If you are not an African, you cannot be an African. An Indian knows that he is from the country of India respects that. A Chinese knows that he is from the country called China and respects that fact.
A Black American is from the country called Americana and should respect that fact!

chikenna

If you hold an affinity to the African continent and recognise its history and its cultures as part of your heritage then you are fit to call your self an African American.

If you feel your history began on the slave ships that took "Africans" to th new world and therefore your only identity is the difference in your skin color to other Americans then you should identify yourself as a "Black American" tis that simple.

You cannot have it both ways.

An indian or or Chinese respects the old wolrd culture his ancestors are from which is why he has no problem with accepting that label. Many so call "black" Americans have no idea of or no affinity to the continent of their origins.


It really irritates me when AA's refer to Africa as the "mother" country like it is some far away planet that cannot be reached.

The action "made," would definitely disqualify him as the "Maker!" The Maker, Who is The Only True God, can not be MADE. Jesus was made (at least by your account into Flesh, so that he can dwell among man. But The True God does not have to dwell among His Creations). The fact that The True God is not made, because there should not be a maker for Him, since He makes everything, and that He Lords Over everyone, there is no need for Him to dwell among us, in our earthly realm. Have you ever seen a King dwelling in the Slums, or even with ordinary citizens, before he can excercise his Kingly responsibilities over them? Yet Kings are part of the creations, like you and me and oh, the atheists and agnostics. And all of us, including the Kings still need The True God for all of our sustenances. No one can do without what God proves: air, Oxygen, etc, water, the vegetations and flesh.


Its ironic that Jesus did not tell anyone in all the time in his earthly ministry, about his second coming according to your writing, above. But he left to heaven first, according to you, before he told people on earth. Why would he have to go to heaven first before he did so? Is it because, the One who has the Power to get him body and soul to heaven was the One in control, rather than Jesus? It will assumed that Jesus like all the other prophets and messengers before him, did not have complete knowledge, and definitely not everything about the future. This was the reason Jesus did not know and did not give the info about his second coming while stil on earth. The same inabsolute knowledge he displayed when asked about the time of the Hour. No wonder he prayed, begged to be saved from death at the Garden of Geshemane.

s4d:
i know he predicted the sept.11th attack on the united states but he got the actual date wrong because he said "in the year 1999" while it happened 2001(2 years later)

its obvious if he said in the year 1999 you should be skeptical about his predictions.

What are the holes in the 'Out of Africa' theory?[/quote]Sorry I meant to say competing theories out there against the "Out of Africa" hypothesis.

The "multiregional" theory states that modern human evolved seperately and date the out of Africa migratinos to as early as 2 million years ago as gues in an effor to further seperate from the single line theory and attributing european gene pools to admixtures with nearndathals. While this theory stinks of racism and bias it can't for now quite be discarded so I can't be 100% convinced of the OOA theory just yet.

Angelheart:
Nigerians! Always defensive and in DENIAL. I am not leaving Nairaland, I need it to de-stress and vent out and I always get helped. Keep going onnnn,

Some of you people get so emotional that you do not know how to argue. Why get personal,

NO to a visa-free policy between Nigeria and South Africa.

Ah so you need us but we don't need you. Interesting?

BLACK SKIN IS THE GENETIC PARENT

Whites cannot reproduce anything but themselves! Through powerful propaganda and indoctrination we have been completely oblivious to what having white skin really means. We have been skillfully mislead to believe that white skin is mankind’s anthropological model and should be coveted. However, recent research paints a picture of white skin that is just the antithesis of what we have been brainwashed to believe. The polar bear analysis that was done by the Discovery Channel helps prove my point. If you shave the hair off a polar bear, the skin beneath is black. In nature the skin of the polar bear is black to absorb as much heat and light as possible to keep the arctic animal warm in its environment. It is also true for the Eskimo (Inuit). Human adaptation remains an insufficiently studied part of climate and climate change. Scientists have tried for years to prove that the environment was responsible for altering heredity.
Eskimos have brown skin. Eskimos have broad, flat noses. Africans have brown skin. Africans have broad, flat noses. Scientific studies have reported that people are dark because they live near the equator—not because they are Negroid or have a Negroid admixture. There are repeated arguments made by anthropologists when referring to Arabs being brown in color because of the equalitarian closeness. So what about the brownness of skin that occurs in mankind who live the furthest from the equator—the Artic? Also, the Eskimos’ nose shape does not work to explain temperature-dependencies. Broad, flat noses are more beneficial in hot environments—Oh really! .Scientifically speaking, Black objects absorb heat very well and also emit heat very well. If heat wasn’t emitted at the same rate as was is absorbed, the black object would just get hotter and hotter until it melted. A black beaker cools down much faster than a shiny beaker that does not absorb or emit heat well at all. That is why snow does not melt in cold weather even when the sun is falling directly on it. All of the incident light energy is reflected away and none (or very little) is absorbed.
If black absorbs heat and light and white reflects it, how can we say that white people are adapted more to cold environments than warm? That insinuation that white skin is a result of environmental adaptation is the same orthodox dogma that we have been spoon fed for generations, however when subjected to scientific scrutiny it doesn’t hold water. Reports FALSELY SUGGESTED that Senegalese troops during World War I and Ethiopian troops during the Korean War showed higher rates of frostbite and frozen feet in the African soldiers than their European counterparts. The laboratory work of the researchers also suggested that black skin tissue was more prone to cold injury; however white skin also exhibited some damage. After further research the following was indicated: It was SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN that samples of black skin tissue were less vulnerable to cold damage than the lighter European tissue. This does not sound indicative of white skin being more suitable to cold climates.
Caucasians have a higher concentration of enzyme inhibitors that suppress melanin production, according to Halprin & Ohkawara, 1966. White people also have calcified pineal glands. You may ask how does this imply that white skin is a genetic defect, The pineal gland secretes melatonin, which activates the pituitary to release M.S.H. (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone). It is in the melanocytes that melanin (Greek “melas”=black) is produced. Melanin is somewhat analogous to chlorophyll in plants. What a lot of people don’t realize is that melatonin is also related to fertility. Those with pigmented skin have the highest counts of melanocytes in the Instruments and nipples. The pigmentation in these areas can be influenced by sex hormones like estrogens and androgens. During pregnancy, the nipples, face, and abdominal wall become darkened. These areas of increased pigmentation during pregnancy are due to the increase in the production of estrogens. Anthropologists try to account for the fact that the Instruments are darker by suggesting that protection is needed against ultraviolet radiation damage, and has been thus evolved through natural selection. This means that protection of the Instruments against forces that may prevent reproduction was needed. Similarly, in this view, the pigmentation of the nipples during pregnancy would be a defense against ultraviolet radiation damage to the nipples. Supposedly, this type of protection would be needed while breast-feeding during the early evolution of humans in Africa. According to Robins, 1991, darker pigmentation found in the genitals, may have evolved for the “protection of reproductive capacity”, in that the pigmentation protects gametes within the Instruments from ultraviolet radiation damage. This is a direct result of why white people have the lowest birthrates of all people on the planet and are going extinct. Their melanin deficiency is why their reproduction system does not work as efficiently as it should. Whites attribute their failure of reproduction to behavioral or societal reasons. However, the reason is more a biological one. Melanin is present at the inception of life: A Melanin sheath covers both the sperm and the egg! In the human embryo, the melanocytes (skin pigment cells), brain and nerve cells all originate from the same place; the neural crest. Melanocytes resemble nerve cells and are essential for conveying energy. When Melanin is missing or insufficient in the ectoderm of the early embryo (blastula), this causes the mother to lose her baby; in the case of whites, a defective baby is produced, and over time, through inbreeding, wears down the already pathetically low levels of melanin. Reproduction stops altogether and virtual infertility is the end result. As far as vitamin D metabolization, white people have the lowest bone density of all people on the planet. The skin is supposed to convert sunlight to Vitamin D because of 7-Dehydrocholesterol. However, white people reflect the sunlight so that the body compensates by depleting calcium from their bones. It makes whites more susceptible to kidney stones than any other race of people. The depletion of bone mass is responsible for their low bone density. It is widely regarded that black people have the strongest bones of all people from infancy to old age.
Melanin has been proven to not only being beneficial to the human reproductive system and nervous system, but melanin also plays an important part in sight and hearing. Blue eyes are simply eyes that lack melanin. Blue eyes are more sensitive to sunlight and do not process light or produce sight as efficiently as brown eyes. Isn’t it funny how many people place divine qualities with blue eyes that are nothing but genetically defective? Melanin is also said to be linked with hearing. Melanocytes are present in the inner ear, the eye, and in the membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord. It has been demonstrated that melanin deposits in these areas are proportional to the amount of melanin found in the skin. These areas of the body, similar to the skin, are exposed to high-energy free radicals that can damage the surrounding cells, and thus causes a lower threshold for hearing. Evidence shows that black people, on average, hear better than whites, and that within both races, women surpass men. A partial explanation of the differences may lie in the abundance in the inner ear of melanin pigments. Also, numerous studies have found that people with light eye colors, such as blue, green, and hazel are more vulnerable to hearing damage than are people with black or brown eyes. The late renowned Anthropologist, Dr. Margaret Meade, in an experiment with indigenous Australians, Black Melanesian Islander children and white Anglo-Saxon children in the US, revealed that the “memory bank” of black children was greater and their “instant recall ability” from memory, outstanding. She, like most renowned researchers, concluded that black children have a deeper memory bank and hence higher IQ than their counterpart European and American Biochemists have attributed this great phenomenon to ‘neuro-melanin’ - a chemical responsible for black.
In his book, “The Chemical Key to Black Greatness” American Biochemist, Carol Barnes, described melanin as, “a civilizing chemical that acts as a sedative to help keep the black human calm, relaxed, caring, creative, energetic and civilized”. Research also revealed that melanin enables black skin to actively interact with the sun, to produce Vitamin D from a biochemical substance, 7- dehydrocholesterol. The study also detected that, melanin has spiritual dynamics as well as physical, since it acts as a sensory ‘receptor’ and ‘transmitter’; communicating with cosmic energy fields in the vast universe converting light energy to sound energy and back. Dr. Richard King, MD, stated that, “melanin, by its ability to capture light and hold it in a memory mode, reveals that blackness converts light into knowledge”.
With all of this information, we can plainly see that melanin is ESSENTIAL for the efficient performance of all of the body’s natural functions. It seems a little ironic, that white people deem themselves genetically superior with the oxymoron of white supremacy. There is nothing supreme about a genetic defect. White people are merely mutated inbred albinos. This alone adds credence to them being an inferior stock. To feel better about themselves they develop totally senseless propaganda to flatter them and to make they feel better about their genetic condition at the expense of people of color. The doll test, where it has been reported that both white kids and black kids prefer WHITE dolls is solely out of ignorance, that I have termed “centuries of BRAINWASHARY.” It has clearly been shown that white skin is actually indicative of albinism. Albinism is a genetic defect. Who in their right mind would prefer a genetically defective condition to one that is Nature’s normal and has been proven more efficient? .This is why we need to continue our crusade to decolonize the minds of the original genetic template (black people) to see through the nonsense propagated by white people to flatter themselves. Total ignorance can be fought with knowledge. A more recent tactic white people use to appease themselves is the “Implicit Association Test.” They have devised a means to make it seem as though white people are supposed to be the most desirable people on the planet and that everyone wants to be like them and be around them. If you can see through the nonsense, then you will know what I mean. Would you want to be around a bunch of paranoid genetic defects with psychological problems and with intermittently inferior genes? In a nutshell, black people, being the original genetic template are the only fully NORMAL people on the planet. White people are albinos (recessive genetic defects) and other ethnicities are merely admixtures in between. Always remember these points, and you should never have to hold your head down to any recessive genetic defects. All phenotypes exist within the black family. Asian people are only the semi-recessive descendants of their ancestors who were a black African tribe with slanted eyes. White people are the albinos of a specific group of Africans and have inherited those people’s phenotypes. They try to imply that their phenotypes were originally theirs and that if you see people of African descent with these features, they inherited them from white people. Nothing is further from the truth. Blacks are the genetic parents. Remember, whites cannot reproduce anything else but themselves. They cannot reproduce genetic material they don’t have,  melanin. Therefore, they cannot reproduce us, but we can reproduce them and all others in humanity.
This should also convince you that all of the great civilizations from antiquity had to be started by us. White people with their recessive genes and poor reproductive systems, could not have lasted that long, seemingly that they are disappearing faster than anything now. Breeding with us, or breeding without us.

Damn Horus! You should post this on the website Stormfront.

While I agree with most of your points above I do believe some of your statements are quite harsh and I am uncomfortable with the rederick as it reminds me of similar propangada by your supposed opponents on the race issue. After all mutations are not necessarily defects and as Dr Xavier would say mutants are also human too you know.

My name is not someone and I am the one who said SA's don't know what a visa is and the reason is not because you are so comfortable in your country. The real reason is because of your bantustans where you were carrying non south african passports which most of the world did not recognise safe SA Apartheid govt, so technically that was the only country you could travel into and get recognized. Some of you have therefore developed the fear of strangers since you have been stuck in one spot for such a long time and don't know there is world tha exists outside of SA.

Pity. Go and fix your country and stop making other people scape goats.

Horus:
There is no longer a question of which race was on the planet first. All scientists are in agreement that Negroes are the oldest race on the planet with five fingers and five toes, having wooly lamb’s hair, also melanin, and that all others ,Mongoloid and Caucasoid come out of the original Negroid gene. They are our children; we are their parents and that’s why it hurt so much when we found out that they were evil continually (Genesis 6:5). The last string of a defected gene is the albino as they have recently found the albino gorilla, alligator, buffalo, snake, and many other creatures who have reached the end of their genes.
So it is with the human race and the albino of the human race because the Caucasians are at the last strand of their genes, who have no place in history. So, he takes on other peoples way of life and culture, mixes his seed into their seed, uses his influence and will to take control. He starts off subtle; for example, he takes over the Carnival Of The Black Portuguese in Brazil which has been going on for centuries. They gradually took over the carnival by controlling the floats through the rest of the Caribbean. They took over the powwow of the Native Americans. They have even planted themselves into everything and has actually taken over the image of Jesus Christ and made him Bar-Jesus as a beast, in the image of the beast and giving it life. What I mean is they created Jesus both talking and walking through movies, videos, etcetera to convince you of his untrue looks.

Guy, you have a lot on your mind. Don't worry about White people their reign is almost at an end I think they know it too.

They should be Shot!

I am not surprised seeing that Mary Sclessor had to stop those hooligans from Killing their twin children after they claimed one of the twins was possessed or evil.

It is happening again.

Some of this people are lucky that assault weapons are illegal in Naija. you would have been hearing about pastors and evangelical preachers dropping dead at random from unknown gun shot wounds.

Imbeciles!!!

Does anyone have a link to the documentay on channel 4 . I would like to see it

I started this thread during the beginning of my quest to understanding the origins of so called "races' and variations in human pheno and genotypes and have sourced out numerous studies, theories and personal observations.

At this point I am leaning towards the "out of Africa" theory which has a lot fo strong research and scientifc backing.

Though the theory does have many holes in it which need to continued research. It is the best there is out there.

As for the question how did black people become black. I think I phrased that question rhetorically and now fully understand how genetics and enviromental factors influence the outcome of the phenotypical and genotypical make up of human beings.

Some south Africans still don't know what a "Visa" is so how can this benefit them. Go and ask a lot of them if they know what an SA passport looks like.

I believe there is a sharp decline in the number of nigerians wanting to travel to South Africa for business, education or pleasure save some few desperate souls so visa free or not I don't think its a priority destination.

So my SA brothers and sisters don't worry. You are safe.

Hey! I believe Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and I can explain how:

He held his breath for  72 hours without oxygen.

Fed on the remains of what ever the Whale had eaten and he used whale oil to light the small lantern he had with him before he got swalloed so he could see inside the belly of the beast.

Oh yea I might also add I alsoo believe angels mated with humans to bring forth the first giants of the earth like Golliath and I am indepthed to them for this mischievious act because if not for them there wouldn't be any NBA seasons.

Damn I am just thinking of how much money I wouldn't have made on gambling.

Poster.

Please go and read up more on abortion and how sensitive a topic it is. To each his own interpretation.

Cayon:
Now that you've got that off your chest you feel like smoking a cigar right?

Don't mind that slowpoke. Maybe he should move to SA and watch how they flame him up on the streets of JB

we shall overcome!

At least she lived to see one of her own become President of the Free world.

Mama Africa you are not dead. Your spirit still lives within many of us.

I have been following the unfolding situation since the ousting of President Mbeki in SA and see this situation as a spiral down to further conflicts down the line for the politial structure in SA.


I think SA is in a state of confusionism as to what direction to take the country. I foresee greater problems down the line leading up to the 2010 World cup and please this is not to say the event will not take place but it casts a dim shadow over it.

What do you think the country should be doing to strengthen its image ad what direction should it be taking at this point?

The Poster probably thinks he is the ANTICHRIST come to usher the end of the world. Heard this a thousands times.

Whats wrong poster. What are you afraid of?

i see you dey trtavell well well. Good for you. keep up the good work . WEST AFRICA ALL THE WAY.

IT just means the people are not ready yet and a majority of them still hold to the belief that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Things do change though, as we witnessed a day ago.

I for one support it.

There are more imprtant things to do with the money . How can we be hosting world cups when we can't even assure citizens of constant electricity in any state. Hte decision to withdraw is sound in my opinion. the issue is will the cut back money be used to do something that will benefit the country as an equivalent of the opportunity cost of not hosting the event.

If someone is always talking about you on their fourms whether good or bad it means you are important.

You should be worried when they stop talking about us. it means we are slacking.
