If you accept the fact that at some point way back in time all humans were Black (a fact that is widely accepted) then those Black humans must have at some point become lighter (unless you think white people are from space) without being mixed with white since there were no white people to mix with.

If that is true, isn't it also possible that there can be lighter and darker shades of brown people that don't have european ancenstry?

I'm just wondering. I see so many posts about "illegal aliens" and "legal immigrants." What would you call the people in my question legal or illegal? Did the Indians invite them or did they invade? Do you feel that happened way back them and it don't matter? What about the African people that came in chains on slave ships or the "Free Black " indentured servants that did not have a choice? Malcolm X said, "We didn't land on Plymouth Rock! Plymouth Rock landed on us." However, I believe he was saying that Plymouth Rock landed on America's First Nation People. Do you agree?

I've heard so many people ask questions and comment about prayer and religion in schools but I have not heard anyone mention the untruths that our children are being taught in school such as Christopher Columbus discovered America. Eveyone knows that the only thing that he discovered was that America was ihabited by Indigenous People. If I remember right, kids are taught to believe that Columbus discoverd a brand new, deserted island that was free for the taking and he claimed it for the Queen. At least that was what I was told in school, until I came home with my homework and my mom told me the true story. I feel that the true story should be taught in school. Is it?

Read the link above to get what i mean
I have seen this and i hear it at work all the time. Girl he won't even help with my rent so i left him. Why does he need to pay your rent or your bills. You are not married

i am not talking about men who live at home or with their girlfriend. I am talking about he has his apartment and she has hers. When some women get with men they feel after a certain amount of time he should help pay her bills that is crazy her bills are no more now that they are together. She needs to pay for herself untill they move in together or get married and if they have a kid his resposibility is to support the child not the mother

I'm extremely envious of those that are Persian. I think that culture is beautiful and the music is out of this world. Why can't I be Iranian? My race is boring. Afro-Hebrew, German, Carib Indian, Chinese... YAWN.

I have seen so many questions about interracial dating and white women are saying black women are jealous that black men find them attractive. Black women are saying the same about white women and white men. These people assume a whole race of people have a problem with interracial dating. They assume if a person looks at them its because they are an interracial couple. This is crazy. I have dated interracially and I have never had someone scream out obscenities or racially hurtful things to us, nor have I had people eyeballing us to the point of uncomfortable feelings. I have dated white, black, asian, hispanic and have NEVER gotten an uncomfortable response and I am a dark toned black woman...

Maybe its your attitudes about dating other races that make people not like you or say stupid things to you. I mean if you say you're better because they chose someone in your race..maybe that's what makes them hate you and not the interracial aspect in itself.

What do you think?

I enjoy sitting outside and watching nature. I don't watch televison that much and I've enjoyed Yahoo Q&A for a few days because I like hearing what other people have to say. True Short Story: I love to collect artifacts such as grinding stones and arrowtips, so I went to a large freshly plowed field alone and it was located way back in the woods. I heard all sorts of birds and animals sounds and I smelled the musty order of a bear. Suddenly, it became extremely cloudy and the whole area became silent. Well, I didn't pay attention to the silence and the next thing I know, I saw lightening, heard thunder, and the wind almost blew me away, a tornado was upon me and I didn't have anyplace to run. From that day to this, I have learned how to pay attention and listen to the animals especially when nature becomes silent.

Muslims are a religious group, not a racial group.Saying it's racist to hate Muslims is like saying it's racist to hate gay people, fat people, short people, blind people, or deaf people.None of those groups of people are racial groups just like Muslims aren't a racial group.Yet it's okay for everyone to hate White people, even though they are a racial group.

Almost every Indian person I have met in th US is a racist against black people, is it because our skin complexations are the closest in relation to other racist? Are the mad because they cant treat us like the untouchables in their own country ?

I am in the service business and I have to enter plenty of homes that are disgusting with animal odors and filth. I surely would not live in those conditions. I guess they don't even notice it or care. What is wrong with people?

My great-grandmother was a full-blooded Navajo. I look like a Navajo and have talked with scores of Indians. I used to live in Tahleguah, OK, where the seat of the Cherokee gov't is. I also lived in Missoula, MT.
Almost to a person, Indians have told me that they HATE 'Native American'. It is a PC name applied to them by white people. They especially don't like 'American' as a noun. As a geographical adjective, 'American Indian', they don't mind. So why all the PC stuff from everyone? They've been Indians since the whites got here. They prefer 'Indian'. Why don't you call them Indians?
