I respect the Black Gentile races and I don’t think anything is wrong with dark skin.>"By slaying the Dasyus (natives), he [Indra] protected the Aryan color"- [Rig Veda 3]

>"O'er Sire and Mother they have roared in unison bright with the verse of praise, burning up riteless men, Blowing away with supernatural might from earth and from the heavens the swarthy skin which Indra hates."- [Rig Veda , Soma Pavamana - 9.73.5]
>" Indra in battles help his Aryan worshipper, he who hath hundred helps at hand in every fray, in frays that win the light of heaven. Plaguing the lawless he gave up to Manu's seed the dusky skin; Blazing, 'twere, he burns each covetous man away, he burns, the tyrannous away." - [Rig Veda , Book 1]

I’m only making this post to ask, are these verses from the Rigveda enemy corruption or some kind of allegory?
An alarming amount of “Nazis“ outside of JoS are citing these verses to justify their hatred for Black Gentiles and they use these verses as “proof” that the Aryan Gods hate Black people, which we know to be false. I just don’t know how to address these verses...
