Yes, the Romans were swarthy.
It is even debated whether their Italian descendants are white.
"Are Italians White?"
"White Immigrants Weren't Always Considered White"
In any event, the Romans (who were swarthy) looked down on the even darker Israelites.
To review the origin of our discussion...
My meme says: "There Are No White People In The Bible."
By every commonly understood measure of ethno-racial "whiteness," this statement is substantively true.
There are no white people in the Bible.
Sure, anything can be argued.
Any hair can be split.
But the mere fact of devising attractive - even eloquent - arguments does not necessarily make them true.
If Trump cultists (nearly all of them white nationalists or white supremacists) were to openly acknowledge the truth that they quietly "hold to be self-evident," they would admit that the Bible is chock full of people whom their race-obsessed ideological forebears would have called "darkies."
Not "white people."
"Darkies."
Relative to these ubiquitous biblical "darkies" (not a word I am in the habit of using), there are, substantively, NO white people in the bible.
The non-white darkness of biblical people is substantively true despite your unsubstantiated assertions that it is otherwise.
More to the point...
Concerning your bogus assertion that the southern part of the Caucasus are in Mesopotamia, please study the following map to see how wildly wrong you are, and then get back to me with a map link that validates your claim. https://www.freeworldmaps.net/asia/caucasus/map.html
And the following map of Mesopotamia is also pertinent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia#/media/File:N-Mesopotamia_and_Syria_english.svg (You may be tempted to argue that the Zagros mountains ARE the Caucasus. However, they are called the Zagros mountains -- and not the Caucasus mountains -- because Zagros is a different mountain range. The word "Caucasian" evolved in reference to the Caucasus, not the Zagros.)
To be clear, we are specifically talking about Ur, birthplace of Jewish patriarch Abraham which is located in the deep south of present day Iraq.
Here is another link showing the distance -- over 600 miles -- from the southern reach of the Caucasus (the "Lesser Caucasus") to Ur. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Nasiriyah,+Iraq/Tabriz,+East+Azerbaijan+Province,+Iran/@34.4854357,41.2314699,6z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x3fdde2c4e3571081:0xf079d723024bdaac!2m2!1d46.2569178!2d31.0510427!1m5!1m1!1s0x401a05175b8429e1:0x59cb1dc6f21233fb!2m2!1d46.2738013!2d38.096239!3e0
Until you provide links, I will no longer respond to your plucked-from-the-arse assertions.
I have a ringside seat to "The Intellectual Circle Jerk" by keeping my finger on the pulse of Malignant Messiah and QAnonsense.
Remember.
Provide links, or you are dead to me.
Finally - to bring this all up to date - when we set aside Noise Machine nonsense about "legacy, not hate" and "white lives matter," here is what we find at Ground Zero.
Black 14 year old bombarded with racial slurs for giving a donut to a stranger.
White People Who Say "All Lives Matter" Are The Equivalent Of...
It is a fact - plain as potatoes - that Trump World is in bed with ALL the racists, even when Trump World inhabitants devise "alternative facts" "proving" that "everybody's" "white."
PS What you say about Roman intolerance of Jews because the first commandment forbade graven images and worship of any God other than Yahweh is, in its own context, true.
However the particular meme analysis we've undertaken is overarched by the cornerstone truth that "There Are No White People In The Bible."
Tommy, can you hear me?
There are no white people in the bible.
Take as much time as you need with that.
