But did your cabeed donor just came back from 6 months in Somalia??

People's skin tone change in semi-desert conditions, especially after 6 months.
Lmao I've been on long tropical vacations with him before and he's never been as dark as you. Plus he's full Sudanese and you're only half African so this is pretty pointless.

Somalis are definetly the second darkest in the world after the Dinka, from Djibouti to Berbera to Bosaso to Mogadishu to Kismayo.

I hate it how Somalis act like they're light skin. If y'all were light skin, you wouldn't be the biggest per-capita abusers of Diana products.
That makes no sense. We are talking averages here.
If anything it would make sense if we were lighter skinned on average by your logic, that would mean the darker skinned ones would be considered abnormal and unattractive and would be even more pressured to use Diana products. It's not much of an argument to say "Well you wouldn't be using skin lightening creams if you were all light skinned". No-one is arguing that.

Quintessentially negroid: Your problem?
Please be realistic and realise 100% of somalia is not half arab like you
Sudanese are the lightest as @Loriox said

That is a fallacy. I'm not "light-skinned", I'm medium caramel colour or maybe average Ethiopian or Sudan skin (using your analogy). But I have only met 2 Sudanese lighter than me and no Ethiopians.

There is a difference: 1. Sudan and Ethiopia have larger populations than Somalia, have higher Arab admixtures and have a culture of propagating light skin. I would find it hard to believe that many actors/actresses in those countries are light skinned.

Whereas in Somalia a climate of social incoherentness caused by anarchy (not including our smaller population and non-Arab admixture) has put Somalis in position where skin colour is really irrelevant. When you have a drought and a negligible government is having a light skinned tv presenter really the most of your worries.

In all they're mainly arabs and have a larger population. We have more lighter skinned people as a percentage, also due to their longstanding social hierarchies it is possible that those rich enough to leave the country (mind you Ethiopians and Sudanese are economic migrants) are the light-skinned ones who are the social apex of the pyramid based on their skin colour among other things.

Thats why i mentioned ethnicity first page
Not just countries, ethnicities
And by sudanese i mean sudanese arabs, not ones with nilotic mixture even though most of the light ones have too
Or maybe sudan should not be included in this thread for sub sahara africa

Darkest- South Sudanese, other groups have your mix of light, dark and medium skinned people, but they the only ones that are all dark
Lightest- Khoisan, Igbo nigerians, Eritreans, reer xamar people
