Frederick Douglass Isn't Black

[Hybrinetics]

Tell that to the biracials who don't identify as black

Cant help brainwashed individuals

Technically he wasn't...his father was white...his mother was black

Technically he wasn't...his father was white...his mother was black

But someone said the father was the one that determines this. So is Frederick in, according to some in the Coli, or is he out

 

[filial_piety]

the point is, what % makes you fully black? 100%? if that's the case then pretty much no one in America is fully black

that one drop rule can work both ways if we were to try to alienate or exclude people with an arbitrary % of white blood, damn near every nikka in America got some white blood in em somewhere down the line...is 51% black fully black? is 51% white fully white?

it's a wholly counterproductive and unnecessary train of thought that doesn't really serve any purpose outside of division and disdain in the community

I think a lot of you over complicate the issue.

If you're more than 50% black....then obviously that is what the majority of your genetics are. It's not a question of being "full blooded", but you nikkas are trying to steer away from the obvious fallacy that someone who is 1/10th black and 9/10ths white is the same as the reverse.

According to members of the Coli.

Mr. Douglas could very well be all black. When he was a child he said there were rumors that his father was the plantation owner and he went with that becuase he liked the narrative. I'm sure it sounded good in the white circles he was around as he got older. "Hey I'm one of you guys too."
He sure looks like he has two black parents.

He married a white woman.... He's out

Coli logic :

A. Biracial breh does good : "Black Excellence()!!!!!!!"
B. Biracial breh does bad : "fukk that mutt/half-breed/"

Basically what every community does with minorities.

Pretty much. Don't forget the "I don't want biracials representing me" when you can think of shyt-tons of biracials who were actually
about that life, while we pontificate over a message board. Let's not forget the non-blacks (Che Guevara) who was labeled racist in a thread
and forced the hands of a few people to drop knowledge on just how much more he did to help black causes than many of us ever could.

He married a white woman.... He's out

He killed the white pum-pum and destroyed his own legacy. Tragic.

This. I think that story was cooked up to add a little bit of protection for himself.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

disagree, all depends on ones individual experience. we have plenty of biracials that look, think, act just like white folks.

And we got plenty of dark skinned c00ns who try to look, think, and act just like white folks

I think we need to define some words here.

Aftican. People from Africa. A person with no white ancestors can be said to be 100% African.

Black. People with African ancestry. In America this is means any visible sign. We talk about percentages, but your percent of European doesn't "count" enough to change your category until it's enough to make you look totally white.

So you have 100% Africans and you have Black people which are 99.9% to ???% African. Even for the person that can pass as white. Let your ass show up with your obviously black grandma around other whites. You'll lose your white card real fast.

And again: the splitting hairs about percentages only leads to smart dumb niqqa convos. If there is some kind of dividing line it should be 100% African. In which case most of us (American Blacks) would be disqualified.

The Malcolm was mixed then?

 

[LadySimone]

Black American doesn't equal pure African. If your family came through slavery then you have something besides African in your lineage - most likely.

What is the point of limiting who can be called Black? 75% African is still MIXED. If you're being techical it should 50% plus, but what's the real difference between 48% African and 51%? The attempt to quantify something like that ends in stupidity.

In America being Black means basically "not fully white". If you have any features that identify you as Black then Congratulations: your ass is black.

Tell em what they've won: a lifetime of being followed around stores. Niqqas acting like there's a prize of some sort.

No one is talking about being pure African but being black as we politically socially and yes, genetically understand it. My mixed ancestry does not mean I can get bone marrow from Becky of Bob.

And it's ironic that Blacks in America have made more progress with their rights compared to their south american counterparts due to the fact that American culture didn't try to divide mixed people and those who had more african descent. By doing that the collective power of blacks was greater than if there was some sort of racial divide over dark skinned vs light skinned.

Ah I don't think so. Mixed race people didn't give us a boost. Blacks, where we have historically lived in the south, were always a majority. Its the political culture in America that has won us rights our cousins in South America didn't have.
