Black People : how do you all feel about others (who are not black), being on this forumn?

I'v been thinking that maybe I have nothing to offer anyone here, and do feel as if I am somewhat intruding (mind you I feel the same on an Indian site too(so nothing new there), anyway maybe I shouldn't be here.

You don't know me, but I'm usually the one who like the salmon swims against the tide upstream....but today I'm more like a Tuna, meaning that I completely agree with you.

Maybe you should lay low and spectate for awhile, get a feel of what the community has to offer. I'm sure you have a deep insight about the Blacks of India (Dalits). First off, do you even recognize them as Black people?m If not, you're probably not on the same page as the majority here.

I honestly don't know if they could be described as black. By black you mean African American? I just don't see how they could have got there from Africa. My family originated from the North (Near Kashmir/Pakistan) area. I have always wondered about these people myself and have asked other Indian smililar questions. All they say is they are 'Davidsons' some anciant race of people, who are more closer to the the Austrailian Aboriginal than anyone else infact. Which would make sense since (looking at ancient map of the world), it appears Austraila may have been joined onto the tip of India at one time and has seperated. Check an atlas out for yourself and you will see that this could have very much been the case. Definatly these two kind of people are the same or extreamly similar. So my question to you would be do you consider Austrailian aborginals as black? Or do you have another theory?

I don't know if they could be described better as anything other than black.

I just don't see how they could have got there from Africa.

I don't see how they could have got there from anywhere other than Africa.

Precisely.

Or do you have another theory?
