Where did the word Aryan have its first origin?According to Wikapedia and a collaborated host of historians
the termonology which today is commonly referred to as white,had its earlier and simuliar meaning as aryanian.
It is a Hindu religious/cultural that was later by white supremacists to justify the suppression and ultimate genocide of so-called "lesser peoples" (inc Jews, gypsies, the mentally and physically handicapped, Africans, most Asians and anyone with a dark skin). It was the aim of Nazism to rule over as many of these as were needed to serve the so-called master race, and eliminate the rest.
.
The original term Aryan applied to the peoples who entered India from the north between 6000 BC and 4000 BC.
They were part of the enormous Indo-European language group (which includes the Iranians, Afghanis Pakistanis, Greeks, Latin speakers, Slavs, Celts and Germanic Speakers). They were, like Europeans, of lighter skin than the original inhabitants of India, Aryan (like meant "noble/separate/special", but it is clear from DNA, that some mixing between the groups took place.
Only the upper levels of Indian society were required to refrain from intermarriage with the Dravidians, which probably explains why upper class Hindus (especially the Brahmin priestly caste) are considerably fairer than the lower castes. It probably also explains the origin of the caste system itself, as "varna" (the word for caste) actually means "colour".
The term Aryan had ideas of superiority about it, it was never used as an excuse to commit genocide.
. The skin color was an important factor in the caste system. The meaning of the word "Varna" is not class or status but skin color.
Between the outcasts and the three Aryan Varnas there is the Sudra Varna who are the simple workers of the society. The Sudras consisted of two communities. One community was of the locals who were subdued by the Aryans and the other were the descendants of Aryans with locals. In Hindu religious stories there are many wars between the good Aryans and the dark skinned demons and devils. The different Gods also have dark skinned slaves. There are stories of demon women trying to seduce good Aryan men in deceptive ways. There were also marriages between Aryan heroes and demon women. Many believe that these incidences really occurred in which, the gods and the positive heroes were people of Aryan origin. And the demons, the devils and the dark skinned slaves were in fact the original residence of India whom the Aryans coined as monsters, devil, demons and slaves.
The Night of the perfect storm of which was a resurgence of the ignorance,evil and arrogance of the earlier ideologies of indo-eurpoean ancestry, came in the early 1500 of our common era.While Englanda Afrikian slave trade was already established as well as indentured servants class.It was not until after the American revolution .and establishment of America a independant country,that th slavary was taken to a new level and woven into Americas foundation this went on for about 310 years.
Slavery began in the English colonies in first generation. Colonial accounts record that in 1619, a Dutch ship arrived at Jamestown, and "sold us twenty negars." By the time of the Revolutionary War, there were nearly 700,000 slaves, in a total population of 2.5 million. In 1860, as the war that would free them approached, there were almost four million slaves.
When the Constitution was adopted, it included a complicated formula for counting people in order to decide how many Representatives each state should have. The figure to be used was "determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons." The "three-fifths of all other persons" was a reference within the Constitution itself to the "peculiar institution" of slavery.
Americans found it very hard to choose between the ideal of equality and the reality of slavery or rather free or paid labor.The Name given To the slaves 'Negro was a latin word meaning Death,dark foul and inferior.As Night is concidered inferior to day.The light skinned eurpoeans adapted the superior title of White and imposed the inferior name Negro or Black upon their captives
"Please concider the folowing quote from Dr Martin Luther King
Even semantics have conspired to make that which is black seem ugly and degrading. In Roget's Thesaurus there are 120 synonyms for blackness and at least 60 of them are offensive, as for example, blot, soot, grim, devil and foul. And there are some 134 synonyms for whiteness and all are favorable, expressed in such words as purity, cleanliness, chastity and innocence. A white lie is better than a black lie. The most degenerate member of a family is a "black sheep." Ossie Davis has suggested that maybe the English language should be reconstructed so that teachers will not be forced to teach the Negro child 60 ways to despise himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of inferiority, and the white child 134 ways to adore himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of superiority.
The tendency to ignore the Negro's contribution to American life and to strip him of his personhood, is as old as the earliest history hooks and as contemporary as the morning's newspaper. To upset this cultural homicide, the Negro must rise up with an affirmation of his own Olympian manhood. Any movement for the Negro's freedom that overlooks this necessity is only waiting to be buried. As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. No Lincolnian Emancipation Proclamation or Johnsonian Civil Rights Bill can totally bring this kind of freedom. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own Emancipation Proclamation. And, with a spirit straining toward true self-esteem, the Negro must boldly throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and say to himself and to the world, "I am somebody. I am a person. I am a man with dignity and honor. " I am in favor of doing away with the whole race system,It is the root of evil In our world.
