She’s right.
Black Americans flip-flop on this topic depending on whether or not we like said person.
Let’s be 100% honest a lot of those Black women don’t like RGIII and his interracial marriage therefore his children aren’t Black.
Those same women probably consider Doja Cat, Lauren London, Meghan Markle, Yara Shahidi, Zendaya, Halle Berry, etc. as Black women or at the very least don’t care much that they consider themselves Black.
You're correct, this is true

When a biracial woman dates a white man, she's black

If she dates a black man, she's a light skin biracial and he's a colorist

It's all so arbitrary and pathetic

Some people say biracial children are their mother’s race.
:umad:
Biracials should be have their own race. They are stuck between to world because their parents decided to mix.
:yeshrug:
Final point, there is race and there is cultural. You can be white/black/spanish/asian/arab and culturally be different.

Some people just want to torment you.

For a biracial person you're not black when you want to claim black but you are black when you don't want to claim black.

You are black when you act hood though..

All depends on who you're talking to.

They are mixed/biracial
It's like people are ashamed to say theyre mixed first. They always overcompensate by saying their black, but only when it suits them. They also perpetuate the idea that whiteness is pure and once it's "tainted" youre that other thing now. You will never hear them say theyre kids are white, but theyll show off them being "black."

At the end of the day, biracial kids with straight hair can go either way :manny:

If they marry a white person, their kids will be white.

Ethnicity when it comes to biracial people should be predicated on their culture. If you grew up in a white family with white friends then you're white. If you grew up with a black family with black friends and black culture, then you're probationary black. And I say probationary because if they grow up and have a white family then they're white.

They're identity is based on the culture They're closest to. They might be mixed to you but if they've grown up primarily around x group they may identify culturally with that group.

People want to assign a mixed person's identity to them and it's not always thst black and white in the mixed person's mind
