Her point is driven by the fact she don’t want to be seen as black lol.

People are saying light skin isn't found in Africa. He is light skin and also has a looser hair texture. He didn't get it from Italian grandparents either.
You cant argue that light skins aren't found in Africa, its a concrete fact that there are light skins, and indigenous ones.

but there are no biracials in the fictional land called Wakanda. Thats a fact.

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.

You came in this thread pushing the narrative that lightskin Africans are common in Sub-Saharan Africa.

For evidence, you posted a picture of the San tribe that's been floating around the internet for decades.

I can go quote you hotep :beli:

You're full of shyt.

Read the quote below.

Most SSAs, as in the overwhelming majority, are dark skin.

Any African who tells you people who look like Amandla Steinberg are common in Africa is lying. With the exception of Cape Verde there are not many Amandla Steinberg looking types in Africa. I am Igbo and Nigerian. Trust me i know what i am talking about.

Nobody said they look like Amandla. They said light skin people are in Africa. Which is true.

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

If we are talking about sub Saharan ancestry as the "black" then yes I have more of that than some of my darker skin relatives. I'm taking about people who are majority of sub Saharan ancestry.

I'm comparing myself to black people not biracial

You can find blonde haired blue eyed Nordic types in Spain too.

But it's disingenuous to act like that's the common look there.

Same thing.
