Bruh, if someone asks you to define "black" then "black can't be in the definition.

"Define a black person"

"Uh uh a dark skinned black person......"

":snoop: at this fukking idiot"

I know what "black" is and how it's defined. The reason that I pose the question to you is because you reject the working definition. You reject what "black" means in this society yet you can't intelligently explain how you would redefine it. What you've just said above isn't a consistent definition. You say that someone who has two parents that descended from slavery is "black". But you say that mixed people aren't black even tho they are direct descendants of slavery. Halle Berry is a descendant of slavery and according to your definition if she got with another biracial person then her kid would be black, but Halle's not black according to you. That's a contradiction. So you've got to work that out bruh. Come up with a consistent definition of black first.

lol @ you skipping over "with predominate african ancestry. in relations to US politics, someone with two parents whom descended from US slavery."

as i told you before, the biracials you are creating with white people in 2015 share no legacy of slavery. they are just as much of the oppressor class as they are black--often times more.

but fukk all that, stop avoiding the question. you said:

Black people for have the power to maintain it you stupid fukk. If we had the power to give or take away "blackness" there wouldn't be many people "black" people left.

answer what this. if black people had the power to "take away blackness," why wouldn't there be many black people left? is it because you self hating negros would claim white if you could? is that why you chose to marry a white woman? trying to take away that blackness? :mjpls:

in america he's considered black. you can choose to view him as non-black. but just know your viewpoint is a MINORITY opinion. according to most americans, whether black or white, he's a BLACK MAN. why? he looks black. black features are typically dominant over white features so most mulatto children favor the black parent, thus they are typically viewed as black by the majority population. not white. and not biracial.

fyi, race is a social construct. no absolutes or certainty. its depends on what place and time you are. for example, obama would not be black in brazil. or Africa. or maybe even parts of Europe. in America, however, he's black. PERIOD.
The reason biracials are generally viewed as black in America is because of social reasons, not that they look more black (most features are actually split down the middle)

The standards for being considered white based off appearance are stricter than for appearing black due to racism

assuming your black (which is debatable) are you going to scream "b-but race isn't real :damn: " if/when shyt hits the fan?

race is real in how it affects our lives and how people perceive it. however, its not real in an absolute sense. for example, there is absolutely no genetic marker for race. there are genetic markers for affinity in terms of genetic relation. and in many cases that coincides with phenotypical similarity. however, that isn't always the case.

the best example will always be the Admanese Islanders. They are a small seculded tribe of people who live in a chain of islands off the coast of the India. Genetically they are most closesly related to asians. particularly those on the indian subcontinent. but in terms of phenotype they look Africa. or more exactly, very close to the black african phenotype.




so are these people black? in terms of phenotype they definitely look black. and if you put them in modern american clothes and put them in the streets of NYC, they would get treated black. HOWEVER, genetically they are about as far from africans as you can get and they are geneticaly most closesly related to asians.


this is why we call race a social construct. there is no scientific basis for it. as humans we just use it as a shorthand to assign closeness in relation. it works most times. but like all non-scientific methods, its not foolproof. its simply another short-hand form of human behavior. just like all other forms of discrimination.

i dont understand this ideology. i want to keep blackness centralized around black people. turning to a mixed mutt hut like brazil is exactly what i want to avoid.

look, man, i'm not concerned witht any group outside of african americans. you finding outliers and exceptions to justify procreating with non-blacks, and hailing the biracial offspring as the best we have to offer is a dead end. i want to preserve our genetics, our culture, and everything that makes us unique. you can't do that when you're claiming any and everyone to the point you've got WHITE people as the face of the black community.

If it's not that big of a deal, why did he write a whole excerpt about an alleged racial hate crime in his book?
If it's not that big of a deal why is he going through a twitter meltdown right now? Why is he acknowledging it?
If it's not that big of a deal, why did he block me?
If it's not that big of a deal, why did he throw his own mother under the bus?
If it's not that big of a deal, why did he threaten to sue his ex classmate for slander?
If it's not that big of a deal, why did he say he was black multiple times on his twitter to legitimize his position as a BLM organizer?
If it's not that big of a deal, why did he use the black church to boost his funding and career?

I meant for you, not for him. Obviously he cares about this alot. But the average person shouldn't give two shyts. The only people who should care are those close to him who he decieved and whoever he took the scholarship from. other than that, why do you care?

why do you care so much? like why does whether he's white or not even matter to you? other than for the scholarship part (which would be a bad look IMO cause he's stealing money that shoulda gone to an actual black kid), what he really is should not matter one iota to anyone outside of those close to him.

like i said, if homeboy was going around demeaning black folks and black interests you'd have a point to hold his feet to the fire. from everything i've gathered it seems dude is a positive influence to black interests. thus whatever the truth is here should be irrelvant. like i literally don't care whether his momma creeped on his pops and he's 35% black or he's a complete liar. this issue is completely insignificant.

I care so much because 1) the scholarship. Nuff said there. and 2) if he NEEDS to reveal his whiteness...say, when he's pulled over for a busted taillight or for not using a turn signal...he can then SWITCH....

It's the same sentiment that Paul Mooney so eloquently explained...."everybody wanna be a nikka but don't nobody wanna be a nikka", he has the very inauthentic ability to SWITCH to white because that is what he is, when the mood or the circumstance suits him. Just be who you are. Don't be someone else. And, if people misrepresenting who they are isn't an issue for you then I have a bridge to Siberia to sell you.
