[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [QB] Doug have posted some pretty interesting links with a wealth of new info for us to look into and you respond with the same picture spam of Albino vs non Albino..come on Lioness get into the meat of what he posted will ya?? Yes Doug I found especially the tall old Black man at the end of the vid is reminiscent of the Black Mongolian below [IMG]http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Images_Thrace/scroll_black_2.jpg[/IMG] Interesting and yet appalling was the Yi system of slavery based of bloodlines and color and the Black being the nobles. Below is a discussion from one of the links [QUOTE]Nuohuo," meaning "black Yi," was the highest rank of society. Being the slave-owning class, Nuohuo made up 7 per cent of the total population. The black Yis controlled people of the other three ranks to varying degrees, and owned 60 to 70 per cent of the arable land and a large amount of other means of production. The black Yis were born aristocrats, claiming their blood to be "noble" and "pure," and forbidding marriages with people of the other three ranks. They despised physical labour, lived by exploiting the other ranks and ruled the slaves by force. "Qunuo," meaning "white Yi," was the highest rank of the ruled and made up 50 per cent of the population. This rank was an appendage to the black Yis personally and, as subjects under the slave system, they enjoyed relative independence economically and could control "Ajia" and "Xiaxi" who were inferior to them. "Qunuo" lived within the areas governed by the black Yi slave owners, had no freedom of migration, nor could they leave the areas without the permission of their masters. They had no complete right of ownership when disposing of their own property, but were subjected to restrictions by their masters. They had to pay some fees to their masters when they wanted to sell their land. The property of a dead person who had no offspring went to his master. Though the black Yi slave owners could not kill, sell or buy Qunuo at will, they could transfer or present as a gift the power of control over Qunuo. They could even give away Qunuo as the compensation for persons they had killed and use Qunuo as stakes. So, Qunuo had no complete personality of their own, though they were not slaves. "Ajia" made up one third of the population, being rigidly bound to black Yi or Qunuo slaveowners, who could freely sell, buy and kill them. "Xiaxi" was the lowest rank, accounting for 10 per cent of the population. They had no property, personal rights or freedom, and were regarded as "talking tools." They lived in damp and dark corners in their masters' houses, and at night had to curl up with domestic animal to keep warm. Supervised by masters, Xiaxi did heavy housework and farm work all the year round. They wore rags and tattered sheepskins, and lived on wild roots and leftovers. Slave owners inflicted all sorts of torture on those who were rebellious, fettered them with iron chains and wooden shackles to prevent them from escaping. Like domestic animals, Xiaxi could be freely disposed of as chattels, ordered about, insulted, beaten up, bought and sold, or killed as sacrifices to gods. [/QUOTE] http://anthrocivitas.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4519 http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=255874 [QUOTE] [b]If Laos is the only country that still distinguishes ethnic Laotians from Laotian nationals in general, then please explain why Thai people use ethnic Chinese and Laotian to represent Thai media instead of their own Siamese people? Obviously, ethnic Laotians and Chinese do not look like Siamese of Thailand so evidently Thailand is also aware of its multi-ethnic population. The difference is that Thailand is ashamed of its own Siamese people because of their dark Thai complexion in favor of lighter-skinned ethnic Laotians and Chinese.[/b] [/QUOTE]This line of discussion is also reminiscent of multiple discussions we have here about folks of African decent.
