[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Old Doctore: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] Who gives a **** where you're from? It's utterly meaningless. Bambara call Fulani red monkeys. I personally have heard some Africans refer to Fulani as the white man of Africa without being corrected by any Fulani present. Do you know the Pulaar/Fulfulde word for red? Is there any particular Fulani group that calls itself that? Of course by western usage all inner Africans are black and recognize themselves as such. That has nothing to do with the internal usage of red and black before any Euro whites came to Africa. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm from the region that your so damn interested about and I'm in daily contact with the people you seem to have some sort of obsession with. My girlfriends half Fulani and I've never heard them describe each other as "red" before, nor have I heard other African from the region describe them as such. Really now? Thats a first, even when considering that I grew up in a predominantly mixed Bambara and Fulani district in southern Mali. "the white man of Africa" oh please. Some of you Aframs really need to drop your assumption that the Fulani are some sort of high yellow mixed class so distinct from the surrounding populations. Go to page 39 and 40...

The Fulani have four terms/categories to describe the different skin tones of "black" people, in which they are included; they are "Very Black"/Balego, "Light Black"/Bayo, "Reddish Black"/Bodego, and "Very Light"/Danejo. You knew what I was talking about, did you not? That is all that matters when I'm addressing you in particular. You chose to ignore the other thread because you were unable to clearly respond to my questions... you always leave loose ends to your responses. [/QB][/QUOTE]
