Today, the idea of Aryan endorses the absurd belief in white, Anglo-Saxon supremacy. Research shows a French aristocrat (de Gobineau), and a British-German philosopher named Chamberlain, defined Aryans as a superior white race.
However, there are many ideas and speculations revealed by the Durants’ history of civilization.
In the Durrants’ research, the word Aryan was originally used as a descriptive word for the Brahmin class in ancient India. The Durants noted the word Aryan in their history of civilization meant “noble” or “distinguished”. The criteria of India’s Brahmin class are reprehensible to one who believes in “equality of opportunity” professed by America but not practiced by Americans.
Class identity in ancient India does deny the truth of equal opportunity but not based on the color of one’s skin, but on ritual status, occupation, and social custom.
ICE’s accosting citizens because of the difference in the color of their skin is reprehensible. Of course, that has been the criteria for American Blacks before and after the Civil War.
Emigrant injustice is compounded by the failure to adjudicate immigration status before deportation.
The Administration’s use of force is a reminder of Nazi Germany when Jewish German citizens were being rounded up for believed difference and/or opposition to the government.
This is a picture of the beginning of Jewish discrimination in Nazi Germany with broken windows of businesses owned by Jews.
ICE arrests in America based on his non-white appearance.
Being able to easily identify difference based on physical appearance amplifies the probability of discrimination.
THREE ASIAN AMERICANS BRUTALLIZED IN 2025 BY AMERICAN RACISTS.
What has happened to the principle of “separation of powers” meant to provide a system of checks and balances on the Legislative and Executive branches of the American government? Have we abandoned Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances, power sharing between federal and state governments, the Bill of Rights, Judicial Review, and Electoral Safeguards? The idea of our Constitution is to stop a single branch of the government from dominating our system of government. Have we become a third world country? Today’s “NO KINGS” turn-out offers hope that others agree with the sentiment of this disappointed supporter of American Democracy.
Where is the Supreme Court in this injustice?
Arresting people based on their appearance without judicial review puts America on the slippery slope of authoritarian tyranny.
