Entry: Requiem for a Heavyweight Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/requiem_for_a_heavyweight1#722 Post contents: Well, I hate to make scientific distinctions of "Northern" and "Southern" into ethnicity based on the American Experience. America is a false construct and language built on the American construct will be false. America is a plastic, made up country and so the things it does is plastic, and made up. Shouldn't our language derive from the Natural Organic Temporal Order? A German Classicist Karl Otfried Muller in 1839 titles his research on just one segment of the Hellenes, "The History and Antiquities of the Doric Race". Hellenes are divided into numerous supgroups, Ionians and Dorians and Acheans. He uses the word "Race". We have American Indians describe themselves as "Nation" and "Tribe". I don't think there is such a thing as a "White" race--I mean God in the bible didn't divide men by color but by language. Shouldn't we use his defintions and organizational standard? For example, you have the Dorian Race which is part of the Hellenic Race which is part of the Indo-European Race---Right? Or should we say for example, Dorian Tribe, part of the Hellenic Nation, which is part of the Indo-European Race? In our language of Race, we have NO standard, and communication on this subject is becoming increasingly muddled.---Not very scientific nor Western Thought. Sent at: 2008 07 08
