[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] DOUBLE STANDARDS: Some race mongers like to use the stereotypical "true negro" to minimize and downplay African diversity. But when types resembling the "true negro" shows up inhabiting Europe, they suddenly change tune and whitewash the offender away as "non African" or "non-black."

What if an African ethnologist were to persist in recognizing as white-only the blond, blue-eyed Scandinavians, and systematically refused membership to the remaining Europeans, and Mediterraneans in particular—the French, Italians, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese? Just as the inhabitants of Scandinavia and the Mediterranean countries must be considered as two extreme poles of the same anthropological reality, so should the Negroes of East and West Africa be considered as the two extremes in the reality of the Negro world. To say that a Shillouk, a Dinka, or a Nouer is a Caucasoid is for an African as devoid of sense and scientific interest as would be, to a European, an attitude that maintained that a Greek or a Latin were not of the same race.“ -- CA Diop, 'Evolution of the Negro world', Presence Africaine -23, 51. 5-15 [b]DIOP on genotype versus phenotype[/b] "If we speak only of genotype, I can find a black who, at the level of his chromosomes, is closer to a Swede than Peter Botha is. But what counts in reality is the phenotype. It is the physical appearance which counts. This black, even if on the level of his cells he is closer to a Swede than Peter Botha, when he is in South Africa he will still live in Soweto. Throughout history, it has been the phenotype which has been at issue, we mustn't lose sight of this fact. The phenotype is a reality, physical appearance is a reality. And this appearance corresponds to something which makes us say that Europe is peopled by white people, Africa is peopled by black people, and Asia is people by yellow people. It is these relationships which have played a role in history... Now every time these relationships are not favorable to the western cultures, an effort is made to undermine the cultural consciousness of Africans by telling them. ‘we don’t even know what race is’. What that means is that they do not know what a black man is; [but] they do know what a white man is… It is the phenotype which has given us so much difficulty throughout history, so it is this which must be considered in these relations." --CA Diop. 1985- Interview in Journal of African Civilizations [IMG]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7VqPERQXyxw/Vvx9FmCxg-I/AAAAAAAACN4/hKBvXUVBDaofathsXWkHQSdIw0o2J5Dqg/s1600/diop2_phenotypeprimacy_diversity2_mofya.jpg[/IMG] [b]Africans the most phenotypically diverse [/b]- QUOTE: General- "Both methods for estimating regional diversity show sub-Saharan Africa to have the highest levels of phenotypic variation, consistent with many genetic studies." --- Relethford, John 2001. Global Analysis of Regional Differences.. Hum Bio 73:5 Skin color- “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." -- Relethford.(2000). Human skin color diversity is highest in sub-Saharan African populations. Hum Biol. 72(5): ------------------------------------------------------------------- [/QB][/QUOTE]
