lepasharon: Since light skinned is supposed to be beautiful?

We aren't?....

You can rep your Dark beauty but we can't rep our Light beauty?...

We are Beautiful.

See it's that crab mentality you are born with....

You feel in order to build darkskin beauty up, you need to tear lightskin beauty down.

Envy

Yes to answer your question..it is very obvious you envy lightskin people.

Define blackness....

Phenotype.?~..African Dna......?.......

I can trump you on both.

Define a "black" person

You would never catch Royal writing no bullshit like that to a teenage Dark girl.

Number #1 because I am attracted to Dark

Number# 2 she is too young to destroy her mental state and endure such trauma at such a young developing state.

Number #3 ....It's Discriminating against someone solely because you may have previous bad experiences with a person of those particular traits

Blackness has no valid scientific extraction.

It is Political Coding & A Consciousness of Mind.

As a Gold Afro Latino I am every bit as "Black" as all of You.

Um...Royal. I been saying this for the LONGEST of time.

No doubt you are very much as 'black' as me or anyone else. You're probably 'blacker' than we culturally speaking.

Like i said.. my beleif is that in the black community ppl know not to say anything against dark skinned ppl cos it reflects what Willy did,by dividing the light skinned and dark skinned.so such person will be seen as a coon.
Keep in mind that i am not dark. I am in-between.

Black with kinky hair
Re: Racism/Colorism Prejudice Against Lightskin & Mixed "Black" People by Nobody: 10:23pm On Jun 03, 2013
Um...Royal. I apologize if I derail your thread, but I just want to make your case on the term 'black' much stronger.

Okay...

[img]http://2.bp..com/-7GapuofwI0Y/TrMJi3yYuLI/AAAAAAAAH6A/jhQxQccD_a4/s400/fig4negritos.jpg[/img]

^^^Most people in America would consider the above 'black'. I mean why not? They look it...

They would also believe that those people are from Africa. Well they aren't. Their actually from Southeast Asia and are called the Negritos. Not only that they are genetically DISTANT from Africans or what you may call 'black people', so distant that Europeans are actually more genetically related to Africans than those Negritos.

Those Negritos carry NO African genes what so ever and are actually much closer to their neighboring Asian neighbors. So why is that?

What's funny is that these lovely Dominicans are actually MORE African than those Southeast Asian Negritos would ever will be.


^^^Amazing ain't it? Those Negritos look more 'AFRICAN/BLACK', while those Dominicans don't. Yet those Dominicans are more African than those Negritos.

So what is the true definition of 'black'. The thing is...There is NO definition.

Hmmm....

This Andaman islander man has what you state Black with kinky hair.


Yet he is not related to Africans.

This Khoisan girl does in fact have what you consider kinky hair, but she has extremely light skin and Asian type eyes.


Yet that Khoisan girl is more genetically African than any African on the continent, and including 'blacks' of the diaspora. That Khoisan girl actually belongs a group of the OLDEST Africans.

So again their is no definition for black. ANYONE can be black if you have some African DNA from what I seen.

The dedintion of black in a cultural perspective is a group that shares similar genetic traits not in totality but in general. A group that could express discrimination from near and far, within the group or outside the group, and can identify commonality regardless of walks in life.

The same thing can be said about whites.

Interesting...But I think almost ANYONE can can be black, but the same can't be said for white. It seems white is only exclusive to Europeans descent and Iranians...

That khoisan girl might be partly chinese, her bone structure is asian.

tpia@:

Well think again...Thats a typical phenotype/characteristic of Khoisan/San due to the environment they live in. Khoisan people carry NO Asian DNA but very ancient African genes and are linked with other Africans like the Hadza.

Not only that, but there is no historic documentations of Chibese/East Asians entering South Africa in large waves. Also Khoisan people being a isolated group further dismisses the theory of mixing with Asians.

Mami Tpia, Khoisan East Asian Esque "Chinese" Features
actually Pre Dates East Asians Having Those Features

So Technically, East Asians Look Like Khoisan People, not the other way around.

Again it is highly unlikely that Khoisan girl is mixed with Asian due to Southern Africa not having a big Asian population and Khoisan people being an isolated group.

do you have any evidence there are no khoisans who are mixed with chinese?

that's my point.

actually, southern africa does have a high number of asians (mostly from malaysia or thereabouts), they also contributed to the colored population.

however, i agree unmixed khoisan have strongly asiatic features (even though they're african), just that the particular girl in question looks decidely chinese.

Those people from Malaysia that you speak of are mostly concentrated in Madagascar. Again the girl I posted lives in a isolated area so the chances of mixing with non Khoisans is low.

Yeah agreed, khoisans do have strong Asiatic features. But again just saying that feature the girl has is common in Khoisan people.
Re: Racism/Colorism Prejudice Against Lightskin & Mixed "Black" People by tpia5: 4:11pm On Jun 06, 2013
^ i do see your point, khoisan features are asian in appearance, not sure why, guess its linked to their long time presence on the continent.

The OP of this thread must be very disturbed and has very low self esteem. But I understand. Years of taking insults must have changed your brain structure.
Btw.. I do not discriminate. Love women of every colour grin

The OP should take his grievances to Lipstick alley he would be a hit there and also meet like minded people of his country. Am just making a suggestion!
