The Fomorians
There are many oblique references to the presence of Black people in ancient Ireland. Ancient Irish mythology refers to the original inhabitants of the island as being a giant, sea-faring people called the Fomorians (Fomors), which means “dark of the sea”. According to the ancient lore, they were a cushitic people from the African continent. Often depicted as demons, they defeated the first few incoming waves of invaders, but could not defeat the Firbolgs, who settled the land and lived side-by-side with the native Fomors.
Those myths may have a factual historical basis. It is proposed that the Formorians were a real people who were in all likelihood sailors from the African continent.
Two more invasions, the first led by the godly Tuatha de Danaan, and the second by the Celtic Milesians, took control of Ireland, mixing together with the Fomorians until they were no more.
There are credible sources for the African association with Ireland. The most likely of these is that they were Phoenicians and/or Egyptians. The Phoenicians were Canaanites, which came from the line of Ham. Ham is the mythological ancestor of the Black nation.
The Phoenicians were also well-known for their sailing skills, and are said to have traveled to the British Isles, which they called the “Tin Islands”. Perhaps, before Ireland was a Celtic domain, which it wasn’t until a few centuries BCE, the Phoenicians colonized it. It is noteworthy that the name Fomorians sounds a bit like Phoenicians.
There is also a legend that an Egyptian princess, Scota, left Egypt with some followers and journeyed to Ireland. Legend has it that Egyptians left many ancient tin mines all over Britain but especially Ireland which was their major source of the valuable metal.
Another idea is that they were Taureg Berbers. The Berber language is Hamitic, and the Berber people live in an area from which travel to Ireland would be easily accessible. The Berbers perhaps set sail from western Morocco, and settled on Ireland before the Celts, making it their new home.
Moorish Science Temple founder Drew Ali teaches that Ireland was once part of a Moorish empire, and that the Irish are a Moorish people. Perhaps there is a common root between the “moor” sound in Fomor and the word Moor?
Selkies and Half-Breeds
Another Irish legend tells of the Selkies, a sort-of “wereseal” that is a seal during day, but a human by nightfall. Sometimes, in an Irish family of fair-skinned, light-haired people, a child is born with dark hair eyes, and skin, and is called a Selkie.
The concept of the Selkies appears to make subliminal reference to the half-breed children that resulted from the extensive miscegenation that occurred between the Celts and the dark skinned original inhabitants that they had met upon their arrival in Ireland.
Many people of Irish descent have distant and recent African roots, and these features can still be seen in the people and in the culture. There are some Irish people with Afros (just like Andre the Giant a late continental European wrestler with afro-hair). In Southern Ireland, some people, referred to as “Black Irish”, are noted for their strikingly dark features, as opposed to the fair-skinned, light-haired north.
Although many Irish descendants are particularly pale, they do have pronounced Africoid facial features, as well as dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair that is sort-of kinky, especially in moist conditions. A sub race of the Irish called the Bronn are noticeably Mediterranean (read: African) in features especially their hair.
In addition to all of this, Celtic music is distinctly different from the rest of Europe, and easily comparable to African music.
Black, Viking and Irish
Unlike Scotland and England, Ireland was never colonized by the Romans. As a result, Ireland remained relatively isolated.
The Vikings established port cities like Dublin. The Viking texts left stories and descriptions of African soldiers captured in Ireland whom they called blaumen[blue-men].
Most Viking references to ”black” in Norse would have signified having black hair as opposed to skin color but blaumen meant black skinned. Most of these blaumen were captured soliders from Moorish Spain. It was observed that:
“A prominent Viking of the eleventh century was Thorhall, who was aboard the ship that carried the early Vikings to the shores of North America. Thorhall was “the huntsman in summer, and in winter the steward of Eric the Red. He was, it is said, a large man, and strong, black, and like a giant, silent, and foul-mouthed in his speech, and always egged on Eric to the worst; he was a bad Christian.””
“Another Viking, more notable than Thorhall, was Earl Thorfinn, “the most distinguished of all the earls in the Islands.” Thorfinn ruled over nine earldoms in Scotland and Ireland, and died at the age of seventy-five. His widow married the king of Scotland. Thorfinn was described as “one of the largest men in point of stature, and ugly, sharp featured, and somewhat tawny, and the most martial looking man… It has been related that he was the foremost of all his men.””
What about Scotland and Wales?
“Any comprehensive account of the African presence in early Europe should include England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Scandinavia. The history and legends of Scotland confirm the existence of “purely Black people.” We see one of them in the person of Kenneth the Niger. During the tenth century Kenneth the Niger ruled over three provinces in the Scottish Highlands.
The historical and literary traditions of Wales reflect similar beliefs. According to Gwyn Jones (perhaps the world’s leading authority on the subject), to the Welsh chroniclers, “The Danes coming in by way of England and the Norwegians by way of Ireland were pretty well all black: Black Gentiles, Black Norsemen, Black Host.””

“Skeptic replied:
I’ve come to a conclusion…that perhaps it may be true. I’m presenting things from a white supremacist point of view and I’ve been beating around the bush, but hey…why can’t we all just get along?”
Just FYI, Eleazar, that was an imposter. There’s no peace between you and the sane world.
For my money the Formorians were in all probability the Last Neanderthals in Europe and settled Ireland according to the Dictionary of Celtic Mythology by Peter Beresford Ellis and practised the Mesolithic industry. I sugest that all in all they settled both Britain and Ireland arround year of the world annomundi 2520 and 1484 BC contemporary with Partholan mysources for this information are from the “Dictionary of Celtic Mythology page 100 paragragh Five whaere the formors and Partholan arrive in Ireland at the same time at the end of the Ice Age. Partholan’s people were a neolithic/chalcolithic industry people and remains of their flint tools &c have been found in Burial Mounds and the typical mesolithic flintimplements of the formors have been found on Tory Island and allong lakes and rivers. You will see this when you read the old ulster document from Roots Web. Author johnhextfremlin@hotmail.com
I further aggree that there is the possible likelihood that the Formors could have been of carthaginian or Phonician origin; but it could also well be that they were of Azilian origin again from Spain or Africa. John
The Mesolithic Industry People persisted right into the archaeological Bronze Age in Britain and on Ireland so therefore what’s good for Ireland is also good for Britain being geographically near each other. Nemed came to Ireland in year of the world annomundi 2859 or 1145 BC and in between this date and 701 or for our purposes here annomundi 3303 The Formores were displaced by Brutus when helanded in Britain in am 2900 or 1104 BC and as already mentioned could have been the last neanderthals in Europe. Nemed started the early Bronze culture on Ireland and Brutus Compendium of World History volume one chapter 18; started the early Bronze culture on Britain . In 701 BC the tuatha de dannan took Ireland and finally routed the Formores. And in annomundi 3500 or 504 BCwe come to the early Iron culture although stone tools were still being used by the peasantry &c with iron B in Britain and Ireland from 220 BC. These were the Latene Celts. The Picts did’nt arrive in Scotland untill anomundi 3904 or 100 BC with the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 and 54 BC by Julius Caesar and finaly conquered in AD 43. One thing is for sure and they never defeated the Picts. I have two Links pages that I would like to draw attention to the reader. One is from Mr Charles S Kimball’s website and so is the second one with regard to Neanderthal in Historic Times the first one being on page 11 of 20 Bottom Paragragh which is Professor Gunnar Heinsohn’s time line for Ancient Europe at The Genesis Chronicles: A Proposed History Of The Morning Of The World and the secondone is a reffrence to the Neanderthal/Formorian link on page 36 of 36 at A History of Europe top paragragh.

One in one hundred white Britons directly descended from an African or Asian

DNA reveals black genes in white Britons
Jonathan Leake, Science Editor
ONE in every 100 “white” Britons is directly descended from an African or Asian, a new study has found. The study, which looked at the DNA of 10,000 people, found that many who believed their ancestry to be completely British were actually far more diverse.
Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at Oxford University, believes the DNA originates in Africans brought to Britain as soldiers and slaves by the Romans.
Among those whom Sykes found with a strong selection of African genes were a dairy farmer from Somerset whose British ancestry can be traced back hundreds of years.
Many other discoveries cannot be so easily explained. Sykes found that a primary school teacher in Edinburgh had Polynesian DNA that could only have originated from tribes in the south Pacific, even though her family could trace its British ancestry for at least 200 years.
Sykes believes such discoveries show that long migrations and consequent mixing of populations have always been a feature of humanity, making talk about racial purity meaningless.
He said: “This makes nonsense of any biological basis for racial classification. We are all a complex mixture and, at the same time, we are all related.”
Similar analyses on black Britons have helped them to establish the links to their past that were destroyed when their ancestors were captured by slave traders.
Jendayi Serwah, of Bristol, came to Britain from Jamaica and was unable to trace her ancestry more than a few generations. Gene tests showed that she was almost certainly descended from members of the Kenyan Kikuyu tribe.
Other recent research has further undermined claims that Britain, or groups within it, could be racially unmixed. It showed that almost everybody of native European descent could trace their ancestry back to one of seven women who lived between 45,000 and 10,000 years ago.
Sykes is part of a project to create a genetic map of the British Isles, including Ireland. Early results suggest that, despite each group’s claims to distinct origins, Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland were once members of the same tribe, some of whose members emigrated to southwest Scotland in about 800AD.

the human genome was mapped out by the genome project.all peoples mitochondrial dna goes back to africa.why is it important. it stops the lies of those who claim to be genetically superior to blacks.the false arab muslims, who are really turks,(including the saidi royal family) and the japethic jews, (who are really gentiles) have put the world on the verge of a third world war and total annialation.the japethic jews (sons of japeth and gog and magog who are really russians from askenazia and sephardim from spain are masquerading as something they are not. (see revelations chap 2 verse 9)a simple cheek swab , now that the human genome has been mapped out, stops all the lies. the strongest hebrew markers are found in the ethiopean falasha and the bubi tribe in deep africa.why would god choose as his chosen a people who can only pass their racial characteristic to only themselves.they would die out and no longer exist. only the sons of ham pass their race to whomever they mate with, be it eskimo, chinese, white or whatever. that is where the fear, the hate and the lies come from. the african , creator race makes african babies, no matter who they mate with.the original hebrews(sons od abraham and isaac) and arabs (sons of ismael)were ebony skinned. no whites entered the bibical lands until the romans 400 years before christ.sestoris, the black hamitic pharoah known as the king of the world, spread black skin all over the black sea and european coasts long before africans sailed to irland and britain.the leader of the romans invading was and african general. but no matter.with the gene pool mapped out..the lies will finally end..but not the fear and racism.
well said but the whites jews are not Japhet, they are sons of eusa
