 JB>> Like everything, there are numerous interpretations. Yours is
 JB>> certainly recognized. Semites do have features in common. If they are
 JB>>  all the same

 MG> Here we have another misconception and you are far from
 MG> being the only one to make it. Semite is the name of a
 MG> group of languages including Hebrew, Arabic, Sanskrit and
 MG> Aramaic. There are two more but they're more obscure and I

 From an old lecture on the subject of Indo European languages.
 Almost 20 years ago.

 Sanskrit is the ancient language of India. It derives further
 back from immigrant waves from the Caucasus mountains, one of
 which went west and gave us a basis for much of European
 languages, and one went to India. Which is why East Indians are
 Caucasians, and English is an "Indo-European" language. The
 prof, an immigrant from India, had learned Sanskrit in college
 in India.

 There are still common words in the languages that, while
 different, still have recognizable similiarities. Such as father
 and mother, which, trying to approximate it, are Patra and
 Matra.

 ...

 JB>> mix of other races, then I see your point. But then again, when
 JB>> referring to color in general, everything begins with red, white,
 JB>> blue, yellow, and/or black (if you recognize it as a color).

 MG> Those are the colors of light not people. The three primary
 MG> colors of light are red, blue and yellow. White is the
 MG> absence of color and black is all colors at the same time.
 MG> These colors obviously don't have anything to do with
 MG> people as people are not light.

 Those are the three primary colors of pigment. For light they
 are red, blue, and green.
