"Biracial Not Black Damn It" trailer

Which still makes us Black

Just like Italians are White with significant Arab and African ancestry

Italians werent considered white in America until relatively recently.

Find me a West African woman who looks like Alicia Keys

West African? Black American phenotypes are a little more vast than that.

Italians werent considered white in America until relatively recently.

They were definitely considered white by the 50s, most of them don't look too terribly different from other people considered white.

West African? Black American phenotypes are a little more vast than that.

Well that's the African component of most black Americans, in addition to the West Coast of Southern Africa.

I'm not arguing that Biracials looks overlap with indigenous Africans, I am saying lighter Black Americans and Biracials have significant phenotype overlap. And since light skin doesn't mean more mixed, its pretty hard to ID a Biracial that falls in that overlap. Of course, there are Biracials who are clearly Biracial and a small minority who overlap with Whites.

In this society, there is no such thing as biracial. You are either white or you are black.

Well of course they can overlap since many black Americans not considered mixed have significant white ancestry.

ehh it's not so much that way anymore, some people seem truly mixed to me in their appearance and attitude

 

[Poitier]

So saying Halle Berry couldn't be of two Black parents sounds kind of silly, right? That 9/10 Biracials looking distinctly Biracial is absurd.

She's biracial whether or not both her parents are black. Biracial doesn't just mean one white parent/one black parent.

[Fat Kevin]

So you don't think someone who is 50% white/50% black is mixed just because one of their parents isn't fully white?

 

[GunRanger]

They were definitely considered white by the 50s, most of them don't look too terribly different from other people considered white.

That's still recent, and even then they were looked down on as greaseballs, or gangsters. It's only the last 40 years or so where Italians are viewed as normal white people. Their features are different from the typical white features too.

 

[Poitier]

So you don't think someone who is 50% white/50% black is mixed just because one of their parents isn't fully white?

Admixed? Sure. Biracial? No. IF you have to admixed parents then you are just admixed.

 

[GreatestLaker]

He is right. Biracial means belonging to two races.

If I have a kid with a mulatto chick how is my kid not bi-racial?

Biracial as in 50/50. One race and one race for each parent. Get that mixed supremacist nonsense out of here.
