What do u think of lightskins and what makes them different?

[Whymelord]

Well from what I've heard lots of guys and girls love lightskins so im wondering if thats true for anyone else

[BeMuse]

If you mean black girls, well that’s because they typically come frome places in Africa that have mixed with White Eropeans and Asians (Middle Eastern Muslims/Jews) so they picked up more of those people’s physical features over the generations. Most light skinned black girls either originate from countries around the horn of Africa like Ethiopia Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan or From Mediterranean coastal nations. Central Subsaharien Africa was mostly cut off from the outside world until European colonialism.

[Whymelord]

Thanks for the history lesson but no black girls mixed with white and do u find them attractive

[wankiam]

interesting theory and i do agree but would like to add something thats missing yet fundemental... we all originated from the rift valley in what is modern ethiopia so maybe its not so true about european colonialism creating mixed races

[Whymelord]

@wankiam Someone knows their history😉

[BeMuse]

Same shit different era… Black people that mix with white people over generations will pick up more traits (not just skin color) from white people due to mixing DNA, so they generally become more physically attractive to some white people (myself included). Most people are subconsciously compelled to mate with people that have some common genetic similarities, because it means their genes will be preserved in their children. Just being mixed though doesn’t make you attractive. Most people regardless of their race are going to be average. There is also a huge cultural disconnect in the USA between white and black Americans due to self-segreation. Blacks tend migrate towards the poor areas of the inner city due to affordability and whites tend to migrate towards more affluent areas of the suburbs as they get wealthier (capitalism at work). Thus there’s always the struggle of haves vs have nots, jealousy, class conflict, etc… A lot of poorer black people don’t want to integrate culturally into mainstream America so they stay outsiders. Black people that get a good education, go to college, work a solid job like engineering or whatever, make money, move to the subburbs, and culturally assimilate and don’t have a chip on their shoulder tend to be more attractive to other white people in the middle class that have similar goals in life.

[wankiam]

thats all true but does nothing to address my point that we all actually came from the same place... also if you checked your dna its likely you have some neandethal too oh and in the big picture of evolution america has existed for approximately 12 seconds lol so maybe not as relevant as you imagine

[Whymelord]

@wankiam thats perfect😂😂

[BeMuse]

@wankiam I was talking to Whymelord about light skinned people and possible attractiveness to Whites/Asians, but if you really want me to correct you, that’s fine I can do that… If you’re operating under the assumption that Life itself originated in modern day Ethiopia then you’re highly delusional, because there are far older species than anything found living on land. For example cyanobacteria are in the range of 2.8 billion years old. If you’re just referring hominids, while there have been a number of discovers in the rift valley due to the unique conditions of the location, there have been older hominid fossils found. If you want to learn something look up Sahelanthropus tchadensis, which was found in northern Chad in 2001 dated at between 6 and 7 million years old. It was found in what is today the Sahara Desert, which was once more of a savanna back around that period. Climate is always changing so when water was locked up in ice sheets that area dried out and became uninhabitable over time. Another major event that likely hid a good deal of hominid fossils is the Zanclean flood of the Mediterranean which happened about 5-6 million years ago due to a shift in tectonic plates. The fact is the story of hominids is all conjecture. We just tell it the best way we can with the very limited amount of evidence available to us at any given time. We are trying to reverse engineer our narrative... None the less the evidence doesn’t point to the rift valley at the moment, but it’s always open for change. If you mean only Humans (Homo sapiens), well again you’d be wrong because you’re operating on evidence from the 1960s… Since that period human remains have been found in Jebel Irhound, Morocco that are up to 154,000 years older than the remains found at Omo Kibish, Ethiopia. We’ll never have the complete picture. It’s going to stay an open mystery that we will hopefully continue to find clue to. You really should have solid opinions on something so flimsy and transient.

[BeMuse]

So how does it feel to be wrong? There are you happy now that I paid attention to you?

@Whymelord Who knows their history? Certainly not wankiam… To clarify the point I was speaking to about central subsaharien Africa being mostly cut off from the outside world, what I mean is that they weren’t directly connected to the larger more successful civilizations that traded along the spice road. Due to that isolation, they didn’t mix as much racially. The big cradles of civilization sprung up independently in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, China, and Mesoamerica. All with the exception of the Native Americans due to isolation traded along the silk road as did powerful European civilizations. That was the world at the time. Slaves from small less successful civilizations like Kongo passed into the Muslim slave trade on the horn of Africa and went East along the silk road, but for the most part the were cut off.

[BeMuse]

*silk road... Thinking about dinner. :D

[wankiam]

i do know my history... i think you are the one having trouble with the origins of man versus geoplitical events in more recent times

[wankiam]

[DizzyDesii]

Some people say lightskins are snobby. My ex was the only one to prove them wrong as far as i know cause the majority are

[wankiam]

makes no difference to me

[wankiam]

@mrtriggered... i removed your post because it was offensive and use dinsulting language which is in direct breach of site rules. if i see you use that kind of language to anyone else i will do the same if another mod doesn't do it first. hope thats clear enough for you

[YvanKarma]

Light skins as in black people that are light skin?

I never understood the whole light skin dark skin thing.

You never hear Indians say yeah i'm a light skin Indian.

This is only something in the black community which i realyl don't get lol

[YvanKarma]

There are black mixed with white who do not turn out light skin.

[Whymelord]

True but most do

[YvanKarma]

Cos my older and younger brother are a bit darker, whereas i am more redskin

[DizzyDesii]

You sure? Cause the indians that used to hit me up on here would ask if im indian. I'd say no im black. Then theyd argue me down that im lightskin and therefore considered brown like them and that theyd give me a chance just because i was not darkskin. It was a pretty fcked up. convo

[YvanKarma]

@DizzyDesii Oh!!! hmm, well i have never seen or encounter such. What do you think is the reason behind such mentality? the influence of the west?

[DizzyDesii]

They lived in actual india. All of them

[YvanKarma]

@DizzyDesii Well, i guess that also would depend where in India, cos the majority over there is dark skinned

[Whymelord]

Yea not india i meant in like America and I don't know why people think that they always say lightskins r fine etc.

[cjbigld]
