Do we consider Drake AA?

[#SOG_soldier]

Neither him nor Barry Obama is black. Both are mixed. Americans need to let go of the one drop rule.

 

[The BasedFather]

Ya'll can't have it both ways. Obama is mixed and ya'll say he's just as black as the rest of us. And he was raised by a white woman and around white folks too. Ya'll can't nitpick with the one drop rule. IF it applies to one it applies to all.

I don't claim Obama or mixed people

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

It's not up to nobody but Drake what he considers himself.

and I leave it at that when it comes to situations such as.

Sorry

Not a fan of the one drop rule but you made a good point

Obama is biracial and so is Drake
Whoever calls them black is a one drop clown
Its either white people admitting black genes are dominant
or blacks obsession with mixed people

for mfs to disregard Obama's lily white CIA mother is DISRESPECTFUL

When I first heard him on So Far Gone, he was reppin' Memphis pretty hard. Then I remember that song where he said that he aint close with none of his cousins from his Dad's side and I aint heard him mention Memphis since.

 

[Poitier]

yes, he is ethnically AA.

 

[Prynce]

He uses it to his convenience. I know a bunch of mixed people who will pull up their ethnic background for quick cool points but they weren't raised in that culture.

If he was in a different industry he'd be leaning on his Jewish side heavier. He's the same guy that called his dad the typical black American dad over not coming to Canada over child support payments.

I see what you mean like how zoe kravitz and dem claim their jewish side a lot heavier than drake

 

[BaldingSoHard]

If you say no, then does it bother you when he uses the n-word in his songs? Why or why not?

I'm a hypocrite in this area. It's easy to say Fredrick Douglass and other great mixed people are black. But the others idk.
i don't even like when the suburban mixed ones who grew up around white people say "nikka" .

Sorry

Not emotionally invested enough to care

Besides both of them claim us pretty heavy

 

[Poitier]

Black and AA are not synonymous terms.

I am too

It's hard to play that mixed game with everybody because of rapes and people getting taken advantage of. For example I see Bob Marley as black because he was never raised by his father or his fathers family never even really met them.

So it's way to complicated and not as cut and dry
