[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [b]Black as a "racially" or biological term of classification varied based on context as well as who you are speaking to,[/b] we all know this. You can't go to the Caribbean or Africa and accurately [b]describe someone below a color grade of 24 black[/b], no matter how big the lips, wide the nose, kinky the hair and dark their parents might be. ...same-thing for India, and Korea (-minus a few shades). The problem at it's root isn't color, but race. Arguing about interpretation of the word "black" is a mere smokescreen. A good portion of people don't desire to subscribe to the Idea of race and within those that do, No one wants to agree on the parameters at which we classify each other. This rolls over to how we chose Identify ourselves and gives space for semantic manipulation in which we classify subjects racially based on a varying degree of pigment. [b]this is because of the fact that in the western world we apply color scheme to racial categorization; Black, brown, white, yellow, red... we confuse ourselves *purposefully* when we seek to associate or dissociate ourselves and others from a group in question. [/b] [b][i]An Amerindian can be well darker than an African, but they're considered red, A Chinese man can be well lighter than an Iberian, but the Chinese man would be considered yellow. [/i][/b] It's never been about color... It's politics, It's vanity. How it relates to Aegyptians is one in the same... To my knowledge they're Pigmented indigenous Africans, So in the western world... I would say they're black cause they fit the open criteria for such a classification....[/QUOTE]- Outside of western racialist classification, color; white/brown/red/black is described in relation of average pigmentation - Within Western racialism, color is representative of ancestry by region. ...it can not get any simpler. A Dravidian can be called black by a paki, to an american that same Dravidian will be considered "brown." why is this so hard for people to grasp here. [/QB][/QUOTE]
