I also not an expert,but as far as Africa goes and all my studying I believe the base color might have been a solid brown.And after migrations and other events change occured
To Adriana
I sorry if I came off that way.I would never say anyone should deny their heritage,that was not my intent.Also I do know the majority of the black population here are not pure bloods.I also have no problem with a person saying or being mixed.Did you know alot of the involuntary captives came here mixed already;and that the mixing never stop?
and sorry for my typos xD it’s late. and yes there has** been proof…
the black people are*** ‘
Sorry!
Sorry I meant to say; ‘just black to you’. Which is a comment I’ve read often on this site.
I don’t get it.
Why when a white person has black ancestry ( and you couldn’t tell the person has black blood) the person is considered white or mutliracial.
But if someone ‘looks black’ the rest of their background is denied?
And yes I have a problem with this. Why deny the rest?
He does have the facial features of a black man. But a true black person is for example someone from Africa. And yes there have been proof of africans not always looking dark dark ( due to mutations etc in the genes, if I didn’t say it correctly someone please correct me, because I know about anthropology but not the details I’m not an expert). But still the black people in the United States of America is are of a mixed race ( mostly!). The natives of america are indians, native americans! And the people from Africa were brought to the united states to work as slaves. And they mixed with europeans and antive americans. Thus black people in America are mostly of mixed race and not pure africans ( or pure black people). So I don’t get why people have a problem with people saying black people are mixed ( even if it isn’t half hlaf or 1/8). Most lighter skinned black people or not for that matter, are mixed! Even if they ‘look black to you’.
Hey Fuzzybear, I knew when i started doing this site there would always be haters. And a lot of cool people like you and others regularly commenting on here.
To ethnic
yeah,I agree it probably could help.However that doesn’t always work either.Alot of children in the black community are different colors from their parents
