Has anyone here met one? If so, do they consider themselves black like Africans? Or different?

To get an idea of what it's like, if you watch Mystery Road on Netflix, those people have it bad man....it's like some NA reservations filled with poverty, prostitution, crime, and drugs. Whites call them black, even though some are light skinned.

You never been on their tumblr...?


On Being a Blackfella

They consider themselves Black but they are not Africans...the Black people from the Southern part of the world...talking about Melanesians, Polynesians and New Papua Guinea people and shyt are like 50K years removed from Africa...they evolved in that part of the world...they aren't Black like us...



Black does not = African...

A lot of them look like Cacs with tans... due to forced admixing and yes they consider themselves Black...

Australian Aboriginals and other Blacks of the Eastern World like papauns and Negritos are very distantly related to Africans. In fact, Europeans are more related to Africans than the Eastern Blacks.

I feel that there are some pretty significant differences visually, but it's hard to notice that when all you know are African Americans, which tend to look more like Eastern Blacks because of their Admixture with Europeans.

If you compare a Western or Central African to Eastern Blacks, the difference is actually quite striking.
