Honestly - is there such thing as pure black people (without any admixtures), just like is known with whitePPL

Question

I just want to find out.

Any scholars out there or decent minded people.

No racists or supremacists here who just want to make a quick racist comment and be then be pleased that I wouldn't know who you are.

Sorry for the upcomming controversy.

Answer 1

I read some years ago that about 5% of black people (born in America), have completely African derived genes. The source was a reliable one but it's been a long time, and i do not remember whih one.

The original people on earth were brown people. As polar ice melted, some moved farther north. However, those who lived in North temperate regions who have had more than 7 genetic mixes, they faded and lost their melanin--we call those people today--white people. Those brown people who migrated southwards and stayed in the sun-baked conditions, they became what we call black people. White is not an original colour. You get white as a result of change or loss of pigmentation. A perfect example is the Ancient hebrews that were enslaved in Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Germany and Russia. Those ended up melanin-deficient but they still retained their Hamitic noses, ears and coarse hair. Those that stayed around the desert regions maintained their dark complexion. According to the Book of esther, from India to Ethiopia--120 provinces consisted of ancient Hebrews. That is why so many Indians and Ethiopians look so much alike--at one time they had the same fore-parents. It is possible that people could have inhabited the Sahara regions and interbred there for centuries and not have been part of any other species. For instance the Ab-original peoples could have had very little genetic changes. That cannot be said of any of the so-called white peoples. All white people have had at least 7 genetic mixes and ended up white. If the criterion for being white was living in cold countries alone, the Eskimo should have been Lilly white, but the Inuit and Eskimo still have residual melanin because they have had only three or so genetic movements.

Recently there was an excellent PBS program on about tracing the ancestry of Black people. It was a really nice program, and maybe if you looked it up you'd get some direction as to where to go next to find the answer to your question. It was very moving as well.

The people on that program were surprised to learn how "heavily other" their backgrounds were as far as ethnicity goes. Isn't it kind of nice, though, to think about how - Black, White or Other - whatever we are we all share some DNA and just aren't as separated as some see us?

My own belief is that we are as pure as the culture we grew up in, as pure as our hearts and minds and souls are, as pure as how we feel and as pure as what we see when we look in the mirror goes. It is said that our own DNA is only about 30% responsible for what we are anyway. When you factor in that our DNA has been "watered down" a "zillion" times over generations; how little must it really mater as far as what we are goes? If you measure "pure" by the things that matter more rather than just by DNA then it is clear the world is full of "pure" Black, White and Whatever people...

My ancestry includes three or four nationalities, and my kids' father's does too. Then I have one adopted child of a different ethnicity. When it came to giving my children an "ethnic identity" I had no choice but to tell them they are melting pot children - American Melting Pot Children. To me, that's such a nice thing it just kind of makes whether there's "pure" or not not very important at all.

No, there are no pure black people, as there are no pure white people. The pure white blonde is of scandinavian decent, or "viking". But there are many variations of white people, ginger, brown hair, and so forth. Thier are aisians, chinese, and mediteranians, all with various skin tones. Possibly, the blackest of black peoples, are the aborigional people of Australia. Many black peoples genes have been found to come from europe, when the continents were joined. Certainly the black people of jamaica were taken there, as a drop off point, by slave traders. thier black tradition, is what they have made, there, as a people.
Africa contains many shades of skin colour, and tribal (old fashioned word in todays world) differences still exist, the so called black people being as racist against each other as we percieve colour racism. There lies the meaning of racism, different tribes, beliefs, customs, ways, not just colour. With englands colorful past, i cannot count myself as english, having had so many different raiders..am i roman, celtic, viking? or a white mix of inter marriges, over centuries. Funnily enogh, in terms of essence,i feel i am more black, as the stereo type of white men cant jump, i feel goes beyond colour, to the other genes past on in a race, (i can jump in the meaning its meant) and according to my gym stats, have the body system of a black person, ie better at sprinting than marathon, muscles very qiuck to recover, and genetic traits youd ascociate with a black person. So colour really is only superficial, its who you are inside, and where you choose to put your roots down, and what you make of them. Historically, were a mishmash, for sure.

Answer 5

i read in the paper two years ago that scientists had proven that we all were descended from the same great great great etc. grandmother about 150,000 to 200,000 years ago. living in diferent climes with different diets has caused the differences we see today. as it is unlikely she simply just appeared out of thin air, she must have come from somewhere. the one grandmother concept supports my theory that humans colonized earth (after mars) after traveling here from the center of the milky way due to the danger of hard radiation there from all the suns, yet here on this volatile planet, we lost our space drive and have been looking to the heavens ever since for rescue while leaving our various s.o.s. devices all around the planet (pyramids, stonehenge, easter island statues, inca rock patterns, etc.) we spread across the earth and have been here since. there may be other advanced races out there that survived also, and have dropped in from time to time to see if we have become advanced enough to chat with. heh heh....there's a lot more including what may happen if we continue in the trend of rejoining as a race...and erase the changes wrought over time from separation, different clime and diet. i believe we really are all related, and the scientists say it's true. one grandmother we could all trace back to.....now THAT ought to stir the pot.

Answer 6

Well...it's kind of a moot point, don't you think?

Since all human ancestry traces back to Africa, there is no such thing as a "pure" race. We're all just differently pigmented versions of the same species.

Granted, MY pigmentation difference causes me to glow in the dark like a nightlight...my grandmother liked to call it "fish belly Irish white"...but that's an inconvenience I've learned to live with.

Answer 7

Here are not pure race, here only one race, humans. Take this for example, at Reader's Digest I read this article where some doctor were studying a rare heart condition, they found it was inheritable. So they started to investigate the family lines and they found indians, black people, withe people, etc, all interconnected. So today will be rare a pure human branch.

Answer 8

Well Gary,the way I see it, there must be a lot of black people in Africa with no white, Asian, or Indian ancestry. There are probably very few African Americans without some white ancestry, but there have to be some. Does that sort of answer your question?

Answer 9

I know what you are asking. I don't think there are too many people that are "pure blood" , the ethnic groups have definately mixed together. I do think that in another few hundred years, there will be one race, rather than several. Maybe it will be easier to get along and work together. Maybe mankind will realize that there was one race all along, the human race. Thanks for an interesting question.

Answer 10

I' am sure you have them, but most of us have some mix even if we are of dark complexion or light in most cases we have some mix down the line... frig I'm mixed up myself.
