[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-38-5.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ephotobay.com/image/picture-42-2.png[/IMG] the difference here is more than just lighting. Unlike many African Americans Wole Soyinka spends time in Europe and also in Nigeria which is close to the equator and has UV higher than anywhere in the U.S. The difference is the conditions he is staying at the moment and the degree at which he tans in high UV Nigeria. Most Americans would not experience these drastic changes in environment. If you want to say that the photo of Wole Soyinka at the bottom of this post represents the "default" complexion of most African Americans if Wole Soyinka was living in Chicago he would have skin lighter then that default. He is lighter skinned than this "default" and l ighter skinned than most Nigerian males (females are more often lighter) he only reaches your default when he has been exposed to summer or Nigerian living conditions. Unless he gets enough sun Dehootie says he isn't Black. There is a color border line and some people are right near it. So conditions can push them one way or the other over the border. Somebody who is at your default to begin with experiences more subtle differences on high sun exposure but if somebody is light brown, high yellow or "white" when they go into a high UV environment for a while they have more dramatic chnages in their skin tone. Wole Soyinka is naturally around light brown high/high yellow skin tone. When he is exposed to a lot of sun he looks darker, more like an average African American. [/QB][/QUOTE]
