While this may be true, in the system of white supremacy it is a TERRIBLE IDEA. The idea of "naming yourself whatever you want" will only lead to further division and weakening of the black community. Just the a look at the hilarious racial classification system going on in Brazil is example of mass skin tone confusion perpetuated by a system of white supremacy. Don't you buffoons realize that all these racial classification still end up with whites at the apex? Focusing on skin tones is a trick the white man put upon melanated people to put them in a state of confusion. Its patently obvious by the circuitous arguments in this thread that the white man is still winning.
I personally believe the census should be simply black, white, or other.
I agree with everything you say here. I was just saying I'm not gonna argue with someone over their race because the idea of race itself has no basis in factual reality.
