Sorry, I didn't see the poll! :P

[Sillaycheg]

None of them...

[b7RKli4l]

No in Turkey we call them as Arabs, they are not siyah/zenci = black .

You should have an option saying none

[kictainiSot]

the somali-kenyan and Ethiopian-yemeni look less mixed than the rest

the Moroccan one would be just seen as a Moroccan or a moor in most of Europe,in America the same althought at first glance people would assume him to be hispanic


he doesn't look Afram at all

[Clunlippibe]

Only Binalshib maybe.

[suiviouse]

OP, you already know what the answers are going to be.

Im from the DC area and NONE of the Ethiopian pictures looks like the average member of their community.

The first picture would be considered Black, not the "average" which makes sense, but black nonetheless. Most New World Blacks understand that Black peoples from Africa are diverse.

[heennaRaf]

None of them...

But Abdullahi Yusuf is quite darker than the average Afram.

[kranfid]

We're not Black so we woudn't know! So, technically this thread's intention was to make fools of us. . . . . . . .

[Gometesstem]

Svartinger!

[MicoSiru]

the somali-kenyan and Ethiopian-yemeni look less mixed than the rest

But Badr Hari shows minor negroid influence. He looks more mixed than the others.

[TaliaJack]

Pretty pointless thread, none of those examples look like the average new world/western blacks.

[stunnyravytal]

But Abdullahi Yusuf is quite darker than the average Afram.

Sorry to tell you, but most Ethiopians/horn of Africans in the US call themselves Black. Black =/= West African descent only. We know people like you dont like being in the "black" category because you have been taught to see it as inferior. You want posters to gush and be like "Oh no! How could they possibly be black! They are not black!"

All these labels drive people crazy.

[Feloascarlelt]

Sorry to tell you, but most Ethiopians/horn of Africans in the US call themselves Black.

It's the same in Europe.

[barsikjal]

But Badr Hari shows minor negroid influence. He looks more mixed than the others.

he shows 30% or a bit less of negroid but he falls into the Northern african diversity and people will not consider him black but Moroccan or a "moro" in Spain

he is also very ambigous in pics,in some pics he looks less mixed

[JessiPollo]

You want posters to gush and be like "Oh no! How could they possibly be black! They are not black!"

.

Thats your opinion. I don't believe in any blackness.

[rozalinasi]

Thats your opinion. I don't believe in any blackness.

And thats perfectly fine.

[kasandrasikl]

he shows 30% or a bit less of negroid but he falls into the Northern african diversity and people will not consider him black but Moroccan or a "moro" in Spain

I know but the question goes in fact to all afrocentrist people(NewWorldBlacks) who even call Mariah Carey black. I think in the Afram-Communtiy, they would seen Bard Hari as Black guy.

[MightyMasc]

well the ODR is an American law and isn't applied to the old world because admixture took place long beafore the existence of such law and all the important civilization never considered those people black even when they were already mixed...
I don't care If Mariah is considered black she's after all a new world woman and she has recent african american ancestry so that law applies to her as a new world American citizen

[BJEugene]

Badr Hari doesn't look mixed at all. Not more than the average Morrocan anyway.
