This is a little off topic for me, but I just wanted to write about something I used to think about a lot as a kid. My parents were always putting me in all or nearly white schools and leaving me to swim on my own and survive in their midst. I used to wonder about them and I was really curious as to how white people came to be, because in my mind, I couldn't figure out what their origins were compared to black people. I mean everything has to have an origin. The way they educate children in school, they leave out vital pieces of the puzzle. I knew instinctively that mankind had one source and that white people developed out of the black people---this is simple arts and crafts---no one can get the color black out of the color white. The color scheme develops naturally and without a break. Icouldn't get the idea out of my mind, ignorant though that so many African Americans are about basic history, that whites as a whole were somehow missing something that basically defined one as human. But after reading this book, (which is still in print and causing a stir in academia) I finally began to understand the scheme of things and seeing that it wasn't all in my head, but there were actual facts to back up what I was already thinking.
Just today, I was searching and cam upon this site:
This is an excerpt from it---
WHENCE COMETH THE PALE ONE
There are many theories which seek to explain the reason for the switch in skin color of the Europeans. The theories proposed range from the Ice-Age effect theory, to those of miscegenation and others that suggest malnutrition. In all these theories lies the admission that the pale skin is a relatively recent genetic modification that occurred in originally Black Europe.
The whole skin color thing is sign about other things that are modified or perhaps missing, although it is not the only factor. I think the whites today are different from the whites of earlier times, the whites today are mostly nothing more than half breeds, or mullatoes, or mixed people running around claiming to be white. Sometimes, I can hardly tell the difference between these so-called whites and many African Americans.
This is me just musing, so don't take offense.
