...that was the point, being black is vague in the USA because the USA flattens blackness, a vague definition is necessary. ATM if black people don't define blackness in the USA its always going to have a vague definition.
In 2023 I said African /= black and made it clear for your similar reasons. But then you got the census: Black or African-American. Some history:
Since black people native to the USA mainly descend from various West and Central African ethnic groups there is a genetic relationship observed by "looking" African. Blackness is a result of obvious African heritage.
Nipsey Hussle's father was Eritrean. What is the father checking off on the census? What is Nipsey checking off on the census?You see the difference between question 8 and 9. Why do Black, African-American or Negroes have one category?
Biracial as bi-racial: bi, meaning two, and racial relating to race.
The meaning being of two races regardless of what the races are.
Race flattens White, Asian, and Black. ADOS seeks to upend flat Blackness in favor of lineage/genealogy.
As for the example pics:
I can find many people that look similar to the many different tribes in west and central Africa but aren't west or central African or African at all. The pic above is of a Filipino boy and his mother. They are indigenous to the Philippines and their genetics are Asian, not African.
As for biracials... The prefix "bi" doesn't just mean equal in two parts rather just 2.
3/4 Black isn't wholly Black either rather a mixture of two (or more) different races or biracial/triracial or mixed. Given that, Black people can be biracial.
Race flattens White, Asian, and Black
Stay on topic.

Where did I say the bolded?Biracial as bi-racial: bi, meaning two, and racial relating to race.

If a nikka tells another nikka he sound white or is white washed that would make his soul burn. Attacking a nikka’s blackness is racist no matter who is doing the attacking.
A lot of ppl are hurt because of past experiences so just have disingenuous takes
Breh
1.) That man has a Caucasian mother, grew up up in a Jewish household in Canada, and has a white baby mom's and child. Why y'all continue to pretend that he is some thorough n---- is beyond me. That one-drop rule has to expire at some point.
2.) Several of us suburban breh's on the board probably were told that we 'spoke white' growing up, and I thought (and still think) that they were simply being ignorant. But I NEVER would consider it racist, especially when there is so much actual racism going on.
