Is French Montana Black?

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

Morrocans are predominantly berbers and the berbers are "black" by American standards (in regards to the one drop rule) but they're really a mixed group of people.
They're not "caucasian" like the Gulf Arabs are but they aren't "black" like the textbook definition of "black".
That's why we have to understand that when we're discussing the concept of "blackness" in regards to Africa, you see it's purely a European invention and you really start to understand that race is a horseshyt social construct



That being said there is no justification for the "nappy poetic justice braids" comment even if Morrocans are "black" that's clearly colourism.

this is the smartest reply I've read all day

Not "black" by western or Moroccan standards
For those who may be interested in a historical read on race politics in Morocco

His family is original from the agadir area but moved to Casablanca for work. So half lives down south and the other half in casa. And I don't know the exact berber tribe we come from tbh.

Interesting. I forgot the name of the Berber group that its called but he looks like that one.

The energy and brain power devoted to this topic is why black people are losing. We love arguing dumb shyt like this to death.


Social media was one of the worst things to happen for black people.

See you're thinking to linearly. Every topic isn't pointless, as even the most mundane things can teach you something. This topic here should teach all of us that every Black man or woman is not our brother and our sister. If most of us comprehended this, we wouldn't be having this discussion to begin with.

Of Couren Klay & Steff are black. Their parents are obviously black. The Tuareg people are not from the same tribe as the negroes of the diaspora. They have nothing to do with each other. Y'all trying to tie anybody with black skin as a relative of the diaspora

Wait? According to your logic only diasporans represents what is black? Also for you info SOME Tuaregs were in fact taken as slaves to America. Morgan Freeman iirc was partial Tuareg. Not only that but Tuaregs are WEST Africans.

Can anyone define what it means to be black?

I think we should just call people who are almost literally black that way you won't have anymore of this stupidity
black like some Brehs in the South of Sudan or some brehs in Senegal

the rest of us are different shades of brown with varying levels of african features

just like how whites are not all white some are orange pink and beige

can also be black and not african =

alot of brown people Indians and mexicans aren't even brown they have yellow tinges just like the chinese but some of them are actually brown. You've got east asians who have the same skin colour as whites and some who have brown and red skin as well as yellow.

Are the Creole not a mixed people? What makes them different from the mixed north africans?

lol! Excellent point!

This is why I prefer "Afro descent."

Why do some of you fakkits make everything personal?

This is an intellectual debate. My personal identity or preferences are not the topic of discussion. Stay on topic.

Thats Ridehomo for ya. Constantly letting his emotions get in the way of an intellectual debate.

so because he was born in africa and has black friends, that automatically makes it ok to disrespect black people. nah get the fukk outta here.

another foreign fakkit obsessed with black americans

He's not black.

Same here

African-ness is rooted in something tangible and real. We're all of African descent. It encompasses all the subdivisions, phenotypes etc, and recognizes the uniqueness of each culture.
