Aleese, I get you, but do you claim your black side as much as you claim this other tiny bits of your makeup? Because looking at you I see is a black person, I dont see Indian or Puerto Rican blood at glance, yet Indian & PR are the 1st words out of your mouth. Like I said, I've noticed this with BMs.
What you need to undestand is, the black gene is always the most dominant..it doesn't matter what it is mixed with..it rules. Sometimes I feel like some of you are ashamed of your blackness or something. I could be wrong, but that's how it comes across sometimes. All this talk about this blood & that blood is kind of hilarious when someone is shades darker than some 'unmixed' black people. I'm not trying to offend, just trying to understand the train of thoughts behind the mentality.
Oh, I only posted the Indian/Puerto Rican heritage because of a post about "Red bones are people with Native American in their background." I claim to be an American. I do not specify race. If I fill out an application, I do not put "Black" because it's a color, not a race. I am not offended at all. I babysit children of different races, I am also aspiring to become a foster/adoptive mother and I do not want the kids to see "color." I know that things will change as they get older, but I want to instill family values in them rather color.click to expand

BIG looks very west African to me, which is where most of you all's ancestors came from. It'd be ridiculous if he were to say he is anything else. It's been what, 400-500 years since the 1st African sat foot in America, yet Africa is still clearly visible hundreds of years later..can't hide it.
LOL....That is why I am researching my ancestry. I really would like to know. I remember when I was really young, my grandmother told me that I descended from a tribe in Africa, don't know which one, where they would train the ladies to be concubine-type. They would also "stretch" their necks out to appear more attractive or something. I never got the whole story because she was known to make up stories while drinking.....click to expand

American is not a race either. With billions & billions of people throughout the land with each belonging to a race, why wouldn't you want to belong to one? If black isn't a race, then what would you rather your race be since black & American arent races?

East Africans don't mix well, seeing how our genes is the most diverse, we really do take on the traits of who we mix with, why i don't really care for my people to procreate with others, cause their kids don't look Black at all. All of our beautiful attributes gone.

I didn't say I was yellow-boned. I said my sister was called "high-yellow" when we were younger and everyone liked her. I was considered red-boned because my skin does not get dark brown in the summer, but dark red....

Black Americans have less defined cheek bones, different body structures, and their facial features are completely different than people from Africa. I can almost always notice the difference, and I'm right most of the time.
With that said, white Americans tend to look a lot different than their European counterparts as well, if you take into account facial features.

people from the horn of Africa ARE already a mix of black africans + arab = somali, african + italians or whatever = eretreans, africans + — = Ethiopians. All the offsprings from the combos formed their own group & married within the group which is why most of you look similar 😛 It's the same thing like the Coloured people of my country, they are african + malaysians & san + malaysians. They also made themselves a different race altogether.

LOL, you people are so whitewashed it's sad. BM don't look like no Europeans lol. Explain whoopi, 50c, wesley snipes, big, etc. And you don't know all of africa to say an african looks like this or that. Africa is THE MOST diverse continent in the world, incase you didnt know. LOL @ looking like Europeans. Hahaha
Actually there are differences. You just have to pay attention to detail. Most people can't get past skin colors to notice diffences in facial feature in the like.
With that said, I think West African black women look far better than black American women. I don't care if the black American woman is light or dark skinned, African women have cleaner features and better looking skin.
So I'm not white washed or white obsessed. But anyone who pays attention will notice a difference.click to expand

But there are variations between Africans or even West Africans in terms of looks. Africa is a huge continent, and hardly ethnically or culturally uniform.

you don't get my point they have our GENES...genealogists are coming from the sub saharan model, but the first humans were discovered in East Africa.
anyways all this stuff will be put to rest soon enough.

Funny thing is Watercup, you make it sounds like black Americans want nothing to do with Africans, when they want nothing to do with us. You'll never find a group of more stuck up and conceited people. As a matter of fact, when most Africans come over here, they make sure they create a separation between black Americans, because they apparently think they are above us. For what reason, I don't know.

No true, you dont know how many africans (those who are still here in africa) are proud of you guys. We even buy your music & watch your movies for God's sake. We love you. Problem is, we are very different culturally hence why those who come over there separate themselves. Africans are very conservative by nature & most of you guys arent, so it's a culture clash of sorts. Many, many people here cried watching Roots, meaning we care for our own wherever they are. They may be separating themselves, but if something were to happen..100% they'll have your backs. I've seen this online too, we all cover each other at the end of the day when it comes to the game of US vs THEM.

Temporary derail:
There's a very interesting observation on some cultural differences between blacks and whites here. I find this sense of solidarity incredibly intriguing. We don't really have that on the snowy end of the scale.
Black and white Americans have the same culture, there aren't any differences culturally. They have the same language, the same religion, pretty much the same custom, and the same mannerism. They main difference in culture is a poor culture vs a richer one. Most people amongst the same class level tend to act alike. Poor blacks and poor whites act almost completely the same. I personally think black and white cultural differences are greatly exaggerated.click to expand

We don't love you.
We don't love how you have kids, but can't take care of them.
We don't love that you murder yourselves endlessly and that we have to be scared of our kids getting involved with one of your gangs and gunned down.
We don't want our daughters to be around you because she might end up pregnant without a baby father, one who might go in and out of jail...
I hate how you make millions of dollars just to never wife up a black women, but you go wife up a white women, shows you're mentally oppressed.
We don't understand why you have Zero values, zero respect, zero morals for yourself and your people.
We think you are a weak connection to live in such an opportunity filled society and not being able to make something of yourself, although we understand the systematic racism.
We don't understand why you're always hanging around corners. Dont' you have a Job.
The worst we hate how you influence young African kids to follow your Ghetto culture and Ghetto mentality.

No, black Americas talk more group or family rhetoric. Black families are no more closer or unified than white families. If you want to see group or family unity, look at asians, Indians, latinos, Africans, etc. American families are small and less unified. Clearly an American thing, that's noticeable across different races, or even class levels.

That's a LIE.
I've never heard any African here talking bad about black americans, jamaicans, etc. Those who say bad things are those who have been to America & have seen how BMs act.
Even I held you guys in high esteem until I started interacting with some of you & that lowered a bit. I cant speak for all africans or africa, but south africans are loving to all black people. Our country is home to all of africa, including some black americans. We only hit & dislike somalis bcoz they're full of shit 😛
I'm talking about here in the US, i don't know about Africans in Africa, never really broached the topic.

This goes back to the discussion is racism genetic. I think white people are extremely independent and that sometimes colors their decision making, which probably comes from fighting to survive in the caves of Europe.
