mysticwarrior:Living in Nigeria is so better than Brazil. Nigeria is so better than Brazil of course. Why can't we all just accept that Brazilians are both ashy black, medium black, brown, yellow and white people? After thousands of years we have all been mixed. There is hardly any "pure race" in Brazil. Has it ever really been? Brown people are the most beautiful regardless stupid comments.

bjnorl:Brown Brazilians and black Brazilians who have mixed blood are all nothing but diluted NEGROES, we Africans are the purest negroes sitting at the top of blackness with lofty and dignified height, we are the Superior negroes who never feels ashamed of our skin color. |

mysticwarrior: I really don't know what a diluted negro is? If a child is half African/black and Half white, are they not also a "diluted Caucasian.", why a diluted Negro. You see this is where confusion of genetics and race comes into play and perpetuates the very same racial hierarchical structure that is popular in the world today. Africans are not pure anything, combinations of various different "races' of Africa of which a few became dominant phenotypical expressions. Brazilians are what they are a combination of Asiatic, African and European genetic material. They constitute a new peoples and although there is a race hierarchy that exists in terms of identity they will never be able to escape their identity on a genetic level. |

morpheus24:when I say diluted I mean they are not as pure black as we Africans, there are also those with complete black features but have white blood in their lenage would you call such a pure Negro? |
Re: "Brown People" another ethnic group in America by morpheus24: 6:50pm On Aug 13, 2019 |
mysticwarrior: 1. There is nothing such as a "pure negro". The term is erroneous. What you can say is that is more accurate would be that Most Brazilians who identify as "black" are of majority African descent while Africans in general such as a Nigerian are of 100% African descent. You cannot use the word "pure" because it denotes something needing to be absent from your makeup that constitutes an imperfection or a non necessity. 2. There are individuals who present phenotypically or "physically" that are contemporary with A typical Nigerian look and still may have up to 30% European DNA but that does just means that a physically interpretation or condition of a person does not necessarily designate their "race' but alludes to the fact that they may carry a majority of a particular physical appearance common to a particular "race" I hope this is not too complex for you to understand. In order words self identification is subjective. |

mysticwarrior:Superior negroes. Lol Nigerians are so racist . You think that Black and Brown Brazilians who have mixed blood are inferior to " pure black africans". And Nigerians called us "racist". The ideology of black supremacy is the mirror image of white supremacy. 1 Like |

Compton11, i just checked you profile and saw your Topic on Black people invention and development in the world, what a fine topic and i love the way you carefully made detailed analysis, i have nice contribution to give there but you have to first of all prove everything you said here about African Americans being " the smartest COS ALL TECHNOLOGY INVENTION BY THE BLACKS WERE ACTUALLY FROM THEM" pls kindly prove this with convincable evidence. |
Re: "Brown People" another ethnic group in America by compton11(m): 4:27pm On Aug 15, 2019 |
mysticwarrior:well u have already seen te evidence in my topic, most Nigeria see themselves as inferior to whites,while the Africans Americans aren't . |
Re: "Brown People" another ethnic group in America by mysticwarrior(m): 6:36pm On Aug 15, 2019 |
compton11:you said "African Americans are the smartest blacks cos all the technology invention by the Blacks were actually from them" in as much as you might be sounding right you are also wrong, and I will prove it to you. You have to understand that not "ALL TECHNOLOGY INVENTION BY BLACKS WERE ACTUALLY FROM AFRICAN AMERICANS" His name is Professor Gabriel Oyibo and he is a renowned mathematician whose works were both controversial and useful. He founded the popular theory called “God Almighty Grand Unified Theorem (GAGUT)”. This theory has been massively criticised by some scholars. While some people see him as a man not thinking with his right faculty, others perceive him as a genius. Whatever the case, Professor Gabriel is known to have a full curriculum vitae. For one, the professor obtained his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Troy, New York where he worked for four (4) years on NASA/AFOSR sponsored research. He made a lot of contributions in aircraft design, aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, mathematics and taught several courses. This achievement made His Royal Highness, Attah of the Igala Kingdom bestow upon him the honour of Knighthood. Brigadier Oviemu Ovedje This Nigerian scientist made the country proud in many ways. This he did through his personal accomplishments and national contributions. One very astounding work which he is known to have done is a design called EATSET. EATSET was created for the purpose of solving the problem of blood salvage from body cavities. This was done by means of replacing and improving on the gauze filtration technique practiced in third world countries. Oviemo Ovadje who is from the Isoko in Delta State was awarded as the Best African Scientist in 1995 before African Heads of States due to his engagement with science. Also, he won the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Gold Medal for his unique scientific work designed to save women who usually die from abnormal pregnancy called ectopic gestation Philip Emeagwali The world may not know it but in Nigeria and in the vast, technological space of computer science, it is known that Nigerian Philip Emeagwali might well be the greatest scientist ever to come out from these quarters. The chap who has been living in the United States of America for many years is recognized worldwide and has been voted “Father of Super-computing”. In fact, he is ranked #1 in computing just as he is ranked FIRST by Google for “contribution to the development of the computer.” Recently, the Time magazine wrote an article about him in which he is regarded as the “Unsung Hero” behind the internet. Within the piece written about him, it was unveiled that this awesome genious named Philip Emeagwali has a higher IQ than Albert Einstein. Unbelievable, right Jelani Aliyu Now when we talk about technological chaps of the newer generations, Jelani Aliyu is at the forefront of the track field, or better put, the road. This Kaduna born Muslim is a car designer renowned for designing the revolutionary electric car called Chevrolet Volt. This car which has been predicted as the one that will change the history of all sweet rides in the world was given a structure and form by Aliyu himself. The genius man was born in 1966 as a fifth of seven children belonging to Aliya Haidara and Sharifiya Aliyu. After having a sterling education in Nigeria, Aliyu went on to Detroit, USA to study Transportation Design at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. He was able to further his education in Detroit on a Sokoto state government scholarship and he graduated in 1994. Once he graduated, he caught the eyes of an American multinational corporation called General Motors. He worked as part of the design staff and went on to design vehicles sold under various brands like uick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Holden and so on. For all these astounding feats, President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed him as the director-general of the Nigerian Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) Silas Adekunle This young individual named Silas Adekunle is beginning to be one of the most beautiful miracles that have happened to Nigeria in a long time. He is a Nigerian technology entrepreneur and the co-founder of Reach Robotics, an augmented reality gaming company that creates robots for gaming and for STEM education. Due to his creation of a robot called MekaMon, Adekunle has partnered with Apple, signing an exclusive distribution deal to sell his product in both the United States and Britain. Legit.ng wrote an article that gave a lot of details about this arising world class genius. From the lives of these really exceptional people, it can be seen that Nigeria is really not all about wars, disasters, poverty, kwashiorkor, slums or diseases. There are good things everywhere we turn in this country. It only takes a perceptive to look deeper and see the lilies swimming atop the mire. Okonjo Iwela, one time world Bank President, she is a Nigerian. Compton 11 pls tell me something I don't know, are Nigerians not smart and highly talented?

panafrican: What do you mean Nordic European influence? The Nordic people settled in the Mid West states like Minnesota. They were a white minority and probably too few of them were slave owners or even lived in the South where slavery was legal. That is why it's so rare to find an African American bearing a Nordic surname. The white racial superiority predated the Nordic emigration to America. This was British. Also, the taboo of racial intermarriage was also British unlike the Spaniards or Portuguese where it was tolerated. What the Nordic immigrants were famous for was there extremely law abiding nature. This stunned other whites and they thought them stupid. You had dumb Swede jokes which poked fun at their law abiding nature. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mysticwarrior: When I used the term brown, I was talking according to the use of the term by Americans. Those dark skinned people you showed are probably those from Southern India. They are most likely Tamils. They have brothers in Sri Lanka. Tamil Nadu if I'm correct is probably the 2nd most developed state in India. Some Tamils might be bleaching as the preferred skin colour in India are the light skinned Indians from North India. 1 Like |

grandstar: There was interracial mixing and marriages in the early parts of the US colonies in places like Virginia and the Carolinas. It went on for some time. However historically white women went to US colonies in decent numbers whereas in Latin America they did not for a long time. So Euros who went to Latin America married natives or African women. Same thing occurred in New Orleans Euro women did not go there in large numbers, very hot climate, more difficult to get to. The Spanish also had much more detailed racial classifications, Mestizo, Castizo, Harnizo, Mulatto, Quadroon, Octoroon, Negra etc. |
