Uncertain grounds
This thread is full of nonsensical babble. :upsetfavre:

Im so lost in the flurry of posts that Im starting to think one argument being postulated was based on whites "whitewashing" history, thus Buddha was black. Please tell me this isn't the case. :weirdo:

You peeped what? You dudes are idiots.

@lotty I still need you to answer these questions:

You equated "African traits" with the lower castes. If the Buddha had "African traits" then how could he be a member of upper-caste society?

Do you believe the caste system is based on race/color?

Why do you associate Dravidians with the lower castes?

I'm trying to have a discussion you keep ignoring my questions and linking websites with outdated and inaccurate information.

In India you don't identify someone's caste by what they look like or what color their skin is, you do it by their family name and/or occupation. There are dark skinned Brahmins throughout India as well as fair skinned dalits and it's been that way for over 4000 years.

You can disagree but you'll have to explain why. Posting links to books written by eurocentric cacs over a century ago isn't going to cut it.

Doing what I stated in my previous post. Thank you for proving me right AGAIN. Those are just quick links, do the rest yourself. And only one was old, and gave that because it was from an actual person who seen this with their own eyes. But you dont like it so you ignore it lime I thought you would.

The source of the caste system was based on skin color and a certain group of people in its essence...... fukk it, believe what you want. You really need to learn deeper about things. I feel like Im arguing with a child who only sees things the way a child would. And the caste system is fairly new when looking how old the so called hindu culture is.

Anyway for others, this is a good read about the buddha. The whole website is thought provoking:

The Buddhist

Another, who led a religious movement to relieve suffering, was a prince named "Siddhartha Gautama", later to be known as the "Buddha" (Great Teacher). Siddhartha was born into the Sakya tribe at the foot of the Himalayan Mountains, just north of the Ganges Valley. Siddhartha lived in a small city named "Kapilavastu" (in what is now southern Nepal). He is reported to have seen his native city over-run and its people butchered by the Arians. The Sakya tribe was under Arian suzerainty, but had retained it's independence in exchange for a tribute paid to Arian overlords. The Sakya tribe had aristocrats and commoners, and according to legend, Siddhartha was a prince.

According to legend, in his youth, Siddhartha had been sheltered from the ugliness and poverty all around him. But when he was twenty nine - around 534 B.C. - he decided to become a wanderer. Apparently Siddhartha withdrew from a world, that he saw as inhospitable to conquered royalty such as he. Though he was disturbed by the Arian's, he was also fascinated by the Arian people who had destroyed his state and its traditions. The legend created by his followers, describes Siddhartha as having become a wanderer, in order to learn about human existence. He became an ascetic and abused his body by hardly eating. After accepting failure, in his quest to gain understanding of human existence, Siddhartha began eating better, and he began devising what he believed were better solutions to human misery.

Heres something elese to read:
http://proudblackbuddhist.org/Dr. Iniyan Elango.htm

T

A History of India, observes as follows:"The main stress in the ordering of castes appears to have been the division of society into brahmans and non-bramans (in Tamil Nadu). Among the non-brahmans there is as compared to north India, little mention of the `Kshatriyas' and the Vysyas' but the `shudras' are prominent. The `Shudras' were divided (in south India) into the clean Shudras whose touch was not polluting and the unclean Shudras (Panchamas-Dalits) who were debarred from entry into the temple. The picture which emerges suggests that the Brahmans were in control of powerful positions and that the non-Brahmans were more or less working for them. The Brahmans naturally emphasized caste loyalties and caste assemblies, since this would prevent a wider basis of unity developing amongst the the non-brahmans (Tamils)."The above phenomena is peculiar to the region of Tamil Nadu where the Dravidians have been pitted against fellow Dravidians by the cunning and wily Brahmans who spearhead the Hindu caste religion. In the rest of India all caste Hindus, where upper or lower caste, are all Caucasoid and brown skinned. Dalits are all starkly differentiated by their indigenous features and black skin. It is not uncommon to find fair skinned people among Dalits, just like some fair skinned African-Americans. But it should be observed that even fair skinned Dalits are differentiated by their indigenous features, while Hindus whose colour varies from dark brown to ivory are easily differentiated by their caucasoid features.Sources: Without Malice: The Truth About India, by Iniyan Elango
