I wish they would make a Black American thread on topix. I feel out of place, everyone here knows exactly how much African is in thier blood and exactly what part of Africa they are from. How do you get this test, and is it expensive?

You understand Spanish well. You know that the word mullata means mule.. and an mule is a animal, how can you agree with that?
Oh yeah, I'm from the Carib/ Lati aswell.

Not necessarily, but it’s something to think about, since so many do say it.
I met this rican sis a while ago, she called here self mullata also and I told her. I'm not going to call you by that name, because you’re not an animal, you are hue-man!
She also knows the differences between the words nergo and Moreno.
By the she is a very smart Multilanguage speaker.

i really don't care.
black is also not too accurate as i'm not BLACK like the colour black.
mulatta, criolla, mestiza, black, hispanic are all man's attempt at quantification.
it's human nature to take scarcely digestible things and make them easier to swallow or easier to make sense of.
of course i know what mulatto means.
and of course i see where you're attempting to go with this.
the whole 'so if you're willing to call yourself a mule' then what else will you allow to be foisted upon you.. sorta thing.
but in reality, people make up names for words in order to better understand them.
it's called language.
if i say *jew* you probably know (roughly) what i mean.
but am i talking about ethnic jews or converted jews?
am i talked about khazars or.....?

do you take offense to morena/o?

That is why I dropped the Kemet question and about the Moor.
You say it depends on how one interpret the word?
Well, Negro is a dead black object and Moreno is a living black object, am I right? Why is there a difference? Why was it changed in the first place and by who?
For the jew thing we could elaborate on that, but I need to go to work. So quickly jews are indeed converts the Torah does not speak of jews but of Hebrews. But perhaps the confusion came with word Judah.

Well there are 3 versions.
1.) your right, a roman Emperor.
2) it derived from the Arabic word meaning to dived.
3.)(I forgot about this one, sorry ) maybe later it will get back at a later point.
But the name of that continent before the European conquest was known as THA-MA-RE.

Blessed is the seeker of knowledge. And now as a woman of ebony hue , I would gladly call myself after this THA-MA RE,, more than I would assume a white boys last name as my race.
