And if you tink about how selfish and jealous they are, they'll destroy eachother very quickly.

PS: before you guys jump on me, I'm only trying to answer the question from a different angle.

BTW, Yama is also my babygurl.
I'm fine sis. Hope everything went well the other day.
Wow... I do not think it is about intelligence meddeen...most people that answered the questions raised actually had misconceptions about the climate instead and none really answered the questions.

Yes, the middle parts of the world is called TROPICAL then towards the poles it becomes HOT GRASSLAND then HOT DESERT then TEMPERATE (mild) then cold GRASSLAND then Cold DESERT (tundra).

The climate of the tropics although warm all year round is humid, uncomfortably hot and most importantly facilitate the proliferation of PESTS,- insects above all and therefore tropical diseases. On this basis the temperate (mild) region is more desirable.

Personally, the one thing I do not miss about the tropics is the prevalence of INSECTS, mosquitoes!! flies, etc.

Do not assume that we live in the best climate.

ps..."BTW, Yama is also my babygurl". Since when? asking for trouble eh?

@highlighted. Really? How come so many Whites envy our climate so much?

PS: Yama became my babygurl since the day I found out she's Senegalese. I can understand a little bit of her Sen language, which you can't. Don't you think that givs me an advantage. I've also been to Dakar (the capital of Senegal)

Could it be that historically, blacks were much stronger and well armed and, so we could have driven them out of the African continent?

Also, could it be that out of the necessity to survive the cold they (whites) developed faster and better than us?
WHO pushed the white man to the coldest parts of the world? When? How did that happen?

Until one understands his real needs, he wouldn't know any solutions. There are brilliant, successful, and adventurous Africans who grew up and still live in Africa. Yet again, there are poor, uneducated and selfish Caucasians who are struggling to survive in their own continent.

The fact that they like our climate does not mean anything. See, do not allow the intelligence stuff to cloud your mind brother...if you do, then you will end up thinking exactly like the whites.

I am half Senegalese and so there.

Pete, no one actually pushed the white man...its a figure of speech...

But you are right...very true words you got up there...someone said this in response...what do you think?

"Blacks pushed the albinos out of Africa for fear of being evil. Others thought a mad black scientist created the pale looking people most blame for our predicaments then. The so-called out of Africa theory was only made famous by whites to save face. Having agreed that we all came from one black mother, whites have attributed their pale skin colour to the cold climatic conditions of Europe. The hatred of blacks by whites has its root in the past. Kinda like vowing not to forgive an abusive relative".

I agree with the person that the whites skin was caused by cold climatic conditions, but I disagree with the writer about the black scientist theory.

Yeah, I'll tell you more later!! Bur in general, Yakub was notarized as the greatest scientific mind of his day. He, set out on a mission to clone the human being, which at the time didn't include the white race, so one can conclude that he was attempting to generate a black person, and he nearly succeeded but for the fact of that he slipped up on a couple of his measurements and ended up procreating a genetically defected black person. The Genetic defect caused the test-tube babies born of his studies to experience a lack of pigmentation and common hair growth as is found in the black race, yet common in many others, aka big curly stringy hair, like that of Jews, many Italian, Greeks and other from the Med region. Most of this group was forced out of the continent as they were considered bad luck... and indeed up migrating to the Med region of Europe, and north int he Ural and Caspian regions of Europe and Asia, were Isolation and climatic changes caused them to go through many different physical changes depicting on the areas they migrated to. Northern Europeans are from the branch of these folks whom migrated into the cold Ural mountain region and then back east into the flats of the Steppes of Europe were Germany, Poland and such nations now stand today. Their longer stay from African like claimants is the reason that they are more distant in looks from their African roots than the groups of Europeans from the Med region of the European continent. Many of these Yakub people managed to also intermix into the general African population, this is why the Black race comes in so many different shades of chocolate, it's the Yakub peoples genes in which have allowed this to happen. I'll talk more on this later. Now remember people this is controversial history in which has been claimed throughout time. And is believed by many African tribes, and AfAm 5%'ers today.

Is this response based on actual facts, religious or mythological beliefs? Sounds more like the latter to me, unless there are documented backups beyond reasonable doubts. I also see a mixture of scientific and stereotypical comments. Yes, earth's climatic difference contributes to one's skin tone, but food and chemical mixtures found in creams/lotions/cosmetics also play great role.

@highlighted...do not know. Mankind regardless of race almost always are forced to react when under severe constraints. I personally prefer the cold to heat. Cold kills but one can seek comfort through warm clothes. Heat on the other hand is unbearable. Comsmetics??? Don't we all usual use almost the same products? With food, I can understand, but not cosmetics and lotions as we basically use the same. Most Africans do not use anything from Africa as we know.
