@ Tatee THEY should not be tho, their color is not white or even close to it.
@ nini, technically EVERYBODY in the world is from African descent. I prefer to break it down & simplify |
this is one of the funniest things about black people. folks wont claim a person whose biracial as black but will claim every other race based on what happened 25K + years ago.

White people are more than happy to claim what country they come from. We don't know where we come from so we're stuck with a broad term.

I have an Egyptian friend she considers herself black...and the term Negro is outdated they really should remove it. |
A lot of North Africans don't, and some even say they are not African at all. Its pretty interesting.

yes I know its rare she is also married to a black man its only when she starts speaking Arabic that I'm reminded that she is Egyptian but she is a concious individual so l wouldn't expect her to think of herself of anything else but the truth she does not seperate Egypt from Africa as most do.
