There is a cut of point, to me at least if you're less than half black I wont consider you to be black. Some people in here would try to tell me that Ronda Rousey is black.

I guess i don't see the danger of lighter complected women being seen as black, as black to me covers brown on down the scale.

It's very dangerous to little black girls, because if you start calling this woman below black, and they start thinking that is the standard of black beauty (like Halle), then you have actual black women seeing their features as unacceptable. They start bleaching their skin, getting perms to try to match what they think the world sees as the standard beauty for a black woman. That is wrong, because this person is not black, she is mixed with white. She is biracial and thus her features are not that of a black person. She just shares SOME features. How does it look to tell your dark skin daughter that THIS is a beautiful black woman?

Don't have a problem with them, some of them might be raised on one side and lean on that side more, for example Bob Marley being mixed but talked more about black struggles in his music, (Slave Driver, Crazy Baldheads) I have a white/carib Indian grandmother on my dad side, my grandfather on my dad side was a darkskinned man. My grandparents on my mom side is black /carib Indian, I consider myself as a black man, my skin is brown, hair is kinky I'm too far removed from my european ancestors to claim white. :yeshrug:

Tbh I'm 1/4 white, but I want my kids to not be as black as I am. I want them to be mixed with white (German/Italian/French) or Hispanic like columbian or Brazilian or something. But I don't want to have kids with a black woman.

No offense to black women either, I just don't want to have ugly kids.

brazil has the highest people who are purely black out of any other country besides Nigeria.. and Colombia has a lot of pure blacks also.

I can't even tell if you're trolling b, you don't want ugly kids? black is beautiful. you a brainwashed ass suckah.

Well standards of beauty are unrealistic and damaging any way you put it. Not all cac girls are blonde, blue eyed with big breasts.

I see it like this. Race has a huge social aspect to it. If her social experience was that of a black girl, grew up around black people, referred to as black by other races, how is she not black? She self-identifies with black because culturally in America that's what she is.

Guess who Drake played in Degrassi? The popular black ball player. All his life he was treated as a black man. Yeah genetically, his skin color and hair type is a mix of two ethnic groups, but so what? Malcolm X had a clear white ancestry, would anyone dare say he wasn't black? shyt, he was probably more black than all them dark skinned dudes at the time.

Its not like humans are really genetically separated by categories of skin tone and hair type. Humans decided to classify themselves by those factors. Genetically speaking, Rashida Jones might be closer to that 100% black not one cac blood dude in the middle of Nigeria than u r. So might Ellen DeGeneres. Race is superficial, it's a social construct, therefore we should also look at it through a social lens.
