And you don't believe in the co-incidence that both the Niger river and the people of the N-word origins from Africa? Is Niger the aboriginal name of the river or something invented by white imperialists?

Some ethinic groups corespond with lagueges, some (like European groups) don't. An example is the Askabathian Native Americans, they came a few 1000 years later than the rest (which came before 15,000 years ago).

Oerdin, I read that Thais are genetically similar to Tibetans

One of the great things about the internet is one is judged on what one says rather than the colour of one's skin.

Hell no. I only got to thinking that every time I thought about an Apolytoner, I had this image in my head of a pale white dude, between 14 and 25 years of age, who drinks too much Coca Cola, and watches South Park. Then I decided that there must be something wrong with this mental image, and set about finding out. I'm not the least racist, and I strongly object to being called one

dude, Jews aren't mesopotamian. Even the ancient Israelites weren't. There probably were a couple of warlords that came from mesopotamia to control this land, but most of the culture, the language, the ancient alphabete, and whatnot are canaanite.

The Jewish "race" as it were, is an offshoot of the Caucasians that developed in the area now Iraq/Iran.

These are the people that became the ancient Israelites. My dads side of the family fought alongside the Muslims (as many Jews did.. ironically) in the middle ages, when expanding accross North Africa and up into the Iberian peninsula, where they remained until the late 1400's when the inquisition kicked out the Jews. Ended up in Portugese port of Goa in India.

that's very correct, but that happened in a prehistoric era, before the establishment of Jericho. Maybe the biblical story goes back there, MAYBE, but I somehow doubt it.

oh, and Goa?

Azazel: If you are taking the Israelites to mean a people in biblical times, then you are correct. I'm talking antropologically (is that a word? ) and a rough guess would be 10'000-15'000 years (circa end of ice age).

Incidentally, there is evidence that the "Noah's Ark" story has its roots in a catestrophic flood caused when the Med flowed into the Black Sea at the end of the last ice age, about that period. Taken literally, that could mean biblical times.

"Nigger" is a slangy derivative of "Negro." It didn't come into usage until the 18th century.

"Niger" is Latin for "black," of course, but the origins of the name "Niger" for the areas of Africa are thousands of years removed from the word "nigger," and there's certainly no conscious connection.
