Hmm . . . he's biracial you say? That prefix bi, I wonder what it means?
That means he's both Black and white. Learn the meaning of words before using them.
He's biracial
That's not the same as being African american.
There is a difference between being having admixture of white "from slavery"
And having a white parent.
Just cause "AA" have "some" white doesny make us biracial
In the context of race identity, biracial is when the child's parent are of 2 different races.
White mom+black dad, asian dad+ white mom all would have biracial kids....
I explained previously what biracial means but I understand your willful ignorance.

Biracial isn't an ethnicity is what you are missing. Ethnic background has to do with country of origin, heredity, DNA.
Being biracial doesn't negate your origin.
If a Chinese person and a Japanese person have a baby are they Chinese, Japanese, both, neither or bi-Asian, bi-racial or some other shyt no one says?
"Black" is a race, a term used as shorthand to sum up people according to how they look. And it doesn't speak to facts about their ethnicity. When you see Colin Kaepernick walking down the street with no knowledge of his personal history/ethnic background he would be called Black. Him being half white and being raised by white people is irrelevant.

#BlackAF
You sound like Kenya. lol
If we don’t support art that accurately represents us then who will?
We need to prop this show up so more like it can be made.

In america when people ask are you black?....
In "America" what it means is...are you African american.
It's why I've seen so many Africans, and Dominicans when asked if there black, they"ll say no...because there not African american...however globally outside the U.S
The term "black" is used as "of african descent" so yes outside of america I can see how biracials could be mixed in or seen as "black"
But in the U.S. it's different, for the same reason whites dont consider a biracial person to be "white" even though they have a white parent, the same can be same with blacks "AA/ADOS"
if you do not have 2 BLACK PARENTS, YOU ARE NOT BLACK,.
Are you part black...yes
Can you be half ados...yes
Is Colin Kaepernick AA/black...No
Is he half black..yes
I dont care about how he looks any DNA test would prove he is biracial, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being biracial.
I'm not saying they cannot be accepted into the black community.
However as far as representation, 20 millions black families in america, most of them are "black mom, black dad=black child.
But there is a show called #blackAF and those 20 million are not represented and cant relate cause most AA families dont look like that.
I can see how people have a problem with the show called #blackaf but the cast is mostly biracial
Like I said, I can relate to the show on a smaller financial scale and although my wife is lightskin(she has 2 black parents) all our kids are lightskin so I can relate and my wife can too but were not typical of the average black family.

Being "half Black" means you're Black.
And on the show the Dad is not mixed just the Mom, so the kids are 75% Black. The cast is not mostly biracial.

Aww the strawman wont work here, however I will "school" you on African American history to show your statement is absolutely false.
Kenya is African american and his wife is biracial. So in simply context you"ll say " his kids are 75%" when that's false too I'll explain.
His wife is biracial but a DNA test would show his wife is more white then black, probably only 45%black max!!
And kenya is ADOS and most AA's are anywhere from 10-30% white, stated by top genealogist Henry louis gates vid posted below
His wife is biracial but because african americans are not 100% black and she has a white parent, her biracial percentage would lean toward the white side
Timestamp 48:40 min mark
So If he kenya is about 80-85% black and 15% white and his wife is about 45% black, 55% white and minimum those kids would only be about 68ish % black, which is why if you seen his kids in real life they look closer to biracial then they do to someone who would be in admixture range of a AA..so no his kid are not 75% black
And being half black does not mean your black, this is not the one drop rule, and white people dont get to decide who is black.
Biracial means=biracial...
A DNA test would show biracial

Yeah, half Black means you are Black. You don't know what you are talking about.
You wrote all that to dispell a 7% difference?
The kids are mostly black and only 2% off the high side avg of your AA calculation? That means a mostly Black cast.
I didn't say white people decide. You were the one talking about who Prince Harry is allowed to marry like that means something not me.

Aww another failing strawman.
And my calculations were the "minimum" most likely based on how they look their more white then what my estimate shows which was best case senario 68% black..
but have a show called #blackaf...yea okayAnd half means=half
Half black mean half black
1+1 will always equal 2...the math never changes.
However if..YOU are biracial take a DNA test I bet your percentages will show your more white then black
Nothing wrong with that.
Also absolutely nothing wrong with being biracial, there are tons of great biracial people who have done great things to push us forward as a people and they have my respect.
Also their stunning biracial women, and you cam see the coli drools over biracial women EVERYDAY.
So none of my statements are to degrade, demean or disrespect biracials people cause I'm sure being biracial comes with it's own set of complication . And they are an should be accept on both sides of there nda.
However they cant represent the average AA family cause they dont represent the make up of the average AA family
