>why does some guy keep making these damn Viking hate threads?

It's part of the snownigger meme leaked from /pol/.
Basically all the Viking fanboyism generated the conter-meme that Vikings and Germanic/Scandinavian people in general are shit.

>>1441636
>Viking settlement or raids in Sardinia or Corsica

Never documented, it's not historical to say that there were, never post that map again on a historical board.

>vikings conquered south italy
But the Normans had almost ben completelly franchified then

Same applies to the yellow part of England.

>>1441636
>They had the North Sea Empire
Historians like to use the term"Empire" loosely in order to describe a moment of ascendancy,not factual existence of an empire of any sort.

Also,only a small portion of them were valued as craftsmen,metal smiths and mercenaries,the majority were farmers,fishermen and most importantly,raiders,sub-par slavers and pirates.

>Any complaints of fanboying could be leveled against any other half notable group out there
No it couldn't,because Viking fanboyism is over-inflated and on point with the "we were kings" meme which seems to be dominating in the modern,African-American community.

It's not talking about Normans

>>1442529
Yes it is. Vikings never conquered any of that.

>>1442378
Generally speaking,Germanic/Scandinavian people were shit,until the moment they've adopted a Latin-based culture,that is.

>>1442533
Sweyn and Cnut both conquered all of England

Vikings also participated in the Norman conquest of Italy

All civilization were poorer/less developed at some point.

Indeed,but you don't see them pretending being better before they've come in contact with someone who was more superior than they are.

Afrocentrism is science-fantasy tier, where people claim completely imaginary historical origins, mythical empires, rulers and technologies and even supernatural powers. Things that have no basis in reality.

Viking fanboyism is most of the time exaggeration of things that actually existed. It may be ignorant, misinformed and biased, but it has some actual basis in reality.

Vikings did reach America, conquered and built states, Black Africans were not Egyptians, didn't create Christianity and didn't invent everything.

These things are not even on the same level.

>conquered and built states
Highly exaggerated in the case of the Rus,it's true that they've rallied the Slavic tribes into a tribal confederation with the Rurikids as their ruling dynasty,but that's where their involvement ends.
