whatt the hell are you talking about you are a WHITE woman!

we are not discussing tatoos here.

I would so rock it!!!

When i was young i use to secretly wish i had tribal marks because my mom had it, and i still do. There is something about tribal marks that make someone look nice, i know people might disagree with this but thats what i think.

mine was done with a hot blade and then they put local alcohol and sand over it.

Many fulanis tattoo tribal-marks, honey. And so did I. The fulani-way.

Then why not do it?

you are not Fulani. you are a white norwegian.

PAGAN 9JA:


you are not Fulani. you are a white norwegian.

And still I talk the language, had a half-fulani kid in my belly for 9months, and have fulani-tattooes.

Wopdido.

Yepp, white and norwegian. Aint nothing wrong with that

i think fulani culture allows for adoption into the tribe, just like ijaw culture also.

you do some ceremonies and become a bonafide member.

i saw something to that effect somewhere.

I did not do any seremonies, but yes, they treat me like I am a fulani. My husband fight the family for them to give me the same party an celebration as if he married a real fulani-woman, and they did that for me.

It seems like they do it because I show much respect for the tribe, and their culture and ways. I love the clothes, the language, the music, the tattooes, the jewelry..and that has uch to do with them taking me in. If I was just another fat tourist-toubab who wanted to live in the hotels and only see Senegambia and did not care less for his culture, they would not have treated me the way they do.

^ yes, even a lot of fulanis today were adopted into the culture originally, via their forebears.

i hate tribal marks!!..i think it's ridiculous and barbaric
The worse is the reason why tribal marks are given in the first place
If i had tribal marks,.................. i don't even want to imagine it!!!

the tribal mark is a symol of allegiance to defend the tribe and preserve during peace. it is not meant for half-breeds and jokers parading around and trying to "fit in". it is a symbol of responsibility to the tribe. you have already helped in the assimilation of the tribe and therefore are an enemy to it. The Gods forbid such insolence.

Oh goodness, here we go again. Make a damn thread to claim I am f-uc-king up the african people instead of blowing up every thread I answer

I am not half-breed, neither is my daughter. I am not a joker, neither is my daughter. I am not trying to "fit in", I have loved these things since I was a youngster, so you can keep your ignorance to yourself.

your daughter and you are both half-breeds. that is fact. i couldnt find any other word to describe your ethnicity. the only other word i found was mongrel. now the question is, do you want me to start calling you a mongrel

How far back do you know your own history?

My daughter is mixed, not half-breed. Are you a full-breed? Damn ugly word. Same with mongrel.
I am scandinavian. My roots up to 500 years back are scandinavian. So; you can call me white or scandinavian, as I am both. You thought I was black before, so if I never said anything, you would never know..

yes i am a full-breed. since no such word exists, you can call me full-blooded or pure-blood. you yourself said you are mixed white Sami people. and i am not so foolish as to believe you to be black. i knew you were white all along when i saw your picture.

Lol. After I said I was white, yes.
And the samis in my family come from scandinavia. Like I said; 500 years back.

Now, stop trying to put me down and slamming this thread. If you have something to say, create a new one

Then stop polluting every thread I answer in with trying to be rude about me and my daughter, then. I have shown nothing but respect in answering you, you should consider the same.

"ok."

There is no getting through to you, so for some time now, I will just ignore your attempts to insult me, and pollute peoples mind with racism.
May you be blessed in every way the universe wish for you, my energy will go for other things.
