Race as a sole identifying factor separated from land, history and culture stemmed from Europe. Many AFrican groups independent of Western cultural intrusion defined themselves as "black." Examples: KMT (land of the blacks, Black land), Natufians of the Sumer (black heads), African were called black by indigenous peoples of Asia and America who they interacted with.
The caste system was originally called the "varna" system. Varna means color. It was set up by Indo-European groups who invaded India. The Rig Veda contains many referrences to the war god, Indra (who was this particular group's diety) destroying and killing black people and noseless (flat-nosed) people. Indra is not an important diety in modern-day "Hinduism" but has the most hymns dedicated to him in the Rig Veda. This is because Indra what an IMPORT into traditional Dravidic religion by this Indo-European group. Also the Rig Veda is the "first" book of the Vedas and gives the basis for the caste system in an analogy comparing the human body to the hierarchal status of the castes. This group called themselves "aryans" which was a word referring to gentlemen and highly respected seers.
The system established is not unlike the development of other systems of oppression established by Europeans. Take control of the spiritual direction of the culture and establish oneself as dominant. The Greeks did it with the creation of "Serapis" in KMT (combined ASAR with APIS = ASARAPIS= SERAPIS) and gave "him" a Greek face of one of the Ptolemies. Romans did it with their perversion and creation of "Christianity" and gave Christ a white face. "Aryans" did it with Krishna making him into a paleblue skinned creature instead of a BLACK MAN as he was originally depicted.

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
