How can I help you

*Kails*:


lol really you already did and did not know it. when jay was saying beenie "looked akan"
you proved what i have been saying that the idea of using looks alone
to claim someone "must be" from a certain tribe is false, when you said he
could pass as a fulani.

Jayvarley:

Will you please help the thread and post us a picture and show us how diverse your Jamaican features are!

Fulaman198:

Oh lol so it was an indirect help lol

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Lol have you forgotten you told me i do not look Ghanaian

Royal^^Pearl^^:
^^ You have a point.

*Kails*:
hmmmm

who said anything about "pretending" there was no link?

answer that.

also i just spent an entire day not too long ago
EXPLAINING how not one cannot go by FEATURES ALONE
as even interracial mixing can influence one's facial features...

last time i checked a certain someone cosigned to that...lolz
so don't come here a few days later and act like you can just look at someone
and tell they are from an area. furthermore

i can post west africans from different countries and you probably won't be able
to tell where they came from.

I don't flip flop buddy.

Royal^^Pearl^^:
So true but i can't blame him. That's how people think and sometimes they may be right and sometimes they may be wrong. This reminds me of a question i saw on yahoo answers about Ghanaians and Jamaicans. Lol was actually funny

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081104094122AAr5Uyx

Black hair shops tend to be either Jamaican or Ghanaian or mixed between the two and Ive been in both they act the same

Girls with the biggest butt are usually Jamaican or Ghanaian Ive noticed.

--

I have even noticed a person born in Ghana and one born in Jamaica both say the word 'Material' exactly the same and some others lol I just remember that one even though their accents are very different

It is said the national lady in Jamaica was Ghanaian and most Jamaicans are of Ghanaian decent I wouldn't be surprised

--
To top it all the only black girls Ive gone out with were of Jamaican or Ghanaian decent but they didnt act exactly the same but seem to have the same taste in men right

@ Bold it does but different blacks within the diaspora have different levels of admixture.

It's like comparing Rita Marley to Shaggy.

Some are more diluted than others. .


Or do you disagree?

*Kails*:
-first of all maroons are not all the same.
BEING OF MAROON DESCENT, I am not asking you that.
there are maroon communities all throughout the island...

-some of them actually raided slave plantations, took in the slaves they captured
and integrated them into their societies by way of marriage.

-Speaking of which some maroons WERE mixed - with the Tainos.

-being akan does not mean homogeneity sir.

-some maroons speak twi while others speak coromantee which is also mixed
with other african languages (and even european) and others speak
dialects that are more bantu in influence than akan..not to mention their
cultures are more central african than west (hence kumina and the likes).

-as far as looks, even in africa all akan ppl do NOT look alike lol.

-it's very rare to meet a PURE maroon outside of the island
heck most don't even like living in the cities in jamaica. So please don't try
to use maroons to claim Jamaicans look more Akan than any other group.

*Kails*:


interesting you say that considering RITA MARLEY'S MOTHER (BIRTH MOTHER) WAS A MIXED CUBAN

Jayvarley:

I know she is of Cuban heritage but regardless, she is not the most mixed Jamaican person.

*Kails*:


you did not know that.

Jayvarley:

Oh I know a fair bit about the Marley Family. My family are big fans.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Jayvarley: [/b]

@ bold My words are being twisted yet again!

I said earlier certain Jamaican look like Akan People.

I never once said all Jamaicans do!

Some in my opinion look like Nigerians

A few even look like Europeans.

I all depends where you go.

I don't see why you should be upset if I made an observation about some of my people
resembling their ancestors.

I am well aware than some Maroons mixed with Taino's
however I'm sure that any Jamaican person of Maroon descent will have more African blood than Taino blood

Also search my posts and see if you can find me saying all Akan people look the same.

Never said it once.

But if we want to be really silly we can start denying brothers may look alike or even that children look like their parents.

Just as we are doing when we say there is no resemblance between Africans and Caribbean.

*Kails*:
here is another example:

Tyson Beckford.


They favor yes? But guess what, tyson is 1/3rd asian which is why HIS eyes are "chinky" (not to be racist).
therefore their "looking alike" is coincidental.

anyway brb

[size=18pt]It is impossible for us to be from one tribe after all of this time. It can be frustrating when certain people try to put you in a box and
" You resemble this tribe; you must be from here!" [/size][size=8pt][/size]
