[QUOTE]Originally posted by -Just Call Me Jari-: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AGÜEYBANÁ(Mind718): [qb] @ Jari What you seem to be doing is equating black soley with Negroid, hence you see a discrepency involved.[/qb][/QUOTE]I will admit that my O.P does seem that way but let me explain my self better. I don't think black equals negro, I consider black to be any Dark skinned native of Africa. However what I am saying is that the word black has always been equated with Negro. When we use "Black" Most people think Negro. Now I realize that its fallacious with all the evidence proving African diversity but many people will still equate Negro with black. I will use an example, the word "Gay" originally meant Happy but now no serious person would say they are "Gay"(Happy) without conjuring up the image of Homosexuality. The same can be kinda said about "Black" it seems we are fighting a circular battle. [QUOTE]Originally posted by AGÜEYBANÁ(Mind718): [qb] @ JariWhat to understand here is that the lumping of all indigenous Africans under one label of Negroid is the fallacious part, while the features do exist, but are simply one of the variations within indigenous Africans.[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree 100% [QUOTE]Originally posted by AGÜEYBANÁ(Mind718): [qb] Not really, as you note the wests idea of black is only "Negroid", when in reality there are blacks in Africa who do not fit the Negroid profile, you know this, so black does not simply = Negroid. [/qb][/QUOTE]This is what I mean, so if black=negriod in the Western sense and in the minds of majority of Western peoples are we not fighting a never ending battle using "Black" and at the same time claiming black are diverse. Im just asking, I mean like I said I agree 100% that Africans are diverse and that black does not mean Negriod but many people don't see it that way. On a side note I have was asked by a professor if I thought the Egyptians were "black" and I said "Yes" to which he replied that I owed him "Slavery Reparations" because "my people" held his people(The Jews) as slaves. If any lay person asked me if I believe the A. Egyptians were Black I would say yes. [/QB][/QUOTE]
