Question about light skinned Africans

*sigh* I was originally annoyed by this topic but I guess you are ignorant and want to know so I will answer.

I think it all depends on where you are in Africa and climate. Don't quote me on the climate thing. I'm just going by logic. I told you guys about that lady that I used to work with that I thought was Spanish/Hispanic and she straight up told me to mind myself. She said she's straight up African and from North Africa, they speak Portuguese in her part of Africa.   She's probably from Cap Verde, Amber Rose's people. There is a portuguese man in her family tree. The Portuguese always married and swirled with the native population (see Angola, Cap Verde, Brazil...). The Swahili speakers have some Arab blood running through them.  There is a tiny percentage of the Congolese population that has some Chinese in them due to the Chinese laborers who were brought in to build the railroad from Matadi to Kinshasa. <----Is 100% raw Black. My parents are from the same tribe and area. My father's generation is the first to marry out of their tribes. Not all Africans are mixed.

Purp you better get outta my head. I spent all afternoon trying to remember the name of her country. Cape Verde was the name.

Different shades of black exist totally independent of white mixing. This can be attributed to climate, genetic make-up and so forth. Just like there are different shades of asian, there are different shades of African. Eritrean, Somalian and Ethiopian people tend to be light in complexion with loosely curly hair. This doesn't mean that they are mixed with white. This gorgeous lil bundle of joy is from the Southern part of Africa. Light but not mixed.

you're sweet, but sweet nov loves talking about the same ish she said yesterday, don't waste your keystrokes

my family is nigerian and 100 pure. there is not a drop of any other race within us, unless you count adam and eve. We range from kelly rowlands color to beyonce, me being somewhere in between that spectrum. The different skin tones just happen, okay? that dont mean we mixed, so yall need to stfu. Yall dont know nothin bout nothin. And if someone makes a thread like this again, I'm going to report them.
