Does Bruno Mars identify as black, do all his cac fans look at him as a black male?

his family. the jewish & puerto rican dad and filipina mom are in the center. no black person is photoed

But, I've known many black women over the years who look "less black" than Bruno's sister on the farthest left.

Soledad "CNN Black In America" O'Brien claims black and is mainly accepted as such, despite having an "Hispanic" mother and a full white father (making her background basically identical to Bruno Mars' father).

Minus the fukked off eyebrows and contoured CAC nose, this pic is borderline passable as a mixed chick..

And that's frightening.

Soleda O'brien's mother is Afro-Cuban

Granted, but how much African blood qualifies a Cuban for "Afro-Cuban" status? One drop? 50 percent? 75 percent?

Fidel Castro recognized his African heritage. Was he an "Afro-Cuban"?

As bad and as wicked as the one-drop rule has been, at least it was clear in definition.

None of these contemporary enthnoracial terms today are clear.

Soledad ain't black #OBWIB

She and CNN would disagree, but you might be right.

What is the 2017 definition of "black" that we can all understand and abide by?

I don't think there is a single place in the world where people will assume this women is black, from Abidjan to Compton.

Soledad O'Brien: Who is black in America? I am

Editor's Note: In today’s United States, is being black determined by the color of your skin, by your family, by what society says, or something else? Soledad O’Brien reports “Who Is Black in America?” on CNN at 8 p.m. ET/PT this Sunday, December 15.

By Yaba Blay and Soledad O'Brien, CNN

(CNN) - Yaba Blay, Ph.D. created the (1)ne Drop Project, a multiplatform endeavor that hopes to challenge perceptions of black identity. Blay, a consulting producer for "Who Is Black in America?" spoke to hundreds of those who may not immediately be recognized as "black" based on how they look, including CNN Anchor Soledad O'Brien. In this edited excerpt from her forthcoming book, Blay spoke to O'Brien about what makes a person black, and why the conversation is important.

Yaba Blay: How do you identify? Racially and culturally?

Soledad O'Brien: I’m black. I’m Latina. My mom is Cuban. Afro-Cuban. My dad is white and Australian. And I think because of my job, often a question like "How do you identify?" is really not about the question. It’s always "What side are you on?" "What perspective do you bring?"
