    the basis of modern Patriarchy

    So pagans weren’t white?

    white supremacy was born

    The Norse?

    What a weird definition you use

      What I meant is simply that the roman empire and the Catholic church forged ideological colonial basis of today, not that racism didn’t exist before

      Also I meant Patriarchy as an overarching colonial institution, not as an isolated cultural concept. The world wasn’t always universally like this, there are many examples of non (or less) patriarchal societies throughout history, and we don’t know enough about prehistory to make any definitive judgement on humanity

        True but that doesn’t fit with your argument as a precondition to being white
