Dark Brown, "not black"

[edit]

I found this unprofessional and unnecessary and I took it out. Unprofessional because it does not meet Wikipedia or any other professional guideline for neutrality. Unnecessary because it is not addressing anything other than someone's assumption about what s/he thinks other readers may conclude that Maiherpri is black like a black person from which we currently understand. I do not see why that is a viewpoint that needs to be challenged, or preemtively dismissed. Based on what we can see is evident Maiherpri has skin darker than the average black person. We also as readers do not need a shephard to tell us how to think about skin color. I think Maiherpri was black, but if someone else sees this picture and thinks otherwise, that's their choice. Also the reference is vague and redundant in the article and does not really give any clarity to the statement.
