BARBARIANS!
Barbarians were not "Africans" but were Europeans to contemporaneous Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, whom they conquered and enslaved. However, today, ironically, the descendants' of these old, former Barbarians claim as kindred Ancient Greek and Romans as fellow "white," in America and Europe. But "white" is a 17th century stigma made-up in America. In America "savage" and "uncivilized" were epithets applied to Africans and Indians by the true, original European descendants' barbarians' offspring , whose conduct properly marked them as the barbarians' babies, not heirs--as they now falsely claim--of Greece or Rome who admired the Africans: Egyptians, Ethiopians, Moors; and who acquired their letters, numbers, gods, arts, sciences, from the Africans! Arm yourselves with the truth head to toe!
