I did think this was what you were on to. My point is brown skin is not inclusive at all, as a descriptor for people of African descent, particularly of sub saharan Africa.
Brown skin, in modern context, describes people of Asian descent such as Indians. Neither of these colour appellation claims to categorize every member of the racial group they describe. [s]Black is a spectrum of colours, and not only "charcoal black" [/s]as you wrongly assume, which is perhaps the cause of your confusion.

Your other point about dark skin. Dark skin, black skin, po-tay-to, po-tah-to. What's in a name, my friend? Through history we have censored many racial slurs which were considered offensive, but [s]being described as a black person is something I proudly identify as[/s]. If you describe yourself as lighter skinned, that is simply an adjective that describes your colour relative to a darker member of the group. But this is one group nonetheless.

[s]We need to decolonise our minds. Be proud of whatever hue of black you are. [/s]
Racism is not how you describe yourself, but how other people of a different culture may perceive you, often fueled by perhaps their existing bias and prejudice. But to bend over backwards and deny other members of my racial group in the hope that I'll be accepted by a non black population is something you and me should never have to do. It reeks of inferiority.

passion007:
What do you suggest OP?

Brown skin? Yellow skin?

Before you answer, think of the darker members of the race and come up with a colour that includes all, and doesn't create room for further discrimination of other members who have a heavier pigmentation than others.

Now, I challenge you to come up with a colour that's acceptable to you and most Africans/ people of African descent.

Still English story... What they wants you to believe.. You mean during the bible time, Nigeria no exists?

helinues:
That's what they made you to believe. Na Dudu my ancestors dey call colour black.

helinues:

dawnomike:

PapaBaby:
Stop looking at Black in a negative way.

Chizmickey:
This white people are pure racist, they just pretend because of the laws against racism, but deep in there heart, they are against the black man.

But am a black man, I am proud of my colour

So It just so happens that out of all the mere animals in the world, humans are the only ones capable of highly coordinated resoning and application..
don’t get me wrong I know what bio101 & zoo201 said....but look around u, tagging what humans are capable as ordinary, mere higher capabilities compared to bacteria, reptiles or fishes is a huge slap to human cognitive abilities....

Come on...we deciphered that there are electromagnetic waves in the air and boom! I can talk to u from far away China or Australia....humans aren’t just mere animals...that’s why much discipline is expected of us..and that’s what many religion or faith based system is all about
..even our constitution doesn’t expect us to act impulsively killing, raping, stealing....like it happens in the jungle.....but when faith-based system or religion suggest these same discipline, u atheist start to tag it as trash .....

U aren’t even capable of civilized dialogue without insults...we are not in an insulting contest or are we??

Higher homosapiens before humans?? What does this ur statement even mean?? ..so humans aren’t homosapiens?? What’s ur point exactly?? has this point of the existence of higher homosapiens billions of years ago changed the fact that only homosapiens out of all other animals are capable of higher cognitive functions??
U called man mere animals with higher functioning, I said humans are much more than that....and all u came up with is an insult and a statement to still say that higher humans have been existing before....did i suggest otherwise?


As in I’m not getting you....nairaland is just full of different kinds of people.....peace man

This is how satan will allow education to destroy your life. Civilization,era,epoch doesn't change the word of God. The enemy of all good things has made entertainment(movies and satanic songs) to blind fold this generation. God have mercy.

udemzyudex:
I think the FG should ban this People from building all this small small power station, what's the meaning of 49MW huh?

Why can't they build 200,500 or even 1000MW power station.
When they keep building small power station,how many years do they think it will get us to reach 10,000-15,000MW in Nigeria?

We can't even boast of 9000MW in this country.
If this is how they want to be doing please don't even bother,soon they will talking about transmission issue.

LordGuru1:
OP thanks so much. Jesus said "he that hath an ear let him hear" because he knows that many do not have real ear to repentance. You are indeed a great blessing to humanity. May God increase your anointing in Jesus name.
