Sir, perhaps you are not fully aware of your history as you should be. LISTEN, CHRISTIANS START THEIR HISTORY WITH THE COMING OF ABRAHAM...OTHER PEOPLE START THIER HISTORY WHEN THEY SEE FIT. Africans/Blacks start their history tens of thousands of years before there were others in existance. The Australian aborigins begin their history in the "Dreamtime" which is tens of thousands of years ago.

Now you say the original peope of Iran were not Black, you are very WRONG!!! THE ORIGINAL PEOPE OF IRAN WERE THE BLACK CUSHITES...IN FACT, THEY WERE THE ORIGINIAL PEOPLE OF THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST BEFORE THE VERY FIRST GROUP OF WHITES CALLED "GUTITES" INVADED SUMER, ELAM, SUSIA WHICH WERE BLACK CUSHITE KINGDOMS AND CITY-STATES.

The original civilization in ancient Sumer and Elam were Black. The ancient Sumerians and Elamites, are both descendants of Cush and are represented as Black in ancient writings (see http://community.webtv.net/barnubianempire ).

As far as the Caucasian peoples of today's Iran and Iraq, they began appearing in the region from two areas. One group came from the nomadic 'Aryans" ( hence "Iran"), the other came from the nomadic Semites. Both were Caucasian (white) or partially white. They invaded the region and after centuries of war with the Blacks, there was mixing and the Assyrian type was created, from that type came the various groups in the Middle East. AS A MATTER OF FACT, DR. VAMOS THOTH, A UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII PROFESSOR, EXPLAINED IN THE GERMAN MAGAZINE "SYNYSIS EDOFON" HAMBURG; 1997: THAT ALL THE LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN THE MIDDLE EAST, ASIA AND EAST ASIA, AS WELL AS THE AMERICAS HAS CONNECTIONS TO AFRICA'S LANGUAGES.

The ancient language of the original people of Iran and Iraq was not Arabic of Farsi, it was Elamite and Cushite. The only people who have a language related to the Elimate language that is being spoken today are the Black Dravidians of Sri-Lanka, many who are racially akin to Africans. The other group are the pure Africans of Southern Ethiopia and Northern Kenya who speak the language called "Iraqwu" which is one of the mother tongues of all Semitic languages.

Of course the Persians, Omanis and Arabs did take slaves from Africa and brought them to the Middle East, however, ALL BLACKS IN THE MIDDLE EAST DID NOT ARRIVE DURING SLAVERY. THEY HAD ALWAYS BEEN IN THE REGION, AND THAT IS A HISTORICAL FACT.

In fact, in the 800's A.D., THE BLACK Zanj of Bagdad had a very bloody and effective revolution against the Arab slavemasters. The Black Zanj wiped out many legions of Arab troops and held parts of Iraq for many years. IT TOOK THE ENTIRE ARAB ARMIES FROM MOROCCO TO THE GULF TO STOP THAT REBELLION. AFTER THE ZANJ REBELLION, NO MORE BLACKS WERE IMPORTED AS PLANTATION SLAVES, BUT SOME WERE STILL IMPORTED AND ARE BEING VIOLATED IN SUDAN UP TO THIS VERY DAY...MAINLY BLACK WOMEN.

So, to those of us who know our history and that of others, WE ARE WELL AWARE THAT THE ANCIENT PEOPLE OF IRAN, THE ELAMITES, SUSIANS AND OTHERS WERE BLACKS. In fact, there is evidence of thier prehistoric place of origins. ALSO, THESE BLACKS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BEGINNING OF CIVILIZATION IN CHINA AS WELL (SEE "Susu Economics: The History of Pan-African Trade, Commerce, Money and Wealth," pub. by www.1stbooks.com 1stBooks Library, 2595 Vernal Pike, Bloomington, Indiana, 47404 U.S.A ) ALSO SEE, 'African Presence in Early Asia," Van Sertima, R. Rashidi, et al..Transaction Publishers, New Bruinswick, NJ U.S.A.

In retrospect, Blacks are the original people of Iran and these were not slaves who were brought to the region from Christian times to the present. THESE WERE THE ANCIENT BLACK DESCENDANTS OF CUSH, who brought Black civilization to West and East Asia. The original civilization in Iran was that of the Elamites and Susians, both Black nations who are also mentioned in the Bible and are descendants of Cush.
