someone said a chinese couple gave birth to a black baby in Africa.

do you need an unidentified flying object to tell you  chinese + chinese does not produce black negro.

   Jamaican patois even have the terms "red Ibo" and "yellow Ibo" to describe black people with lighter skin tones. It is also were the American terms "red bone" or "yellow bone" comes from.

I'm glad "your boy" has taken the time to study the etymological origins of his patois. But I can assure you, the etymology of the word "redi bo" comes from "red Ibo."If you would like sources, I expect you would ask.

"Your boy" could be Dudus's son for all I care. If he doesn't know jack-shite about the history of the language he speaks, he knows nothing. That is all.

Sure, but u, an Ibo man, knows more about his language and history than him, right? wow!

No, being an amateur ethnolinguist, I know about the history of that particular word, and how it came about in the patois's and creoles that sprang up in the American South and in the Caribbean.

Wuteva! I'm the guy that invented the Microwave, AirBus, and Torpedo! Like I asked: Do u know the language more than a native born Jamaican?

I am becoming very disappointed in Nairaland. I'd expected a healthy discussion, not having to explain simple terms to a person with limited comprehension, but I will recap my last arguments:

1. the baby is as light as she is because it is a gene relatively common among Igbo people. It means nothing or the other, except what you make of it.
2. the term "red Ibo" comes about because of this. It means nothing or the other, except what you make of it.

That said, the term "red bone" came from Anglicized pronunciation of "red Ibo" as "redi bo." Here are the sources:

This is the last response you will get. Yeah. That means you won't get another one.

Believe me, none would be needed! And to use your own club to cave your head in. . . . . .



" If there is a pidgin variety in the area at the time of the formation if the word, the form *redi [/b]with enclitic vowel could haved developed; the vowel would have later been taken as belonging to the second etymon. [b]An optional nasalization rule like that postulated by Alleyne (1980) might have reduced bone to bo, or rather have caused the general group of whites who observed the pidgin to analyze bo as[i] bone[/i]."

So, seeing as I used something u provided me to prove my boy right, dont u think u'd be better off switching professions. Say, going from a self-proclaimed amateur ethnolinguist to, maybe, a full time, Professional i*di.ot?

did I just read somewhere that the lady's mum's name is AMEBO?
