So, one group wants to remain as it was in the 'good ole days' and the other group wants to promote a better future. Well, I watched the film and it's informative, but as a Christian, I will add my observation; I wonder what the White Christians of the Republican Party and the Black Christians of the Democratic Party that vote think about what the Bible says about the future when Jesus Christ is prophesied to return and head up his government. I mean do they think that they will be going to the ballot box? Which government will they be voting for since the Christian government was done away with back in 1776 for the election?

A Short History of Hair Discrimination-- Bad Hair
Chevdove replied to Chevdove's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
The Comb Test Even after the abolishment of slavery, barriers to advancement like “The Comb Test" were used in the US to enforce the idea that Afro-textured hair was not socially acceptable. An organisation would hang a fine-tooth comb outside its door, indicating that if a visitor’s hair could not be easily combed, they were not welcome to enter. The Pencil Test During Apartheid, Black South Africans were forced to participate in "The Pencil Test" to see if they could hold a pencil in their hair while they shook their head. If the pencil dropped to the floor, the person would be classified as white. If the pencil remained in their hair, they were classified as Black, subjected to segregation, and forbidden from accessing the same privileges. While these tests faded out of use, hair discrimination did not. ***** Dolly Parton ***** On the Queen Latifah Show -- Dolly Parton, one of my favorite actresses is seen in this clip wearing a wig, and it is an afro wig!

OH! I finally saw where this arbitrary hair numbering system originates! A few years ago, I had commented that I did not think that system was accurate and now, I finally see. I just read that it comes from a man named Andre Walker, the hair dresser for Oprah Winfrey! He developed this system in 1997, and I earned my degree in Biology back in 1987 and therefore, based on my research, I thought that this numbering system was suspect! Andre Walker Because of the then-prevalent notion that straight wavy or curly hair (which, unlike kinky hair, is common in people of European origin) was more acceptable than kinky hair, many black people began exploring solutions for straightening, or relaxing, their tresses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinky_hair Andre Walker has caused confusion because his system is NOT scientifically accurate. In 1997, hairstylist Andre Walker created a numerical grading system for human hair types. [3] The Andre Walker Hair Typing System classifies kinky hair as 'type 4' (there are other types of hair, classifies kinky hair as 'type 4' (there are other types of hair, defined as type 1 for straight hair, type 2 for wavy, and type 3 for curly, with the letters A, B, and C used as indicators of the degree of coil variation in each type), with the subcategory of type 4C being most exemplary of the kinky hair.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinky_hair ***** A Hairstylist! ***** However, kinky hair is often difficult to categorize because of the many different variations among individuals. ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinky_hair -
A Short History of Hair Discrimination-- Bad Hair
Chevdove posted a topic in Culture, Race & Economy
A Short History of Hair Discrimination-- Bad Hair This thread is in reference to the Origins of African Hair and how this trait has become a confusion due to how it has been re-defined today. Today, scientist here in the western world have groups African hair type in the definition that includes 'hair that curls'. Historically, humans have reproduced and formed distinct cultures over the course of thousands of years. Some cultures have been defined based on a set(s) of common practices and also genetic traits that they share. Today, many people will express traits that can be seen in all humans. For example, when it comes to dominant traits that are expressed in Sub-Saharan Africans, such as thick lips, thick hips, rounded nose, and etc., you will see that these very traits can be seen in all human ethnic groups on a lesser percentage than what is seen in Sub-Saharan Africans. But however, there is one main trait that is exclusive to people of the indigenous African humans that no other ethnic groups of humans will express unless they also express other African traits that are connected and that would be the Nappy hair, or Afro hair--hair that locks. Colourism & Texturism During slavery there was a strict caste system that separated Black slaves by skin tone and hair texture. Lighter-skinned slaves with less kinky hair, typically due to nonconsensual sexual relations with slave-owners, received better treatment. This hierarchy of hair types was based on European standards of beauty, and fed into the creation of social structures based on skin tone (known as colourism) and hair texture (known as texturism) that continue to impact the lives of Black people throughout the diaspora today. https://halocollective.co.uk/halo-background/#:~:text=During slavery there was a,-owners%2C received better treatment. Kinky hair, also known as afro-textured hair, is a human hair texture prevalent in the indigenous populations of many regions with hot climates, mainly sub-Saharan Africa, some areas of Melanesia, and Australia. [1] Each strand of this hair type grows in a repeating pattern of small contiguous kinks (tight twists and sharp folds). These numerous kinks make kinky hair appear denser than straight, wavy, and curly hair types. [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinky_hair *The key phrase here is that kinky hair appears much denser than other hair types, revealing that kinky hair should NOT be defined with straight, wavy nor CURLY HAIR!!! That definition here in the western world of defining 'kinky hair' as being 'curly' is flawed. Kinky hair does not curl, rather it has a zig zag pattern and therefore this causes the strands to lock. For thousands of years, due to White Supremacy, the issue of African traits that are dominant in the indigenous world especially that of 'African hair' has been an extreme contention. For thousands of years, the White Supremacist has raped Africa and attempted to steal the identity of God's Creation of beauty. For thousands of years, African people have been deceived into the practice of White Supremacy. For thousands of years, due to rape, all dominant African traits have been re-defined as beauty traits only when these traits are expressed in non-African people. But the only African trait that cannot be separated and expressed in non-African cultures is the nappy hair, therefore, this trait became defined as being either curly hair or as a last resort; 'bad hair'. And this issue of the Original African hair being defined as 'bad hair' began in ancient times and was a major contention since the beginning of WS and Colorism. And this contention was dealt with early in time and captured in the ancient scriptures and all throughout the Bible: [9] Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. Dueteronomy 24:9. Miriam, the sister of Moses was struck with extreme leprosy and turned white as snow from her head to her foot for seven days. This was how the Creator dealt with Israel when the contention of Colorism was brought up byway of Miriam. Colorism and WS was a serious issue that led to the the downfall of the Egyptians at that time and that led to the Exodus. Fast forward though to more than a thousand years after the Exodus to a time when Jesus confronted the Jews on their issue with Colorism and their obsession with 'good hair'. [31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: ... [41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ... [46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. ST Matthew 24: 31-46. LOL. For those of you who do not recognize that Jesus picked a fight and told them a parable, I guess then, it is not for you to know. But nevertheless, it was an inside joke, so-to-speak. The watered down Jews were so angry when Jesus said this that they tried to throw him over a cliff. LOL. Since the beginning of the construction of the Tabernacle, those Jews knew that it was associated with 'the Ram's wool'. They knew this. Solomon and other prophets re-wrote this into their books too. Those Jews knew that their identity was connected to Africa. But nonetheless, this whole world has been poisoned by WS and Colorism. And the one human trait that the Creator linked firmly to eumelanin, that is black skin, that began with the origin of modern mankind, was the nappy hair. The one human trait that the indigenous Africans would express dominantly in their cultures would be nappy hair, not curly hair, but nappy hair. And therefore, because this is the one trait that cannot be isolated through reproduction to be expressed in non-African humans, it became defined, even in ancient times as hair that Abaddon [i.e. Magog] expressed; Bad Hair. [11] And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. [12] One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. REVELATION 9:11-12. Abaddon [i.e. A-BAD-don]: This would be why in the modern times, there came about a re-construction of humanity and Black African people became defined as being two-thirds human. The identity of modern mankind underwent a redefinition and Colorism and dominant African traits became a major component of how humans became defined but eventually, due to rape, the only trait today that still becomes a major contention is African hair type. -

I am going to put this definition in a separate thread: Kinky Hair Kinky hair, also known as afro-textured hair, is a human hair texture prevalent in the indigenous populations of many regions with hot climates, mainly sub-Saharan Africa, some areas of Melanesia, and Australia.[1] Each strand of this hair type grows in a repeating pattern of small contiguous kinks (tight twists and sharp folds). These numerous kinks make kinky hair appear denser than straight, wavy, and curly hair types.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinky_hair Okay @frankster Do you see where it says that this type of hair is most prevalent in indigenous populations of many regions with hot climates, mainly sub-Saharan Africa!? It also refers to the word phrase 'sharp folds'!? not curls. it also says that this type of hair is denser than straight, wavy and CURLY HAIR!? The Bible is redundant in regards to the original mankind. So, there are many scriptures. But i will give you just one general reference and that would be in association to the construction of the temple. The temple was constructed to address this main connection of the original mankind to 'the seal of the living God'. And I will give you another scripture and that would be when Jesus addressed the Jews on their obsession with Colorism. When he finished, they were so angry with what he said, they tried to kill him. Regarding the Celts with white skin, you have to realize the modern age reconstruction of 'race' and so, today, we are mis-educated to believe that the Celts are white. But you can compare South Africa to this mind conditioning and so, White South Africans are distinctly different for the indigenous South Africans. Like the Celts, they practice Colorism, so they became Separatist. So when you are thinking about todays Celts, you also can compare us here in America and in how we have become different kinds of Americans. There are African Americans, Black Americans, European Americans, Mexican Americans, etc. There was a time where they were differentiated and called 'British Celts', 'Irish Celts', 'Scottish Celts' and etc. But today, we think that Celts are White, but no, the ancient Celts were Black. -

How so? LOL @frankster Are you Black? Help me God. I tell you what, go look at the film with Levar Burton, starring Kunta Kinte, please. I am referencing that kind of hair. Chattel Slavery and slaves that were first brought over here to America and sold on the auction blocks did not look like your version of curly hair or whatever you mean by coily hair. Coil definition-- a round shape formed by a series of concentric circles (as formed by leaves or flower petals) synonyms:curl, curlicue, gyre, ringlet, roll, scroll, whorl ... a structure consisting of something wound in a continuous series of loops “a coil of rope”synonyms:helix, spiral, volute, whorl https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/coil#:~:text=A coil is a spiral,tends to form a coil. What is the meaning of coil in English? : to wind into rings or spirals. coil a rope. 2. : to roll or twist into a shape resembling a coil. coiled herself up on the couch.Aug 15, 2024 https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coil#:~:text=%3A to wind into rings or,herself up on the couch So, this is what the internet has posted in your word 'coil'. It seems to me to be similar to 'curl' and refers to different types of curls. Jesus Christ. @frankster You are not happy with my making a distinction between curly hair and nappy hair. That is your choice, but your pics do not show the type of nappy hair that many Negro people can express exclusively. When i said 'angles' I am referring to what i saw under a microscope. But yes, I did see the word 'zig zag' and that could be another way of defining nappy hair, hair that have angles. Zig zag type of hair will lock but not curly hair. Curly hair does not lock. That was the purpose of the Comb Test. Curly hair can be combed through but not nappy hair. In order for nappy hair to be manageable with a comb, certain types of oil must be used to 'soften' the hair from its zig zap process. Lanolin is one such oil that affects nappy hair, hair that locks. Curly hair does not need lanolin, but can use other types of oil. Nappy hair is exclusive and needs specific types of oil to manage. My interpretation of the Bible is not wrong but you just don't want to accept my references although I have presented them. The Bible uses the terms 'wool' and 'locks' and etc. when it comes to the Original hair type of mankind. It does not use the word 'curl'. Lamb's wool is NOT defined as being 'curly' The ancient Persian rugs were classified based on the degree of NAPS. -

LOL I was going to share this information, but thank you @Pioneer1. LOL @frankster! What 's wrong with you! Those pictures do not show nappy hair. please help me God. lol. The late artist you show, indeed permed his hair, but even then, his hair is not nappy. Chinese people, Medes, Armenians, Europeans, etc. yes, all have origins from one male individual out of Africa. But they are not African today. lol. You know this, so why are you so upset? The scientific method has to have a control group from which the hypothesis is tested. A theory is developed prior to the tests that are performed. That is the first requirement that all Biology teachers must teach. So no, you don't 'hypothesize a theory' LOL. A theory is developed from an hypothesize or a set of hypothesize'. Then experiments are done afterwards. When a mutation occurs and are passed on through reproduction, that is not 'an adaptation'. The process of evolution when it comes to 'humans' has never been proven to be 'evolution'. What I vaguely remember about 'adaptation' is that it is 1 of 8 definitions of human life. I vaguely remember an example of how a certain animal began using 'a tool' to dig food out of a tree as an example of how later species started doing this. another form of adaptation is due to environmental changes which causes some species to adapt and change behavior due to a change within in their environment. -

The Seal of the Living God in the Forehead So, 'the seal' as in the verse 'the seal of the living God in the forehead' means that it is like 'a stamp'. The ancient Persian kings had a ring and would stamp letters with his ring that proved it came from that ring. It was 'a seal'. So, 'a seal' in this context would be 'a genetic marker'. The genetic expression of having nappy hair is on a gene(s) that are connected to a dominant African trait such as Eumelanin along with other dominant 'African traits' such as thick lips, thick hips, etc. When humans practice sex selection to breed with people that do not express these traits from generation to generation, then mutations will occur and the nappy hair gene expression will also be absent. Nappy hair, is a seal, and cannot be expressed without some other dominant 'African trait'. Genes travel in pairs and therefore, this gene of nappy hair is firmly attached to genes that also express other dominant African traits. You will see Europeans with all kinds of African traits, but not nappy hair. Most Europeans have curly hair or wavy hair, but not nappy hair. Mostly all human traits go back to Africa but due to hybridization, some traits are not from Modern mankind. Eumelanin is linked to the Original male individual out of Africa and so is the trait of nappy hair. Prior to modern mankind, Eumelanin did not exist in the primitive humans. They express very dark skin but not 'black skin' which is Eumelanin. And they also did not express nappy hair. You will not see any nappy headed primitive cave drawings!!! Curly hair, whether loose or tightly curled hair is a variation between nappy hair and straight hair. Scientist wonder if the CroMagnon had curly hair, but for now, they cannot prove that... and they won't prove it. Curly hair did not occur until AFTER the Modern mankind existed and interbred with primitive humans. Without nappy hair, curly did not occur. Curly hair is a result of an admixture of nappy hair and some type of straight or wavy hair, etc. -

Chevdove replied to nels's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
Where did straight haired non African humans originate? My response would be to reference the Smithsonian Museum which is science based. Absolutely none of the Primitive Hominids in that museum had nappy hair. Absolutely none of the Primitive Hominids in that museum had curly hair. All of the Primitive Hominids in that museum had bone straight hair. All of the Primitive Hominids, even the very dark skinned ones had bone straight hair. As to where they originated from, I do not know. But they are not Modern Humans. As to where straight hair originates from, I do not know. Scientist say that modern humans do not express hair type from primitive humans. But it does seem to me that the varied hair textured is due to polygenetics and that is what scientist say. The term 'race' is so arbitrary, however, Esther was chosen due to the Persian king of kings who replaced his earlier queen and so, Esther was indeed chosen based on her 'physical traits' that is why Xerxes did not know that she was a Jew. The depiction of Moses and the Original Hebrews reveals that most of them were dark skinned. So therefore, when his sister Miriam protested against Moses' wife, the Creator judged her for her issues with Colorism. Therefore, the Original Hebrews were dark skinned and had woolly hair. Persian people during Esther time were absolutely not African. Xerxes was not an African man, however, he was a Mede. Just as Europeans today are not defined as African. However, we know that Europeans, Persians, etc. have origins that go right back to Africa. Biology and ethnic intermixing seems to refute that claim I watched the film, but I don't know what I am suppose to get out of it. It was about a man from Michigan State who did an experiment that last for a few decades on bacteria. He used phrases about who the bacteria multiplied and at one point expressed some type of adaptation from the earlier bacterium. He mentioned Darwin's theory. He also mentioned how he observed some mutations. This has nothing to do with the evolution that Darwin has theorized about mankind. When it comes to evolution, nothing has been proven. A mutation can be observed but evolution is only a theory and should the theory be proven, then it becomes a fact. Modern Human origins are not 'an evolution', but has its origins that have been proven. The White Supremacist will always be in a rage about Modern Human origins coming from an African malefactor with nappy hair. They will always try to re-define modern humans as having original traits that manifest White skin and straight hair, but that will never happen. That is their rage. If that doesn't work, then they will try to make a claim that all human traits stem from African people so as to equate African people with a negative origin. Don't be deceived @frankster. Again, I earned a degree in Biology and I did a thesis on African hair and have been trained as an Environmental Scientist. I have had to study hair and fibers and animal hair. The class I took in which I did that thesis is called Comparative Anatomy. As an Environmental Scientist, I would have to go out and take bulk samples. Then I would take these samples back to the lab and have to prepare slides and then study them under a microscope. All humans today are Modern Humans, but we do express genes that come from interbreeding with primitive hominids. Only because of the male DNA are modern humans classified as being Modern Humans. Ethnic intermixing still does not mean anything when it comes to a Persian of whom would have dominant traits that would identify them from Africans. No matter what, people of African descent do NOT look like a person from China. No matter what, people from India have a unique set of characteristic physical traits that would make them distinct from Nigerian people. So, although African people can express traits that reveal if they are somewhat intermixed with a Chinese person, these traits are identifiable. When it comes to nappy hair, that trait is a dominant trait of African people. This trait will never be separated from dominant African traits. You will never see a European with nappy hair but go ahead and post your pictures, if you believe the Bible is wrong. Some of my relatives have, what some would call, 'a soft afro' of which means that when it is wet, the hair reveals that it does not nap. It curls, but it does not nap up. The seal of the living God in the forehead is scripture that refers to 'the woolly hair'. The Native Americans had a custom known as 'the Comb Test' for this very reason. Even though a person may appear to have a nappy afro, they would be brought in front of the alter in church and a comb was ran through their hair. If they had naps, then they would not be allowed to be a member of that church. -

Hi @frankster! You pose question of which human species did not originate in Africa? And you made a statement that all humans are African. My response is that all MODERN humans today came out of Africa. All modern humans originated from one male individual out of Africa, however, not primitive humans. I do not know where Primitive humans originated from. But modern humans did inter breed with primitive humans and so, some genes that modern humans express do come from this interbreeding. So these people you mentioned above had natural nappy hair? Feel free to repost pictures of Europeans that you believe have African traits, however, there is no such phenomenon today or ever whereby you will see a European with nappy hair. It simply does not exist. But again feel free to post your pics for us African people to witness for ourselves. The male you speak of, I did see him, but no, his hair is not nappy. I see Europeans all of the time with altered hair, but not nappy. The fact that he look like he had red hair is very specific though, like Prince Harry. It is common to see some red haired Europeans with thick textured hair. You continue to use the word 'coily' however, it has nothing to do with hair that naps. Coily hair is different from hair that naps or locks. I agree though that curly hair and a rounded nose is definitely proof of African roots. velcro versus coily hair 'sticking' together would not be scientific terminology. All hair type can tangle or stick together in certain ways. But nappy hair is the only hair that locks. Some of my relatives have what the red headed male in your film has too, but the hair does not lock. It is curly, but does not lock. Yes, the original Celts definitely had nappy hair. -

Chevdove replied to nels's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
Evolution is a theory. It has not proven anything yet. Mutation is completely proven every time reproduction occurs. Therefore, nappy hair will never be separated from being paired with it original gene structure under the sun, so says the Bible. Nappy hair is exclusive. It is the seal of the living God in the top of the head. -
Ha! Yeah. I understand this, but what about the history that hasn't even been taught? Some history may have been well documented but some of us over here have not been taught, so that means we might be victims of repeating the same mistakes that have landed us into this predicament. It's like we are sittin' ducks for anything. I think we do need some help from the outside, here, or something.

Thats cool As It was mostly targeted toward @Chevdove & @Pioneer1. I watched the film you posted for me to watch and that woman was very upset with her daughter who chose to identify as being White. As @Troy said, "in America" you never have to look phonetically Black to be Black in America. That woman has the right to choose, but that is NOT true for many African Americans though. Some have the opportunity to choose. But, IMO, it's obvious that woman has traits that show that she has 'Black' traits! It's also obvious that she has a lot of albinism too and you can see that she squints, showing that she may have albinism in her eyes. She absolutely expresses traits that is seen in Africa whereby many African albinos have very similar traits! That woman is precious. But I do understand how hard it is for her daughter because, unlike the woman, however, her daughter shows that she has more European or 'White' traits. Unfortunately, here in America, Color has morphed into being defined as 'Race' and so, yes, I too believe that it is a social construct. This though became a social construct in modern times, but it happened in ancient times too. I call today's version 'a social reconstruction'. The Biblical Esther was afraid to reveal to her husband that she was 'a Jew' because at that time, Jews were not thought to be like she had been. The superficial idea that a person's skin color defined them as being a particular culture or 'kindred' was distorted a long time ago. -

I agree. LOL I don't really have anything to say about curly or coily hair, I only concentrate on nappy hair; meaning hair that locks. As I have said, I was trained as an Environmental scientist to know the difference between straight hair, wavy, and curly hair and hair that locks. Hair that locks is distinct. It is thinner than curly hair and straight hair and it has angles. curly hair does NOT have angles and does not knot up. This is not 'just my thoughts'. I was trained on it. I did my college thesis on it. Hair that locks is totally different from hair that curls. -

Yes....Because African is the Original Type of human. Yet....intermixing among humans can lead to mutations and a continuing of Variation in phenotype expression. The Widest Variation in Genotype and Phenotype is among Africans. Hi again @frankster! No. Africans are NOT the originating group of all human species and this is based on mostly all science reports on an international level. Africans are the originating human species for MODERN MANKIND but absolutely NOT primitive humans. So Africans do NOT express all genes from their origins. so then, in regards to Phenotype, African people may express poly genetics. The highlighted picture you posted shows a girl with a rounded nose and it is impossible to determine that her hair will Nap. As i stated before, between nappy hair and straight hair is a variation of the two origins and this is due to two different human species that interbred a long time ago. The only way to tell if that female hair has the genetic expression of napping 'locking' is to wet it or after a couple of months, if she relaxed it with chemicals, her new growth will show that it naps. The ancient CELTS, were so obsessed with straight hair that they did practice putting chemicals in their hair to straighten it. The Bible also records that at some point the Hebrews did the same thing. The prophets wrote in the Bible, and in one passage, it says 'uncover your locks, and pass over the river'... In ancient times it was called a process of putting LIME in the hair. So, I've seen some Europeans put vinegar in their hair and it will look like the hair of the woman in your photo. So it's hard for me to know. -

The Albino you say 1A, I'm not sure where you get that from, but as you mentioned, in general, about the Eumelanin and the Pheomelanin; Albinism is different and means the cells do not produce melanocytes. But many people with albinism can produce some form of melanin. But that is not what is occurring when it comes to albinism because many people with albinism have very nappy hair. So this means that the gene that codes for nappy hair is based on their Haplo group and the specific gene that codes for other dominant traits that are connected to other traits. -

Chevdove replied to nels's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
I always reference the most recent international report about all modern humans originating from one male individual out of Africa and also how this confirms the Bible too, in that all humans [i.e. modern mankind] stem from Adam. This is genetically confirmed based on the other reference that goes along with the Stanford University report about all male Haplo Groups. But female genetics do not stem from one female individual mtDNA. Some female mtDNA goes back much farther than anatomically straight male haplo groups. I guess if were to dig, maybe I could find the specific gene(s) that code for nappy hair, but I think that someone who could study genetics on a master's degree level or Phd level would have the opportunity to learn this firsthand. As far as finding the prepared slides I had to study as an Environmental Scientist or in my college Histology class, I suppose I could do research on the internet and maybe come across them in some medical book or something. BUT no, the E1b1 haplo group is not the origin for nappy hair. To be more specific and to clarify: The very first Haplo Group 'A' would be the origin of nappy hair, 'hair that locks'. The E1b1 Haplo Groups is said that correlates to many males in Sub Saharan Africa. So to answer your question of what groups does not have nappy hair gene, I will try to reply with an explanation of how scientist based their findings; As I said earlier, the humans that were born that do not express 'hair that locks' is due to a MUTATION. One term to define MUTATIONS as a result of reproduction would be the term SNAP which has to do with polynucleotides of which generally means that a new polynucleotide forms as a result of reproduction. Scientist studied these changes on a genetic level and can determine males that migrated away from Africa that have the same genetic structure and this is the basis for haplo groups. If the mutation is due to this type of mutation, then they define new SUB-CLADES. There are only a few early Haplo groups that branched off the A Haplo group: BT, C, D, E, and F and these ancient Haplo groups are determined on a genetic level. From these early Haplo groups, scientist can see that through reproduction, other gene reproductions occurred and therefore, they are called Clades and Subclades and all modern males have these genetic structures. Therefore, scientist know that certain subclades have genes that will code for certain hairtype. ************* All male basal A genetic mark codes for this 'African hair' of hair that locks. *********** But later Subclades show in their genes a certain SNAP MUTATION and this means that they will not code for it. ****** All male Haplo Groups show this BASAL A genetic marker which shows that all modern males stem from this one individual in ancient times. ***** So, not only to the E1b1 Haplo groups show this marking, but the C, D, and F Haplo groups show this same BASAL A gene material. The E1b1 groups do not show a mutation that cause this trait to stop and therefore, this group would be the type of males that have dominant traits that go back to the original male. But other males that show a significant mutation also show that many of these groups migrated out of Africa in great numbers and reproduced in different ways and therefore, the mutation occurred and that gene that codes for nappy hair is absolutely gone! And it won't come back at all, unless they reproduce with a Negro woman with nappy hair for a couple of generations. That is the best way that I can explain it. I don't have a higher degree, so I don't know the exact sceintific terminology for all that there probably is to explain it better. -
Did I miss something? I thought today is @aka Contrarian's Birthday! I run late sometimes... I am affected with the CPT plague, but I was hoping to get this right! I hope I got this right. If so, this is an incredible day! Happy Birthday @aka Contrarian and may you enjoy this special day and many more!!! This is a very special month for me because I have a lot of relatives who were born this month. My uncle lived to be 100 years old was born in the month of August. My Grandmother was born in this month, my Step-father was born in this month and he just had a birthday and is now 87 years old.

Pretty hilarious For real!? Okay now. All jokes aside, the Australian woman is getting a lot of negativity, but if you saw her initial breaking, it was not all that bad. Her later performance was different. And, even though no Blacks won, I still believe that it was a positive contribution to those who invented breaking. To see the competitors put in so much effort across the world into this art form, I thought was awesome. The Black man from France was great, imo. Y'all spoiled my fun. I was going to post some highlights. The girl from India and the winner, I thought was great. -

I didn't see Gabby in the list. She was on the 4 X 400 relay team and they won!!! The previous clip was in Budapest, National Championship, but the Olympic relay had Sarah in it! But this clip will NOT embed https://youtu.be/2iyjNnhcE74 -
Okay but that fear is real. Whether it's the sky fairy, Santa Claus, or whatever, so far, nothing on this earth has been sufficient, even though historically there have been some victories in some countries. For sure. It does go back to slavery. But then, actually, it goes back before it, imo. I honestly believe that prior to the set up of slavery, it was a set up in Europe that occurred before that is the problem with us, Black people NOT having the solution yet, to throw off this evil. I believe that we really need to know what happened prior to the set up of slavery and how we have been trapped. How can we fight against this kind of oppression?
