Hati13:

I've read in this forum that Rwandas and Tanzanians are beautiful.

My grandmother from my mother side had partial Tigray ancestors and she was so white that they used to call her wheat. I never know her.

Wenedem, here you almost killed me

CocoMilian:


Lol your sensible

ok......bring up a topic, lets discuss.

Kenyanstar:

Yes, I think she used to stay in South C & you know the population of the Ethiopians in that area is so large.

I've heard so many myths about her that I dont even know what to believe. I once heard she's Seychellois!

Muafrika2:

Good luck too her. She's not really dark skin but at least her colour looks naturally African.

Really? She's not dark skinned?
Now i finally think i have realized where this misunderstanding about me posting only light skinned people is coming from.
Holly It seems like the definition of dark skin n light skin highly varies in Nigeria n Kenya.

***Please i'd need you guys here TayserMahiri, Nairobiwalker, mtis, Cocomilian et al

Please these pictures below of Nigerian ladies, can you guys please tell me how you classify them in Kenya? Dark skin, light skin or what?
(In Nigeria, they are all classified as dark skinned).

Muafrika2:

that's exactly where the problem lies................ here in Nigeria; she's dark skinned. infact, that's how most Nigerians look.

pls, lets forget skin color palaver.

Seriously, if the definition of dark skin by Kenyans is Lupitia Nyongo, then i finally see where the whole misunderstanding and false accusation is coming from.

*** People with Lupita's skintone in Nigeria are classified as 'extremely dark skinned' or 'very black' n not just dark-skinned.

Oromos, Harari and Ethio-Sudan mix songs are also very good.

@genieluv, also listen some of those Teddy Afro previous 2012 songs.

The picture is his beautiful wife.


1. Yemel sekay
2. Tenanekegn enba
3. Tikur sew(means, black person and it was about Menelik II, his wife empress and Adwa battle).
4. Sle fiqir
5. Ayzoh libe
6. Tsebaye senya(dedicated for his wife).

Is it like you guys have a classification bureau for skin tone?

Jambo!

I have never seen white pple classify themselves as white,light white or dark white. It's just white.

The pics you have shared we usually call them chocolate. But does it really matter? is colour that big of an issue?
Many of my colleagues are whites,Africans and Indians period.

TayserMahiri:

Ghanaians are blacker than Nigerians.

Which part of the world are you? Tanned , pale are what categorizes the white.

Jamboo! I personally want the Ghana pics

TayserMahiri:

Okay. I will take my time.

TayserMahiri:


Wenedem, here you almost killed me

Seriously wenedem, they used to call her snda(Amharic word which means weat flour).

My mother told me she(her mother) was very naive and will do anything to make others happy.

Hahahaha. genieluv, you are naturally a patient person and i admire this about you.
This observation about difference in definition of skin tones among Nigerians and Kenyans is something i've long realized but i just don't have the luxury of educating Kenyans.

What we identify as chocolate skin tone is what Kenyans identify as fair or light skin tone. Though, not just Kenyans though, many other Africans make this silly mistake.

For instance, i bet Kenyans here will identify me as a light skinned guy from my profile pic. But far away from that, i am of caramel or chocolate skin tone. Infact, in the black american community, i don't think i will even meet the definition of Caramel skin. I might outrightly be classified as dark skin.

Look at these 3 guys below for instance, this is a good and somewhat standard definition of Dark, Caramel & Light skinned.

It's so annoying how some pple who have never been out of there village try very hard to teach you how your country is.

Jay254:

Let me give you an example...people who live in Calfornia, Arizona in the US are "darker " than British. This is a result of weather conditions as the Britons sees lesser sun compared to Americans in those States. They've become tanned overtime because they ate exposed to much sunlight.

You posted the wrong images mtis. Those are not Nigerians, lol Ask Genie and Nowenuse they'll tell u

You are just ignorant then.

Do you think Southern Europeans and Northern/Westeen Europeans are of the same skin tone? Hell no they are not.
The southern Europeans are mostly of Olive white skin tone while the northern & western Europeans are of pale white and ghostly pale white skin tones.

Back then during colonial America, Southern European immigrants in America were not classified as whites at first, cos they were not white enough according to the standards of western & northern Europeans. It was many years/decades later they finally got classified as whites.

Whites also differentiate themselves heavily by being blonde, brunette & raid-haired. Or better still by being blue-eyed, green-eyed or brown/black eyed.
You are not from a white community, so you may not know this. I have followed white debates and interractions on skin tones a lot.

TayserMahiri:

if they want links i'll give them...tell the two sista to stop the facade thingy

Now I get the difference, but non feels superior to the other like how some lightskined ppl here feel.
