I wasn't referring to you, which is OBVIOUS from the quote I replied to.

Um, you quoted me and then replied. How is it obvious you were replying to anyone one else? Help me out here

In the Americas that may be true, but there's a whole world out there. Black is certainly descriptive in a context. The context you ignore, it seems.

Please I'm a multi-ethnic individual, who grew up in several spots on the globe. BLACK is Descriptive in MOST contexts; in a physical sense as well as heritage sense. Using statistical minorities to make a point does not negate the fact that it is still NOT the norm,ie. Whites who are called black, is very irrelevant.

There are some thing you just misinterpret, or you just take it out of context. Since that has happened twice now, I think it's pointless to go on. Especially as you constantly refer to things I never really said. Maybe you have some sort of prejudice already about my opinions as you seems to think I say something I don't but I think in that case here's no real purpose in continuing this.

I'm constantly referring to things you never said? Example please.

Ps. you'r the one who brought up Africans, by the way.

Lol That lovely quote of mine was a response to someone else who brought up Black people. In my response I used Africans and African Americans (panther movement), to compare, and show the similarities, of phenotypes and histories of other designated black peoples. YOU on the other seem to be on a mission to prove how much Aborigines had nothing to do with Africans and therefore were not black.

They may be called black because they're dark, but other than dark skin they don't really resemble Africans in general.

Melanesian and Australians have the colour in common with Africans, and nothing else, really

I don't agree that you can say that Melanesians and Australians are "Black" and state that skin colour/appearance ONLY

Ask yourself honestly would you be on this thread trying to show how not black the Yoruba people are? Saying things like ,"the Yoruba are only black in color, but nothing else."

That would include a very tanned Khmer person too, in some cases, or some South Indians. Who sometimes magically would turn non-black if they stayed indoors for some time!

You mean like other humans South Indians get lighter without sun exposure? MY GOD WHO KNEW?
