Brazil, home of sun, sea and catwalks! However as this challenging report shows beneath the glitz and glamour of Brazil's most famous export lies a darker world of racism and segregation.
Brazil has the second largest black population on Earth but an obsession with lighter-skinned models is putting darker Brazilians off modelling. Caroline and her friend Aline are aspiring models, eager for a life of glamour. But Aline is one of the only 10 people out of 200 at a modelling convention who would call themselves black. "There are more openings for white models", one model explains. "Brazil is hiding what it thinks is not beautiful enough." District Attorney Deborah Affonso says the problem is economics. Brands don't want people representing them who are "seen as having no spending power". However, a recent 8% increase in the catwalk quota agreement for black models is a step in the right direction to finding a "Brazilian beauty with a real Brazilian face."

^^anybody can go to the link and see that Ish Gebor is lying when he says it does not actually say the above
Ish Gebor, when somebody produces a quote and a source for the quote you are lying when you say "Actually the source says something else."
You can't say it says something else because it does say what I said it says, it's a quote you silly fool
You should be saying "but it ALSO says..."
But instead you choose to keep LYING
The part you don't like to see:
quote:Activists of the Movimento Negro (black Brazilian civil rights organizations) have long argued that the terms preto and pardo should be combined and recognized as Brazil’s Afro-Brazilian population. This argument is based upon numerous socioeconomic studies and quality of life statistics that show that the profiles of pretos and pardos are nearly identical while these same stats show that Brazil’s white (branco) population is much better off than those identified as preto or pardo.
[…]
There are also people, who recognize that their skin color, features and racial background would classify them as pardos but that identify themselves as black or negra/negro.
quote:According to data, Brazil’s black population has surpassed 100 million; as a whole Brazil has passed the 200 million mark
Black population has already passed 100 million, guarantees the IBGE
From the newsroom of Afropress
Brasília – The black Brazilian population, already the largest outside Africa, surpassed the 100 million people mark, according to the study “Projeção da População do Brasil por Sexo e Idade para o período 200/2060 e Projeção da População das Unidades da Federação Por Sexo e Idade para o período 2000/2030 (Projection of Population of Brazil by Sex and Age for the period 2000/2060 and Projection of Population of Units of the Federation by Sex and Age for the period 2000/2030)”, of the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE or Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics).
The preto (black) and pardo (brown) population, which corresponds to 50.7% of the population, according to the IBGE Census of 2010, has now reached 101,923,585 inhabitants. The publication reported that this week Brazil passed the 200 million mark of inhabitants: we are now 201,032,714 inhabitants.
The study also made a projection of how many people there will be by 2042 when the population is expected to reach 228.4 million; 115.7 million negros, which consists of self-declared pretos and pardos, in accordance with the classification criteria of race and color of the IBGE.
quote:Number of Brazilians declaring themselves preta (black) increases to 16 million
According to Pesquisa Nacional de Amostra por Domicílio (or PNAD or National Survey by Household Sample), published by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE or Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), on Friday, September 21st, the number of Brazilians that self-identified themselves as pretas (blacks) increased from 13.1 million in 2009 to 16 million in 2011. In 2009, according to research of 191.8 million Brazilians, besides those declaring themselves preta (black), 92.5 million considered themselves branca or white, 84.7 million declared themselves parda or brown and 1.3 million claimed to be of another ethnicity.

I think Michaelangelo was a Black man because there was a heavy Black people presence in the Italian peninsula during the Roman Empire. If you look at the Roman Gods and Goddesses statues in private collection that are sold by art auction houses like Christies and Sothebies the majority of the statues looks like the statues of Black and Mulato people.

Far from looking like new we see numerous cracks and prove again Mike is a chronic pathological liar.
Mike is trying to scam and hustle again, attempting to say that unless a painting is cracked in the exact same was as the Mona Lisa that he can therefore say anything he wants is fake. The lowly, dishonest lying snake will use any means to try to save face and promote his retarded alternative history and ongoing pathetic desire to be a famous old European.

I notice when albinos have troubles in arguments, or they hit roadblocks, they will simply repeat what they have said despite whatever has transpired in the discussion. As if saying it over and over gives it more validity or authority. I have seen this online and in real life.

1) The information you've posted is interesting. I posted the Metmeum interesting, because it's interesting to see so many different portraits.
2) Yes, I am African (Black-European).

when a lie is repeated so must be the truth be shown
And even if this painting was fake it makes no difference the engraving of this man with a broken nose does not depict a black person nor was it made when this man was alive, and was copied from a painting as such engravings are. And is another example of the peculiar new phenomena where black people have a burning desire to be famous old Europeans

We went through this about 7 years ago. Most likely Cleopatra was “politically black” based upon lineage. Sage and I debated this. I mentioned when I was younger AfroCentric I used the simplistic logic that she was born in Africa so she is black!! Then I went from that to deciding she was white, after all, the Greeks/Ptolemy did not marry the natives….I was told. But later found out that was a lie. Researching the lineage of the Ptolemy’s I found out that they did indeed marry the locals and had kids. It was ‘documented’ that Cleo’s father, grandfather and Great grandfather were off spring of local women. Also Cleos younger siblings were confirmed indigenous Africans. So logically based upon her lineage through her paternal line she is undoubtedly “African”. Her mother was unknown. Now, we know there is no genetic evidence of the Greeks actually procreating or leaving descendants IN Africa unless the Greeks were African themselves.

Fool, Cleopatra was a descendant of invader Greeks. The last authentic Egyptian dynasty was the 25th dynasty of Nubian pharaoh, Taharka.
Non-African Syria invaded and that was the end of Egypt's 3,000 year impressive run. Persians and other invaders followed to pick away at Egypt's carcass. Greeks and Romans followed suit.
Have no idea why all the fuss about the colonizing Greek Ptolomy invader settlers.

The thread is about Cleopatra indeed. Considering the fact that she was from North Africa, this is being addressed . I can't help that you can't follow along, then try to brush it under the curtain as me so called trolling.
Cleopatra's mother 'was African'
Cleopatra, the last Egyptian Pharaoh, renowned for her beauty, was part African, says a BBC team which believes it has found her sister's tomb.

Cleopatra was not the last Egyptian Pharaoh. Egypt's dynasties ended with the 25th dynasty.
Invaders were so impressed with Egypt that they set up fake pharaohs--as in the case of the Greek invaders and colonizers.
Hey, there are many authentic dynasties that one could discuss. Forget all that dumb Hollywood chatter about Antony and Cleopatra.

If Cleopatra wasn't a part of the Old or Middle Egyptian kingdoms, then who cares. Egypt's Roman period was the least important part of it's history. IMHO, Cleopatra was a very politically astute high end prostitute who was very likely mulatto (intermixed black). Cleopatra had nothing to do with Egypt's religions, rituals, custom's or history, so it's irrelevant to me what she actually was.
BTW: It seems to me that Albinos and their love for this part of Egyptian history would be more interested in Cleo's mummy than any other, but I've not taken time to research to discoveries in this area. Anyone?

So what. Alexander wanted to be considered a Pharaoh, Donald Trump considers himself a genius, and Chelsea Manning considerd HIMSELF, as an ovary and milk producing breast free "She". Just goes to show that people can convince themselves (and other fools) of anything.

The main point made by Afrocentrists is that • Greece owes a substantial debt to Egypt and that • Egypt was anterior to Greece and should be considered a major contributor to our current knowledge.
quote:this is what the Greek and Romans actually looked like they were not white like English or Germans are
without a doubt Cleopatra was not Elizabeth Taylor white
The Greeks and Romans of 2,000 years ago look the same as they look today. There is no historical evidence of any major migration southwards of peoples from further north. Same for the Romans/Italians. Turkey invaded Greece and Arabs invaded places like Sicily but the Italian population as a whole does not seem to be much affected.

Kenny G has naturally curly hair not a perm. Some jews have what they call a "jewfro" although his hair is not to the fro extent
Regardless according to Mikean theory, curly hair = black. Therefore Kenny G is either wholly or in part black or "mulatto" as Professor Mike likes to say
