I know this thread is directed to @marcuz because of his strong views on biracials. There's also another poster (forgot his name) that has a biracial parent & a Black parent that wanted to exclude biracials from being called Black as well. He basically said if you're more than 1/4 white, you can't be counted as Black. I think it's a fair question because FD came from a mixed background (slave master rape of course) & the one drop rule was in full effect back then.
I think @Ghost Utmost and @CinnaSlim did the best job at explaining the point i was about to make.

In most countries, mulattoes are mulattoes, period. Simple as that. If you are born to a white father and black mother you are not BLACK nor WHITE. Think i had addressed it in the other thread in this post http://www.thecoli.com/posts/11996396/

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.

Interesting assessment....but what progress can black america when the elite consist mostly of biracials and liflightskinned blacks.

South americans segregate the biracials from the dark blacks...because thry have white privilege Accessed through white patriarchal lineage But even if they were included in the black group...what does it change?

People aren't claiming the tennis playet cause dhe ain't cute but catch feelings about halle berry
OH YEA! :snoop: Thanks for reminding me. I just keep a mental checklist of what some people are saying. It isn't trolls either, I have dapped and
agreed with some of what these people say and then stuff like that gets said and I just don't know how to feel.

We had the thread talking about guys want to claim biracials just to fukk biracial women...so is it ok to claim biracials who put in just as much work if not more
for black causes than the rest of us? Double standards abound, shyt is crazy. I haven't even dropped my opinion on how legislature has factored in on civil
rights because I am sure 99% of people ( that would respond) will expose their smart-dumbness and not give credit to those who even helped us get to
the point we are at here in America, which is a lot better than our ancestors only a few generations removed.

Can't argue seriously on here. Don't get me started on black economics...

This has nothing to do with my statement :what:

It has everything to do with this subject. If half white people are not black but they can produce offspring that ARE black (cause the baby is up to 75% now) what does it even mean to say the half white person wasn't black?

This percentage shyt is meaningless unless the only acceptable percentage is 100%.
