Honkey

Aphrodite wasn't far from beng balck considering that Greece is pretty close
to north Africa. I watched a (Nova??) program once that basically classed
ALL peoples into 3 groups according to their features...caucasiod, mongoloid
and negroid - basically all yellow/red peoples fell into mongoloid
(including native americans), caucasoid was light skin, light haired peoples
from nrothern areas, and negroid was all the darker skinned, darker
yed/haired. This means that Aussie aborigines are in the same group with
black Africans, and Indian/Pakistanis are int he same with Chinese. There is
a cross over where they blend too, where Sicilians/Egyptians have both
Negroid and Caucasiod features, etc. You could basically center negroid
peoples in the continent of Africa, Caucasiods in Europe and mongoloid in
Mongolia/China and then watch the features blend as you go between them,
such as when you go west from China the features get coarser and darker
where people of India have mostly a mongolid bone structure and build but
get the darker skin and heavier/darker hair and eyes. I thought about it
after that and it actually makes sense. What doesn't make sense is our US
reference to "African Americans" - that basically means anyone that is a
native of Africa that is now a US resident or has roots/heritage in Africa.
There is an awful high percentage of "Africans" in Africa that are of
British/German/Dutch/etc blood but were actually born on Africa, making them
Africans. Go figure our modern day "political correctness" - it's absolutely
incorrect.

The first time I heard the term "honkey" was on "The Jeffersons"... a
favorite *classic* tv show... :)

P.S. I was watching an episode a few weeks ago... Their British
neighbor has a new girlfriend. So he is doing poetry and mentions
"Aphrodite".. So George say "Aphrodite!! Are you going out with a black
girl now?!?"
