Yet another ignorant nikka whose replying to me, not even understanding what the topic of my post was about.

This is what I replied to:

The San live NOWHERE near Wakanda you dufus

You cherrypicking tribes off the internet like a dusty hotep

Wakanda has been written at times to be next to Nigeria and at times to be next to Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya

All of those places are heavily filled with dark complected people

Plus Wakanda is a highly isolationist nation that was never colonized, never bred with Europeans

In short, shut the fukk up man :snoop:

You nikkas really believe there were nikkas Steph Curry complexion on the slave ships :snoop:

You're lack of reading skills and comprehension are incredible.

You are a fukking idiot. The person I replied to falsely claimed that all lightskin African's are a result of colonization. That's what I've been arguing against this whole thread. Idk why tf your dumbass is bringing up Wakanda when I am discussing real life Africa you imbecile :dead:

I don't believe thats true. From my experience people have thought I was white when I straightened my hair. I'm blacker or just as black than a lot my Darker skin DNA relatives on 23and me.



I think I'm a rare case though. My Prometheus's account said I had a genes for pale skin and red hair.
You're not really saying anything definitive.

What do you classify as black ?
or whats your tribe, nationality of you and your relatives ?

You can be "just as black" as a Morrocan if you classify them as black, but really they aren't to begin with..

Also those sites use a precept that includes large groups that wouldn't ordinarily be classified as black if you saw them in person. Its so diluted that its almost miscellaneous ..(one drop rule)

this dude would be classified as black

Amandla Stenberg
revealed she turned down Black Panther because she was aware of how her lighter complexion may have been perceived.


In a conversation at the TIFF Next Wave Festival, the 19-year-old explained why she walked away from the Ryan Coogler directed box office hit

“One of the most challenging things for me to do was to walk away from Black Panther. I got really, really close and they were like, ‘do you want to continue fighting for this?’ And I was like, this isn’t right.”

“These are all dark skin actors playing Africans and I feel like it would have just been off to see m as a bi-racial American with a Nigerian accent just pretending that I’m the same colour as everyone else in the movie.”

“That was really challenging, to make that decision, but I have no regrets. I recognize 100 per cent that there are spaces that I should not take up and when I do take up a space it’s because I’ve thought really, really critically about it and I’ve consulted people I really trust and it feels right.”

:jbhmm:
Where's the link to the actual story?

For one, the thread is about Wakanda, you dumbass :beli:

For two, your dumbass is in here trying to act like there's tons of lightskin people walking around Africa.

You even posted the same pictures of the San tribe that's been posted since 2007. I'm tired of seeing that same goddamn family :beli:

If you really think our ancestors in the 1600s were getting on them boats looking like Steph Curry and Paula Patton, you're a fukking moron.

You're arguing a Non-existent point that I never made, claimed, or stated. Just hold your fukking L and keep it pushing. Don't hop in a convo that has nothing to do with you, when you don't know wtf is actually going on.

people like her and others agreeing with her are honestly sick in the head with all this colour/acceptance nonsense.
