Unmixed Negrids in Southern USA

[aroundtheworld]

Does anyone have any pics? I have been traveling thru the Southern USA for the past 7yrs and have noticed this to be a strange thing. I have only seen unmixed black in Africans but never in the USA-except for old photos. The unmixed people I've seen are in Georgia, Alabama, and parts of Mississippi. They are very unattractive and even have a physical build that is not "statuesque" or desireable like in black athletes/dancers, etc. Their hair texture is extremely kinky and facial features very odd and impossible to categorize for me. I don't know if it's b/c of them being unmixed with any other ethnicities(mixed amongst tribes) or because they are isolated or b/c of their diet but they are strange-looking to me.

I have tried to converse with many of them and it's difficult. It's not an ignorance but like they may be slightly "dimmer" or something than other blacks/Africans. I am sure there are intelligent ones but something about them as a whole is rather slow-lifestyle, conversation, activity, etc.

Are these people descendants of a group of slaves imported later in the 1800's?

Are they descendants of undesireable slaves?

Did they not mix with White/Native Amer. b/c of mental disabilities or physical unattractiveness?

Inbreeding?

They're just purer negrids.

Are they farmers or hillbilly's? In Sweden we have the same phenomenon with Swedish farmers. Talking to them is like talking with a cow. They are uglier and dumber than Swedes from more cultivated areas

inbred most likely

That's what I believe. They don't look robust like Nubians and Congoids or even like that model Alek Wek. She actually looks "Perky" and cute and intelligent. There is something different about the eyes.

Yes, most of these people are farmers...laborers and very isolated but familiar with whites in the area. many of them are well-liked/respected but live a very simple life.

I saw a family of them at Six Flags over Georgia. Everyone stared at them. I struck up a conversation with them and they explained that they were from Alabama and they got the tickets from a white neighbor in the area who treated them to a weekend out. I thought it was nice.

First thing I noticed was their stature. They were frail, small, and their features were not huge, but large in proportion to their small sizes.

They had an archaic look to them that as I stated before was difficult to categorize. Not Nilotic, not Congoid or anything...just "different"...like nothing I had seen before.

...But they were very Friendly and Happy and very polite and well-manered-just more simple than what I've ever seen in an American family.

Not necessarily so. Ingvar Kamprad, one of the richest men in the world, was born in rural Sweden:

"Kamprad was born in the south of Sweden in 1926 and raised on a farm called Elmtaryd, near the small village of Agunnaryd".

"Ikea, the joke goes, is the Swedish word for temporarily out of stock. In fact, it is an acronym consisting of the initials of its eccentric founder, the 74-year-old Ingvar Kamprad, with the E being for Elmtaryd, the family farm in Sweden where he was born; and the A for Agunnaryd, the village where he grew up".

Yes, there are exceptions. Not everybody are like I described

Slightly off topic but...

Nist, as far as I know Sweden was, as Finland, a largely agricultural country up until the 20th century. That means that a large portion of the Swedes living today had grandparents or even parents who got their livelyhood from farming. Usually they are decedents of the same people the current "hillibillies" are. So there really isn't any genetic difference between the two. It's all cultural. It's obvious that people working with the land and livestock do pay less attention to their looks than people working in office and in contact with the public. It's also obvious that hard work leaves it traces. Farming in Europe is, of course, very authomitized by now, but just try to wake up every morning, Saturndays and Sundays included, at 5 a.m. to milk the cows and you'll see what it makes to you.

I also seriously doubt that Swedish farmers should be somehow dumber than people living in towns. They might be interested in different things. But at least here in Finland people living in the countryside are really active organizing different kind of activities. Actually, they seem to participate a lot more than the city folks. Since we've "copied" most everything from Sweden, I don't why it shouldn't be like this also there.

Of course, I'm partial. I was raised in a small community where farming remained the main livelyhood for large portion of population. I found the athmosphere there slightly opressing, but I wouldn't go as far as to calling people there stupid or even ignorant.
