[QUOTE]Originally posted by akoben08: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by USA: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundiata: [qb] You brain drained Black Arabs kill me with your obsession with AAs. Yonis for one, has bigger, dried up lips and Blacker skin than most AAs I know (his face looks like a fat black prune), yet somehow is offended by his own "Blackness". :rolleyes: It goes with out saying that AMR1's Arab bias is at the root of his infatuation with lighter skinned people than himself, so I'd let him slide. He merely submits to Arab peer pressure and is willfully submissive to their ideology, which is why he takes the comments of a handful of Africans and caricatures the entire continent while imposing his distorted concepts on AAs and other continental Africans as if we/they need to adhere to them. [/qb][/QUOTE]What is it with these sensitive highly defensive replies whenever this subject is brought up? Why is it that everytime I read a post from a non-USA view of how they socially define black and/or comment on the US's definition of it they immediately get accused of: 1) Self-Hate 2) Wanna be/worshipping Arabs or Whites 3) Confused mixed person ? Is it that AA's think that their 'blackness' is being challenged? Or somehow diminished? [/qb][/QUOTE]You're right, AMR1 his color definitions are similar to Latin American's "racial democracy" color scheme (so there goes his view of it as an "African" phenomena). But as they are increasingly discriminated against no matter their shade, many Latin American blacks have come to see the folly of this racial democracy sham and are organising more along definitions similar to what Sandiat and myself hold. This because racial definitions are constructs and keep evolving with situations, they are not concepts set in stone for us to draw lines in the sand between them and say one is 'African" and other "AA" and never should twain meet. That is rubbish and for a man of his age he should know better. I don't think it too harsh to say he is confused based on his posts, that is what we have to go by anyway. Given his views on AE and use of "negriod" he fits definition of an intellectual dinosaur. It find it incredible with the amount of information today on AE, genetic studies etc, as a black man, he still holds firm to these out dated views. This obviously informs his views on color and AA. But like Sundiata said the original premise about literal Black makes this whole discussion redundant anyway. [/QB][/QUOTE]
