Black Men

[Peterson72]

I don't know how much of it is due to denial and how much is due to ignorance, it's notorious that most Americans don't know anything about the world beyond the US and they may sincerely believe that there are native redbones and high yellows in Africa. I once had this conversation with some Americans and they showed some Ethiopians, Somalis and Kalahari Bushmen as examples of "Africans come in every shades and tones", which is absolutely dishonest because Ethiopians and Somalis are heavily mixed with Arabs and usually take pride in being distinct from black Africans whereas Bushmen are native Southern Africans that have lived in isolation from West African descended Bantus for thousands of years. All these distorsions to deny the fact that regular black Africans are always dark skinned, never have "good hair" nor caucasoid features. A place in the old world that really has a huge diversity of skin tones besides the horn of Africa is India, and it's relatively unique among world regions. On the contrary, Europe, East Asia and Subsaharan Africa are places where there is very little diversity in skin tone and facial features.

Another big lie is that African women are significantly lighter than African men, it's false. Most African women that are light brown are bleached, there might be a slight difference in average skin tone between African men and women but it's so small that a large share of African women are darker than the average African man, it's a sex difference that is smaller than the height difference.

No, I googled "portuguese crowd". The Portuguese are white, none are racially ambiguous except if they're mixed, just like West Africans are black, or dark brown, unless they're mixed or bleached. This is the result of natural selection, which makes some traits reach fixation, it means when a trait (very dark skin in West Africa) is so advantageous in a given environment, it comes to eliminate all variation that could develop in the absence of selection. Native Europeans or West Africans that are naturally light brown are at best 1 in a million. You know it, stop lying to yourself.

See, this woman is white, nearly 100% of her ancestors from ten generations ago were from Europe, somewhere between the Atlantic and the Urals. Her appearance is the most frequent in the northern half of Europe, she could not be the natural daughter of two Yorubas or two Koreans. . If she has a child with someone who looks like her brother, that child would never look like Drake or Rihanna, let alone 50 Cent, because her child would be white, just like her. Everybody else but you and a few other deranged Americans know this.

Not too long ago someone here was trying to pass Kevin Portillo as a black men (when they dude is Latino/Venezuelan ethnically) and when I said something there a black American font made a big deal calling me ignorant and all pretending I don't like here in the USA or something. And it's not only about Keving not being African American but Hispanic. It's also that he does not look black. You can tell the guy is heavily mixed and even with some amerindian. Thick lips is a trait you can find in other races. I'm still sure he has some black in him though but not for posters to lump him with real blacks or pred. black people. That's is just silly, dumb, reeks insecurity.

Is Kevin portillo not biracial?

Somalis and Ethiopians are not mixed with Arabs and you have plenty of light skin west Africans. Who uses caucasoid? Africa has the most diversity in skin tone and facial features than any place in the world. Most AA's are mixed with European and black anyway

A thread named “Black Men,” and not “Urban.” Thank you

Ethiopians (East Africans) and Yorubas (West Africans) have radically different genetic profiles, Ethiopians being 1/4 to 1/3 Southwest Asian in ancestry, which means from the Arabian peninsula. The rest of their ancestry is East African, which means dark skinned but with different features from West Africans.


Africa is huge, there are people from different places in Africa that look very different, but Africans in any given country or region within a country look very alike. There recently was outrage in france because an adventure game on TV had a challenge that consisted of finding a specific kid among hundreds in a West African school playground, so as you can imagine all the kids looked the same to the untrained French eye, no kid had any outstanding feature that would strikingly set them apart from the rest, they could not focus on searching lightskins or darksins because all kids nearly had the same dark skin tone, black hair, dark eyes and same uniform. It took them hours before they found the right kid after failing 20 or 30 times.

As a Haitian I was not shocked at all, we all look similar, like a big family, and one needs to be accustomed to black people to notice the differences we see among each other. If I had to find one specific Japanese child among hundreds, I'd be just as confused, because East Asians also have very low diversity in skin tone and facial features. Light skin is so foreign among black people that Bob Marley while growing up in Jamaica was bullied and called a white boy due to being half-white due to his English father.

This is a crowd in Senegal, nobody is light-skinned, it's just how it is, there's never been mass migration of light-skinned people here and melanin protects skin from sunburns under these lattitudes. African-Americans look the way they do because at some point in their genealogical tree they had people looking like these men above who had children with people looking like Donald Trump or Pochaontas, not because they had African ancestors that looked like Drake.
