[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] @Tyrannohotep I've always said that my gripes with the term were never meant to dissuade people from using that term. But I have called out people who are using the term as a trojan horse. Although I think it might be better to fall back on that. Time is going to deal with people. Folks are walking around with an expiration date timer above their heads. They just don't know it. https://youtu.be/PHVeyo4W18U?t=13s [/qb][/QUOTE]The way I see it, if anyone wants to use the dark skin and native African heritage of AEs in order to imply that they were completely coextensive in affinity with, say, Bakongo, they'd be arguing a a non-sequitur anyway. It'd be tantamount to saying Papuans would be biologically coextensive with either AE or Bakongo since they're also dark-skinned. In the end, the biological affinities of these populations are what they are. Saying the AE were black-skinned Africans is a separate animal from saying all Africans have to belong to one exclusive clade. [/qb][/QUOTE]And make no mistake about it. Some who use the term WANT a built-in non-sequitur and have it go unnoticed. Some deliberately don't want to clear it up. Since laypeople's mind will automatically evoke certain Africans when they hear 'black' it's a safe way to evoke that association without having to commit to it verbally. It's a safe way to manipulate people and still have that "exclusively pigmentation" way out when called out. [/QB][/QUOTE]
