PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE TERMS USED TODAY; WHY THEY ARE USED AND THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE NOT MINORITIES!
The notion of "white people" or a "white race" as a large group of populations contrasting with "black", "colored" or non-white originates in the 17th century.
Pragmatic description of populations as "white" in reference to their skin color predates this notion and is found in Greco-Roman ethnography and other ancient sources.
The assignment of positive and negative connotations of white and black date to the classical period in a number of Indo-European languages, but these differences were not applied to skin color per se.
Religious conversion was described figuratively as a change in skin color.
Similarly, the Rigveda uses krsna tvac "black skin" as a metaphor for irreligiosity.
Those that read the bible no that it states different from the Rigveda as those that did not do right in the sight of God where made a leper and turned white!
The point being, differences where highlighted so that people would focus on those instead of the plethora of things we have in common as humans!
Divide and conquer tactics have been and are still being used!
These divisions and the mis-classification of groups are being done to screw numbers that show those classified as white are not dwindling as fast as they truly are!
There is a real fear of genetic ahnililation for some!
Check your local jail and the wrist bands they use during booking... They book spanish speaking people in as white unless you are darker like a Cuban or Dominican.
I say all of the above to say on a planet with > 7 billion people on it and approximately 1.2 Billion can be classified as white, if you are African, Asian, Indian, Native American (North & South), Polynesian, Australian or a person of color from anywhere on the planet... YOU ARE NOT A MINORITY!
NOW LOOK AT THE WORLD AND SEE HOW DARKER PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET ARE LIVING... IT'S TIME TO WORK TOGETHER AND FLIP THE SCRIPT 🤨
