Yellowbone and Redbone? What's the difference?

[GroobySteven]

I know I could look it up - but I'm sure I'll get some proper answers here (wishful thinking), I've seen both terms Redbone and Yellowbone. What's the difference and why are they called that?

Most people use it inter-changibly. However, its supposed to be based on the under-tone of the skin. Some light skinned people have a reddish undertone to their skin, ie 'redbone'. Those without = yellowbone

thegreat1 said it perfectly. You've hung out with Amber and I, I'm red while Amber is yellow. :p

We are different.

I have Native American, Puerto Rican and White ancestry.

So am I suppose to disregard those because of some lame ass "One Drop" rule?

Hmm..doubt my Great Grands would be amused.

Side note: Try calling an Italian man, "white" or someone from China, Japanese and see how quick he corrects you. Brits aren't Australians and Scot's aren't to be confused with Irish. So this logic is flawed and stupid?

I am who I say I am.

It annoys me also how some black people get offended when i acknowledge my other ancestry.
I would never diss my African American and Liberian heritage so why should i do that to the others?

Yea, that's Remy and I'm going to swerve on the last part of that comment lol

Thought there was some type of Yes vote for independence recently but it's still a choice if they want to keep their Scottish citizenship or not.

Don't know too much about it yet so I'll remove it.

I'm sure most of you get the gist of what I was saying regardless.

Agreed, my father grandparents were straight from India and I say so with pride.

That has nothing to do with the subject matter at hand. Yellowbone and redbone are not ethnicities nor are they nationalities.

Neither did your initial comment yet here we are.

Not really, it hasn't been voted on yet and polls show it would unlikely go through. Scotland IS a country. You can be both Scottish (or English, Welsh or Northern Irish) AND British.

[tsamberskyi]

your loss lol

I'll find someway to live my loss lol

[werwt22]

redbone is just the tone between light brown and yellow skin.
