Do you think Greeks were originally mostly black?

[Larry Lobster]

I ain't saying I'm black?

No but you wish you were black, that's why you're in this forum.

OP is using this topic as a vehicle to be allowed to say The N Word and engage in Black issues/topics without blowback.

"I'm Greek so I've got Black ancestry why can't I say the word?"

"I have African ancestry why can't I have a voice about Black Issues?"


Get this garbage out of here

They're mad as fukk lmfao

Using euro-centric indo-European theories that didn't even consider Egyptians as black to deny the truth and taking personal shots at me like sayin I wanna be black by posting a thread claiming if Greeks were ORIGINALLY not Aryan or white like we've taught by euro-centric historians

Originally doesn't mean black now :face palm:

No where in this thread or have I ever claimed I was black or not white, Greece originally being black doesn't mean I am

I never said you said you were Black I said you're claiming to have Black/African Ancestry in order to get a pass. In this case access to The N word and black topics/issues.

You've already exposed yourself with this post

I'm not saying I'm black, I consider myself white but ancestry wise and DNA wise Greeks have more in common with traits most common in Africans (Benin-sickle cell and Vitamin D deficiancy, which I am both) Than any other Europeans or group, that's what influenced me to learn about this and question the theory of Greeks were even originally Aryan.

You know you're White but now want to play up to having "Black Ancestry" for certain situations.
"I'm White but I do have Black/African ancestry so why can't I speak on it"

But how did Aryan-Greeks even come to become Aryan in the first place if we all migrated out of Africa? The only sense that makes is the theory of "mutation" that created the white race.

There's plenty of Greeks who don't even consider themselves white, I do because that's how I've been raised. Greek immigrants assimilated into white supremacy but they were originally not considered white

Indo-European migrations - Wikipedia

Greeks are not 'Aryan'. But they are likely related to the Indo-Aryans which migrated to what is now Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh thousands of years ago.

Similar to how the Bantu left a homeland around the border between modern-day Nigeria and Cameroon, Proto-Indo-Europeans migrated from somewhere in Eurasia to different parts of that continent.

These threads always upset certain posters

Yep somebody always gotta whine if you discuss black/African world history in TLR.

Exactly what is the difference between Aryan, Anglo, & Caucasian? They all just mean "White" to me.

'Aryan' is a pseudo-scientific term 19th century racists used to describe white people. If there are any 'Aryans' today, then that label would belong to Indo-Aryan speakers like Persians, Pashtuns and Hindustanis.

Funnily enough:

from Middle Persian Ērān "(land) of the Iranians," genitive plural of ēr- "an Iranian," from Old Iranian*arya- (Old Persian ariya-, Avestan airya-) "Iranian", from Indo-Iranian *arya- or *ārya-, a self-designation, perhaps meaning "compatriot" (see Aryan).

Anglos refer to English speaking Europeans from the Isle of Britain and I guess it can loosely apply to their descendants.

'Caucasian' is another term that 19th century racists invented to apply to Europeans and people who they deem have a European skull structure like Arabs, Persians, Indians and even people from the Horn of Africa.

 

[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

"White" is a socially constructed term. For example. Take Arabs. 150 years ago, they'd be deemed 'caucasians' - but they are not 'white'...but if a Lebanese or Levantine Arab came up to you and told you they were from Sicily or Iberia/Greece, wouldn't you believe them?

White supremacy changes with the times. Who knows, maybe Latinos will be assimilated into white-ness over the course of this century. Maybe African-Americans will take on a Brazilian perspective and drop the 'One Drop' rule. Maybe Arabs will no longer be classified as 'white' in the US census.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Greeks were and are not aryans.

Please carry on.

 

[Orange cream shake]

All of this to validate you not being racist " my ancestors were black so I'm down blah blah blah "

What do you think about the studies that studies that say that there was no outside migrations into the subcontinent until the last 500 years or so?
