Hello Blauw bloed, your theory seems incredibly unique. I've never heard of anything similar before. Given this, I wish that you could put aside any feelings of persecution and attempt to lead us upon the path which brought you to this conclusion.

Could you post your proof that the elite was brown and black, or links to it, in this thread? I must admit that I find it difficult to take your claims seriously. If you could provide more in the way of evidence it would be greatly appreciated. Could you provide links to some of these paintings you speak of as well?
What I'm trying to say is that I really don't think that this discussion can be fruitfully continued with naught but more talk. Some topics can be concluded just by telling people about them. Any disagreements thereafter can be sorted out with discussion. I do not think this is such a topic.

Do you have anything to support these claims? I think I can present some counter-evidence.
"The law in Virginia didn’t establish the condition of lifetime, perpetual slavery or even recognize African servants as a group different from white servants until 1661." [1]
I.E. In 1661 African (black) servants were recognized as a different group from white servants. To me, this seems to show that a concept of race existed prior to 1760.
"The planters’ economic calculations played a part in the colonies’ decision to move towards full-scale slave labor. By the end of the 17th century, the price of white indentured servants outstripped the price of African slaves. A planter could buy an African slave for life for the same price that he could purchase a white servant for ten years. As Eric Williams explained:
"Here, then, is the origin of Negro slavery. The reason was economic, not racial; it had to do not with the color of the laborer, but the cheapness of the labor. [The planters] would have gone to the moon, if necessary, for labor. Africa was nearer than the moon, nearer too than the more populous countries of India and China. But their turn would soon come." " [1]
The slave trade increased due to economic concerns. As Black slaves saw more use they were separated from white servants/indentured servants (see above).
I'm not saying that the above shows the existence of race as we conceive of it today. I'm simply saying that it seems to show the existence of some concept of race prior to your claimed origin of 1760. It also seems to provide a reasonable origin of racism tied in with the slave trade.
