ALL these CREATED coloured Caucasoid Sub- species races are NOT Black African, their Recessive caucasoid, '' Mutational Evolution'', from White caucasoid to coloured caucasoid, so- called Somalis/ Ethiopians/ Arabs/ Egyptians ,and so on, are Coloured Caucasoids, which means their Recessive Coloureds, they will eventually devolve back to white caucasoid.

@farabale01 not all....

@july95211 That's a bunch of nonsense. The world doesn't operate on your stereotype of what a black African should look like. If you want to play that game we can easily re-classify multiple European nationalities as non-white or white blacks.

@Wanjiku94 This is silly. It's not something that anyone cannot easily confirm. Ubah is several shades darker than the typical light-skinned Nigerian (some of whom are almost white). Her complexion is roughly the same shade of brown as mine, maybe slightly darker, and I'm definitely not light-skinned. Sometimes flash photography makes me appear light-skinned, and the same phenomenon happened with her in some of her photos.

I'm not trying to say that light skin is better. Just stating facts.

@sethaus75 I did not say that every African woman is dark skinned, I only said that Ubah is not as dark, simple. I do not see why East and West Africa argues on this issue

@july95211 They have already reached equilibrium...no more evolving are going to take place.

[dazzling5909]

@july95211 They don't even look white

[dazzling5909]

@july95211 They ARE black

[sethaus75]

@Wanjiku94 Not as dark as other Africans? There are Nigerians who are much lighter than her. Nigerians can also exhibit similar features. In fact if she told me she was a Nigerian I wouldn't question it.
