns, she said that is still under investigation. Ballard spoke Thursday morning, defending the officers’ actions and saying they all walked away from the incident with injuries. One of the police officers, the first on the...

    HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) -- The state Health Department says a case of COVID with the so-called South African mutation has been detected in an Oahu adult with no history of travel. It’s the first such infections in Hawaii. Nationally, at least 80 cases have been confirmed, the CDC said. Officials are holding a news conference Monday to discuss the news. WATCH LIVE: The discovery is concerning because the B.1.351 variant is known to be more transmissible. It also contains a mutation that could make it less responsive to antibodies formed naturally by someone who has had COVID or by a...

    It seems strange to talk about child sacrifice in 2020, but it continues to be part of "traditional African medicine". According to Wikipedia: "Witch doctors, who also identify as traditional healers, will consult the spirits for anyone who can pay their fee.[6] The spirits will communicate via them the kind of sacrifice for appeasement that they want. Often these sacrifices are chickens or goats, but when such sacrifices fail to make the client prosper instantly, 'the spirits' will demand human sacrifices.[8]" Witch doctors may suggest child sacrifice to help with matters involving "health or good fortune" or perhaps " to...

    Pavel Daryl Kem Senou, a Cameroonian student in China “became the first African person known to be infected with the deadly coronavirus and the first to recover.” Some sources are claiming that African skin resists the coronavirus because of superior genetics. Is there truth to this? This claim started because the first African to be infected with the Coronavirus, Pavel Daryl Kem Senou, responded well to medical treatment, unlike thousands of others (non-africans) who contracted the virus and died soon after. One of the first Cameroonian general information websites reports, Journalducameroun.com reports, “The Chinese Embassy in Yaounde has announced that...

    The number of African migrants heading to the U.S. through Mexico has more than doubled this year — from roughly 2,700 in 2018 to 5,800 today, according to data from the federal government. That figure has been steadily rising since 2007 — the year the Mexican government began including migrants from African countries who have contact with immigration officials in their annual migration reports — when the number was 460. And that dramatic increase has been mostly left out of U.S. immigration conversations, activists say. “Even within the immigration movement, you see a lack of visibility of Black narratives with...

The sparsely attended parish was filled mostly with older progressives who were angry that their new Nigerian priest,...

    Police in Melbourne have been slammed for making no arrests after residents of the city’s north-west suburbs were terrorised by gangs of African youths who bragged “police can’t touch us” and branded frightened families “racist”. Despite its sending dozens of armed officers in riot gear to Taylors Hill as more than 100 teenagers gathered “for war”, and telling residents to “stay inside and lock their doors” as rival gangs ran amok, police claimed there had been “no threat to community safety”. According to The Age, there was a heavy police presence at the scene for several hours, including cavalry officers...

    PARIS (Reuters) - Italy on Saturday said “arrogant” France risked becoming its “No.1 enemy” on migration issues, a day before European leaders convene in Brussels for a hastily arranged meeting on the divisive topic. In answer to comments by French President Emmanuel Macron, who said migration flows toward Europe had reduced compared with a few years ago, Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio said Macron’s words showed he was out of touch. “Italy indeed faces a migration emergency and it’s partly because France keeps pushing back people at the border. Macron risks making his country Italy’s No.1 enemy on...
