My Latina granddaughter has really curly hair. In spite of her blue eyes, I’m pretty sure that there’s some African in her. Gorgeous skin and if she would leave it alone, wonderful hair but of course she wants it straight.
Great. My family is Andalusian so I can now claim privileges for being Hispanic-African-Transexual-Lesbian...
Yeah, everybody’s African these days.
Except the president, of course.
So I guess that means that writing, literature, history, government, and pretty much every single invention that’s made any difference whatsoever in the past three thousand years... all of that is due to the glories of Africa, eh?
Right.
My left nut.
So it appears that Dennis Hopper’s musings about Christopher Walken’s ancestry in True Romance has some scientific basis....
Depending on your pov. Everyone is either OOE or OOA.
Well, it’s hardly surprising: in historic times, before the rise of Islam, the entire Mediterranean rim was part of the Roman Empire, with vibrant trade which continued even after Imperial rule of the western provinces became a legal fiction, with the Romanized “barbarian” military caste setting up kingdoms with the bounds of the still-theoretically-existing Empire, rather than a reality. Actually, Islam shut down the mixing of populations between North Africa and Europe, except in Muslim-occupied parts of Europe, while before that it was a general phenomenon.
North Africa a “chocolate” city?
‘Afro-European’ classification of “race”
is now to be added to all federal documents.
After centuries of women and men being raped by invading Muslims, a few genes are bound to stick around.
Not more African than I thought, because I always thought, after living in Italy as a child and then spending time in the Caribbean, that Italians were essentially mulatto.
Northern Europeans have long picked on Spain, saying “Africa begins at the Pyrenees”. Maybe they were more right than they knew.
Is North African the same as Sub-Saharan African?
Under Roman rule there was population movement from North Africa to Italy (St. Monica died in Ostia; the Roman playwright Terence was supposedly born in Carthage). Enslaved people from all over were brought to Rome ("the Orontes flowed into the Tiber"). Soldiers from North Africa might end up on a distant frontier in Europe or the Middle East.
Great.
So gimme my reparations you honky whiteycrackers!
NORTH Africa!!!!! - Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Morrocco
