is the correct and proper name of our race
by Martin Kerr
Before 1940 or so, the term ‘Aryan’ and the name ‘Aryan race’ were part of the ordinary vocabulary of every moderately-educated person in the English-speaking world. Following the Second World War, ‘Aryan’ fell into forced disuse and disrepute because of its association with National Socialist racial ideology. Winners write the history books, and ‘Aryan’ was one word they wanted left out.
An Aryan girl, member of the Nordic sub-race. All Aryans are not
Nordics, but all Nordics (of uncontaminated ancestry) are Aryans.
Instead, it was replaced by ‘White’ in everyday use, and by ‘Indo-European’ for use by historical and linguistic specialists. Most newspapers capitalized the ‘W,’ but at some point in the 1970s, newspapers stopped capitalizing it, and it became just ‘white.’
Now we are told by our would-be masters that the White race itself does not exist—that it is merely a ‘social construct’ designed to keep the colored races of the world suppressed.
Pretty neat trick, eh? First we are exterminated linguistically, then conceptually, and next—well, killing off the Aryan race can hardly be genocide, if it does not really exist in the first place—right?
An essential countermeasure to this genocidal design is for us to reclaim both our racial identity as Aryans—and the word ‘Aryan’ itself.
The following is the truth about the term ‘Aryan,’ which our racial enemies hate so much.
About 4,000 or 5,000 years ago there was a racially homogeneous collection of tribes who called themselves the ‘Aryans’ or something similar. The name means the ‘Noble Ones,’ and is related, for example, to the Greek words aristos (‘the best’) and arete (‘excellence in virtue’). In addition to being of one race or ethnicity, they all spoke the same language, and had common religion, legal system and social structure.
For reason of lamentable Political Correctness, in the post-1945 world scholars have chosen to speak of these people as the Indo-Europeans—but practically speaking, Indo-European and Aryan are interchangeable as racial designations.
There is much controversy about the precise location Indo-European homeland, but the consensus of informed opinion places it somewhere in Southeastern Europe (perhaps in the Danube basin) or Southwestern Asia (perhaps on the western steppes or maybe in Anatolia).
At some point in time there began a great outflowing from the Indo-European homeland. Some Aryan tribes moved east and south. The Indo-Aryans were that tribe or folk which crossed the Hindu Kush mountains and descended into the Indus valley, where they gave birth to the Classical Indian civilization. Others (such as the Mitanni) migrated to the area now known as Iran, where they created the ancient Persian civilization. Still others (such as the Tocharians), journeyed further eastward, towards the rising sun, venturing across the Takla Makan desert and into Western China.
All of these Eastern Aryans, over the course of time, intermarried with the more-numerous non-Aryan peoples whom they conquered. In consequence, they lost their distinctive racial identity, and became extinct.
But the Western Aryans, following the direction of the setting Sun, poured into Europe. The Hellenes conquered Greece; the Italic tribes conquered Italy. The Celts swept across Northwestern Europe, as far as Ireland. In Northern Europe, the Germanic peoples established their distinctive culture.
All of the nations and peoples of Europe, with the exception of the Basques in the west and the Finno-Ugric peoples in the northeast, are descended from the Western Aryans. (And the Basques and Finno-Ugrians are of related racial lineage, in any case.) Because the peoples they conquered were racially similar to them, intermixture between the Indo-European conquerors and the pre-Indo-European ‘Old Europeans’ allowed the Western Aryans to maintain their distinctive racial identity to this day.
The names ‘Ireland,’ ‘Iran,’ and ‘Armenia’ all mean ‘land of the Aryans,’ and testify to the extent of Indo-European or Aryan settlement. Among the ancient Hittites, possibly the oldest Aryan civilization, we find documents using the term nata ara to refer to non-Hittites. It means exactly what you think it means: ‘non-Aryan.’
In The Histories (circa 450 BC), Herodotus actually uses the word ‘Aryan’ to describe the Medes, who were an ancient people related to the Greeks, and who lived directly to the east of them. He writes:
The Medes were called anciently by all peoples ‘Aryans,’ but when Medea, the Colchian, came to them from Athens, they changed their name. Such is the account which they themselves give.
The first opponent that Julius Caesar faced in Gaul was the German king Ariovistus, whose name is a cognate with ‘Aryan,’ as is the Celtic given name Ariomanus.
In India, the Aryan tribes kept the name ‘Aryan’ as their specific ethnonym (also in Afghanistan), where it continues to be used today, long after the last drop of pure Aryan blood has vanished.
I surmise that the Eastern Aryans, being surrounded by multitudes of non-Whites in the lands that they conquered, and with whom the differed greatly, both in appearance and quality, tended to keep their identity as Aryans, whereas the Western Aryans more readily blended in with the racially similar Europeans peoples they conquered, and so lost their identity as ‘Aryans’ more completely.
Some scholars try to pretend that the term ‘Aryan’ only has value when used linguistically or applied to the Aryans in India. But the historic and prehistoric record is clear: ‘Aryan’ was a racial or folk designation long before it was appropriated as a narrow linguistic term.
Today, racially conscious White people throughout the world have proudly reclaimed this ancient racial descriptor as the proper name of their Race—and that is how it should be!

Great post. Let me add couple more things for nerds:
The root of the word Aryan is the Proto-Indo-European word heryos, meaning kinsman. It is not known whether those we call Western Aryans called themselves ‘Aryans’ (they probably used some form of it), but Eastern Aryans certainly did, and they were genetically European. They cluster within modern Europeans on the PCA chart. They descended from Corded Ware culture and carried the paternal lineage R1a-Z93. Eastern Aryan cultures were Fatyanovo, Abashevo, Sintastha, Srubnaya and Andronovo. Indo-Iranians, Indo-Aryans, Scythians, Sarmatians and Alans were descended from them.
Corded Ware culture was the western part of the Late Proto-Indo-Europeans. They carried R1a M417 and R1b L151.
Yamnaya culture was the eastern part. They carried R1b Z2103.
Both of them came from Sredny Stog culture living in the Pontic Caspian steppe, this is still debated but it is the most probable case.
Corded Ware is the most important PIE expansion because almost all modern European languages derive from it. Others come from Yamnaya.
Basques speak a non-IE language, but the most common Y-DNA found in them is R1b-DF27, which is related to the Bell Beakers (Corded Ware descendants) who occupied southern Gaul as well as Iberia.
Each of the Aryan migrations shares key features:
1: They all covered huge areas of land.
2: They all genetically modified more than 50% of the DNA of the peoples they conquered.
3: They all mostly replaced the male lineages of the populations whom they conquered.
The repudiation of the term ‘Aryan’ is carried out particularly among Non-Nordic Whites, that is, Non-Aryans.
I despise Anti-Nordicism. I’m tired of having to kowtow to White Nationalists, of euphemising Aryan Supremacy, of denying the anthropological FACT that Non-Blondes/Meds are Whites whose ancestors MISCIGENATED with OTHER RACES; it’s frustrating to have to walk on eggshells with these people.
Never forget that the Med-muds have a deep inferiority complex when faced with pure Aryans. They envy the beauty of their genetic superiors, and they buy into the narrative, like scared little girls, that they would be “holocausted” if the evil Nadzees had total power.
If you are an Aryan, do NOT trust the Meds to have your back. They will help you only as much as their ego can take.
And if you are a Med, don’t bother begging forgiveness to the Aryan Gods for betraying their blood, you are wasting your time.
The Gods do not care for the troubles nor mistakes of anyone.
To all Aryans and Meds, we have been given, at birth, everything we need to survive and thrive. The Aryan Gods only care for those who FIGHT, and never surrender, never give up.
Yes, it is irritating when a white mudblood brings out his self-consciouss complexes. But it is much more irritating when a Nordic type, like Greg Johnson, grants amnesty to brown Europeans like some Portuguese and Sicilians—even some Turks—who are obviously too mixed to be considered pure whites.
But I am even more outraged that no one, except me, has given Greg a dressing down on this issue. It shows, as I have said many times, that white nationalism is charlatanism, in that they violate the most basic and fundamental principle: thou shalt not mix your blood with those below you!
As a student I can tell you that even uttering the word “Aryan” on a US college campus will cause some controversy.
The only time the word is ever used, if it’s used, is to falsely claim that Aryans weren’t “white” or something to that effect.
Genetic evidence has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the earliest Europeans would be considered “white” by today’s standards. But the American intelligentsia doesn’t care about that. They don’t deal in facts. The United States has a culture of academic dishonesty so extreme that it makes Soviet Lysenkoism seem earnest in comparison.
