Distinguishing people based on color of the skin. And creating an hierarchy on who's superior based on color of skin. Africans didn't come up with that.

How do you know it never existed, when all African tribes migrated from almost the same?

I know you don't believe in the Kemet/Sudan/Congo migration of black people to the other parts of Africa - but can you provide an alternate source of our migration?

Personally, my scholarship shows we used to be the same people, before the invaders invaded Africa - and there were different migration patterns, and periods..

No tribe is indigenous to present day West Africa - we all came from the same Kemet/Sudan/Kush region - and we all used to be one big tribe.

Royal-VII:


Well, that's not true

Historians throughout history have always pointed to the fact that BLACK GODS were always painted as pure black..Black Face Black Body...

While Devils were colored Pure white.

There are examples of this prior to even european invasion

I don't wanna venture off topic though.....

Then ill start randomly talking about the ignorant murder of albino babies and such.....And that's too far off topic for me right now

If being black was very important why was it easy for Africans to sell their brothers and not kill the white men that set foot on African soil? I would think if color was that important, white people would have been slaughtered like chickens, although some were, I have to add. Besides things like being an albino were all done out of ignorance. I could name a number of atrocities perpetuated by Africans like twins being killed, all under the umbrella of ignorance not color.

shymmex: Pyramid picture separating the races:

MsDarkSkin:

that is a SCIENTIFIC fact.
but even though we are related...we still don't LIKE our own.
that is the point.

There is division and animosity within other races (Russians vs. ALL of Westen Europe ), Koreas vs eachother, Japan vs. ALL of Asia , Pakistan vs. India...etc BUT those people would let go of ANY BEEF, GRUDGE, or HATRED when it comes to taking on outsiders..TRUST THAT...Us? No effin way!!

Royal-VII:
Ms D ill be back i gotta take care of some shid

Stop cheating on me with Ayanle

shymmex:

It's been like that for a long time - Africans/Blacks have always distinguished themselves from other races..

I'll provide a picture on the Egyptian pyramid to prove that.

We saw ourselves as one thousands of years ago, and we always separated ourselves from other races.

shymmex:

Thank you!

That's the problem with black people - we're always trying too hard to be different... I think the Europeans did a good job on us..

We don't even have an identify - isn't it shameful that we're the ONLY race of people on this planet without our own IDENTITY??

That's basically why I don't waste my time arguing about culture/history with people on this forum - everyone is just stuck on the Eurocentric point of view, and spewing that mumbo jumbo trash they read in school.

I'm off to the fashion section.

PhysicsQED:

Oh I read it. But by the "elite" you must have meant the elite white people through scholarships and admissions, and not the elites in Africa - cause the elites in Africa aren't doing jack sh1t for poor Africans that want to study abroad.

MsDarkSkin:

And that is why Kandiikane and Sexkillz are called "yellow" and "albino" by other Africans right?

Oh damn...my bad Americans/Europeans are to blame.

Mrs.Chima:

Yes...the "White man".

That's why I said that most African students are here by way of their well to do families. If you are not an American citizen...you are no entitled to any Pell Grant nor Student loans unless otherwise specified.

But for ANY student visas...you need to have at least 20,000 dollars in savings/checking, full tuition PAID IN FULL BY THE interview date, and room and board covered before they would even LOOK AT YOU. Other countries may have different stipulations but I am referring to America.

MsDarkSkin:

lol EXACTLY...Pidgin, patois, creole, krio are ALL frickin Africanized renditions of European languages...ITS ALL THE SAME...E-B-O-N-I-C-S...as you say, some of you folks reading this thread who share their views please, "step ya game up!"

Anything associated with Africa in the west is ridiculed..."Africanized Bees"...used to describe a breed of bees that are aggressive in nature...

"Afro." is unprofessional, unclean, nappy and a symbol of rebellion...

"black" is depressing, dark and evil....

"ebonics" CORRUPTION of established languages...I mean come on now...

I ain't trying to turn into Asada Shakur but when it comes to a ppl coming from a continent that is constantly disrespected, disregarded and r@ped..one would think that mentality would be rejected and shunned but nah....it's embraced more than ever. NOT ALL Africans...but enough to make any type of peace and solidarity of any kind impossible.



don't get sh0t now!

lol...i respect the guy that's all.

stillwater:

No, it is Black people in the diaspora, that will not take such insults as just insults but a racial slur. Calling somebody yellow in Nigeria has no racial connotations. It's the same as saying 'blackie shadow' to a dark person. Just pure nursery school insults. Nothing more, nothing less. Nobody attaches racial connotations to these things. Nigerians did not suffer from slavery or live in a racially tensed environment. What we consider as insults are i.diot, you must be st.upid, you are silly etc, and not 'you are yellow', 'you are an albino'. Ok?

MsDarkSkin:
bruv...i agree with you but the Europeans only played on what they observed.."divide and conquer"....
only thing was it was a slice of cake for them when it came to Africa because we were so damn tribal..

We didn't mind trading a mirror for another's life (at first a rival tribe..but then later on one's own RELATIVES!). Or having a kool aid smile when given guns to shoot/capture each other...

Kunta Kinte...Patrice Lumumba...different time periods...SAME SHYT.

MsDarkSkin:
Nlders calling sexkillz a "(gay) albino" (even posting pictures of east african albinos to represent him)

PhysicsQED:

lmao

shymmex:

Add always eager to sell each other out for personal gains to the list - and you will get a clearer picture of an African..

Soulless bodies just walking around with no plan, and sense of belonging - doing what the 'massa' has programmed them to do..

Imagine another clown saying ideology and beliefs...Bwahahahaha

Your ideology and beliefs won't stop the Police from stopping you for DWB (Diving While Black)...

MsDarkSkin:

right...yet both kandi and sexkillz seemed a bit annoyed and perplexed at the beginning...
i know what you mean because the same thing applies in the caribbean.

Fat girl "fatty"..dark guy "blacka/blacker"...dark girl "blacky"...light girl "red/brownin'".

Those are terms used to describe ppl HOWEVER the acceptance of such names depends highly on the context.
Nlders calling sexkillz a "(gay) albino" (even posting pictures of east african albinos to represent him) is far from using it as a term of endearment. or in the past when ppl argued with kandi, they too called her "albino"...(hence the sarcasm in her signature)...

so..i don't buy that.

PhysicsQED:

All "well to do" is a misconception. There are too many Africans here that aren't well to do financially that I've met and know personally (whose children are in school) to believe that.

Why do people seem to believe that Indians or Koreans or other Asians can come here, some of them not being "well to do", work, put their children through school and achieve things and that's normal, but it's assumed that any African or African student has/had "well to do" parents and was rich to start with? That's what those white people do who want to convince themselves that blacks aren't mentally capable - or lack the drive or work ethic - of achieving the so called "American dream". It reassures them of the inferiority of the group they already perceive as inferior and it allows them to continue trying to ignore history as an explanation for the problems of the black people already here.

Don't believe everything you hear from one supposedly authoritative source.

MsDarkSkin:
lighter skinned people have always been in Africa, so if this was the case and everyone was used to it and saw them as no different...why would they be made fun of/mocked (BY Africans...who have seen them all their lives)?

...oh yeah! how could I forget...this was because of the Europeans...got you.

stillwater:

Darker people are also made fun of by Africans,

See this illiterate baboon, loool albino yano, noone ask you to pay and even if you had to you cannot afford it,

I bet you look like charcaol
