There's this store near my house that is owned by some dark skinned people the mom is dark, the dad is dark, the family are all dark skinned. Half of the family look Indian and the others look like Wesley Snipes.

Was your point that categorizing people by like 5 different races is an over generalization?

 

[ItachiDaSoloKing]

"Black" people are humans with darker skin. Pretty obvious.

 

[The Big Boss]

if race is always on your mind then you should wonder more about Pangaea and what it is to be a human being

Race does not really exist...I believe in Ethnic groups...but if race was to exist there would logically be only 2

What's on my mind is my personal business why would I share my personal thoughts with a stranger...this is not on my mind but in my face....

Alot of those people are either mixed or migrated to those countries or just happen to be natives of that country(Those are the original Australians).

Right, ethnic groups exist while race is kind of a lazier, broader term for differences of human beings. But for someone who doesn't apparently believe in race, you sure do talk a lot about it.

interesting thread. Those pictures are right in the way they depict the races and how the media displays only light skinned people. Racism is everywhere it seems.

Black is a skin color

 

[Avery Uchiha]

Black is the term used for the "color" of darkness and lack of other colors.

Race and talking are both social things ya know...I don't believe in many things but I talk about them...

"Jesus was black. Egyptians were all black. Black people are all different and it is pointless to go by race."

You're contradicting yourself here, sorry to say.

When you say black people think of Negroids. The other dark skinned ppl have their own distinction
People have a craze for being light skinned.

That's extremely flawed and poor logic. Do humans have to come in rainbow colours to make it easy for people who are so skin colour obsessed as you? Genetics mean nothing to you? Ethnic group includes people who share a common cultural background or descent.

lol I hear Fair and Lovely is popular in Africa too. That's another debate altogether though.

Good thing you mentioned "hear", because no such exist in South Africa...

Even that is flawed, There are many people called "Negroids" who share no common trait except being homo sapiens.

Senteneles haven't bred outside of their Island for over 60 000 years and are called negroes meanwhile "white" separated from black just 8 thousand years ago :sdo:

People have a craze for being light skinned.

It is not exactly craving light skin. Unless you're from the east of course

It's about achieving that equilibrium "perfect" skin colour. Most of the times Mexicans, Brazilians, and Native Americans have it.

To prove this you will notice dark skin beings bleaching and light skinned beings tanning. Both from extremes of black and white trying to achieve that in between equilibrium colour. (TAN)

Asia is a different story altogether, this theory doesn't apply there. The whole of Asia is hell-bent on getting the whitest skin...

Good for you but Africa is not just limited to the country named South Africa.


Edit: It seems you don't know about it but :

South Africa is marketed to the world as Mandela's rainbow nation, where everyone is proud of their race and heritage. But for some black South Africans there is such a thing as being too black.

A recent study by the University of Cape Town suggests that one woman in three in South Africa bleaches her skin. The reasons for this are as varied as the cultures in this country but most people say they use skin-lighteners because they want "white skin".

Local musician Nomasonto "Mshoza" Mnisi, now several shades lighter, says her new skin makes her feel more beautiful and confident.
