[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] . look at alTak he keeps doing the same thing over and over again. Manilius mentions, within a poetically written text, eleven skin complection types. What is the bitch God or something? I digress.. Nowhere does he break down his mentions into "black" and "white" or even arrange them in list form. alTak is being dishonest about this. He posts the latin only and then inserts the alTaky concept that we are looking at a "heirarchy" an inappropriate racially tinged word to apply. Then he takes Manilius mention of eleven skin complections and tries to categorize it into the two part system racial system called "the world is either black or white". as if Manilus did that in the text. He did not. That's alTacky trickery. It's spurious. It's fradualant scholarship and imposes race concepts which people in this forum try to pretend they aren't a part of. this is a bust, So when we look at eleven different shades of people's skin what is the cutoff point that makes one person black and another white? What is the middle within this scale which divides people into "black" and "white" ? There is none the concept is mythological. Lp . [/QB][/QUOTE]
