I don’t
Just because your skin is dark, don’t making you black. She’s simply American. Her ethnicity has been blurred, corrupted by western capitalist philosophies, and she has ZERO black in her culturally.
I love my blackness. I also believe it is necessary for us, as black people, to not be the first to abandon race on some "we are all the human race!!!" BUT...While she is clearly a black woman, I believe it is wrong to measure blackness by the perception of non-black people. IMO it just implies a lack of pride, or that we take our identity assignment from white people and we should bow our heads.
One of the prevailing and impossible to completely dismiss issues in our community is that there is no hard and fast dividing line between who is black and who is not black.
