Why White People are Called Caucasian I came across this scholarly video a few years ago and believe that it is very informative! At about the 16:25 minute mark a Black American man gives his viewpoint on his experience when he lived in Moscow about how Caucasians are viewed today in that area. However, my research goes much deeper than this scholarship! Although what I am going to share is not part of this video but I do believe it is very important. For example, in this video it is brought out that the term Caucasians was applied to White people around the modern age of our history. But now, I will share my research. First of all, the term Caucasian may not have referred to skin color. The Original Caucasians were, as the name reveals, ASIAN but they were a mix-bred people. They were Cauca-Asian. The first Caucasians were not White but actually, they were a dark skinned people that developed a culture in the east world in very early times and many of them later migrated down from the Caucasus and the Iberian Peninsula into other areas like India and to also become known as the Cholchians and a distinct Aegyptos people too. I believe that initially, the term 'Cauca' was connected to their culture that revolved around their ancient worship of THE COW. So therefore, the term Cauca-asian referred to their connection to cattle and cow worship.

Two of MY grand parents were fully women. That doesn't make ME a woman does it?

Chev I'd love to view your research to help piece these puzzles together. A few points to make....... It is my understanding that the original Sumerians weren't Chaldeans but a group of Black folks who called themselves "Ug Saggiggas" or Black Headed people. Seems to me there must have been some White folks around for them to distinguish themselves with a name like that...LOL. It is also my understanding that like you said there is a difference between the Original people OF what is now called the Caucasus mountains - and the Caucasians themselves. I agree, the 2 are not the same. Just like there is a difference between the original Arabs (who were Caucasian) and the Original people OF the peninsula of Arabia who were Black. The Original people of the mountains of Central Asia were various shades of Black and Brown and had been there for thousands of years. In fact, it wasn't CALLED the "Caucasus Mountains" until the Caucasians were confined in there and THEN the name was changed to reflect their presence. On top of that..... When the Caucasians were driven up into those mountains, battalions of Black soldiers were sent up to surround those mountains and "seal" them in to keep them from escaping into the Black civilizations. They are the "angels" or "watchers" referred to in the Book of Enoch. They are the "Cherubim" referred to in the Book of Genesis who guarded the way after Adam was driven out. They are also ancestors of the Colchian people referred to in Herodotus'' works and other ancient works mentioning the Black Ethiopians of the Caucasus.

Great Britain wasn't built on slavery. America benefited from 400 years of it. Absolutely. Beyond having the most powerful military on the planet, there's a reason the United States of America (USA) is #1 super power and folks from all over want to come here. Despite its warts and open sores, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else on planet other than the USA. I know the USA can be better and atone for its greatest sin of slavery in the form of a reparations package for FBA/ADOS.😎

richardmurray Well, logical thinking isn't necessarily a-religious in and of itself. But the only way to SINCERELY be apart of a religion is to be a fundamentalist in it. If you TRULY believe that your religion came from God....it would seem you would obey it down to it's finest detail and doctrine. So now if you are a LOGICAL thinker who examines all information that comes your way, then it would seem that this method of thinking would get in the way of believing and unquestionably accepting ALL of the doctrine of your particular religion that you believe came from God. .....unless a person was part of a religion that actually believe and accepts that their religion has mistakes in it and can use correction. I don't know of any religion like that.

Chev The Caucasus is no where near Egypt so, again, you are referencing two different stories. I know. He was sent FROM Kemet/Egypt up to the Caucasus. And Baal worship itself would be the key to Moses never doing that. He had an intense hatred for White Supremacy. He married Zippora, a Black Cushitic women and would never take her to teach White people anything. Musa/Moses had several wives and also did many things like being a war General before he was commissioned to go up to the Caucasus with a group of people for that mission. They also took scuba diving gear with them...lol. But I'll leave that alone because this thread isn't about Musa/Moses. Mel One of the challenges with this discussion is the talk of divisions based on skin color. White is a fairly new description starting around the 17th century. In fact, there's a video circulating on social media of an Egyptian man not understanding why Immigration wanted him to identify as white - when, as he said, to paraphrase, his native description is cultural/religious affiliation and then nationality. This is why I actually choose to use the words "Caucasian" and "African" when referencing race...instead of "White" or "Black". They are more accurate. Especially given that few people on the planet are literally White or Black. The problem with identifying many Egyptians today is manifold.... 1. Most of them identify as Arab which the U.S. calls "White" despite the fact that Arabs literally come in many colors and races. Most of the Arabs of Sudan are African while most of the Arabs or Syria are Caucasian....lol. 2. In Arabic culture, they only consider the race of the FATHER. Not the mother. So the mother could be a jet Black African or even an Asian and the child can come out looking however they want but as long as the father is an "Arab" than that child will be legally considered Arab. And it's been like this for thousands of years. So you can only imagine back in ancient Africa, they would have identified by tribes/spiritual/nationality/. In fact, when I went to Rome over ten years ago, I realized it was a gathering place for all nationalities; Aset and Heru (Black Madonna and Jesus) graced the pantheon - even the Trevi fountain is flanked by Greek "gods" when you'd think you'd see Roman deities on display. But I digress. The Romans took their deities from the Greeks. The original Greek (gods) were Black Beings. They even displayed them in statues and on pottery as Black. In Rome and the Vatican as well as other parts of Europe they have pictures and statues of Black people that they worship and ascribe various names to. Much of their Pantheon consists of the original Black people who were sent up from Kemet into the Caucasus to civilize them, and this was passed down generation after generation until they became myths and legends among the Caucasians who left the mountains and went their separate ways like the Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, Anglos, Jews, etc... When you were in Rome did you get to see the statue of Romulus and Remus sucking on the breasts of a wolf? There's history behind that.

That's because the prison systems around the nation aren't designed to actually punish criminals and deter crime. They are primarily designed to WAREHOUSE people. The biggest fear the average person has of prison isn't the confinement or "punishment" they will receive from the state....but from OTHER INMATES. The criminal justice system in the U.S. is primarily designed to get as many Black and Brown people (especially men) off the streets so that there is less competition for jobs, food, and other social services. The CLAIM is that resources are limit and that there is only so much in the U.S. to go around.....so they'd rather them going to White and "productive" Black and Latino people. Now they've graduated from warehousing people and storing them up in jails and prisons to just killing them out right. Now that the prisons have been privatized, they really don't want people in prison unless they can work and produce good.

Hey Brother Prof D!!!😊 Good to see you! You know, we indigenous, aboriginal people never called them "white" until they started calling themselves white. We never said they were supreme until they began to call themselves supreme. Words have power. It is better to point out what oppressors have done to a group of people than to allow those offenders to escape justice by hiding under a term that they themselves invented. Check out what Indigenous Americans called colonizers - it definitely wasn't "white." One tribe called them out for what they did. And I agree with that as one way to keep their actions in the forefront. In my family, we describe people by the color of their complexion. And not once does "white" come up as a term we use. In fact, I just realized even my sorority sisters described my firstborn as "beige," to indicate she was her daddy's baby. LOL. Read my book, and you'll see I described my characters by their hue. But levity aside, my point is our ancestors understood the power of words, and so do those who seek to oppress. y do.
