I'll ask this again
what does it matter what color they were?
A Viking (pron. /ˈvaɪkɪŋ/) is one of the Norse (Scandinavian) explorers, warriors, merchants, and pirates who raided and colonized wide areas of Europe from the late eighth to the early eleventh century.[1] These Norsemen used their famed longships to travel as far east as Constantinople and the Volga River in Russia, and as far west as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland. This period of Viking expansion is known as the Viking Age, and forms a major part of the medieval history of Scandinavia, Britain, Ireland and the rest of Europe in general.
A romanticized picture of Vikings as Germanic noble savages emerged in the 18th century, and expanded during the Victorian era Viking revival.[2] In Britain it took the form of Septentrionalism, in Germany that of "Wagnerian" pathos or even Germanic mysticism, and in the Scandinavian countries that of Romantic nationalism or Scandinavism. In contemporary popular culture these clichéd depictions are often exaggerated with the effect of presenting Vikings as caricatures.

No. Today. Right now. Why does it matter?
Does it affect you if the Israelites were black or purple?
Does it affect the way you live your life if it turns out that all of the bloodlines that you talk about are not how you think?

Did you click the links I provided? we actually use real book that are quite expensive, not History for Kids books.
Besides the proof in the books, why the hell would the Vikings carry the Shield of David, and have names like Kennith the Niger and Andre the Black?
White people were scared of the Vikings because they were big and Black, scary men.
The Vikings were Black, along with a lot of other tribes in Europe you thought were white.
They were black Israelites.
I assume you don't know, the only one spewing crap around here is you.
History Books for Kids is just as bad resources as Wikipedia.
