haha okayyy are y'all comparingg the celebrities to nigerian people or all of africa because personally i think your just grouping all the light skin stars as igbo and darker ones yoruba, but refering to the first page oof the thread i think solange should be categorized as being from southern africa specifically zimbabwe |

afiamanu: Could you show me where I did that, thanks. |
Re: Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by Busybody2(f): 4:51pm On Feb 09, 2009 |
afiamanu: No one is doing that at all Twas just that we found it hard to place Solange with her unique look Negro_Ntns: Nah, she looks more like an Igbira to me |

ezeagu: Na true James Brown looks like someone you would call Cletus but I disagree with Snoop Dogg being Ibo, when next you buy Suya, look at the man serving you well well, and then come and tell me what you think |

ezeagu: When I said you, I meant that collectively as a group Rhiana looks like an Ibo girl. these are just a couple i found. But don't get me wrong I guess they could look like those nigerian sub-groups but there are other countries that these facial characteristics are found in more abundance |

Re: Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by Ndipe(m): 9:54am On Feb 18, 2009 |
These celebrities (who are 100 percent black) are just three/four/five generations away from Africa, so why would anybody be surprised that they look like an African? What are they expected to look like? |
Re: Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by ezeagu(m): 12:36am On Feb 20, 2009 |
Ndipe: As I stated before, I was just trying to get the post in a short title, I know their Africans. afiamanu: Well tell that to the study that shows that a lot of AA's are of Igbo descent. |

Re: Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by lovelylady: 4:49am On Mar 12, 2009 |
This is an interesting topic. I still don't understand how you can look at a persons features and tell what tribe they came from. |
Re: Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by davidif: 1:56am On Mar 16, 2009 |
Ray J and Reggie Bush look Yoruba. By the way, Wesley Snipes looks my Dad and he happens to be my dad's favorite actor. |
Re: Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by davidif: 1:58am On Mar 16, 2009 |
Eve looks igbo by the way. |
Re: Black Celebrities, What African peoples could they be from? by ezeagu(m): 6:07pm On Mar 24, 2009 |
lovelylady: I usually picture them speaking different languages and then see if they look like anyone I remember, then that's how I kind of get it. |
