and you are a cac
I've ALWAYS prided myself as a Black African.
you on the other hand are a confused mutt who wants to see the face of mother Africa changed.

And yet you speak about Africa like a monolithic country like cacs would
Go fukk yourself bro.
Its not up for debate.Mama Africa is predominantly dark in complexion and she will stay that way FOREVER.
It's a tool of hate, I'll agree.
But Dominicans don't hate Haitians because of their race. Chechs don't have Slovs because they're white. Sunnis don't hate Shias because they're brown. Etc...
Breh, I hear you, but the tone of this thread started and will probably end strictly with self-hate. This plays a part, but there
were tensions between the countries that supersede skin tone. Our constantly thoughts about race doesn't mean that is
how they think about it, it is only a part of a history of aggression.
They can admit to the African ancestry. Fine. But if they went to Africa, they would immediately find themselves the odd
man out. Sharing ancestry only goes so far. They are an entirely different culture and happen to share bloodlines. The only
reason we as black americans think this way is because of how we are treated in America. They have a different problem
that isn't simply defined as "hating themselves."
It is. We analyze it, even though they live in it too. I misspoke and grossly downplayed it in that message,
but our country internalized racism and colorism differently from everyone else. Mind you, America
is a young nation that was built on racism, so how we see there issues will be wildly more simplistic than
they will see it.
We can't pretend to know more about what they are going through than they do.
I never got into the specific types of skin tone because it's foolish.
put it this way. the vast majority of African Americans look no different than your typical African in Africa.
maybe this will help you understand my point a little further:Mother Africa is a majority Michael Vick nd Serena Williams looking continent in terms of skin tone
is that less vague?
"dark in complexion" doesn't mean "the typical African looks like the guy who played the leading role in blood diamonds"

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2945812/Indigenous Africans are characterized by high levels of genetic diversity within and between populations. The pattern of genetic variation in these populations has been shaped by demographic events occurring over the last 200,000 years.
The dramatic variation in climate, diet, and exposure to infectious disease across the continent has also resulted in novel genetic and phenotypic adaptations in extant Africans.
This review summarizes some recent advances in our understanding of the demographic history and selective pressures that have influenced levels and patterns of diversity in African populations.
Africa not only has the highest levels of human genetic variation in the world but also contains a considerable amount of linguistic, environmental and cultural diversity. For example, more than 2,000 distinct ethno-linguistic groups, representing nearly a third of the world’s languages, currently exist in Africa
The timing and duration of some of these demographic events were often correlated with known major environmental changes and/or cultural developments in Africa [6].
A number of novel genetic and phenotypic adaptations have also evolved in Africans in response to dramatic variation in environment, diet, and exposure to infectious disease across the continent.
In some cases, these adaptations have occurred in the last several thousand years, exemplifying the ongoing evolution of human populations.
Thus, present-day patterns of variation in African genomes are a product of both demographic and selective events.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11126724Previous studies of genetic and craniometric traits have found higher levels of within-population diversity in sub-Saharan Africa compared to other geographic regions. This study examines regional differences in within-population diversity of human skin color. Published data on skin reflectance were collected for 98 male samples from eight geographic regions: sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Europe, West Asia, Southwest Asia, South Asia, Australasia, and the New World. Regional differences in local within-population diversity were examined using two measures of variability: the sample variance and the sample coefficient of variation. For both measures, the average level of within-population diversity is higher in sub-Saharan Africa than in other geographic regions. This difference persists even after adjusting for a correlation between within-population diversity and distance from the equator. Though affected by natural selection, skin color variation shows the same pattern of higher African diversity as found with other traits.
