Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by ezeagu(m): 5:51pm On Nov 03, 2008
What I want you lot to do is post celebrities (photos or text) who are part of the African diaspora (e.g Beyonce, typical, and, I don't know. . . Michelle Obama  ) and talk about where they look like they (or their family) originally came from in Africa. For example for Brazilian footballer Pele maybe you would say he looks Nigerian or preferably (and more helpfully) an ethnic group like he looks Yoruba or Hausa, Asante etc. All this is just a fun way of seeing what typical facial features , body builds etc. that are common amongst Africans because I'm a bit bad at spotting who looks like what. Don't take posts as fact or a way of claiming anybody (because African like to do that a lot) it's just fun.  wink

tpia:

Michelle Obama looks Igbo isnt that what you want to hear?

many AAs also have Arab blood which is generally unreported, so yes some of them look like Africans, seeing how a lot of Africans are also mixed with something or the other.

How do you know what and what I don't want to hear? Jealousy. . . . . .
