‘Caucasian’,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SAINT ! (1049 hits)

"The truth is that the term ‘Caucasian’ has little or no meaning as it is now used.
The word itself is a conventional term given at the first by Blumenbach to designate
what he considered the highest type of the human family, shown by a skull from
Mount Caucasus. When we attempt to trace those who would claim the name as an
expression of their superiority we find the type has disappeared. There is no pure
specimen now in existence. And if we ask what is ‘white’ we can only say, ‘that it is a term used to designate the absence of color’—that is all, and no sign whatever of ‘race integrity.’ We have already indicated that science and investigation point to the fact that primitive man was not white. It is no new theory, but it has seemed convenient for the Saxon to let it rest as much as possible in discrete oblivion. Bishop F. M. Turner of the African Methodist Episcopal church has often promulgated it in his own inimitable way, and Moncure P. Conway has also declared that the white people of the world today are only a reflex leprosy and that the natural color is brown or black."
