So which one of your parent is white? :cheeseeyes2:

I'll get invited to an AA cookout before your half caste ass

"caste"
Don't red nikkas run yalls lil countries?

 

[FLATOP]

Lightskin africans are all from colonization?

The hell some of yall on

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Can someone show me a lightskinned black from Wakanda?

I'll wait..

 

[Premeditated]

This is the dumbest thing I've read on the Coli so far today. Everyone is dapped this is equally as culpable

he ain't lying though.

Khoisan are the only lightskin black people in Africa but they have a CLEARLY different phenotype than any mix race or biracial people

Cape Verdeans are heavily mix people

I don't consider Ethiopians, Somalis, Eritreans and Sudanese light skin. They're all mostly brown to darkskin. Will Smith is lighter than most of them and it's still hard for some people to call him lightskin. Fulanis and Tutsis are not lightskin either.

being light skin black is different from being biracial.
with this movie, wakanda had never been infiltrated by white's =no mixng= Africans are not naturally light skin,
anyone who has ever taken history beyond middle school should know this.
the only places in Africa where light skin black are in abundance are ones that have been concurred, or along shared bodies of water for trade

Shut ur dumbass up, I'm not referring to the girl getting a role. Infact I said she likely didn't get one.
I'm referring to the moron Stringer bells and comments alike, generalizing light skin blacks.

 

[ultraflexed]

There are lightskin Africans that have zilch to do with colonization.

The San people who are pictured above, are just one example, and they are the most ancient race traced in DNA study

like I said, there is a difference between being light skin and being biracial. And that one tribe does not represent the majority look of the sub-Sarah, your example is like black women trying to justify wearing blue contacts and a blonde wig by posting that picture of that little African boy with blue eyes and blonde hair.

even myself who is not by biracial, I have green eyes, my 2nd cousin is dark skin and bright blue eyes, yet he does not represent the eye color of everyone in our family in-fact he is the only one.
the majority of true Africans were brown to dark skin before colonization.

wakanda had never been colonized

who?

I can see why you took offense to my comment though :cheeseeyes2:

 

[Luke Cage]

my sarcasm did not come through?

It's hard to tell online. Unless it's accompanied by

The Khoi people are light skin.... nothing to do with cacs.

There's african albinos, but them and the people in this pic, while lightskinned, have no other eurocentric facial features unlike that actress.

If she made this decision herself, cool. I have no problem with lighter black people playing African roles because there are lighter Africans. I do have a problem with someone who is NOT black playing the role of a black woman. She's biracial, so I can appreciate her choosing not to out of respect. But she didnt say she didnt take it because she's biracial, she said she didnt take it because shes lightskin and thats a bit dumb since African

STOP

pre-colonization the majority of Africa was brown to darkskin, not a huge spectum at all..

remember wakanda had never been concurred

 

[360Waves]

Man shut the hell up. Most black people in Africa are dark skin. Stop trying to spin that American shyt.

^^^^ An African American who has clearly never been to Africa lol.

If you spent 10 minutes in downtown Lagos, Nigeria you’d realize how stupid you sound. There are no Drakes walking around in Africa but there are plenty of light gold people like Amandla, and they aren’t mixed.

 

[Peak]

The Coli is a weird place. Bunch of Africans with rich immigrant parents who try to claim American black pop culture as their own while shytting on the actual descendants of slaves in America. American blacks and Africans are not the same people. Ironically, this "mixed" chick looks blacker than all of you Afric00ns who have no ancestors who were slaves in America.

What does this even mean

 

[Bobby Lashleys eyebrows]

Facts. And most blacks in Africa aren't biracial either. This isn't America.

I wish these mixed people would sit this movie out.

What a dumbass, no disrespect, I'm done. I can't debate with stupid ppl.
