I don't believe in the concept of "race". That being said, the first Human-Beings were probably dark-skinned anyways, since lighter skin and lighter eyes and lighter hair all seem to revolve around genetic mutations that eventually came about along the line.
That being said, general society has been conditioned to perceive "whiteness" as superior due to the racial paradigm that has been deliberately perpetrated from the top throughout history. This "whiteness" ideology is of course, part of this "chosenness / chosen people " religious belief system which in turn, has extending branches like "Manifest Destiny", "Aryanism" and other countless expansionist / colonialist / imperialist driven-motives.
Almost clearly, this whole Zionist chosenness ideology seems to revolve around the ideal of a "white messiah". Not surprisingly, the real people behind Zionism are "white" British lords and operate heavily under the Corporation of London. The Rothschild branch is a significant player in this. It's also not a coincidence that Britain really means Covenant Land.
Some people in the net also like to argue that Jesus was "Black". I believe that argument is a diversion. Debating about Jesus' "race" distracts from the bigger topic of whether Jesus even existed or not. Wasn't the Jesus character a remake of some sort? Yeah he probably was.
The only way racism can be abolished is for Humanity as a whole to ditch the very concept of "race". The idea of "race" paves the way for racist ideologies and racist religions and hence, racist politics, racist scientific paradigms and so on and so forth. The pyramidal racist paradigm which is responsible for conditioning human thought throughout history only exists because those who are in power believe in the concept of "race" and have formed a certain ideology from that concept a very long time ago.
