00:00:00.000All right, as you see in the title of the video, I want to share a black pill with you all.
00:00:07.000But don't worry, I have a white pill at the end of the video as well.
00:00:10.000Now, first and foremost, I want to make something extremely clear as well,
00:00:15.000that we should absolutely, 100%, look at the heroes, the Spanish and Portuguese heroes of the Reconquista,
00:00:22.000and we should gain motivation and be inspired by their feats of valor.
00:00:28.000On a personal note, I've been an admirer. El Cid has had a place in my heart ever since I was like 10 or 11 when I first encountered his story, playing Age of Empires 2 actually, and yeah, then a while back I actually prayed at his tomb even, so yes, he is a hero that we should all admire.
00:00:46.800Now then, what is the black pill, you might ask? Yes, this video is sort of a response to, often you see, you know, pictures on X where
00:00:55.940guys are saying, don't give up, this is how the situation was for the Spanish and Portuguese, the Asturians, at the height of Muslim power in
00:01:05.980Iberia, so during the height of Al-Andalus. Now, the black pill then is that we are not in that situation, we are in a lot worse situation.
00:01:16.320The conquest of Spain, it was a military one, it was an administrative one, it was not a demographic one.0.74
00:01:23.340So to put things into perspective, we have more North Africans in Spain today than during the Muslim occupation of Spain.
00:01:32.800So keep that in mind also if we're talking about, you know, mixing.0.59
00:01:37.360The Spanish, they have like 2.5% North African DNA, which is next to nothing.0.99
00:01:42.500So there wasn't big mixing, which is, you know, good of course.
00:01:46.780So keep that in mind if someone says, oh, they got mixed out.
