Africa still produces black people because some people never left Africa. Everywhere people went in the world some people always stayed behind. Thats why we have such diversity. Some people would stay, some would move on and change.

@3877michael I see your point. Thank you. Hotep.

@josephortizgarcia Why are you crying? We gave you plastic. We gave you guns and government. We took you into our colonialism bosom. All we asked for was your couture and religion. And the best thing we gave was massive debt. We gave you ADIS and the medicine for it at a small price. Some people are never satisfied. We give and give and all we get is resentment ! We even stay out of your wars. We know how you people like wars.

@Danyulel Agreed and well stated!

[Danyulel]

@blueiguy1 I didn't want to go that deep, but since you brought it up I agree with you. The Sun surely does produce Black people or people of Color, and it just so happens that where the Sun's energy/heat is concentrated the most, is where you fine the darkest wooly haired people. What you call Africa is where the majority of those people are. If we all lived in the place that is conducive to our genetic makeup, I don't see Caucasian people living or originating in SUN-land without SUN-block.

@Danyulel Africa does not produce black people ,the sun does. Africans are the most diverse group of people on the planet,but if we look at skin color alone we won't get very far. Imagine if people had clear skin and the sun didn't matter we would all look the same if history did the same thing. Now add skin and sunlight and you've got ethnic groups!

[Danyulel]

@kakaksiah Exactly, it was natural for hue-man beings to relate to one another. We have proof of this as there was trading and boring from one another's culture throughout the ancient world. All people of color have the same story. They all lived in peace cultivating their culture on the planet until they let the White man come amongst them. This is when they all say their culture came to an end. Go to Honolulu, Hawaii at the Polynesian Culture Center hear what our Pacific family has to say.

Notice how the White lady in the red shirt said "We all Are" when the man in the striped shirt said "I'm African". I sat in on several lectures given by Geneticists about this topic and it is interesting how now they focus on ALL being African now. However, what I also noticed was they say African because "We humans migrated from Africa, but they will not say "Black Humans" migrated from African and populated the world. If Africa is the origin then why is Africa still producing Black people?

@MrSivram28 Not by choice though. The worse thing Africans ever did was leaving Africa too early. If we had left after we built Nubia and Egypt our life would have been great. Imagine a world of no white/Arab neanderthals. There would be no racism, just a world of only black people. What a great world it would have been. Instead we're living in a world with white neanderthal genocidal maniacs, completely overpopulated(India/China) with starving people all over. Like I said, not by choice.
