I typically use south america as a marker on how the future will be for them. I figure in another cpl generations they'll be like the mexicans, ricans and brazilians. No longer using race as a marker and just calling themselves a nationality. A mexican doesn't say "biracial" he just says mexican.
No, what I am confused about is why AA are so divided when it comes to mixed people. Not sure how it is exactly in the States but where I live people are just mixed/biracial and that is the end of it. I never call my mixed friends black because they are both of white and black ( white+black biracials of course).
Idiotif you consider yourself black or white then you already lost
Both my parents are form Africa but even my great great Grandfather was Portuguese.Only my African brehs can claim 100% black anyway. No cac or Ching Ching or camel jockey blood running through these veins.
I think i grasp what you're implying about reclassifying our beauty/appearance standards, but do you think you could perhaps elaborate? Just to make it clear what you're getting at?
Happily derail a thread with pertinent discussion breh.
Im 200% with you on the danger of colorism and a schism in the people.
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.
If most people i knew adopted Wayne's " Bet that bytch look better red" line of thought, i'd probably cop to your hardline stance.
But most people i know(of color) pegged that nikka as stupid way back, and brushed off the shamefulness of that line.
Call a light skin broad beautiful, as long as you can also recognize the beauty in a brown skin chick as well. When it becomes either or, is when i say dudes lost the plot.
My mom is black/Native American
Dad is black/Korean/white
I'm black
I'm not dating I don't embrace but just cause I'm light skin don't make me black or I can't be proud of being black or I can't be "pro black" whatever the fukk that meansno, actually your black, native american, korean and white
I know you can call yourself whatever you want but ? be proud of who you are. and embrace all parts of you.
I can understand the fear of that deriding and ultimately destroying the self-esteem of many black girls, but many of the most beautiful women in America had work done regardless of their parentage.
Ie, the game is fukked regardless.
And like i said before, Europeans don't have a monopoly on thin noses.
Nor do the oriental asians hold the papers on epicanthal folds.
If the only image of Africa we swallow is wider noses and huge lips, then it's ultimately our fault we allow ourselves to be boxed in.
Nothing is wrong with wide noses and full lips, but Africa holds the most diversity of the human genome in the world.
Thin lips, thin noses, pug noses, full lips, "chinky" eyes, high foreheads, low sloping brows, closely spaced eyes, wide spaced eyes, etc. All rooted in the soil.
