The white gunman who killed three Black people at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, over the weekend wore a Rhodesian army patch on his tactical vest, law enforcement sources say, a reference that has been used before during white supremacist attacks.

The patch — representing Rhodesia, a former white minority-ruled territory in southern Africa in the 1960s and ’70s that would become Zimbabwe — is yet another symbol of how the shooter, Ryan Palmeter, was racist and was influenced by racist ideology, investigators say.

    The Neanderthals likely had very low populations to begin with. And I know it likely wasn’t conquest.

    We can’t rule it 100% out, but as I said, the PIE mostly outbred and interbred the og europeans away. Which is ironic because that’s what modern Europeans say will happen to them.

      Ok wasnt sure, the way you put it sounded like you thought it was abject conquest. Also I find it funny since as I understand it immigrants in europe are usually assimilated within three generations.

        It’s always projection… Europeans know they can’t assimilate and destroy every culture around them. So they are deathly afraid it to be done to them.

          Thats best seen with the French, who basically tried colonizing all the cultures who werent from around Paris. And the English aint got a right to bitch about minorities, ya dont get to bitch when you conquered half the fucking planet.
