Napoleon’s complexion according to his Private Secretary

When at Brienne, Bonaparte was remarkable for the dark color of his
complexion (which, subsequently, the climate of France somewhat changed),
for his piercing and scrutinising glance, and for the style of his
conversation both with his masters and comrades.

From:THE ENTIRE MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

by LOUIS ANTOINE FAUVELET DE BOURRIENNE

His Private Secretary

This from a man who knew Napoleon himself from a very early period:

The friendship between Bonaparte and Bourrienne began in boyhood, at the school of Brienne, and their unreserved intimacy continued during the moat brilliant part of Napoleon's career

I wonder how Anon will explain that one... Melano-Nordics?

[Kukul-Kan]

That statement coming from someone that knew Napoleon personally is especially interesting when you compare it to this taken from MoTT.

Napoleon Bonaparte, a Nordic racial type, born on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean. Like all but the most extreme Nordics, his hair darkened as he got older.

Light types do exist in Southern Europe(you must know it better), but saying every man of some importance is a member of the light complexioned minority is a bit naive ,to say the least.

If you dig a little you will of course find references of light people in the South, including both mediocre and great folks, but the same could be said about the Northern European types, just like that sonnet in which Shakespeare praised a “dark lady” or like Egil the Viking’s description in the Sagas. This just shows the stupidity of ‘Medocentrism’ and Nordicism and the people in the internet who take this too seriously, like it was proven here some days ago in those obnoxiously repetitive threads.

Look, I can write a book like MoTT in 5 days, make it even more succesfull than MoTT by making it more extreme and incendiary.

Excerpts from my new books:

"Shaka Zulu, an atypical Eskimo"

-Shaka was different from the other Zulu children. While they danced and enjoyed their childhood, Shaka could think of nothing else but hunting seals, ice-fishing and building igloos.

"Adolf Hitler, a brotha"

-It's without question that Adolf Hitler was a brotha.
If you don't believe me, you're a racist!

"Napoleon, a nordic"

-It's without question that Napoleon was nordic.
If you don't believe me, you're a Jew.
