just like some people(western) will say sub-saharian African/Black Africa etc ......ask to any single Africa u meet where he is from he will tell you Africa(not sub-sharian Africa /white africa or black-africa as if it even exists) undecided whats with ur obsession to classify people with the color of their skin lmao
Re: Africans We Are "Not" Blacks !!!!!! We Are Tribals !!!!!!!! by JallowBah(f): 8:15pm On Nov 26, 2012
CAMEROONPRIDE: Africans never referred to themselves as Black we do not consider color skin unlike Western who are really psychopathic about that ....There is no such things as black people but since some people have been stolen from their lands(BA and others islanders) the word black has been invented to them by their masters(white) in the optic to destruct their identity saying m wrong is just a denial cause we all know who created the word black(as a reference to a group of people) and if you watched Admistad when the slaves arrived there is a dude who ask them who they are none of them said we are black none of them even said Africa cause the Africans of the past identified themselves to their kingdom and their ethnicity .period they gave so much answers that the white man as usual(lazy and wicked) decided to gather all those origins in one word :"BLACK" what is black? a race? an ethnicity? tell me what is the meaning of black?

I watched Amistad when I was just a little girl. In school, actually.
And if anyone ask me where I am from, I will say the country. If they ask what colour I am, like people tend to do in this forum even, I say I am white. What do you mean I should say that I am, then..? "Well, I would consider myself light-pink mixed with kind of a white sense into it, you know. "

Black is a colour. White is a colour. They are different. We have eyes, we see the difference. In the dark, how ever, we all look the same.

CAMEROONPRIDE: since when GTFOH is an insult ? it simply means that ur presence here is not wanted undecided

I don`t know how YOU were raised, but I was raised to believe that if people tell you "to get the eff out", that is, in fact, an insult. There is no need to be rude to people unless they are rude to you first.

I always wondered why african people don`t answer what country they are from when I do ask where they are from.
"Where are you from?"
"Africa."
"....what country?"

Do any white people say "I`m from Europe", or do they tell you the country?

...and, I was not the one who started to talk about skin-colour heresmiley

When I ask where people come from, I expect to know the country, which, in most cases, is where they consider their region of origin..
How am I reffering to people on their colour, when I ask where they are from?
Are you blind? If I was walking in Nigeria, people would call me oyinbo, and ask where I am from. Is that good...?

No, many of the "white-made-countries" are much older than that, actually.
But we all came from Africa at some point, yes. So why the hate towards me because I am -not- black..? Cause that is what this is about; you told me to get out of the thread because I am white.

Trust me. They do teach us geo in school. They do teach us that Africa is a continent, not a country. They even teach us a little bit about the different countries, imagine that!
I guess that shows that you are just judgemental ( you and others who answers Africa when asked, if they do it of the same reason ), and look down upon white people.
And, we are back where we started, you don`t like me, simply because of the colour of my skin. That is, in fact, racism.

And, my country don`t have a president.

If I was told a country I had not heard about, then I would ask, of course. If you never ask, how will you learn anything? And if people ask, that is a positive thing; it shows interest. I do not see how you can consider it a negative thing.

I.ex: the americans believe some crazy things about my country as well. They think there are polar-bears in the streets, rein-deers running around, no public communications, only mountains and fjords, and penguins, and winter year-round, with 5meters of snow. But it`s not. That how they picture it, because of what they have been told. And if they ask me...I will correct them, and tell them how it really is. How else will people know??

And I know of more countries in Africa then my husbands. But their capitals? Nope, I am not THAT goodsmiley

If people ask about your culture, your food, your music, you should be PROUD, not annoyed.

I know some. Nigeria, Senegal, Gambia, Ghana, Zambia, Marocco, Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Congo, Angola, Niger, Mali,Sudan, Liby, Liberia, South-Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, Guinea ( Same as papa new guinea...? ), Ivory cost, Guinea bissou, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe..

That is the ones I can remember without googling. But I can see that I missed out on some. And their capitals? Nope, no chance. Only Gambia, Nigeria and Senegal.

Like I said; Long time since I had those lessons. Don`t try to tell me you remember everything you learned in school more than 15 years ago, honey.

And Btw; In my language, Marocco is written with an A. My computer ain`t too good, so the A in Libya fell away. The rest; pfft, pure misspelling. Guess that never happens to you, uh? You`re grammar ain`t perfect either, so to try to call me out on that is kinda...low.

Pagan how can you use evolutionary differences in subculture to disprove evolution in general? Black refers to only the negroid subject not all of dark skin. The aborigine that left the African continent 60,000 years ago tend to be darker in completion but are of a separate subset (only 5 recognized worldwide). And yes all Asians are mongoloid dispute diff in completion and features which are cause through evolutionary adaptations to their surroundings. Even caucasoid which includes the Mediterranean and Arab regions differ in completion and stature. Its based on DNA genomes not features. I suggest you buy a gene sequencing kit (by the way it was introduced through a Indian anthropologist not the "evil western/white blah blah blah" and see how your own genome maps out. You may be surprised. A global genome mapping was done a few years ago and west Africans tend to include Turkish and Arab genomes in their DNA. Just an FYI. Your rant which has not evidence to back up and has already been disproven genetically and anthropological makes you look foolish
