Race is not skin deep?


I, recently, discovered that anthropologists can tell from a skeleton what race an individual is & what age they were. This then, obviously, debunks the theory that race is skin deep. It is, in fact, bone deep. Black people are claimed to have smaller brains to add to this new racial divide created by science. 


The list of characteristics that are said to make black people better at sports more than other races are: 

• Higher percentage of fast twitch muscles. 
• Longer arm length. 
• Longer hands. 
• Faster patellar tendon (knee) reflexes. 
• Higher centre of gravity (i. e. more spring in their step). 
• More muscle, less fat. 
• Broader shoulders, narrower hips. 
• 3 - 19% more testosterone. 
• Greater bone density. 


I know some other races get jealous of the fact that black people are on average athletically superior but every race has it's own thing that they're good at.

On a more personal note, I think dark-skinned people should not feel ashamed of their skin & forced to lighten themselves. Being dark-skinned myself in South Africa, I'd always get mocked by being told I'm from Angola or Ghana (countries closer to the equator). I feel we should take it as a blessing from the Universe that we are so well adapted to life on the African continent as dark-skinned people. From our kinky hair to our large nostrils, we are perfectly adapted to the harsh African climate. Dark skin (melanin) protects from harmful UV rays of the sun. Be proud, be black, be authentically black. ✊🏿

History of the Mpofana by Mthoko M. Mpofana

I'm not very traditional, I'm more straightforward & basic & often disregard cultural nuances so this history of the Mpofana tribe is going to be as direct & concise as possible.  Growing up, I grew up knowing that the clan praises or izithakazelo of the Mpofana are "Zulu" & "Ntombela", I never questioned that.  What I know now for sure is that there's a lot more that's hidden in history. What I keep seeing being repeated from various sources is that the Mpofana were part of the Amazizi (or AmaTiti) tribe. I now know that in the midlands & perhaps further north, up to the northwestern parts of KZN, they use the greeting "MaZizi okuhlala", perhaps alluding to the fact that the Mpofana as well as other Amazizi tribes were among the original tribes to settle in present-day KZN from 200 AD onwards & the "Dlamini" praise or greeting was used among all Dlamini tribes i. e. the Amahlubi, Amazizi (Mtiti), Hlangwini...

Why "KwaTu"?

We are all "Tu": In many, if not, most of the major indigenous languages in Africa, there's the "tu" suffix or "tu" in the body of the word meaning "a person" (NB: It can be spelt differently depending on accents, in some African languages it's "-du" & others "-tho".).  " Tu " may be the best name for Africa collectively.  Hausa: Person ~ Mu tu m Igbo: People ~ Ndị mma dụ Swahili: Person or people ~ M tu au wa tu   Maybe Tu is too short a word to call a continent so we add the place name prefix "kwa" (meaning at/for) present in Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Zulu & other African languages to make Kwatu or KwaTu .
