Berbers are just a new group created by Europeans to give the glory of the Moors(black people) who conquered and ruled Southern Europe during the dark ages to their mixed offspring... Those who lived in Libya during Ancient Egypt were blacks and the Phoenicians who came afterwards with Hannibal were also blacks - hence why Gaddafi never recognised the Berbers and their language... Gaddafi confirmed it himself!!

You can't judge a person's ancestry through facial features, if you do that, then most African Americans would be pure Africans as well... However, that isn't the case - most of them with the most pronounced African features and the darkest skin are also mixed... Physical features has absolutely nothing to do with admixture....


Mariah Carey is half black but she looks 100% white:

shymexx: If Igbos never had contacts with Europeans before colonialisation, how come they make up a large percentage of the slaves taken to the new world??

This sounds like gist for the truly crase. Berbers are the indigenous people of northern Africa, and as you said, not all are "white". Gadafi was an Arab and the Arabs conquered and are suppressing the Berbers. Anyway Libya is not my concern because even the ancient Egyptians took up paint and drew what they look like for all to see.

Mariah Carey's father is from South America and is probably more mixed than someone with one white parent which is why she looks like that. So you can't judge through facial features but skin?

Another thing that Is Mysterious about the whole "Igbos obtained their complexion from Mixing Is"

Their mixing happened relatively recent.

As compared to cases such as the Fulani and Somali

So one would presume that since the "mixing" took place more recently, that would Theoretically lead Them scoring higher on the Admixture charts.

Seeing as how they didn't have enough time to "Remix" back into something more close to purity.

Yet they don't score high...as a matter of fact...they don't score any points on admixing charts.

In the slave trade era, there was something called MIDDLEMEN. The KALABARI who do in fact have SOME European ancestry as well as a good number of solid European family names, are the ones who greeted the Europeans and then sold Igbo slaves from the Aro-Igbo who trekked to Bonny and other places after getting their slaves from the inside where raids were tearing up the land, on the other side were the EFIK of Calabar. Mind you these journeys were made by men only (apart from captured people). Igbo people NEVER sold slaves directly to Europeans in significant numbers.

I am telling you bro...It's the Forrest Region

Nothing More..Nothing Less.

Africans of the Densely Forested Regions are Lighter than Those of who migrated downwards from the Sahel and Sahara.

I believe that is all it is.

Again though, i could be wrong.

Maybe future dna testing with advanced technology can shed more light......Maybe.

Jet Black Skin is a "Later" Adaption from Climate Conditions(Extreme Sunlight,Dryness)

Which is why the Senegalese and Western Malians are so Dark

Most people would ignorantly assume the congolese are the darkest.

Not true at all

So geographically, it is not surprising as to why the Igbos are Lighter than many of the groups further west.(West Africa)

If Berbers are indigenous to Libya, how come archaeological excavations keep digging up pure negroes in North Africa and Libya?? Where were the Berbers when Hannibal was in Carthage(Don't tell me Hannibal was a Berber as well)?? Where were the Berbers when the Moors ruled North Africa??

shymexx: Mariah Carey is 50% black - her dad has both Afro-Venezuelan and African American ancestry and her facial features(except prob. the cheekbones) look Caucasoid to me...

shymexx:

R1b DNA already proved that Edos and Igbos have a significant amount of people with European ancestry - you just can't argue against that...

ezeagu:

Where did you get this R1b European nonsense from?

shymexx:

How about the slaves who escaped??

However, Europeans also hunted slaves in the African interior by themselves...

Crayola1: What's with all this broad features nonsense, a good deal of Nigerians have broad features that one would consider African, not just Igbo people

bokohalal: Europeans mixed with Binis,no doubt.

There is a small house right by the moat at Isekhere/Ibiwe opposite Ebo (that says a lot)Street where a Bini family lives. Their features are Afro-European.They have relevance in some aspect of Bini tradition though I do not know exactly what their function is.

The appellation of the Bazuaye family is 'Ogie n Ebo'. We know what Bini tradition demands to become a chief.

It is on record that some Portuguese mercenaries fought alongside Edo warriors to defeat the Igalas. Idah is north east of Benin city. Esan and Afenmai are on the way.We sabi sojas nau.Then and now!

This is just in response to those that posit that the Europeans were 'celibate' in ancient Benin.

I'm not even interested in this sort of black-nationalist argument about Nuba people taking over Dublin. All I know is that Berbers are indigenous to north Africa and have been victims of Arab imperialism. Whether there were Maasai people called Hannibal ( by the way from which African language did this name originate?) or Zulu's ruling Tunisia, I don't care for this talk.

Yes, USA Black, but not black in the sense of more than 90% black African ancestry.

shymexx: Haplogroup R1B (Y-DNA) Map...




^^^You can clearly see the Igbo region and Northern Cameroon on the map... If there's no race admixture, how come R1B Western European DNA is prominent among Igbos??

shymexx: One-drop is the same thing everywhere, even in Europe... Mixed raced people are considered light-skinned blacks out here and most of them live as black people...

As an Igbo Woman, Don't be offended.
