ChinenyeN:
To make scoring easier, I bet.

ChinenyeN:
So now the definition of mixed has switched to African-African? I thought the premise had always been African/Foreigner? Why the switch?

pleep:
nooooooo,  remember what you said? that all light skinned Africans are caused by mixture with other races? that would mean a huge number of Africans are mixed.
i'll admitt a few are, but very few in West Africa & central Africa, and they haven't changed the way the populations look.

But tribe wise, even i am mixed. Ibibio, efik & annang and perhaps igbo(more or less the same blood anyway). Both my parents are Annang, so i don't bring up 5% mixture from 600 yrs ago and call myself mixed.  

MsDarkSkin:
errm. . .


HEY CHIMA!!  

MsDarkSkin:
short time? so you've been watching the time?

anyway, i watched one and two. you're still here. pretty sad.

MsDarkSkin:
?? errrrrrrrrm. key word WITH and second. . . i WATCHED PARTS ONE AND TWO OF A MOVIE AND YOU WERE. . .ARE. . .STILL HERE!           

I SAID 'VAMOOS', 'CIAO', 'BYE', 'WAKA PASS' EVEN ASKED WHAT YOU WANTED AND YOU STILL REQUESTED A CONTINUATION of a stale conversation!

seriously, fly off!

MsDarkSkin:
number one how in the fug[b] [/b] can one stalk a goddamn forum?
miss 'supposedly black american' with the answers inform me of this.

the last time i checked you claim to be AA and interested in Nigerian culture.
well unlike you i am not only ON here but showing my interest. You on the other hand
seek ppl out to argue while doing a horrible job masking your lies about being AA.
Do you live in the UK?? hmmmm. i wonder oo   Anyway I didn't look for OR speak to you,
YOU entered the conversation.  

and lastly i pay my internet bills, if i want to post a video of me taking a shiet  
i have the right to do so as well as type my opinions esp. when it wasn't directed to anyone in particular.

MsDarkSkin:
yup. because i got your opinion (tho i wasn't interested in it in the first place).
it didn't change mine and rather than run in circles i called it a day.
seems you still want to chat. abeg waka pass jor.  

MsDarkSkin:
come saiyaman let's sing oo! 
[size=28pt]"KUMBAYAH MY LORD!  KUMBAYAAAAAH!!!"[/size]. . .yeah yeah blah. . . 

LOL @ 'being proud of mixed heritage is a sign of self hatred'. 
I guess the whole of the Caribbean/latin America are some self hating baztads!   
now that is hilarious! stand up comedian pleep! you are almost funnier than Mike Epps! i might not be all african but i damn sure am proud of who i am and my heritage. just as you can take courses to study our history please believe we can do the same. now run off! oh before you go. . .CATCH! 

*flings a box of tampons towards pleep*

and btw you would look AWESOME with dreads. . .oh wait no! you'd probably get mistaken for a Jamo, and "lawd knowses you dont's wanna be confooosed with us self haytun nigguhz"

MsDarkSkin:
right. and looking up slang to back up info is correct i guess.  

ON A FORUM this is how you quote:

this isn't an essay. your posting links is another way to back up claims.
common sense.

disappear from ??
what you want a kumbayah?     i should stick around here for?  
please! i DO have a movie to watch! Since you want to chit chat so damn bad,
you ever watch Guilty Pleasures, the nollywood movie? watch it if you don't have anything else to do
maybe then we can discuss something afterwards  

MsDarkSkin:
good for you but in case you didn't know i quoted someone who quoted from another source.
thank you though. like i said finding quotes about old patois is nice and educative however it doesn't change my opinion  . glad you accept i have the right to it. alright then. ciao.

MsDarkSkin:
[size=18pt]*yawns*[/size]

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.   albinoism and lightskin are two COMPLETELY different things. futhermore alicia keys is biracial and older than me but because she is older, does that make her more "black than i"?  

as for you saiyaman. i've already posted my link and stated that i know my belief may be flawed. i never insulted you nor said what i said was TRUTH, did i? so keep trying to find some sort of reason to continue your foolishness and trying to make some sort of alliance with pleep. this is not an argument but rather a chance to share views.

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.

update: LMAO   informative sources. i still believe in what i've stated before.

pleep:
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.

MsDarkSkin:
focus nothing. let's not play dumb i was being sarcastic hence my explanation of mentioning tainos thereafter. 
and I quote:

until igbos are DNA tested and/or i can see it documented or video'd on youtube  i'll stick to my hypothesis. 
as for the Europeans claiming Igbos had 'yellowish complexion' thing, paste your source please.

ok.

MsDarkSkin:
ONE HAS TO BE MUSLIM TO BE OF ARAB DESCENT?! Ok oo. I must read up on TAINO indian customs and change my life style FAST!!! Since one must be of a certain religion to be a descendant of a group. PULEEEZ!!

If you read what most Igbos say on here and off the forum you would understand how i came to my conclusions. Apparently they came from the east and according to this thread. . .

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-499496.0.html

this would GUARANTEE that they had contact with what we know as Arabs or Ha-mites.
My support or disbelief in evolution is MY opinion nothing BOGUS about it. 

michelin89:
Give me the links on this section where he made racist comments.

MsDarkSkin:
actually it is due to mixture. all of the ppls you listed have a history of mingling with and intermixing with arab ppls or their descendants such as the fulani and the woodabi ppl. depending on whom you ask arabs themselves are mixed (a form of black) so therefore to some ppl it is not interracial but rather ethnic mixing  .

either way the bloodline is not 100 percent pure however they (light skinned folks) are not any less african than you or i as the [color=indigo]skin color is only chosen randomly from the gene pool as you stated[/color]. however i don't believe in evolution or 'adaptation' but rather in mixing.

Much of the mixing occurred prior to the act of recording or taking notes which is waaaaay down the line hence the acceptance of the different shades even prior to slavery which only became an issue once whites and arab traders capitalized on it to divide groups and make profit. African and Arab interaction is as old as time. This is noted even with the issue of slavery as Arabs took in African women for wives and the men for soldiers or servants and vice versa. Also many trans-Atlantic slaves were dedicated muslims and also ranged in different hues depending on where they came from - again places where there was more arab interaction/influence.

MsDarkSkin:
[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. Igbos are no exception
but from my understanding MAJORITY of the Igbos are dark skinned.
