Why do people get so offended and sent into a frenzy when you say you can tell the difference between ADOS/FBA and Africans based off of looks?

[Shadow King]

Because it's divisive.

You can tell guy in OP is African. Slavery mixed us up racially. We have black, white and Native American DNA. Thats a fact. But still some were mixed in Africa also - which makes it harder to tell sometimes. But thinking about it, it’s probably the Native American DNA that makes us look different from them.



This too

Native American DNA isn't as prominent in us as we were taught to believe.

lol because it is a dumb ass takes.....just like an African raised her for two generations that don't know shyt about Africa, dresses like your average american or african-american saying he don't look like one but do you breh a lot of you Tyreek nasheed dikk sucaks some wierdos

Dressing the same doesn't mean you look the same.

You can check my post history about Tariq. Stop being a weirdo

I'm asking do all Asian look alike. I'm asking if all Latinos look alike. I'm asking do Ethiopians and Morrocans look alike because they are both African.

Ethiopians and Morrocans are two different groups of Africans though. Do Ethiopians and Eritreans/Somalis look alike or do Japanese and Chinese look alike, the answer is probably yes and no, you'll get some that do and some that don't.

Another example, both of these Michigan players are Haitian...From their day to day you will not be able to tell what their culture is because they are Americanized. If both of them moved to the U.S at 32, it will be obvious they are Haitian. You will find plenty of brehs that look like this in the south.

Now this clown is bringing up Haitians who share a very similar history to African-Americans.

Clarik Jones is African-American. what's wrong with you?

lol did I say he wasn't? He is African-American playing for the Sudanese team where it's obvious he is not South Sudanese who have unique look but there are certain south african tribes, he can easilly pass for. That's the point I am trying to make..

Haitians many a time are 90+% African genetically.

 

[JackRoss]

I think the point is Africa so diverse you can't stereotype its children.

I agree and understand. So, it's OK to say Black Americans don't look like Africans, right?

So it's OK to say Black Americans don't look like Africans. I'm not sure why people think that's a crazy statement.

Remove the steph currys, grant hills or AA's on the lighter end of the spectrum, what you can tell is cultural mannerism. A third generation Nigerian/Ghanian , you will not be able to tell where his roots are.

Let's remove the history of slavery as well while we're at it. Da fukk is wrong with you?

lol point is flying over your head man. Culturally Haitian are more culturally African than the rest of descendants of slaves in the Americas. A Haitian that moves to U.S at 42 will not pass for African-American. I can guarantee you that but these two Haitians can because they grew up in America.

 

[PatCake]

I'm African and I can tell too.

Alight I misread your post. but like I said earlier there are certain African ethnicities that can pass for being African American.

 

[Sir ZDuke]

When I went to NO, 40-50% of the black folk I saw looked like they could be fresh off the boat. They weren’t. This eye test gets negated when you go to the south

Some do some don't, the statement is too broad because not all Africans look the same even within the same ethnic group. I think if the comparison is Africans who have grown up all their life in Africa, in comparisons to ones that have grown up in western world countries it gets harder to tell.. Did you know Idris Elba was African straight off the bat when you first watched the wire?
