[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: Except black isn't exclusively dark brown/black. Sub Saharan Africa has colors ranging from light brown to dark.[/QUOTE]I dispute that claim (since I'm talking population [i]averages[/i], not cherry-picking individuals or looking at atypical variation like only 5% of a Sub-Saharan African tribe have light brown skin), but I'll go along with it for sake of argument: are West Asians and Southern Europeans then black? They have light brown skin shades. That's the double standard you employ. [/QUOTE]you're erroneously concluding African identity or "blackness" is strictly determined by skin tone. Race cannot feasibly be determined strictly by skin tones. West Asians with dark skin are often still genetically tied to other Asians and physically located in Asia. The issue is context. AE were culturally and genetically connected to the rest of Africa. They were a people that lived in Africa. That coupled with the fact their skin colors encompassed what's been proven to be possible within Africa (without non Africans) demonstrates they were an indigenous African people. The irony of this is that when it comes to Africans everything is expected to be monolithic under the guise of discussing "averages." Tribes, clans, and regions cannot have local physical variation that contrasts from an "average" or stereotypical image. If they do they risk the insistence that they can't be "African."
