I am not a person to get mingled in historic facts rather I like to draw understanding from various historic chronicles I study. In the last couple of years I’ve developed a particular interest in the evolution of the European man searching for the clear distinction between the Europeans themselves throughout history where a certain group of people due to their lack of spiritual maturity worsened our planet and the other received the punch in the gut and carried on in humbleness and straightness. I searched for this because I always knew it existed originating from tribes of west slavs myself. Of course this is within the frames of my physical existence yet I always felt that the physical reflected the spiritual so there always is a deeper purpose. I wasn’t born in North America so when I came here I noticed the blatant racial categorizes and how paler people are subcategorized into Whites and Caucasians. Now a lot of people automatically associate this with the Western European man, on the other hand you have the term ‘caucasian’ where it indicates that the most ideal group of people to indentify whites would be ‘caucasian’ coming from the Caucasus mountains and the culture that developed there originated with the Indo-Europeans perhaps. In both cases the terms are incomplete wherein we have to consider the totality of the racial reality to draw up final conclusions.
With that introduction I’d like to go back 5-7 thousand years ago (approx. 3000-5000BC) to a crucial time in history where we had already flourishing civilizations (Kamit, Sumer, Indus Kush, Caral) and more newer Indo-European cultures coming into existence and physical influence over the planet at the same time. I think it must have been jealousy, lust, greed, envy that led to further invasions and destructions and pillaging of the older civilizations who proved to have existed for a long time in moderate peace with each other and the planet. This time also coincidentally marks the birth of European culture. I’ve thought that these peoples were somehow for whatever reason unsatisfied with themselves or maybe struggling mentally on a collective level maybe with a harsh environment or some form of harsh fact of life (consider this my own theory).
I’d like to take it back to the very cultural beginnings of the European culture. I will go phase by phase concisely braking down each era helping myself with online encyclopedias. Ancient Scandinavia and northern Europe was culturally active during the Ertobelle culture and the Linear Pottery culture in Europe (5000-4000BC).
This was a time where people relied on fishing in the north, farming in more compatible southern environments and on the use of basic tools and weapons. They must have led a pretty basic life.
With more historic evolution the Europeans unified in the north and south to form a massive so called Corded Ware culture.
The characteristic pattern of Corded Ware culture *3200 BC/2900 BC to ca. 2300 BC/1800 BC), involved corded ware pottery, livestock and battleaxes. In summary, Corded Ware does not represent a single monolithic entity, but rather a diffusion of technological and cultural innovations of different, contemporaneous peoples, living in close proximity to each other and leaving different archaeological remains. (Wikipedia)
From this point people of Europe started localizing and growing roots within their own cultural circles further forming cultures like the Trzciniec culture existing around 1700BC in central Europe (modern Poland) and the ancient Greek culture in the south of Europe. In the Trzciniec culture they put a lot of emphasis on burial grounds of the deceased cremating or inhumating the deceased whereas the early Greeks were involved in borrowing knowledge from the Egyptians and Anatolian cultures and forming their own mythologies and philosophies. Now scholars seem to agree that Ancient Greece is the cradle of European thought, I say which European thought?
Further down the road the Romans took over into the ADs with Christianity. Various knighthoods were established during these days and thru war and inquisition they were able to get ahold of sacred ancient knowledge of original cultures to form their elite “religions”. Of course it goes deeper than this but I just want to shorten my short essay to basics. At this time the Franks and the Germanic people including the Saxons and Anglos started doing their thing developing into what we know today as Western Europe. In central and eastern Europe the Slavs developed their culture and these were divided into eastern, western and southern Slavs. I say this is important to know because the Slavs seemed to have a different approach to life than let’s say the Greeks/Romans/Germanics did. This resulted in a different way of thinking in Europe itself. The west and south Slavs felt the wicked blow of Europe a lot through the germans (Germanic culture) and Russians (east Slavic and Caucasian culture). This in certain cases led them to some form of higher humbleness and sense and appreciation of life.
So there it is right there, my basic write out of the history of Europe and how it relates to how “white” people were categorized and how it is a very limiting term if one does not know which white man they are referring to. Judging by these historic facts we know there was a lot of turmoil in Europe too and certain nations were oppressed while others more powerful were the oppressors as they did to the rest of the world. I don’t say all this to justify anything or disprove or argue anything rather I find genuine interest in how the European man evolved and the particular regions and cultures of Europe that did the most destructing and evil to our planet. It is important to distinguish exactly where the bullshit happened.
Peace my people! Add on...
