    I mentioned that for exactly what you did say. I said that their knowledge of america does come from how african americans are presented in the media. It is pretty bad.

    I have to disagree with this talk of the term african american. It has proven that many "black" americans do have DNA that comes from africa. It is a right term. They are both americans and africans(through genetics) plus whatever mixture was added. You can trace them back to the groups in africa that they come from.

    That's just the why Flaming is, his jargon is for color, he does it with everyone. He has expressed views surrounding the history or revisionism of Black history in North Africa. Whether it's true or false and part of the misconceptions you speak of AA's having, it can all be mediated, if you just respond to Flamings words about the subject and not his rhetoric.

    The Berbers are often linked with the Arabs because of the mixing. I've always thought the Berbers were indigenous to Africa much in the same way Native Americans are indigenous to North America through incalculable ancient migration. You are saying their Haplogroup is native to Africa, it is and I have seen other people say the same thing.

    I think I should say, since I was the one to bring up Berbers, It's neither here or there for me, I think the question of race with regards to Berbers is the real bugaboo. Groups that don't fit or muddle constructs of Race/National identity often cause divise arguments about these terms. The construct AA's deal with was given to, and is a response to a particular brand of European thought.

    I think he knows that to a certain disagree, I think his main argument is that people in Africa at one time all looked “Black”.
    Certainly I think that is the pretext, but often times I see the dislike of the comparison, not from cultural misrepresentation, but from the dislike of the opposite culture.


    How is that, do you have a link to explain that?

    Can you answer this question Flaming?

    If true, and the kid is not albino, this birth certainly fits with this explanation..

    isn't that regarded as of African descent?

    look up the history of the word, where the word came from and what part of the continent was actually called by that name first before they started to use the word to refer to the whole continent.
