Why Are We Black? by omiobo: 1:06pm On Apr 09, 2013 |
I was watching CNN,when the above question flashed my mind. Within me I tried to find answer to the question,but I was not convinced. Did God create us black or Is it as a result of the sins of our forefathers? Is it a curse,or presence of melanin in our body as they say? I will be glad if a nairalander can come up with a convincing answer. |

We are black because God created us this way, he put the melanin pigment in our Dna when he created the black race. |

All humans came out of Africa. When they migrated to colder climates tens of thousands of years ago the lighter skinned ones (albinos) survived better in the colder climate, whereas the dark skinned ones could not and died out. The humans who stayed in Africa remained dark skinned. It's the same reason why you have white tigers, white bears, white rabbits in cold snowy climates. It's called natural selection |

At birth, we all didn't chose our race, our family, our nationality, our tribe e.t.c. We were born into them. One thing I know for sure is that, it has nothing to do with any fore father's or fore mother's sin. Like someone said earlier it is as a result of 'natural selection', our bodies where sculpted according to the climates and geographies that each race is indigenous too. |

Within me I tried to find answer to the question,but I was not convinced.i dont know why you are black. you must have offended the gods. as for me, i am chocolate brown. you must be going through some hardship. only brown people i know turn black are going through hardship OR having jobs with no protection from the sun ( like say being a construction worker where you have to be in the sun ) for example the israelites skin turned black because of famine and heavy sunshine ( lamentations 4 vs 8 ) ( lamentations 5 vs 10 ) |

Re: Why Are We Black? by tpia5: 8:13pm On Apr 10, 2013 |
Logicboy03: I assume you're feeling funky because some fellow opened a thread asking of you. Also, some other creatures are showing you support in your little mad world. Beware of generalizing your reception here, face the ones who want you back. I do have to generalize and ask though, why are atheists so crass and ill mannered. Any mod who wants to hide this post should also hide the quoted one. |
