If a Black person has a keen straight nose and thin lips does that mean that they aren't pure Black?

Question

Most Africans are see have flat noses and big lips, most African Americans do as well. But I saw a real DARK Black woman with a sharp nose and average size lips and she was actually pretty was she mixed?

Answer 1

.

Your description of both groups is completely erroneous.

Both groups contain a wide-variety of diverse
facial features ranging across a wide-spectrum.

Despite the fact that the two (2) groups
do *not*share the exact same facial
features, neither of these groups have
any one (1) particular set of facial features.

In addition, the ignorance demonstrated in your false
-- and rather desperate -- statements (presented in
the form of a "question") only serve to prove that many
of the people found in our society really needs to try
to begin to understand that the 'African-American'
(AA) 'Ethnic' group is *not* the same group as
the ’Black American' (BA) 'Race' group -- that the
two (2) terms are *not* synonymous and that the
two (2) terms should *not* be used inter-changeably.

We are *not* speaking of ‘semantics’ here – but rather
– the BAs & AAs are two (2) different groups of people.

The AAs are the (largely Mixed-Race) ETHNIC group.

The BAs are the (Mono-Raced) RACE group.

As confusing as it seems -- the U.S. government
[due to racism & wanting to stigmatize the part
of their lineage that was from Africa which, by
the way, is only one (1) part of their lineage] ---

has labeled those individuals who are the known
"descendents of the survivors" of the system of
chattel-slavery found in the USA as being AAs
(the hyphen is used in reference to acknowledging
the fact that most of them are Mixed-Race,
with African & non-African blood lines)

AND

has labeled those people who are "volitional immigrants"
who are directly from places such as the continent of
Africa, the West Indies, etc. -- as being BAs
(with the word 'Black' used in reference to acknowledging
the fact that they are of a Mono-racial full-Black lineage).

In addition, it should also be remembered that – although
some AAs adhere to a socio-political ‘identity’ that is
often described by the slang term of “black”—the AAs
are actually *not* a "Race" group at all -- but rather
they *are* a largely Mixed-Race 'Ethnic' group
(and the socio-political ‘identity’ that a person chooses
*does not* change their racially-mixed ancestral lineage).

Most (+70%) of the people born to two (2) parents who
are of the AA ‘Ethnic’ group are of a ‘Multi-Generational
Multi-Racially ‘Mixed’ (MGM) lineage – while the people
born to two (2) parents who are of the BA ‘Racial’ group –
on the other hand – are of a Mono-Racially ‘Black’ lineage.

There is a big difference between a largely Multi-racial
'Ethnic' group and between a Mono-racial 'Race group.

In addition, there is also a big difference between
one's socio-political 'identity' (ex. "black") and
one's ancestral racial 'lineage' (ex. 'Mixed').

Just because a person adheres to a given
socio-political 'identity' does *not* change
the composition of their ancestral 'lineage'.

Also -- the 'One-Drop' Rule (the false teaching that
'any amount' of Black ancestral lineage make a
person "full black") is nothing more than pure-racism.

The racist 'One-Drop Rule' (used only by the United
States government, by the way) was created during
the antebellum, chattel-slavery era by White racial
supremacist in order to get people to believe the false
racist myth that the so-called White "race" was "pure"
and to falsely view the Black "racial" admixture
(even the slightest amount) within someone's
ancestral lineage as being "tainted".

To embrace the 'One-Drop Rule' is the equivalent of BOTH
embracing "racism" and embracing the false teaching
that a Mixed-Race person's Black lineage is "tainted".

My advice is that a non-Racist should *not* embrace
the concept of the 'One-Drop Rule' -- as "Black blood"
is *not* "tainted" -- and should never be perceived
or embraced as being so (not even in the
name of so-called "pride" and "unity").

In addition, legally-speaking, attempted forcible
application of the racist 'One-Drop Rule' -- against
any individual or group -- was made illegal and ruled
as unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court
in 1967 via the case of 'Loving vs. The State of Virginia'.

Through the 'Loving vs. Virginia' case, the U.S.
Supreme Court, ruled against both all of the laws
banning Interracial marriage -- and -- also ruled
that any so-called law which forcibly applied the
'One Drop Rule' -- was racist, discriminatory,
illegal, unconstitutional, and non-enforcible.

------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------

--- Dr. Luigi Caveli-Sforza, who is the Executive
Director of the Human Genome Project and the
world's foremost authority on human genetics
has both tested and proven that more that 70%
of all AAs have a full ancestral lineage which
consists of +20-30% White / European and
more than +25% Amerindian bloodlines.

--- That means that the 'average' (+70%) person
born to two (2) parents who are both members
of the AA Ethnic group actually has slightly
less than 50% Black / African blood lineage
found in his or her full-ancestral lineage.

--------------------------- ADDED NOTE ---------------------

It should also be noted that -- contrary to popular belief and
myth spread among many groups who are not educated or
informed on the whole topic -- it was not the group that is
currently being referred to as being the African-Americans
(AAs) -- who chose this term for them -- but rather --
like so many of the other terms used to describe
them -- this term was also implemented by
the United States federal government
(starting with the 1990 United
States 'Census Bureau' Forms).

If a person insists on spreading the 'myth' that it was the
AAs who chose this term for themselves -- it is clearly
indicative of the fact that they have never even once
actually studied the entire topic and are simply basing
their comments on assumption-based ignorance --
rather than objective facts and empirical evidence.

Answer 2

Dark Black Person

Answer 3

this question isn't erroneous. how can a question be wrong, it's just a dame question, sheesh & it's an interesting one. That dark skin girl you saw may have white ancestry because white people on average tend to have pointed noses/ small or medium sized lips. she should get an dna ancestry test. in fact, everyone should take it so that they can know their ancestors and their heritage

Answer 4

This is so typical. It's o.k. to be attracted to a black woman. You don't have to justify your attraction to a black woman by dissecting her ancestry in order to appease your inner conflict. Beautiful women come in all races and shades. My older sister is very beautiful, very dark skinned, has a thin nose, average sized lips, and curly hair, we are no more mixed than any other average American Black family. Anyone can dissect their genectis and find another race in their ancestry, including you.

Answer 5

Not necessarily...have you ever been throughout Africa? Trust me we don't all have the same features. I'm fully Ugandan and I don't have flat nose there are variations of features in Africa. Africa is a continent not a country so why would we all look the same? Look at Iman, Liya Kebede, Agbani Darego, kiara Kabukuru they are East, West and Central africans and they don't have flat noses and big lips.

Answer 6

She probably was mixed, but she might not be. She may have other physical clues to tell you if she was mixed that you didnt notice. I'm guessing ur not black, so you probably wont be able to tell as well as a black person can. If you want to know more about her, just get friendly with her and ask.

Answer 7

A lot of Africans look that way. People need to realize that they look many different ways just as whites do. When I see a white person with a wide nose and bigger lips, should I think he/she is black?

Answer 8

WTH!!! i'm BLACK AND MY epidermis isn't mild MY nostril isn't POINTY MY LIPS ARE MEDIUM. i think of it fairly is MONKEYSHIA/KEITH! Sir Threean close up it is by technique of the fact Obama seems BLACK you dumbass reckneck. i'm BLACK recover from it.

Answer 9

No...most east africans don't have flat noses and large lips and no they are not mixed. But who said that those features automatically make someone ugly? There are beautiful people around the world, including Africa.

Answer 10

"was actually pretty" ??? I'll just ;leave that alone
I have a friend from Uganda she's very dark has average sized lips...and a petite nose... is she mixed... no

Answer 11

Every black person isn't the same, we come in all shapes and sizes, shades etc.
