we are talking about the welfare of our own people, not of that of the half-bred whites.

Well the Africans I'm talking about are the ones who go abroad and try to act as American, British or French as possible

So yes, we live in a Brainwashed world/society. I think sooner or later everyone is going to have a tannish/brown complexion and the extremely dark people or extremely light people (black and white) will no longer exist. I don't care much for this, what I don't want is the disappearance of indigenous cultures.

Ingenious cultures will always exist at least in Africa and Asia because these regions are not multiracial/multicultural like America is. Black africans will always exist and we will see more brown people(mixed) however mostly in the western world but white populations No because their populations are decreasing and thy are having less kids. while Black populations are increasing in the caribbean and Africa. I feel most brown people as you said will be in brazil or south America for example

Why do you think the populations growing in the world are in Asia and africa while it is the reverse in Europe

Your conversation is interesting... Because I see a similarity in what goes on here in the states. You have Americans of African Descent both male and female (mostly men though) wanting to marry or procreate with anything but a black person. A krakka could look like a rebirth of the yeti but as long as they're white, these American negroes will be all up in it. Damn shame.

Glad you're sitting down, now stay seated fool. You know damn well by African standards I'm considered light skinned. You even know that by Black American standards I'm considered light skinned. It is what is is... If it makes you feel better to think that I'm dark, go ahead... truth be told, light or dark, I'm proud to be a black woman. Miss me with ya bullsh1t... loser. *curtsy*

haha... so who gives a shiit if u are considered a darkbutt or not? as long as the poosie is clean and tight and u know how to lay down the pipe with perfection, thats what matters.

btw, i didnt even know u are nigerian with a black-american mother, if not i would not have bothered arguing with a fellow nigerian prolly called temitope about her roots. so temi, na later e go be... bye!

It's mainly the Ethiopians and Eritreans (women) who are like that. Nigerian women marry white guys for money. The man could look like their grandpa and the Nigerian girl could be in her mid 20s but would marry the guy solely for the money.

I'm aware that the world is transforming more into a world I personally don't like, but what am I going to do about it? For one I want Africans to unite and be themselves instead of trying to copy Westerners so much. I feel that Eurocentricity is taking over the world "oh my kid must have straight hair and slimmer nose", "oh I don't want to be with that darkie of a man" Some Americans talk like this sha. I have even seen some East African women (Ethiopian women and Eritrean) who would rather go with a white person over a West African because they want their kids looking more white than black.

So yes, we live in a Brainwashed world/society. I think sooner or later everyone is going to have a tannish/brown complexion and the extremely dark people or extremely light people (black and white) will no longer exist. I don't care much for this, what I don't want is the disappearance of indigenous cultures.

then if you dont want the disappearance of indigenous cultures, be it here in Africa or in he jungles of Borneo and Sumatra, it is time yo change your views and realise that we Tribals are fighting to survvive. man will only progress if he learns from past-mistakes. we dont want to go the same way as the europen tribals of old and the native americans. no we dont have to if we dont want to. . angry

Pagan 9ja I will give you an example

Say for example I married Anonymous today, I'm pretty sure if we had kids, the kids would respect both the Fulani and Yoruba culture, because we are both Nigerian (like the Fulayoruba of Illorin). However her or my parents may not approve of such a marriage, but in the end the kids would recognize they are Nigerian (I actually kind of think the more intermarrying for Nigeria the better because then we will have less ethnic hatred towards one another).

it is time you stop being rascist based on colour. these are all foreing western concepts. colour hardly matters and can change due to external factor. who cares about black or yellow. what matters is identity.

populations are growing in 3rd world countries due to poverty, illitracy, disease and lack of acess to contraceptives.

This is not racist due to skin color

Color and culture go hand in hand pagan sometimes, go and preach that to arabs in north africa or white afrikaneers in south africa and see the response you get.

Identity is important, which I agree with as you say and that is what is effecting some black diasporians today.

what is your point of respect are you talking to me about temporary arrangements we have existed on this planet for past 5000 years and more and our tribes have made it into the 21stcentury and here you are talking about temporary respect which will die out b the time of the 3rd generation.Fula, i know what kind of person you are, you are one who is trying to make adjustments. how will Nigeria keep her identity if her tribes are extinct?? angry you yourself once said that Nigeria is acountry just formed 50 yrs back wheras your Fulani people ave existed since time immemorial. how are you talking about respect now when you yourself dont feel any sense of responsibilty to its preservation?? angry

why should i preach to people who i consider my foes?? angry to me only tribals matter be it here in Nigeria or in the cold mountains of Siberia or the wampy jungles of Papua New Guinea. we are the original peoples. The True original Bedu Arabs are brown-skinned. i have seen them. they are spread in the Gulf states and they hardly care for colour. som are sun-burnt black but they have strong tribal unity. i am talking of the Bedu.

so what about them. they are obviously blinded by the riches of those nations. they want to be a part of them, so they ditch their country. it is human nature and understandable. without Nationwide welfare and tribal laws and development and anti-corruption procedures, such incidednces will continue to occur. IT IS our duty to help in the progress and development of our Nation so our future generation will feel proud of their nation, identity and culture. It IS "OUR" DUTY.

Well makes sense tribe is the order of the day in Nigeria before nationalism or race but because of colonization color has had importance to black cafricnas but it never takes precedence over tribe in Nigeria, and thats why inter marriage between black diasporians and nigerians are not encouraged by majority of nigerians. So dont get me worng tribal culture is impirtant to me but I am just telling in reality sometimes things are not always clear cut

Shuwa are African Baboons parading around as Arabs. The Arabs of the peninsula have never even heard of them. either that or SHuwa are mixed but definitely not Bedouin.
and out of teh Shuwa COnfederation, the Fura, Zaghawa and the Nuba are all African tribes and many of them are Pagans. The Furas Zaghawa converted recently infact.

i am talking about the Great Arab full-blooded tribes such as the Banu Yafa, Banu Kindah, Banu Yam, Al- Rashaida, Bu Falahi (Bani Yas tribal confederation), al Murrah, Shammar, etc. and other tribes ofthe Hadhramaut.

Who are you to say who this board is made for? This is the world wide web, and people are free to come and go on this board as they please whether you like it or not. Why wouldn't you go to an AA board? On the boards I frequent, you would be more than welcomed to join in the conversation. You exclude yourself, we don't exclude you. Matter of fact, I am throwing out an invitation to you to go to the boards I frequent. The links are in my siggy. The most popular one in "My Urban Hangout".

The same as it's gotten to yours. It's a defense mechanism you use because you automatically think that AA's are going to be critical of you. Not every AA is out to be mean to you. Stop generalizing and treat people as individuals.
