What are black people like?
Dark skin, curly hair, thick lips...
This should be most people's impression of black people, and in people's eyes, every black person looks like this.
In fact, the skin color of blacks is very different, although it is also black, but it is divided into different types, which is completely different from what people imagine.
This is the San people, one of the oldest inhabitants of Africa, they are also a black species, but just by the skin color, they are more like yellow.
This is a black man in Ethiopia, their skin is lighter in color, more like a brown race, but it is true that they are really black.
In fact, in most African regions, including many countries including Ethiopia, their skin color is not dark, and they also like white skin, the whiter the better, the darker the more disliked.
But there is an exception to this place, where people value black as beauty, they believe that the darker the skin, the better it looks, and people who are not dark are discriminated against here.
This is the Dinka people of South Sudan, a nomadic people living in the swamps of the Nile Basin.
The Dinka people are highly famous in the world because they are the blackest people in the world.
How dark is it?
Let's just say that most people come to the Dinka and become "face blind".
Because the Dinka people are so black that they can't even see their facial features clearly, people can only see a black face. The nose, eyes, ears, mouth and surrounding skin blend perfectly, like a black piece of paper, and the face is blurred.
As the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness, and the Dinka people have also done this, but they are caused by black, and the average person can't tell the beauty and ugliness of the Dinka people.
Nyakim Gatwech, the world's most famous black female model, a legend known as the "Dark Queen", she is from the Dinka clan, she can be famous, in addition to her own efforts, and her skin is also related, because when she stands on the stage, people know that there are such dark people in the world.
It is precisely because of the dark skin that the Dinka people have formed their own unique aesthetic, and when the world is white for beauty, they are black for beauty, thinking that the darker the more beautiful, other Africans come here, and they will be discriminated against because they are not black enough.
This should be a scorpion - a single (poison) one.
South Sudan, a country that many people don't understand, is not necessarily the poorest country in the world, but it is definitely one of the most war-prone countries.
An official of a peacekeeping force once said of the country: "The country, except war, refugees, poverty and hunger, seems to have nothing."
While most South Sudanese are still suffering from famine and war, the Dinka people are still leisurely herding cattle, and their territory is rich in water and grass, and the climate is adapted, which is simply a treasure land for grazing, which makes countless people's eyes red.
But for thousands of years, the Dinka people were able to firmly occupy this place.
The reason is simple, the Dinka people are too strong.
The Dinka people are the world's tallest people, with an average height of 1.82 meters, their hands and feet are slender and powerful, coupled with a long-term nomadic life, there is no trace of fat on the body, full of muscles, such a tall, strong and black man, enough to give people a strong sense of oppression.
The Dinka people grow so tall, it is related to their diet, they do not farm, they raise cattle for a living, they raise Ancol cows, one of the largest cattle in the world, they average more than 2.3 meters tall, and they have giant horns on their heads, which look very majestic.
The nutritional value of the meat and milk of this cow is extremely high, which is also the most common food of the Dinka people, since childhood, the Dinka people rarely drink breast milk, are replaced by milk.
They do not use buckets to pick up milk to drink, but directly lie under the cow to drink, when they grow up, milk even becomes a universal food, whether thirsty or hungry, directly lie under the cow to pour a few mouthfuls.
This may be the reason why they are so tall, such a height makes them have no effort or even ease when herding such large cattle.
In poor and backward South Sudan, the cattle of the Dinka people have become eye-catching wealth, and for thousands of years, there have been many conflicts caused by robbing cattle and stealing cattle, so every Dinka is a warrior, and the weapons in their hands have long changed from bows and arrows to AK.
Imagine a group of tall, dark, and strong people sitting on tall and large cows with AKs in their hands, believing that as long as their heads are fine, they definitely don't want to conflict with them.
This is the Dinka people, a magical people who are dark, tall and difficult to mess with.
