HISTORY LESSON

“The traces of our black ancestry are visibly existent in a hundred surnames. The legends and the history of the Scottish Highlands are both witnesses to the existence of purely black people” — David MacRitchie

These individuals were not “Africans living in Europe”—they were Europeans of ancient African descent who spoke European languages and contributed to European history…

Many so called Black Americans today carry Scottish and Irish surnames, a direct link to their Black European ancestors—yet, instead of acknowledging this, many choose to push the narrative that they are 100% “Aboriginal American” with absolutely no admixture whatsoever…

They conveniently ignore the historical reality that their ancestors bore names like Douglas, Duff, McDonald, McDowell, Doyle, Graham, Moore, Murray, Black, Brown, Campbell, Stewart, Dunn, Duncan, Gordon, etc, etc,—all of which originally referred to dark-complexioned or Black individuals in Scotland and Ireland…

They’ll laugh at the idea that so called Black people lived in Europe for thousands of years, while simultaneously carrying names that literally mean “Black man”

“Macduff is certainly a common enough Gaelic name, Mac Dubh — son of the black man”

(Peter Berresford Ellis, “Macbeth: High King of Scotland, 1040-57”)

“As Niger and Rufus were names of families amongst the Romans, from the colour and complexion of men, so it seems Duff was, from the swarthy and black colour of those of the tribe, or clan of Macduff”

It is probable that many of those Dubh-glasses would, in course of time, be known by other surnames such as Black, Brown, Moore, Murray, Faw, Young, and Gordon…

It must be remembered that this name (Douglas) originally meant nothing more than “the black man” and that it only clung to one special tribe, by the same accidental process that has made such names as Black, Duff, Dow, Brown, Donn, Dunn, and others, become the distinguishing surname of other families…
