The Study of Racialism

I cringe every time I see or hear this. Why do some Black people say this? Why do they classify every person with known or discernible African ancestry as Black?

I think using the word "black& ...

I think our messages crossed in cyberspace.

Correct! Laughing

Well obvioulsy, there is not one place of origin but many for many americans.

It IS possible to link people to specific haplogroups via mtdna (maternal lineage) or y dna (paternal lineage), but ag ...

I'm a redhead, too. Even when I little, people would ask my Mom did she dye my hair! Really now! People seldom believe it's mine since I'm not white. I've got copper/orange-reddish skin and freckl ...

The person, imo, looks kind of like some native south americans I've seen. Especially from the side. Perhaps a tad like some Africans, but more like South Americans. Imagine the bowl shaped hair-cut o ...

Topanga and her were both bombshells to me. I loved em both.

The only time I ever hear the word "swag" in real life is when describing some dude with a thug-like attitude. It's probably just because I feel no connection to that style...To me, the &quo ...

Just so it's cl ...

Can you give an example of "hood or ghetto" in appearance? An example based on appearance would be limited to style of dress. That's not the biggest indicator of "hoodness" or ...

I would say also the black women I see in these relationships are not "fine" in a African American sense, but just average looking.

Time and time again (like today for example) I see only ...

I know some white guys who would only date the finest, finest black girls.

If only black guys would do this with white women.....I kid, well sort of. Confused

Well, I won't single out white women, b ...

Always go for the gold or platinum. That's what I say. Rusty brass and copper must never do.

There would be a lot fewer people in the world is this advice was taken to heart!

I know some white guys who would only date the finest, finest black girls. A friend's response to a comment about meagan good was: "she does look good for a black girl." As a matter of fact, ...
