Coming from you and your history of racism in this forum, I'm not sure what you are trying to do...what is suspicious about your thread is that you don't even indicate who those people are? Be more creative, open more intelligent threads...just try...

Don't know.

But we know what group of people have the thickest baggiest skins don't we. By the way Glider you wouldn't be of the European persuasion would you? LOOOL


You, King, and Tryannosaurus could run a very lucrative skin graph business. I mean sheeeeeiit just one of you has enough skin to cover a second person entirely. You guys could take turns with the graphing. One every week that way you would have 2 weeks for the rhino hide to grow back.

hahahahahaaahahaha


I bet its looks like Wilbur from that cartoon Charlotte's Web. You know that pasty four legged porker who won 1st prize.

hahahahheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I rarely respnd to your post because I see a sick individual lost in hate and suffering from an empty heart which fills up only when you attack Black people. But I will rspond to this because you have posed a question which is at the heart of your perdicament.


You see the darkest people on earth are your mother and father. They must be quite dark given the hate and racism you present on this forum.

The darkness in your heart has eaten away at your sense of justice which has been replaced with the view just us, i.e., people of your nationality that probably know you as a little coward who hides in the background mumbling words that you really don't feel because of your ignorance and cowardliness.

Your goal is to insight anger.But this is not the emotion I feel towards you. I pity you for you are a reflection of your Mom and Pop, and show me that these two people raised a sick child who needs to evoke hate to have any sense of well-being.

I don't see why you posed this question in the first place. It is answered if you just look at your own reflection.

or rather, I don't think darkest, correlates with negative.

I was even gonna post a pick in response, acting as if I was oblivous to his history.

Because their ain't nothin negative about black [Smile]

I'd guess, you'd find the darkest people in Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya, CAR, Somalia, etc. And other places near the equator.

I agree. .. some of us sub-conciously equate black with negative. But I guess it is because of the character we are dealing with.

I don't think that can be singled out.

I've met flat black skinned Indians.
I've met glossy black skinned Maliens.
I've met grey black skinned Wolof.
I've met blue black skinned Sudanis.
I've met maroon black skins from I don't recall where.

The question has no sole answer and I don't
see how it or the picture is supposed to be
an insult unless one who thinks so harbors
negative feelings about black skin in their
psyche.

I do know that because of the numerous
dictionary definitions of black as evil and
negative, the black skinned among the
blacks suffer from a colour prejudice that
surpasses that experienced by the dark,
medium, and light brown skinned blacks
who themselves often apply the same bias
toward the black skinned blacks that non
blacks do.

The well I drink from, its waters are sweet.
I do not taste what soda drinkers make of it.
I cannot see what they do when they look on it.

But on another note, Mr. Horus-on-the-Horizon,
when are you going to respond to the request
made in the Cat Soul thread in the Egyptology
forum, hmmm?

Actually, you can tell who the self-confidant, secure individuals, full of self-worth are, at least as it relates to their own skin colour:

anyone who wasn't offended by his harmless question.

Going by his history, you'd have to be SLOW to not know what t*f* Gizmo was up to,

but weak and insecure for this to have really hurt you - not saying it did.

Look what happened in the opposite situation, if you dont' know what I mean:

An accidental mis-hap.

Is the poster "TRUTH" 'intelligent', or hurt, as she admits.

It's like alTakruri said:

^I see your point i.e. how some people might interpret the picture - though I don't imagine most black people would have such a wiered interpretation, no? [Confused] .

I had absolutely no problems with the people in the pic, those are my fam right there. However, I do have this Osiris/Horus obsession (maybe you've noticed lol [Big Grin] ) and (sort of, but not quite [Wink] ) like Michael Jackson who really thinks and believes he's Peter Pan, I really think and believe that I'm Horus. Call me crazy, but that's what's going on in my head like every day lol [Razz]

Horus, you have the eyes, I know you didn't see & don't see, with blurred vision; -> just so you know, I wasn't referring to you at all.

[Big Grin] Especially given your response to this thread.

lol @ "sort of, but not quite [Wink] "

but I pretty much got that, considering the insightful (and sometimes [b]sight-necessary/required) nature of your posts, as well as the fact that a bajillion of your screen names have involved "Horus" in some form or another.

quote:

Crazy.

[Big Grin]

(Just joshin, I actually believe Horus is a broader aspect of the blacks, in that some blacks have it - that divinity (or divine aspect, characteristically intuitiveness), and others less if at all.)

I'm not one of those people who think anything said by some ancient/s is truth, or true in some form, (duh, many people are natural at creating balogna),

However, I believe that some ancients posessed "great wisdom", in a way.

Oh, and don't think I didn't see your crap, argyle.

Listen you, I've got you on a mental ignore, but at times the sheer stench of your posts is hard to ignore; if I the forum butler, than you're the forum BITCH.

Though, this did happen to catch my eye, you've actually got one thing right:

Only reason I posted in this page, is because, as usual, the guy had about eight replies too many.

The following is a map of skin color distribution.

 -

Nubia, the Sahel and Angola in Africa are the darkest regions. The second two are where African Americans came from.

Of note given the post above me:

Skin color:
Hum Biol. 2000 Oct;72(5):773-80. Related Articles, Links
Human skin color diversity is highest in sub-Saharan African populations.
Relethford JH.
Department of Anthropology, State University of New York College at Oneonta, 13820, USA.

Previous 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.


Also, Red White and Blue, notice the balooned twelve-point range given to Europe; if we were to take the same measure with Africa, all of Africa would be the same color, up to the green at the tippity top North-West African Coast.

I theorize that a more in-depth map of Europe may have been offensive to some individuals.

Look how dark Italians get.

That's a post that shows that African diversity produced the diversity we see in the world: so called Asian features or Caucasian features are found in Africa in more extreme forms compare to Europe or Asia...people outside of Africa inherited their diversity mainly from Africans and then secondary from the environment they lived in....

Someone (self proclaimed medit/mix/Italian) just told me something shocking:

She said that the guy in that video I posted wasn't even dark for a person there, and that the girl was typical for people in the Mediterranean in general.

Now I'm sure she meant "middle east" by Mediterranean and not Africa, and I nkow there are some darker folks in teh Mid-East, but I wouldn't expect that any where in the Medit. but African nations bordering the Mediterranean sea (for folks who define those areas as Meds).

For anyone that's been there; is this true?

It's certainly not what I see in the media.. which I know amounts to nothing if next-to.

EDIT:

She said this Greek girl (who's darker than the Gypsie DJ) is typical:

but maybe she meant of the "Mediterranean" countries.

It's such an imbiguous term.

In ancient times Cypriots were counted among the
coloured people not as one of the palloured folk.

Aeschylus lists the Cypriotes among the darks
quote:
O stranger maids, I may not trust this word,
That ye have share in this our Argive race.
No likeness of our country do ye bear,
But semblance as of Libyan womankind.
Even such a stock by Nilus' banks might grow;
Yea, and the Cyprian stamp, in female forms,
Shows, to the life, what males impressed the same.

And, furthermore, of roving Indian maids
Whose camping-grounds by Aethiopia lie,
And camels burdened even as mules, and bearing
Riders, as horses bear, mine ears have heard;
And tales of flesh-devouring mateless maids
Called Amazons: to these, if bows ye bare,
I most had deemed you like. Speak further yet,
That of your Argive birth the truth I learn.

or in maybe more easier readable language
quote:
CHORUS
[274] Our tale is brief and clear. Argives we claim to be by birth,
offspring of a cow blest in its children. And the truth of this I shall
confirm in full.

KING
[277] Foreign maidens, your tale is beyond my belief — how your
race can be from Argos. For you are more similar to the women
of Libya and in no way similar to those native to our land. The Nile,
too, might foster such a stock, and like yours is the Cyprian impress
stamped upon female images by male craftsmen
. And of such aspect,
I have heard, are nomad women, who ride on camels for steeds, having
padded saddles, and dwell in a land neighboring the Aethiopians. And had
you been armed with the bow, certainly I would have guessed you to be the
unwed, flesh-devouring Amazons. But inform me, and I will better comprehend
how it is that you trace your race and lineage from Argos.

This is from his play The Suppliants (clickable link)
where African women fled to Greece claiming natural
rights to citizenship due to being kin of the original
settlers of Argos.
