[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=833742.msg9981395#msg9981395 date=1326764338]you can tell the mixed ones from the indegenous ones
through their history as well as by their features.

typical west africans are dark skinned and the difference is clear when you compare them to AA.
even the AAs themselves will be the first to say "you look african" if you are very dark skinned with big lips, nose and sharp features.
far too many of them have been diluted so they don't have that typical west african look anymore.

I don't even know why we are arguing this because I assume it's common knowledge. that african features are stronger than AA.
igbos are lighter skinned compared to yorubas so they look more AA in comparison.

about the mixed vs indegenous thing:
a light skinned igbo will still have very kinky hair
where as a light skinned african american will generally have looser hair texture.
same with light skin indegenous SA who will have very kinky hair,  but a colored SA will have looser hair texture.

this gives you a hint of who's mixed vs who's indigenous.[/quote]GBAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT THE ARGUMENT is why are there more light skinned black Americans than Africans?

if pple think the light skinned Africans who are in the minority is a result of European mixture back in the day. .then the reasons why African Americans are more light skinned is because they mixed with more europeans compared to the black Africans

light skinned africans are the result of mixing. it doesn't make them any less african but they are.

my bf's mother is light skinned and his father dark in complexion. On his mother's side they are light due to a certain "ancestor" who himself was light skinned in complexion due to having African AND Arab blood.

A post by Mzdarkskin a long time ago\

I get thats why Africans Americans are MORE light skinned than Africans due to more mixture with EUROPEANS!!

SIERRALEONIANS ARE MAJORITY BLACK

Far darker than Igbos

A mixed African

MsDarkSkin:
DUMBASS THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU FO0L!!!
IF MARLEY IS LIGHTSKINNED BECAUSE HE IS MIXED AND AS YOU PUT IT, LIGHT SKIN = MIXED
WOULDNT IT MEAN LIGHT SKINNED AFRICANS ARE MIXED? OLOSHI! I COMPARED HIM TO SEXKILLZ
FOR EMPHASIS! IF HE IS THAT COMPLEXION BECAUSE HE IS MIXED WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT SEXKILLZ
AND OTHER LIGHT AFRICANS' GENES?

Why am i wasting my time on this dunce?

Sexkills is just a light skinned African. MARLEY IS MIXED. and you can see he has white features unlike sexkills

theres a difference between a light skinned African and a BIRACIAL African

it is incomparable

which West African looks like TYRA BANKS?

except he had a direct white or mixed parent?

coogar:
and that is because white men occupied south africa far longer than other african countries.
south africa is the worst example you can whip out - why don't we have brown-light skinned in the hinterland of africa - i.e. land-locked countries where the slave ships couldn't get to. . . .africans are predominantly black. the light-skinned ones have been doctored somewhere in their family tree.

DUMB!!

SOUTH AFRICANS HARDLY MIXED WITH THE EUROPEANS. Only few South Africans worked in the white communities. Most of them were in their own communities and school

Botswana and Malawi People are light skinned yet little European Mixture

MsDarkSkin:
@ jenifa you can laugh all you want to but just like tpia obviously you know nothing about genetics!!


AND I QUOTE!! ^^IF WE ARE GOING BY THE LIGHT SKIN = MIXED LOGIC 

sexkillz (the nairalander) is the same complexion as bob.
yet ONE has a white father!!

so what does that say?!!

OKAY THIS IS THE DUMBEST POST you have made on NAIRALAND!

Marley is light skinned because his mixed. his direct father is mixed.

MsDarkSkin:
"her friend" has a name. don't get upset with me because your "proper african" bubble has officially been busted!!

Akata this, akata that and a lot of you mofos are as mixed as we are. regardless of complexion many africans have dark skin but have a lighter skin parent. they azzes are mixed too.

BUT THEY ARE MORE LIGHTER SKINNED AA'S THAN US. GO TO GHANA and SIERRALEONE EVERYONE there is black as CHARCOAL

coogar:
the africans that are light-skinned are as a result of the exploits of the caucasians during the slave-trade.
white men slept with many women back in those days as well. some slaves also returned back to africa pregnant with the seeds of the white men.
africans are predominantly black!

nop go to Southern African country thay are MAJORITY BROWN-LIGHT SKINNED

YES West AFRICANS ARE PREDOMINATELY BLACK. .YES BUT U CANT DENY THEY ARE MORE LIGHT SKINNED AFRICAN AMERICANS? SO WHY?

MsDarkSkin:
LOL why cant YOU accept that you are full of shiet? 
answer my question. if we are light because of mixture, doesn't that mean light skinned africans are mixed too?!!!

they are light skinned AFRICANS . YES I KNOW BUT THEY ARE MORE LIGHT SKINNED BLACK AMERICANS!!

SO WHY ARE THEY MORE LIGHT SKINNED AA;S?

MsDarkSkin:
LOL why cant YOU accept that you are full of shiet? 

my fellow Africans agree with am saying . .not so full of shi-t this time

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=833742.msg9981113#msg9981113 date=1326760072]hahaha goodluck arguing with her.

I'm starting to feel that ms chima doen't understand english very well.
same way I was trying to tell her that igbos are more AA looking than yorubas.
she couldn't understand my post for the life of her.

she thought I was saying "all igbos look AA" "all yorubas look non-AA"
just the way she's thinking you mean "all AA are lightskin" "all africans are dark skin"
even though you clearly said AAs are more lighter skinned than Africans.

two word she needs to add to her vocabulary:
relative, absolute.
she seems to be thinking in absolute terms and can't grasp the concept of relativism (not referring the theory).[/quote]Some Igbos look AA. some yoruba look like AA but more Igbos do. .you are correct
while Hausa look like East Africans

I dont know why they cant accept the fact they have more light skin blacks than Africans

MsDarkSkin:
LOL!!  

wow!! i don heard it all!
no not most of us are of west african descent first of all, we are mixed btn central and west african
both regions dominated by dark people and second, i could have sworn i told some igbos that they were mixed and they damn near bit my head off and now you an Igbo, telling me light skin = mixed. LAWD!!

if they are not mixed then why do they have more lighter skinned blacks than Africans? Didnt they all come from Africa?

Remember Africa is majority black we dont always have the chance 2 mix with white/spanish like you  AA's

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=833742.msg9981034#msg9981034 date=1326758838]If that was the case then what is your explanation with dark skinned Black Americans?   The same thing goes for North, Central, South, and East Africans as well.  Why are many of them "light skinned"?  They are mixed with European folks too huh? 

Let just say all Black Americans are mixed with white folks, then why are some Nigerians who aren't mixed with white folks are light skinned?  

Skin pigmentation and levels of melanin has nothing to do with whether one is mixed or not.  If that was the case then that should suffice "light skinned" Africans are mixed as well.[/quote]they are light skinned Africans but you cant deny they are more light skinned Black Americans and Carribeans than Africans. Most of these slaves were from West Africa. Most West Africans are dark skinned. .

Carribeans are mixing everyday. I see them all the time. they are some carribeans that dont look black anymore some look like indian/black/white combination

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=833742.msg9981020#msg9981020 date=1326758581]good point about the AA reflecting their mixed side.

you see why i sometimes agree with you because you do occasionally make sensible posts. [/quote]

some igbos look like AA. . . .AAs dont look like that just because they are of igbo descent but because they haved mixed with europeans

thats why they are lighter skinned than Africans

she has filed for divorce

Kobe Bryant has three mansions, and two of them have been given to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Vanessa. TMZ is reporting that the basketball player on January 5th 2012, transferred title on two of his mansions over to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Vanessa.

Vanessa got the mansion the couple used to share in Newport Coast and the nearby mansion where her mother has been living. Kobe gets to keep a mansion which is currently under construction, also in Newport Coast.

Vanessa Bryant to get 75 million dollars

I used to wonder y. .they should enjoy all the women they can get during their careers and get married when they want to retire

because just look at the mess Kobe Bryant is going through. .and others like tiger wood etc
