African Americans who can pass as West Africans.

You guys can't seem to keep Nigeria out your mouths especially cashmere, just because your country is irrelevant
doesn't mean you need to bring us up every thread

I believe that's the other way around....

I've seen people that looked similar to them growing up on the South Side of Chicago

prob people with Mississippian roots. This Afram girl is Mississippian rooted

she's looks less "new worlder" than her parents

..which could be coming from her grand mother

guy on the left is her cousin who happens to looks similar to Serge Ibaka

Looks like she took after her father. I was born in Mississippi, mom/dad relatives still there but I look nothing like that girl. Not all Mississippians look less "western". What's up this Afram term you and another poster keep using, it seems low key derogatory you might as well say akata.

I never said they didbut Mississippian's are darker than let's say people with roots in Virginia which is a combination of african tribal descent and level/types of admx

western = new world black

you might as well say akata.

I think Americans have a different look someone like Lebron, Denzel Washington, and etc don't look like West Africans.

Yes, They look of west african origin but with a twist, if that makes any sense. Many African Americans are a mixture of many different West/ Central African countries and then add that white element and it makes many look different.
There are africans who look like Aframs too but I still think there is a difference.

This is a dumb post, and the thread seemed to follow suit.

There are AA's that can pass for African and vice versa, but the vast majority of the time I can tell if some one is AA or not.

There's a noticeable difference between your average African American and your average African IMO.

I cant even pass as a West African (to Americans) and I was born in Lagos, Nigeria

Americans always tell me, "But you dont look African "
Mostly because of my nose



But yeah I know what OP is saying. I can spot a West African miles away.

What Africans I look like I've descended from?
