The concept of not being black anymore is ignorant.
You guys are better than this

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.

Gundumb is not rich, still lying. I've come to assume that pretty much every personal story he shares here is He's been caught making up stories about his life in the past on sohh, and claiming to be a black militant 5%er on some Asian forum. He always has some convenient personal story perfectly tailored to fit whatever opinion he's trying to sell. How many "I'm not considered black and I'm hated by mean black people" stories has he come up with over the years? He has a new one every few months.

He wouldn't be that bad if he'd just stop making shyt up just to have something to post.

Shyt is actually pretty funny, until you realize all the self-hatred that consumes his psyche makes his posts pitiful.​
