Overview
According to the Venerable Bede, Gregory was strolling through the Roman slave markets when he saw a group of boys with fair skin and blond hair being sold as chattel. According to the authors, the story of Gregory and the Angles is \"a founding myth for white supremacist ideas about the past.\" [...]the authors also take up the thesis, which has now been embraced by most American educators, that Spain was lucky to be invaded by the Umayyad Caliphate in 711, and the only people who didn't want to be colonized by Berbers and Arabs were racists. According to the authors, support for the Reconquista-Spaniards fighting to reclaim Spain from their colonizers-was \"mainstreamed\" by \"Spanish nationalism and contemporary Roman Catholic reactionism, and then embraced by Franco's fascists just before World War II.\"
