Read a book or maybe just google. White,black,asians and arabs all live on the continent of Africa. Africans also speak many languages like french,portuguese,english and even spanish.

Now we can handle this like gentleman or we can get into some old gangster sh*t

Soooo, neither of you made the Mean Girls reference. Yikes.

I did not think of MGs but that's pretty funny. I finally sat through that movie, on the strength of my fondness for Tina Fey, and I remember that line.
So was that old band Booker T and the Mean Girls?

reply

That was an attempt at a joke? I've never seen Mean Girls. I'm used to people quoting The Godfather or maybe Gone with the Wind,but not Mean Girls. In the future he/she should warn us before they tell a joke.

or attempt to tell a joke.

If one warned people beforehand that one was telling a joke, it wouldn't be a very good joke.

Bishop64 is out there being a pompous a$$ on the internet tonight I'd wager.

Oh my god, reservoirsquad, you can't just ask people why they're white.

"Call me in about a week."
"So it could be cancer? Hey, doc. You don't be a stranger either."

I remember a movie "Long Gone" about minor league baseball in the South during the 1950's. They got a black player who they announced as having a Hispanic name. A whole lot of the best Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican players have/had Hispanic names and are African.

At the end of the season after his team members ran off the Klan with baseball bats, they announced at the big game that Joe Louis Brown was playing.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

Richard Pryor: The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings? Maybe?

Tired of being treated like a slave by team owner Sallison Potter (Ted Ross), charismatic star pitcher Bingo Long (Billy Dee Williams) steals a bunch of Negro League players away from their teams, including catcher/slugger Leon Carter (James Earl Jones) and Charlie Snow (Richard Pryor), a player forever scheming to break into the segregated Major League Baseball of the 1930s by masquerading as first a Cuban ("Carlos Nevada"), then a Native American ("Chief Takahoma"). They take to the road, barnstorming through small Midwestern towns, playing the local teams to make ends meet. One of the opposing players, 'Esquire' Joe Calloway (Stan Shaw), is so good that they recruit him. Bingo's team becomes so outlandishly entertaining and successful, it begins to cut into the attendance of the established Negro League teams.

Long Gone is a masterful baseball movie. Truly a movie any baseball fan should see.

Because Africa was colonized by all the big White European countries. So the white colonists had children. And their children had children. And out of those children came beautiful Charlize. Answered your question.
