They also all have a serious case of "off-white" disorder in which they all try to make themselves seem whiter than they really are. Hell even their self-pictures look like middle easterners or black americans yet they think they're white and post so much racist stuff. That forum realy rubs me the wrong way.

...while I don't believe any of us from that region have any idea of what exactly our heritage is...I do believe we have ALL the ancients as our forbears...no one can be sure he or she is Babylonian, or Sumerian, or anything else. For myself I never believed I was a descendant of the ancient Assyrians...just too absurd.

...While I don't believe you can know you are Aramaean, at least your claim makes more sense because you speak, I assume, the Aramaean language....modern Assyrians also speak Aramaic..they do NOT speak "Assyrian"...that language, Akkadian, died long ago and was only revived because of Europeans. If you don't speak the language and don;t worship the god of the Assyrians, how can you be Assyrian?
