Yes. One of the first instances of violent White Supremacy. It was fucking disgusting.

>>3019324
No

>>3019324

but but race was invented in the 1800s!!! the ancients would have seen nothing wrong with a black man fucking their woman as long as he spoke the same language as them and had the same customs!!!! professor cohen at my college said so.

it was a vent to stop European infighting, stupid nobles where feuding all the time over muh honour.

No, Levantines are white obviously. It's the Fr*nch who aren't white, with all their shitskin sephardic genes.

Sacreblue, we've been exposed!

>>3019324
Oh Jesus Christ, not this shit again.

Let me put this way: the average medieval noble, when confronted with a stranger from a far-off land, would have cared more about their religion than the physical features they had. Sure, if they saw a "blackamoor" sas blacks were called back then), an Indian or a mongol, chances are they would have assumed said black guy was a pagan AKA non-christian and act accordingly, but it's stilla far cry from the definition of race today as a set of physical features shared by large swathes of concontiguous populations.

As such, no, the Crusades were not a race war.

the "racially motivated violence didn't exist until the 1800s" meme.

No one is white

>>3019324
No. They were money/faith/culture driven. Phenotype can't be shoved into every conflict, for fuck's sake.
