[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Willing Thinker {What Box}: [b]alTakruri[/b], I find that it remains up to [b]us[/b] to refrain from marginalizing 'black' africans. However, I am beggining to sway towards your side again, as I think it may indeed be more strategic to just use [b]african[/b], and marginalize Arabs, and others in Africa as it's more logical. [b]And who made the law saying "tropical african" can NEVER make the flynch from an *anthropological* **TERM** to an ethny?[/b] ...After all, it's no less legit that 'black' african.[/QUOTE]Recap: I agree with the general idea of simply referring to 'indigenous' Africans as "Africans", but I can also understand why "black Africans" would keep cropping up in both ancient north African and north African/sub-Saharan African 'dichotomy' discourse. ^One perspective, and a personal one at that, but here's another: [i]It must be advocated that the terms “Negro” and “Black African” be dropped from the biological lexicon in favor of “[b]Saharo-tropical[/b] variant,” which [b]subsumes the range of morphologies of great time depth found in Africa.[/b][/i] - Studies and Comments on Ancient Egyptian Biological Relationships, S.O.Y. Keita. So, when we say 'black Africans', we are [i]really[/i] talking about people with recent 'tropical African ancestry', which can be verified by way of TMRCA lineages, morphological traits and even phenotype like 'dark skin'. "Black African" is little more than just reference to skin, it is referencing the 'entirety' of an individual [but with emphasis to skin color], which has the same effect as 'Tropical African'. Different words used as an adjective, but achieve the same ends, which is reference to 'indigenous Africans' who normally happen to be of some dark skin shade, but who also come in a variety of morphologies and skin gradient. In fact, 'Saharo-tropical African' as a bio-anthropological term, far more accounts for the variety in indigenous Africans, than does the term "Black African" in of itself. [/QB][/QUOTE]
