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

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.
