Where in this thread are people arguing about mixed people having more or less features that people with 2 black parents ? There are people where you definitely cant tell if they are mixed or have 2 black parents. No question that mixed people feel experience the black experience in America but the difference between having a white parent and 2 black parents is the mixed child will have access to white privilege through their white parent and possibly white wealth
where statistically black people have little to wealth. In Doja Cats case she was raised by her white mother. Would her experiences and upbringing have been the same had she been mixed had a black mother?
People in this thread was saying to be considered black you can't be mixed, when the majority of black american's are mixed especially with white, even if it's 2-3 generations gone. My question was then are we all not "black"? I hear that's how some people outside the country feel.
It seems like people want to say, in order to be black you have to look a certain way otherwise you wont really get the full experience. But you can't just say that because it opens another can of worms.
Also benefiting from white privilege isn't true all the time in mixed children cases. It's probably less than true in most. All these mixed lil kids I see running around with the trailer park trash women and men here have absolutely no privilege to really work with. That white uncle aint trying to hire some mix teenager to take over the family business especially if he considers himself black.
White people don't see them as white, at beast they have the "mixed" kid privilege of "looking exotic". Now in the cases where the white person got some change and connections then yeah... but it's a ton of mixed kids out here that are just every day poverty line kids.
