I look at most half-blacks as light-skin blacks, so I don't agree with the thread title.
janet jackson and whitney houston were not hollywood beauty standards. black men clowned janet when she looked black, and clowned her when started looking too much like mike. and people adored houston for her singing, not her beauty.
I have nothing against mixed people.I actually defend them on this site...a lot. All I am saying, blacks have no right to force a sole black identity based on the presumption that whites reject them. They are mixed and not solely black. It's pretty simple actually.The disdain some of you have toward mixed people
Kk Thx for your honesty. I don't se them as black. I don't know how two different races can equal black.I look at most half-blacks as light-skin blacks, so I don't agree with the thread title.
Thats because you're smart enough to understand that race is a social construct, not a math equation.Kk Thx for your honesty. I don't se them as black. I don't know how two different races can equal black.
You nor the majority of people classified as black outside of Africa are 100% African(black has never meant 100% African) either, dummy. at somebody named "golden" posting this stupid shyt.The one drop thread again. Get over it biracial people are just that biracial. Keep posting black leaders who were products of slavery rape hence why they were mixed. Every thread some fool posting that as if that should negate that biracial individuals are biracial and not 100% black.

Yes we've established that many times that someone that is 15% other isn't the same as someone who 50% or more other. But you guys keep holding that same tired argument. Yes, we know that blacl american threshold of blackness is admixed but you guys are claiming virtually white people because he or she has great great grandparent that's black or biracial is not doing the "black community" any favours other than pushing darker skinned blacks to the black and having mixed people as a representation of black americans. Most black americans aren't mariah careys or amber roses...they are a brown skinned and distinctively black.a large number of so called black people are made of more than one "race"...
Thank you. Why do people hold on this one drop rule so badly when it is working against the interest of the average aa I will never know.2 people apply for a job.
who will get the job?
there's supposed to be magazine cover to show black beauty for black history month. who lands the cover.
btw. the majority of black people are (closer too) the latter shade and features. of course we are diverse...so are white people, but on average....what do the majority of west, south and central africans look like? keyword here is majority....u know the answer dont even play.
yea, race is a social construct, and I know that one is clearly not the same as the other. thanks for pointing that out.
to add to that, one also has an advantage of having a parent who is a part of white privilege and thus able to get assistance from said parent. "my moms friend vouched for me" "my dad went down to the police station" a luxury most actual black folks do not have.

Sure you are that's why you've named yourself golden huh?I'm Nigerian so I'm 100% African...pop shyt apologize
Your a clown and biracial folks are biracial..go cry yourself to sleep if you mad.Sure you are that's why you've named yourself golden huh?
You're an idiot. Black and biracial have never been mutually exclusive. Try reading a history book. Try living in present day reality. Divorcing yourself from reality because you're mad isn't going to change it.Your a clown and biracial folks are biracial..go cry yourself to sleep if you mad.
