At what point is someone not "black" anymore?

Interesting, what does this person look to you?

He looks like AC Slater from the classic show Saved By The Bell

Seriously Mario Lopez looks different than that man in the video to me. But I may be bias cause I've lived in Brazil before. I know plenty of Brazilians like that man who consider themselves negro but to the average black American, yall would call them "Mexican". I got folks in my family lighter than that dude. One of my cousins says people think he Fijian or Tongan.

here is a better question at what point does someone START being black

"mixed" babies are black. The dominate gene will take over. If you pour some soda in a glass of water. That glass of water is no longer clear water. What defines the black identity is simply put, the color of your skin. White people are the physical manifestation of those weak recessive genes.They are a unalike people who recently came from blacks. Don't get caught up in the lies that there's dozens of races. No, there's only 2 kinds of people, and among blacks, there's a variety of different shades and cultures. Peace

Despite having some black ancestry( Various genetic tests put it at around 27% on average). I'd say that I have gone past that point of not being black. I certainly don't identify as being black. I don't think anyone else does either.

Here's a recent example:

I was invited to a company wide black professional network.

Let me preface this: I am a really outgoing and talkative person, and people generally like me when I meet them. I am not socially awkward person. But Overall, I got these weird stares from people, including the white people that were actually hosting the event. I started to feel uncomfortable, but I still continued to make my rounds, socialize with people and have fun.

Then I spoke to some girl, and she turned out to be Nigerian. I mentioned that I did some tests and found that I can, DIRECTLY, trace my ancestry to a certain tribe in Nigeria. She looked me with a dismissive expression and said,"How is that even possible?". I knew exactly what she was alluding too, and I said," well, I have parent that is black". Then she rolled her eyes as if I was lying to her about this. I just said that I was going to get a drink, and I never talked to her again.

This is the first black club/network that I have attended since I was in highschool nearly 10 years ago. In high school I was invited to Black club because the Black Colleges were recruiting, and As I entered the room, I was told, frankly, by the host, "I don't think this event is for you". That memory, her face, and her words, have been stained my mind for a very long time. Honestly, I think that it is unbelievable that I get the same freaking reaction 10 years later.

It's weird because I can just walk into the Asian pacific islander Network, and there are no weird looks, no dismissive statements, and many members will have already been friends of mine. They are generally more accepting. That has been the way it is for me whole life. Black people are dismissive to me and do not accept me. Conversely, Asians are accepting and automatically friendly to me.

Another huge difference that I have noticed... If Asians talk about some cultural topic, they will be either upset or shocked that I don't about it. Then they will talk about me as if I am some sort of Americanized sell-out. Black people never expect me to know about some cultural topic. If black people discuss some cultural topic, and I know about it, they will be very dismissive and discount everything that I say about it.

Race is a social construct. Close thread.

Race is based on biology.

This is a nice story but I hope you get banned here because you're a racialist troll. If they don't want you at their event, that's a good look because not many want you here either.

Race is based on biology.

It is based on subjectivism since the lines drawn are arbitrary, but there is still separation between groups. I'm fine with saying ethnicity exists.

 

[kermit da hustla]

this is idiotic

nothing idiotic about it. it's fact.

 

[godkiller]

If you disagree, show and prove. Don't just say "this is idiotic."

What is there to argue? No ethnicity "dominates" any other in breeding. Mixed people average out as intermediate between their parents' in study (i.e. DNA, traits, psychology, physiology, appearance, the list goes etc), and by extension their parents' group.

wherever the society defines their delusion of race

When Republicans like @KingpinOG & @DEAD7 stop callin em "thugs"

 

[Odyssey]

White Supremacists made up the concept or race because the biological reality of race hurts my fee fee's!

Naturally, the people that make a living, and push the narrative of "race is a social construct" all belong to a certain YKH tribe. Progressive Liberalism for historic European nations, strong nationalism for Israel.


hmmmm
