“I Am African” Ad Campaign


New “I Am African” Ad Campaign Shows Celebs In Tribal Paint


Richard Gere, Sarah Jessica Parker & Liv Tyler Are Africans


A slew of A-list stars are featured in the new "I Am African" campaign for the nonprofit organization Keep a Child Alive.


The Hollywood heavyweights -- including Richard Gere, Sarah Jessica Parker and Liv Tyler, as well as black Americans Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys and Tyson Beckford, along with Somali-born supermodel Iman, the organization's global ambassador -- are photographed in tribal face paint to more effectively send the message that "each and every one of us contains DNA that can be traced back to our African ancestors

Actually it would be more appropriate to say "I Am Cyanophyta"

The multi-regional theory has more anthropological and scientific data supporting it than the original out of Africa theory does.

[tsbrenda]

multi-regional theory is just a theory

there is DNA EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT ETHIOPIA

[ymb469]

Really, who cares? I was born in NY, raised in NC and live a happy life in OR. My DNA is Danish. But, really, does it make a difference? (this is rhetorical)

There is also the possibility that humans of European descent have some neanderthal DNA in their history as well.

Skip Gates was Obummer's buddy who was arrested for flipping out on a cop in the Peoples Republic of Cambridge, Massachusetts when the officer responded to a call for a possible break in. It was Gates who lost his key and was forcing entry into his own house. He had no ID on him.

He is as racist as they come.

By the way, if we are all of African decent, Obummer wasnt the first in the White House and we can now drop the claims of racial profiling and giving racial preference on jobs.

I don't know if people will really ever get the fact that as early as 15,000 years ago, every single human being was black. Maybe being a little less scientific about it might go further. Not that it matters anyway, we'll all be completely mixed in like 100 years...

One book, "Black People and their Place in World History," by Dr. Leroy Vaughn, even claims that five past presidents — Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge — had black ancestors, which would make Obama the sixth of his kind.

Mix in a few centuries' worth of Central, South and Native Americans, plus Asians, and untold millions of today's U.S. citizens need a DNA test to decipher their true colors. The melting pot is working.

Interesting post, never heard any of that before. Thanks for posting.:)

As Spencer Wells, the director of National Geographic's massive Genographic Project, puts it: "Our species evolved in Africa, and a subset of Africans left that continent around 50,000 years ago to populate the rest of the world. Our earliest ancestors probably looked very much like modern Africans."

What this fails to mention is that at this time modern man(homo sapiens) had not evolved yet.thus the last statement would be false and mis-leading

[PomonaCA]

I don't know if people will really ever get the fact that as early as 15,000 years ago, every single human being was black.

Could this explain how we evolved from apes? And some races look closer to apes than others?

I'm just saying

[nonnonnon]

does that mean I can say
