Anonymous Coward User ID: 380210 United States 11/17/2008 04:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Completely lost me with the idea of Whoopi Goldberg starring in anything as "the most beautiful of women". Unless it was an episode of The Twilight Zone maybe. Quoting: Okie 447203I agree and it was done by Disney who usually have overly cute singers, dancers, and characters. They must have used allot of makeup. The toponym California is currently used by three North American entities — in the United States, by the state of California; and in Mexico, by the states of Baja California ("Lower California") and Baja California Sur ("South Lower California") (collectively, these three areas constitute Las Californias) — and shared by many other places in other parts of the world whose names derive from these. Alta California ("Upper California") was the name of the State of California when it was still part of Mexico, and the Sea of Cortés is also known as the Gulf of California. Several origins have been suggested for the word "California," including Spanish, Latin, South Asian and Aboriginal American origins. All of these are disputed The meaning of the word california in Spanish is a wide bay. In Spanish exist four words to name these kind of orographic formations: ensenada (very small bay), bahía (bay), california (wide and bigger bay), and golfo(gulf). However, the origin of the word california, is believe that comes from the Spanish word cala that means ensenada and the latin formix that means vault. It refers to the natural arched structure that still is seen in Cabo San Lucas. Some suggest that the word California may signify that a place is "hot as an oven" (cali > hot, fornia > oven). It may be derived from calor de forn, Catalan for hot furnace, expression attributed to the explorer Gaspar de Portolà, or it may come from calida fornax, Latin for hot furnace.[5] Another possible source may be kali forno, an indigenous phrase meaning "high mountains".[6] There is no agreement among scholars.

"Bay" in Spanish is Bahia and "Wide" is Ancho How do you get California = "wide bay" out of that? ----------------- Know that on the right hand from the Indies exists an island called California very close to a side of the Earthly Paradise; and it was populated by black women, without any man existing there, because they lived in the way of the Amazons. They had beautiful and robust bodies, and were brave and very strong. Their island was the strongest of the World, with its cliffs and rocky shores. Their weapons were golden and so were the harnesses of the wild beasts that they were accustomed to domesticate and ride, because there was no other metal in the island than gold. – Las Sergas de Esplandián, (novela de caballería) by García Ordóñez de Montalvo. Published in Seville in 1510. -------------------------------- California is East of the Indies (Asia). California has a rocky coast comprised of cliffs. California was populated by dark (black) skinned Natives. California has tons of gold. Alot of simliarities IMO. ------------------------ |

California was named by the great Spanish Explorer Senior Underwear when he noticed hordes of Africans inhabiting what is now South Central Lost Anrgles. California means RUN LAPD is comming. Of course it is not. It is named after a plant. And Los Angles means of the Angels. The names in California go back to the Spanish land grant days and before when they had Missions. And trust me, the Spanish were NOT naming anything after any African. They considered the Aficans lower than the Indians. At the Peak of their world was GOD, hence Los Angeles. Or San Fancisco = Saint Francis...etc... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1320037 United Kingdom 01/23/2012 02:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lets not mince words here. Queen Califa was a black woman belonging to one of the last indigenous tribes of North America. I'm saying that the Americas were once populated exclusively by black people. This was before the Greco-Roman word Africa came into usage. There is substantial evidence that black tribes preceded red skinned hybrids in the Americas; the so called Native Americans are really the result of an infusion of non-black blood, which took place while the global sea level was still low enough for people to travel from the Old World to the New. Those black tribes were chased out of Eurasia in two directions and arrived in the Americas from two directions. When the sea level rose sufficient to impede travel from the Old World, the black tribes and their pursuers were isolated. Waters deposited in the newly formed oceans and sinking continents (all results of a global flood) caused the post diluvian sea level rise. White Europeans later arrived in the Americas to find red skinned and straight haired hybrids dominating the continents and actual (black) natives living in isolated shelters such as Chaco Canyon, or the Dariente forest. Califa's tribe were confined to Baja California. This is why white European invaders thought nothing of wiping out the "Indians." When they excuse their actions by stating the Indians had internecine wars long before whites arrived, they simply neglect to add that those wars were between hybrids and blacks. They also neglect to admit that many of the so called African Americans alive today are actually descendants of the first Americans, and were not taken directly from Africa as slaves. There is also evidence that like actual West African slaves who were taken to the Americas, the first Americans (indigenous blacks) were of ancient black Hebrew stock, or at least from a people who spoke and wrote a form of Proto-Hebrew. The African slave story is a convenient excuse to keep disenfranchised: a people whose ancestors were labelled African slaves in order to destroy their true identities. Indeed, the term African itself is used also for this purpose. The African continent is actually the world's largest reservation, created by the Greeks, the Romans and others who forced blacks out of the lands they conquered, and INTO the desert wasteland those same Greeks and Romans named Africa. |
