    I think there was a missed opportunity by not having a Black American or Caribbean Black or even Latina female indicate which skin tone was preferred because it's much more complex due to European influence.

    It’s true what she said about Ethiopian for men it’s preferable brown skin seen as manly but for females lighter skin is fine. But Ethiopian marry whites there’s no problem at all society doesn’t see it anything bad they’re loved and respected.

    This guy is so problematic. He thinks he can just look at Jada and assume she has the same ancestry as the woman from Ghana. He failed to mention that African Americans' slave ancestors came from multiple African countries and were mixed together so that girl probably has a very mixed background.
    He makes overly general statements. When he brings people up, he already has a narrative he tries to force on others. Also, he brought Lester up and was shocked that he looked Latino and said he would have never guessed it. What kind of "sociologist" says this? As the girl had said, people from any country will vary in appearance.

      @AbeTee Před 3 lety +2

      I’m black and you’re both wrong. He mentions slaves came from multiple parts of Africa in the last lecture. Go and watch. He also says she “probably” shares the same ancestry because Jada being African American is obviously an indication that her ancestry is African.
      He is saying that there’s a possibility, most likely. Not that it is a fact.

    Ummmm the part where you show the different types of ppl on the continent of Africa. Yeah some of them are Arab colonizers. Like the lil girl in the red, looks like she's lives in Maracco, her ancestors came by way of Arab colonization and slavery. The older man bottom middle, same arab colonization and slavery. So its kinda unfair to group arabs in the indigenous African people's and say look, they are African too. Especially when the history and ancestry says something different. Its a whole thing about the continent of Africa, but okay.

    This is so sad to watch; I'm sorry but too many African Americans are so ignorant about anything African, I understand why I guess but geeesh, the Colombian guy at least guessed Africa, she couldn't even guess the continent...really?? Or that her ancestry at least would be coming from West Africa, wow...do sad.
