my Dad told. We have a very unique Norwegian last name. He was US Army, survived Normandy and in October was captured by German Panzers in Luxembourg. At his P.O.W interrogation the SS saw his name and said “Ahhh, Norwegian you are Aryan, like us. We are brothers!”. My dad wanted to spit in his face, he thought “you murdering bas****ds, I am nothing like you”.

That the genes for blue eyes and light skin are actually recessive genes? And that "white" has always been a minority even though they think the opposite?

The nuke from orbit would be that everyone of us are descended from two small very dark individuals who lived in sub Sahara Africa a couple hundred millennia ago.

will determine who wins in November. Evidently JFK Dems have switched to Trump -- it's the economy, stupid. Plus suburbanites and rural folk disgusted by the BLM protests/violence in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Fat Nixon and his goons have targeted Minnesota HARD ever since he lost the state and I hope the Democratic Party is doing whatever it can to make sure he loses again.

in Minny. Ventura played that card and we know how Minny went into the toilet after that debacle.

Warned Skip personally as to what was happening in Out State,and his reply was,we are so far ahead that no matter what Jesse did,we win. Yah right. Two weeks after the Election,he pulled his kid out of Public school and enrolled him in Blake. That was the last time he or his Son showed up for Hockey Practice.

Seems like the Ventura Card is now in play.

different than State Wide. Always amazed Political Scientists how Minnesota loves their divided State Government and then just bitch like hell until the next election because their personal wants were not met once again.

They spent 20 years telling the country Hillary was a criminal. Which is interesting since she has never been charged with any crime.

Who managed to rule the world - TWICE for almost 1000 years. If that’s the measuring stick it’s pretty evident who the master race is - and it’s not the Nordic people.

They had a three thousand year run and deeply influenced those Greeks and Romans -agriculture, medicine, architecture, crafts, religion.

Now 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 close family members.
The genetic legacy in the UK has left the population with up to six per cent Viking DNA.
