Proximity to whiteness

“If we weren’t so black we’d be colourist too”

Is this some kind of sick joke or are you being deadass rn?

he ain't tell a lie

Well if we had Big Broad Noses we’d be featurist or if we had Pale Pale skin we’d want to tan, you see how silly that sounds. Makes no sense.

Dark Skin was seen as an Honour in Somali Society which is reflected in the poetry of Somaliweyn, convinced some of you guys just love feeding into the distorted and absolutely incorrect view of Somalis.

What is so appealing about depicting yourself as a victim when you come from honourable people?

Disgusting.

Genetically, the Indian castes have been maintained for 3000 years. These people did not suddenly appropriate that with the colonialists. That is a new revisionism. These people have fixed into castes and have stayed largely the same for 3 millennia! That is what the genetics say.

Colonialists took and appropriated the pre-existing social and cultural stratification of caste to effectively control the society, dealing with the elites of the land, bureaucratizing high-caste based manegerial positions mirroring the social elitism of the past, as these Brahminic engaments was very much of exalting the higher castes, so that biased diffused into the colonial system.


David Reich, in his book, writes that the Indian caste system is perhaps the most stable human hierarchical system in history. The endogamy was very strong, where castes only married within their castes. This meant that social architecture was enduring. If castes rose and descended in social class, then we would see a completely different genetic pattern, which means this notion of social mobility is extremely overblown, telling us caste isolation was the prevailing status among and between these groups. It happened in rare cases, but in ways that never broke the broader genetic fixture.

Also, to reiterate what I said, high caste groups have higher ANI ancestry, which stands for Ancestral North Indian parental mixture. This group mixture occurred along stratifcational grounds, not randomly. High castes have more ANI and lower castes have higher ASI, Ancestral South Indian.

Gotta make them understand another way.
