revontuli:. First off I am not a dude, I'm a woman. Next time make yourself clear you just changed the game. Had you posted this information before there wouldn't be this misunderstanding? Carribeans are not African Americans they have different bloodlines than we do. Problem solved. I'm offended because it's not true. 1 Like |

khiaa: Some of them immigrated to the States and their descendants became African Americans. Some people like Oprah got Chinese admixture from distant ancestors (possibly early Chinese immigrants marrying AA. Quite a few AA youtubers disclosed their 23andme results showing Chinese and Native American ancestry.) Dude is a gender-neutral thing in modern slang. Everyone is dude lol. 1 Like |

revontuli: They aren't African American, they consider themselves as Carribean Americans. Yeah, calling a woman DUDE is just as dumb as calling her BRUH and that is considered gender-neutral in modern slang but it's still dumb. 1 Like |

khiaa: 1. It's part of someone's DNA whether you're comfortable with the fact or not. Did you know that a genealogy test, when you go for one, it'll go as far back as the 9th generation? Deal with it. 2. LMAO. No, they're not dark, the reason we can pick out a foreigner quite easily. Last time I checked, AIDS was an issue in your ghettos too 3. I don't care. 4. Yes, you do bleach. The broke ones who can't afford things like chemical peel etc, spend a lifetime self-loathing & wishing they were much lighter, so they can brag about being biracial 1 Like |

BrideOfDracula: Everything you wrote is the issues that you self-hating dark skin South Africans do to look like your COLORED South Africans. No country in the world has the Aids/HIV epidemic like yours does. What is your obsession with African American DNA, why don't you check your own maybe you'll discover that you have ONE DROP of Caucasoid blood running through your veins. With the joy and excitement of the good news, you can tell everyone that you're not black you're COLORED. With the issues going on in your country why are you on a NIGERIAN website debating with an AMERICAN about our DNA instead of working on getting those interlopers out of SOUTH AFRICA? 3 Likes |

khiaa: LMAO. Did you know that in most cases you can't tell the difference between some Coloureds & some black South Africans (particularly blacks from the Cape), because they actually share the same ancestor? It shows how little you know about South Africa. Look up the DNA of South Africans & educate yourself. I know how you lot are averse to education, but try a little harder on this one AIDS is there in your ghettos too, so I don't know why you're here feeling brand new as if AIDS is something that only happens in South Africa, when you have people sucking D for a rock of crack in your midst. Spread it will. Not wishing that on you though, but remember that in South Africa it also started with just a few people before we reached this point. Taking a jab at me about AIDS is a joke, when AIDS is a worldwide epidemic that any sexually active person could get should they make the wrong move with the wrong person. While you're taking low blows about AIDS, I hope you're protected I don't need to check my DNA to know that, I'm Coloured on my mother's side, but I still identify as a Xhosa because that's the culture I relate to the most, considering that I was raised in it. No South African would wanna be mistaken for a Coloured. Are you kidding me? They have a bad reputation & are not looked at with admiration here in South Africa. You really know NOTHING about South Africans. You're just projecting your African American worship for anything biracial on South Africans That's not our style, sorry. Why are YOU here? Don't you have crackheads to rescue or armed police to run away from? 1st serve your community before coming up with ideas about what should be done with mine. You can't "AXE" me what I'm doing in another country's forum when you're a guest here yourself The nerve! I'm here because I want to & don't need anyone's permission to be here either. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Lol @ someone claiming AA bleach. We are not known for bleaching, it's extremely rare and highly looked down upon. You will be extremely ridiculed if it's found out that you bleached. The only time I've ever heard of an AA bleaching is if it was for reasons related to vitiligo as is the case with Michael Jackson. Some with this condition have bleached their skin in order to make it one even tone. AA as a whole are naturally lighter toned on average due to the fact of that we have about 30% mixture with lighter toned races, primarily European and Native. Additionally, our African roots are substantially derived from Igbo and other African ethnic groups in which are known for having a rather large light complected demographic. 4 Likes |

khiaa: Kettle calling pot black. If you're unfazed by my so called tantrum, then what's this lame attempt at trying to be personal? I have nothing to prove to you, so believe whatever you wanna believe. Because what I've realised is, people who make assumptions about other people, they're usually projecting their own issues on others. Get well soon 4 Likes |
