You clearly have trouble reading!
Full, thick lips are a common trait with people of African decent. Common does not mean all. Nowhere did I say “all”. Next time, quote my direct statement if you argue. All and common are not synonyms.
I can read very well, thank you. I know what common means and I’ve quoted TWO of your direct statements. The topic of discussion is not whether or not big lips are common amongst people of African descent. The topic of discussion here is you suggest that Zed must have some Black African Ancestry simply because of features like lips. Anyone who has a basic knowledge of genetics knows how stupid that argument regardless of whether or not Black African Ancestry is present. It’s even sillier when you consider that his lips are no fuller than people who can be found in parts of Asia and Latin America with little to no African ancestry at all.
I’m the one who brought up the genetic diversity of Africa in a previous post, hence the reason you cannot say someone is not Black because they don’t “look it.” You fumbled on that one. Don’t try to make it seem like you out here dropping knowledge when you’re repeating what I said.
Yet, you’re sitting here questioning my reading comprehension. Sure. You’re telling me, “you cannot say that someone is not Black because they don’t “look it” right after you’ve argued that he isn’t “white” because he doesn’t look it and that he must have black ancestry because he does “look it.”
Oh, okay.
And yes, I am Black! Have always been Black. Always will be unapologetically Black, all mf day of my life. My parents are from Nigeria, my dude!
A shame, and this is how you act? Btw, would you like a cookie or biscuit for having African parents?
Don’t talk to me about Africa from your American perspective. Just because the US classifies you in a certain way (and you take it as gospel), doesn’t mean that’s how the rest of the world sees it.
I will talk you about whatever it is that I want to talk you you about. Zed is in the United States. I am in the United States. The market that Zed caters to is in the United States. Most people questioning his identity are in the United States. We are discussing the way he is perceived by who? You guessed it, Americans. It’s not gospel, it’s context. Actually, that wasn’t even a factor until I joined the conversation today so I need you to do better.
Alls I said was Zed possibly has Sub Saharan DNA, given his phenotypes. He’s from Tunisa! Afro-Arabs exist! Phenotypes exist!
He just might or he might not. Either way, someone as smart as you are trying to pass yourself off as would know better than to make that argument based on something other as baseless as lips.
You don’t know Zed’s parents. How you perceive him is your business, not his! Zed is clearly not African American, and I never once thought he was, nor am I trying to make him out to be what he’s not!
Sigh. Didn’t this conversation start because you replied to someone who stated that he wasn’t black to make it known that he was Tunisian, North African and not “just white.” Think about that. Your response to someone saying that he wasn’t black was, “Zed is from Tunisia; he’a North African. Looking at his facial features and skin, he is definitely not “‘just White.’”
No one had even implied that he was white. Multiple people said that he wasn’t black and instead of agreeing and moving on you decide to chime in and state that he is North African. You then double down and go on to make this argument about us not knowing his genetic makeup and explaining to us how his lips suggest that he has black ancestry.
The short version of this is that someone said the man wasn’t black and your response was to start a frivolous argument about him possibly having African ancestry (which does not make one black). Make up your mind my dude. Which is it?
Next time, come correct with your facts, and stop letting the US government indoctrinate you on race.
I mean it’s fact. For official/statistical purposes the United States Census bureau would classify Zed as “white.” His drivers license most likely says W unless and probably checks white on forms unless he’s just that serious about his urban cosplay.
Now wtf is the one trying to sound smart. Uncultured ass!
I’ve probably seen more of the world than you ever will but go off. You sound mad bro.
