since some folks want to make it a personal thing, i think i'll continue this when the person i was talking to from the beginning returns. i will check out your links but other than that i heard you and am moving on.

Yes, very personal my mother is light skinned (Annang) and you have offended me.

MsDarkSkin:
it's just like pleep to come right on cue and express his over dramatic outrage.
abeg, try out for nollywood. you MUST come out on top.  

Haha, well it seems i am developing a reputation. Well, i want everyone to know that any self respecting Nigerian should take the insinuation that their people are mixed to a large degree as offensive. Even more so the suggestion that they were violated in their own country.

Its just not true, and there is no proof.

people will always point to someone like Alek Wek or a south Sudanese person and say "this is the one and only pure african"  No the hell not, many light skinned people are even more pure than them.

The Nilotic people live the harshest conditions in Africa. There few trees in that region so they are exposed to direct sunlight everyday, the temperature is almost always above 100 degrees and there is barely any water. That is why they look the way they do.

People in other parts of Africa have adapted to their own particular climate. S.E Nigeria is heavily forested so there is enough shade for lighter skinned people to live normally.
Southern Africa is colder than other regions, thus the Khoisan have lighter skin. They also have narrow eyes like the Asians because they live near the Kalahari desert region. Ethiopia is mountainous, so it is more temperate than other parts of the continent so the people are thinner noses, straighter hair, etc.

[color=indigo]light skinned africans are the result of mixing[/color]. 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.

you'll find light skinned africans in areas that historically speaking was involved in the slave trade or had
dealings with arabs hence difference in hair texture, religion and language.

How dare you, this is 100% trash.  What is so hard for people to accept about Africans being light skinned without being mixed with other fuckin races? You do not understand the slave trade, the people who the slavers violated were SLAVES not free people. So the Igbo who ended up becoming mixed all went to the Americas not back to Nigeria.

Look at the picture below. . this is a khoisan man, 100% pure African. How is it that almost all of them got to be light skinned, when they are some of the oldest people of Africa? just because you are mixed doesn't mean we all are. This is getting rediculous.

its for personal fulfilment. at this age you would be doing her a disservice by preventing her.

the female answers here surprise me.

SmoothCrim:
You call that Mixed? hahhahahahahaha. Negroes will always be slaves. Ms. Mexico was part Black then so  was Ms. Brazil, USA, and others.

Don't tell them about it though. When I go to Northern Nigeria I see women who look like that every day. Are they mixed? hahaha. Some of you are jokers.

Amen. people are always rushing to say mixed this, mixed that whenever they see a black person. its rediculous and annoying.

by that logic every single South European & Arab is mixed. Really people there is a double standard for mixed blood when it comes to black people.

Whenever ppl see an attractive black person they rush to say they are mixed.
