Educate her, Fulaman.

Fulaman198:

Yiou may not support evolution but it does exist....

Why does the African elephant found in the Savannah for example have vast differences from its Asian counterpart? Larger ears (to keep it cooler in heat), and both males and females possess tusks. African Elephants are also larger.

Why is the coat on a Siberian tiger less tawny than that of it's Bengal Tiger counterpart when they are both tigers? The Amur/Siberian tiger lives in a colder region so it is [b]lighter[/b]and has a thicker coat to help it better survive in its climate. That's just science, it's true and it is backed up. Religion and science go hand in hand. People become darker as a result of living in a region that has a lot of sun. Africa being the most ethnic diverse continent by far in the world is no exception.

I'm sorry if I had insulted you, but to claim that all African peoples who aren't dark have some admixture in their DNA is just flat out wrong. Science can support this. Sure there are some groups that have Arab admixture, but it isn't common. For example, not all Fulani (my ethnic group) look a particular way. You will find that from Senegal to Sudan where Fulani inhabit, there are different phenotypes but in the end we are all Fulani. You will find light complexioned Fulani and extremely dark (almost black much darker than mahogany) Fulani in the deep Sahel zone.

MsDarkSkin:

Go educate your self.



@ FULAMAN <<<<<

lol seriously? i never said all africans that are not dark are mixed. I said africans with the same complexions AS ALICIA KEYS ARE MIXED. And anyway Fulanis are one of the most mixed ethnic groups in west africa on a general and historical level. Thats undeniable. Take a genetic dna test ad come correct! Lol. Im not talking about tigers and elephants im talking about human beings.

There is evidence that there were also jews who mixed with native west and sub saharan africans. I presume because there isnt a high concentration of them where you are TODAY that it means nothing to you. But what you fail to realize is west africa at one point was like the Americas of today. Ppl flocked from all over to trade and live there. All african tribes as was all ppl, were nomadic. Arabs/jews alike traded with and settled in various african kingdoms even mixing with the natives. Islams introduction to africa wasnt overnight. Why else could a fulani go into a afro. Asiatic mixed society like egypt or somalia and be mistaken for a native? Nations notorious for their african and arab relations. We are talking cultures mixing and fusing. When its all said and done check out modern ethnic groups like the american creole population and you will see my point.

btw...Religion and evolution doesnt always agree. They counter more than they cover each other.

Anyway tisa asked and she got answers from both sides. Its up to her to seek it out. Im going to leave it at that. As you can see im quite annoyed with the subject of evolution being used to justify the obvious so...

Fulaman198: I wouldn't go that far, don't forget that Jewish has nothing to do with skin colour. Are there not Jewish people who are black (Ethiopians?).

Some Fulani groups are not mixed (the most nomadic groups like the Wodaabe of Niger and Chad and the Maasinkoore of Mali). Fulani in general don't mix that much,

yes Fulani in Nigeria have mixed with Hausa, Yoruba (Illorin), Kanuri (Beri-Beri), Tamasheq, but it's not in great portions. Most Fulani don't marry outside of their culture that is just the honest truth. In Senegambia and Sierra Leone and places in far West Africa apparently some of the Fulani there are mixed with Mande (Bambara, Soninke, etc. etc.) However, it is usually the men who marry outside of the Fulani groups and not the women really. Fulani women typically end up marrying Fulani men. But the same can not be said about us men loll.

What I'm saying from ancient times till now we can not forget that Africans are the oldest people in the world

and the most diverse continent in the world.

We have always had different phenotypes of people. We have always had people as light as Alicia keys

some of those people migrated north into Europe and some of their physical characteristics changed (hair colour, hair type, eye colour, etc.) in order to better equip them for the harsher weather in Europe. That is evolution.

From what I remember there is even an indigenous tribe in South Africa who are Jewish by DNA and guess what? The white jews were not willing to accept them and that fact.

MsDarkSkin:

i am not talking about the natives my dear. I am talking about the "white Jews".



sweetie, they are already mixed. im not talking about NOW/TODAY. I am talking about Ancient peoples. The wodaabe are very much African but practice traditions that are native to the Arab world as well...down to the TEE. I wonder why... perhaps because....

that i know is fact.

Fulaman198:

What do the Wodaabe practice that is native in Arab world? they are the most pure Fulani and I don't know why they are called "Wodaabe" which in Fulani language means Outcasts. The Wodaabe just do what other Fulani did in the past pre-Arab movement in Africa. They herd their cattle, make cheese, butter, other dairy, etc. sell to the market/trade for goods. They do Gerewol once a year (usually September) after the Cure Salée (Salt cure). Wodaabe seem to be everything that Arabs do not like in fact, they are the least Arab influenced out of all Fulani. Some are Muslim, but they don't really practice the religion often.

Also the Jews in West Africa (in anciet Mali - Tomboctou) are you sure they were white? Also are you sure they mixed with the general populace, there is no proof whatsoever as to say they did mix. If anything, they were shunned from the rest of society for their religious beliefs.

Mrs.Chima:
White men rocks!

Royal-VII:
Through out the world Lightskin Men are more Desired more, also i have noticed the women who do prefer darker men always put this ignorant comment at the end..."i like em black but, not too black!"...

Whatever that means....smh.

Black people have serious issues when it comes to skin complexion

MsDarkSkin:


speaking of rocks...you're on drugs.

I ask one question...WHEN THA Bleep WERE DARKSKIN WOMEN EVER IN STYLE!?!?!?...EVER?!?!!?..ever~!?!? Lmfaooooo LmL ......Pre Slavery Dayz?...Harriet Tubmen Dayz?....

Darkskin Black women are viewed throughout the entire globe as the most unattractive women in the world. Fact.

Mrs.Chima:


Don't be jealous of the white men! They rocks!

(looking to see if Chima is looking)

MsDarkSkin: I made my point clear.
You got it. END OF.

Royal-VII:


The only point you made is that i roasted so badly thatYou were so Upset and heated, you Came back 4 hours Later and mentioned my name again which is immortally lame..considering you were posting in that 4 hour duration in the same section of the forums and purposely avoiding this thread untill "you thought" I was offline.

Lmfao....I always enjoy roasting an Insecure bitter unattractive Darkskin woman with an Inferiority complex, to the point she photoshops her own pictures to make herself appear lightskin.

If Darkskin women are in...then why are you Photoshopping your photo to make yourself appear lightskin(like so many Darkskin women do on twitter and facebook)...

~~~Lmfao~~~...stop it *Waves Hand*...Darkskin Women are losing. That is just the way of our world.

Stop it..Yall Losin...Got Damn..Let it Go...Lmfao

MzDarkSkin: lmao @ the light skinned guys.

you guys have been 'ou[/b]t of style' since the Debarge crew.        
I'm talking MID 80's!!!  

Just kidding. But seriously it might sound harsh but 9/10 when a black woman say she prefers light skinned men ([b]AGAIN NOT ALL OO) she has a self esteem issue. I know for a fact this is true. I used to want light men so that I would have light skinned babies "with green eyes and[i] GOOD[/i] hair"   I was not the only one. MY ENTIRE CREW prior to maturing was all on that same ignorant mess not to mention other black girls I knew.
