I understand where you are coming from Pagan.

But you know there is a reason for all of this. Don't pretend that people who think like him just came from nowhere. In the past Africans may not have used skin color as a basis to claim kinship with one another however recent events such as slavery, racism, and the likes have changed this.

Even as a "pro-tribal" person you know that this is the new reality. When you look at me, you won't see a white woman. You won't even know I was jamaican unless I told you..why is that?

exactly. skin color and race are both real.

I have had Africans who belong to tribes tell me that I "look African" and asked me if I were African (specifically if I were from Kenya). Now if Africans did not recognize that there is a such thing as a "black race" why would they confuse me for being one of them?

All I am saying Pagan is you are free to feel how you feel just as he is, but let's not pretend and fight the facts. Yes there are still tribes in Africa with unique histories, cultures and the likes but there is also a black race. How can one define it? well, it's up the the individuals..either way I don't see the need for the insults.

Again you're just proving time and time again that you're slow, have terrible comprehension skills and probably don't even know what this argument is about as proof with this post. slowpoke I'M THE ONE who TOLD YOU not to use those 19th century terms! Did even bother to even read my post on the Rwandan genocide At all? Here is it again!
KidStranglehold: The Hamitic hypothesis affected the policies of European imperial powers in the twentieth century. In Rwanda it was linked to the German and Belgian preferential attitudes to the Tutsis over the Hutu during the colonial period of rule. Some scholars believe this colonial bias was a significant factor contributing to the Rwandan genocide by the Hutus in 1994.
The League of Nations Mandate of 1916 appointed Belgium to govern Rwanda after Germany's defeat in World War I; Philip Gourevitch claims that “the terms Hutu and Tutsi had become clearly defined opposing “ethnic” identities, and the Belgians made this polarization the cornerstone of their colonial policy.”[13] Belgian officials measured numerous Rwandans to define traits among the various tribes; they used the differences to justify the Tutsis' majority of control throughout the country.
They defined racial differences between the Tutsi and Hutu peoples, differences which would impose a wholly inflexible ceiling on those classified as Hutu, rather than one that varied with social status.
Scholars such as Mahmood Mamdani suggested that the Hutu began to view the Tutsi as outside invaders to their land, as "aliens" and usurpers, and that this led, in the end, to genocide. He states that reforms of local government by the Belgian colonial rulers in the 1920s led to a situation in which the Hutus "were not ruled by their own chiefs but by Tutsi chiefs. The same reforms constructed the Tutsi into a different race: the Hamitic race." A major contributing force to the animosity between Hutu and Tutsi is derived from Spekes’ “Hamitic hypothesis”. Namely the notion that since the Tutsi were considered the Hamitic race, "the Hutu could frame the Tutsis as foreign invaders, as by definition, the Hamitic race is synonymous with a settling identity."
Following World War II, Belgium’s colonial administration had been placed under United Nations trusteeship; it was to prepare Rwanda for eventual independence as a self-governing nation. Hutu political activists emerged in great numbers and exploited this as an opportunity to rally the masses to unite in their "Hutuness," as this was their chance to finally gain power after decades of oppression.[13] This philosophy, coupled with other political incidents, led to the social revolution of 1959 when Hutus killed ten thousand Tutsis, predominantly those within the political structure, and displaced thousands more from their homes. What followed was essentially a racial and ethnic hierarchy similar in most respects to that of one year prior; however, the roles were simply reversed – Hutu dominated the institutions and established discrimination against Tutsi in education, the civil service and armed forces.
This creation of an artificial racial caste was unique to Rwanda and Burundi. While other ethnic groups outside Rwanda, such as the Bahima, were also identified by Europeans as "Hamites", they were not given institutionalised superior status. "Only in Rwanda and Burundi did the Hamitic hypothesis become the basis of a series of institutional changes that fixed the Tutsi as a race in their relationship to the colonial state."

Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamitic#Rwanda_and_Burundi

For all you clueless people who don't know, 'Hamite' people were a part of the larger CAUCASOID RACE!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race#Classification

Hamites(Horners, Tutsi,etc) were deemed 'black' skinned Caucasoid! Why do you think the Europeans gave the Tutsi's higher power if they were 'Negroid'

Again this...


Was deemed superior to this...


Because the former was closer to this...


Get the picture? This isn't rocket science. But genetics has debunked all of this.

^^^^Now does that post even give the slightest hint that I'm even agreeing with those racist? No its actually the OPPOSITE.

Jesus Christ...Are people really this slow on this site?

Rossikk:
For US, a negroid is a person with traceable Negro ancestry and/or Negro features, of which dark skin is but one element.
It doesn't matter what it is for YOU or other people. YOU or other people didn't invent the term. Negroid is a physical anthropologist term...You and other people who use the term out of context just proves how uneducated and ignorant you are about the term. Negroid is a race which has been DEBUNKED and is scientifically invalid. Which is why Negroid now only deals with phenotype...


Rossikk:
Somalis, Ethiopians are blacks. They are negroes, therefore they are negroid. FULL STOP. We KNOW there are all sorts of disputes among European scholars regarding these definitions. That is NONE of OUR business. We tell THEM who WE are. Not the other way round.



Again for the last millionth time Negroid is NOT NEGRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Negro is a skin color, Negroid is a RACE. Which has been debunked and now only means phenotype. [b]Horners DO NOT HAVE NEGROID PHENOTYPES[/b!!!! But yes...They are genetically related to other Africans and are what you may call 'black'. If you truly disagree with European scholars, then you would stop using their terms like negroid and also negro.

Of course they are two different words. Who said they meant the same thing? Negroid means of visible black African ancestry. Negro means a black person. That's all there is to it.


Negroid DOES NOT have nothing to do with skin color, but physical features.

Does skin colour not constitute part of one's physical features?

Of course it does.


Your idiocy is preventing you from understanding the flaws of the word Negroid. Again why do you think Negroid is an OUTDATED TERM!

It is not outdated. It remains in use by forensic anthropologists. The only ''flaw'' is in your head.

What are you on about dude? Negroid means physical features which suggest black African ancestry, correct?

So what is the argument about?

You are the one saying we should not use the term because some white boy somewhere used the term inappropriately.

But the term negroid, used in its simple, honest manner means 'of black' or resembling black.. In fact there is academic suppport for this position:



''The word is formed by the base "Negro" (which means black in Spanish) and the suffix "-oid", which means "resembling"

''The term has both Greek and Latin etymological roots. It literally translates as "black resemblance" from negro/niger (black), and -oeidēs, equivalent to -o- -o- + -eidēs having the form of, derivative of eîdos form.''

Thus negroid would apply to all blacks and as well as all negroid populations, like Australasians and many southern Indians and Bangladeshis.

There is no reason to shy away from the term.

I understand where you are coming from Pagan.

But you know there is a reason for all of this. Don't pretend that people who think like him just came from nowhere. In the past Africans may not have used skin color as a basis to claim kinship with one another however recent events such as slavery, racism, and the likes have changed this.

Even as a "pro-tribal" person you know that this is the new reality. When you look at me, you won't see a white woman. You won't even know I was jamaican unless I told you..why is that?

exactly. skin color and race are both real.

I have had Africans who belong to tribes tell me that I "look African" and asked me if I were African (specifically if I were from Kenya). Now if Africans did not recognize that there is a such thing as a "black race" why would they confuse me for being one of them?

All I am saying Pagan is you are free to feel how you feel just as he is, but let's not pretend and fight the facts. Yes there are still tribes in Africa with unique histories, cultures and the likes but there is also a black race. How can one define it? well, it's up the the individuals..either way I don't see the need for the insults.

undecided

I get what you are saying. smiley

I agree that things are changed today. there is No pretending otherwise. However lets be clear. it is not so rampant here. we are not racists and we dont want to be. many African youth are today getting influenced all by this black gangster, rap, etc., or whatever. you saw the Woolwhich incident? those are the kind of stuff that I get scared to think will affect my people.
we will abandon our tribes/culture and go for this black unity and other racist gay thingz. you get my drift?

a cat looks like a baby lion, but do they bite the same?

i dont really care for phenotype. i told you.

btw the insults were because he started it first. i just wanted to show him I can insult too. also his nagging and lack of ability to understand something no matter how much I repeat, really got on my nerves.
