And saying a the Bantu's and Khoisan did not mix, because the Khoisan are still here is the most ridiculous thing ever.

Thank you. I was going to point this out, but then I realised I was too tired to get into what I know will be a frustrating argument. I remember having this Bantu-Khoisan argument with him before the data loss happened, and I remember how unreasonable he was throughout that discussion.

I'm not even going to say anything about his insistence in classifying Igbo and Ibibio as Bantu.

CAMNEWTON4PRES:


No, the Bantu specialist ( not Bantu it needs to precised) will tell you the contrary . trying to give a specific look or feature to the largest African population. It is obvious that the fact Bantu live in different locations with various climates, they will adapt differently .

Do Japanese look like Chinese? They all Asian no?

Eh, that was my argument.

His argument seems to resemble those of Bantu supremacist. Since when is a language group the "purest race" in African!?

gallivant:


Eh, that was my argument.

I support your argument

CAMNEWTON4PRES:


Effik
Anang
Ibibio
Are Bantu
I will even also list the Igbo

The people listed above all interacted more with central Africa Prete colonial area , if it wasn't for western imperialism those people would never had link with Yoruba Hausa or Fulani ,no link with west Africans

Check Around confederacy
Check calabar kingdon
They all expanded towards Cameroon, they all were linked with Cameroon .

As for me the term semi Bantu is rubbish, it is not like their other sides( the semi) disappeared , so they are semi with what or who? As far I'm concerned one is as Bantu as x group when he's mixed. Now from what I learned in school the so called semi Bantu are called like this because their languages have Bantu patterns but not completely. They were kinda colonized by Bantu but also retained big part of their own stuffs

I don't know if serious

KenyanLady:
We are all Negroes except HOA.

Please tell me how superior HOA are

Superior in everything undesirable.

Would you say Goodluck Johnathan is a Bantu? I think he is

Smh. wat concerns Ijaw with Bantu?

gallivant:


You have never seen light skin Nilotes?

seriously? they must be so few I never imagined that there could be light skinned Nilotes

macof:

They are growing especially in big towns and cities in Kenya, most Luos and Luhyas intermarried (and other bantu groups like the Kuria and the Kisii) and they are more light skinned because of the lighter complexion of the luhya bantus. The original Luo look, is that of the south sudanese, black as pitch but not as tall the Dinkas in south sudan, like in this picture.

the maasai are a little lighter though.

I'm curious, many of the Boers in your country claim that when they were advancing north, they found no one, when i know that the Bantus had already settled by 500 AD and the boers arrived a thousand years later, in the 1650s, do they teach this in your history? if they do, it goes to show how much the white man has distorted African history, you seriously need to do something about this issue in South Africa!!

Um... I'm actually Nigerian. I don't think they still teach that Boers moved into empty country in this post-Apartheid era. I'd imagine that that is one of the things that have changed since the end of white minority rule.

@Radoillo
Oh, sorry about that, are there any south africans on this thread that i can address the question to?

TerryCarr:

yes of course their is variation but for the most part you can tell if some one is from south Sudan (majority of nilotics) because they look different from most niger-congo groups like you can tell someone is from Somalia or is a Khoisan.

but anyway here is a diverse look at the nilo Saharans/nilotics
http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/41362-Nilotic-Nilo-Saharan-People

There is a lot of diversity in south sudan!

Omarbah:
Isnt Bantu , a language not a racial group?

Bantus are related by blood. The relations may have become complicated due to the dispersal and assimilation of other tribes but all Bantus share a common male ancestry, now also proven by genetics.

What is his tribe?

Ijaw
