its amazing that a bi-racial man has become president do u think a black man will ever be?

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

It's because black people are not natural leaders. All you need is a collective group of black media to state: If you have one non-black parent you are not black. Tiger Woods, Obama, Lenny Kravitiz are bi-racial. The mainstream would follow overnight. Literally. People underestimate how sensitive white america is with race issues and how they would follow just about anything the black community asked in terms of categorization (blacks have a voice now and can ID themselves if they want too). If blacks one day just say "we no longer want to be called african american, we want to be black americans" white america would just say "ok". But due to the lack of leadership quality, everyones sitting around on their yes massa, whatever you wanna call us, yea he'sa black just like me cause yousa said so.

In actuality, if you have one non-black parent, you can't be black. Sorry J.Cole, but your german mom can not prepare you for what society is going to throw at you the way a black mother could. I could see if one parent were bi-racial, the other black, because in which case that bi-racial parent can still transfer the knowledge of his/her 1 black parent unto you if there so happens to be a divorce, but with a 50/50 split, no, nah, that's bi-racial.

Spread that shyt.

I just had to screenprint that post, theee most sense ive seen posted on here for a while

I just wanna @GreatestLaker the one drop rule is not only applied in the States, they do it it in Africa too. For example Obama is also considered black in Africa. And he's not an exception or anything.

That's because the cacs in this country labeled him black.

Not that I agree but Obama labeled himself Black

That's actually not true. There is no one drop rule in Africa. In Africa if you're mixed, you're mixed.

Obama is not a black man in Africa.

You can't have a biological non black parent and be black. I'm sorry.

 

[Poitier]

I didn't say he was. You tried to insinuate that Whites created the percept that Obama was Black and not Obama himself. Most mixed people gravitate towards Blacks whether right or wrong.

 

[BlackBieber]

That's actually not true. There is no one drop rule in Africa. In Africa if you're mixed, you're mixed.

Obama is not a black man in Africa.

Dude, I'm from Africa

Like I said, they use the one drop rule in Africa too

And by that I mean even if you're half black or whatever, you're still one of us, you're black. Not saying there's not a distinction but people like Drake and Obama are still considered black.

In South Africa he isn't.

I've met and heard of Africans that don't even consider blacks from the Americas "black", because of their mixed background.

What part of Africa are you from?

@Tommy Knocks mother is from Africa and where she is from they don't have a one drop rule either.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

In South Africa he isn't.

I've met and heard of Africans that don't even consider blacks from the Americas "black", because of their other admixtures.

He's from the same place my mom is from. we speak the same language. I have no idea what he's talking about because I was viewed differently. I mean they embraced me obv, but there was a dash of "outsider" in there, esp when I spoke the language in my american accent. I also look different than my relatives back home.....

My father is mixed, and my moms fam called him that. They view me as black tho.

I suspect dude is a troll.

Most Africans I've met don't consider mixed people as black.

nah dude is coo. he's real. young, but real.

Breh that dude @BlackBieber is obv. confused. ur experience echoes my experiences and talks with Africans. I look African myself (excellence) and chill with them here at the college

Breh they call mixed people half caste in Nigeria and treat them different

Colored in South Africa get treated and labelled different.
I have met Nigerians online who said they don't even consider East Africans like Somali black, and East Africans are native Africans . They talk about the Horn of Africa as though it is some region split off from West and Central

I've never read an African article where they called Obama "black". There's always "otherness". Sometimes they talk about Europeans in better or similar tones to Americans. The Zimbabwean comments I read says Obama is trying to fukk Zimbabwe just like Bush. They relate it to Western white powe

@GreatestLaker I'm not talkin about all of Africa. I'm saying that there is black countries/places around the world outside of the States where mixed people are accepted as black. Where I'm from Obama is black. Of course opinions and experiences differ all around the continent. You go to France and it's the same thing too, mixed people are seen as black.

And Tommy obviously but I'm not talking about place of origin. In Africa, almost everyone is black, so we relate to each other mostly by our nationality. People from Rwanda are black but they're outsiders and viewed as the enemy by a lot of Congolese folks. You're from the States no shyt you'd feel that dash of outsider.

Everything is admixture. Outside of having a non-Black parent, you are Black. End of story.
