According to this thread every African American in the United States can't really call themselves "Black"


Would love to hear these silly ass arguments play out in real life

You are in the minority. Even in the Americas. Majority of the world does not follow the one drop rule.

I don't know if anyone nailed this yet, but can someone spell out in the simplest of terms what constitutes a "black person"?

according to some lab coats drose is so african he has a special gene that increases the speed his body can heal itself from injury

Exactly. In America two non-black people can make black people.

Asian + white = black

Black + white = black

Black + black = every other race combined.

Asian and white makinga black child? Can I see this story?

who the fukk is talkin bout the one drop rule? all we are talkin bout is people who have KNOWN black ancestors. you know fathers, mother, grandparents

the majority of this thread has been you trying to argue that people with black parents or grandparents aren't black. Not about some distant black relative from centuries ago. If that was the case then the one drop rule would mean EVERY HUMAN BEING is black because if we go far enough back in time, everyone's most distant ancestor was a black African.

I wasn't talking about people with non-black ancestors from 300 years ago.

he was being sarcastic

there's no universal definition of blackness that has been agreed upon and this is why there are constant discussions and debates regarding who is and who isn't black

 

[emoney]

anyone who woulda been called a n*gger in Jim Crow America or woulda been sold as a slave

so were back to white people dictating blackness now?
