How long until Obama is "not black"?

I understand what you're sayin', but there are people that will disagree with that statement. Folks that you are talking about, actually. Matter of fact, there are people that are 100% black that will disagree with being referred to as a....
So do all black folks speak for each other? Do white folks all speak for each other? No, and no. It's just like if a white dude said, "You might be Italian, but you're still a cracker". Na, I'd tell him to fuck himself.

If black blood is dominant, and the first humans were in fact Black...why isn't everybody black? For all you know, the first person could have been pale and black skin could have come along later down the line as an adaptation to the heat. OR, people could have become more pale as they moved north. Either way, nobody knows. The first person could have been orange for all you know.
As a white person, I know that when my skin is exposed to the sun long enough, I get freckles or moles. So how do you know that same thing didn't just keep happening until people were dark?
I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just trying to get you to use your mind on more than one track.

sydal, although you made a point about a technological advancement (airplanes) that was birthed like.....eon's later.....
if you dont understand why people look different you need to hit community college up, if you went, go back.
thats like us arguing about fucking mechagodzilla or some shit..poison pen was right to stop before he even decided to argue and review you...lmao
u cool and all but....wow

My point was, the two continents of Africa and Europe are not far apart, no matter how you look at it. Plane or boat, or raft...definitely a shorter distance than say, Europe to Brazil. Hell, it's even shorter than the Bay to Las Vegas...no matter how you get there.
I do understand why people look different...I never said I didn't. For one, people evolve...depending on where they live, how long they live there, surroundings, intake, etc. etc. That's a no brainer.
The question was posted because a claim was made, and I want to know if there is actual proof to such a claim. That's like saying all Italians and Mexicans are dark people (which just isn't true). See what I'm sayin'? Hell, all Africans aren't even that dark. Depends on what part of Africa they come from...where they're family came from...etc. etc.
My question is...How do you know Africans have always been dark? How do you know Europeans have always been white? I'm not saying dude is right or wrong...I'm just asking what proof he has to back his claim.
Becoming darker to adapt is scientific...becoming lighter as you move north is also scientific.

I didn't ask you to educate me. I mean, it's a known fact that, according to ancient writings, there was a difference between Egyptians and Ethiopians...as far as physical appearance and skin tone. During THAT time, they were obviously more like each other than the Greeks...but again comes the question of how the first people evolved. That's a legit question that hasn't been answered by writing or pictures.
Are you privy to information that the rest of the world isn't? Do you know FOR SURE how the evolution of humans took place? Do you know somebody that witnessed it? Don't tell me facial structures either, because those have changed through time and I know some white people with "black" features, and vice versa.

well i didn't say you asked me to educate you, i'm just saying that you asked someone for proof about their 'opinion' on something i don't think (or know, depending on how literal you want to be) is an opinion in the first place, which is the reason the O.P. dismissed you in the first place as ignorant.
and i dont want to argue with you, even if i can completely tear your argument up, I have to be real with you, i'd rather continue smoking weed and drinking in peace then worrying about this particular subject on a holiday...or i mean...id just go to fuckin work and get paid for this type for shit...yknow

Yea I feel you. I just don't think my QUESTIONING was ignorant. I'm not stating anything as fact, I'm just being objective...which is fine, right? I mean, saying everybody evolved from one area because one person was found there is ignorant. Did we all evolve from one person? I doubt it. Saying black blood is dominant is like saying Tiger blood is dominant. Did domestic cats, lions, tigers, etc. all come from one cat? MAYBE! Can we prove it? No, we can't. We might be able to find one genetic similarity, but that doesn't mean we all ORIGINATED in the same place.
For all we know, "interracial sex" may have happened back then. Some of us resemble the first homo sapiens, some of us resemble Neanderthals...and now they think early humans and Neanderthals crossed paths and maybe fucked at some point. That puts a big twist on the original theories, doesn't it?
Not only that, but another theory is that the haired primate ancestors of humans, like modern great apes, had light skin under their hair. When Hominids evolved relative hairlessness (the most likely function of which was to facilitate perspiration), they evolved dark skin. Another very good theory.
