true true... funny now that i'm preggo it's becoming real. i think i'd be seriously pissed if my child choose to rep one over the other.
if it's boy, you'll raise him as mixed. if it's a girl, she'll be black.
they do that "Rainman" fool is just SALTY as fukk and bitter towards black chicks with White men so he'd never admit she's sexy as shyt.
I remember having an argument with you and I pretty much said the exact same thing as you only I said if a Black person who is mixed wants to identify as mixed than that is their right, but their skin color is black and mostly black and you disagreed with me
My question to you is, if you are thinking about it in those words and you are saying if a mixed person looks as white as that child than he is mostly white, do you hold that same opinion for people who are mixed who happen to be mostly black? How black do they have to look in order to pass as black
judging from previous comments, you'll raise him/her as black
edit: actually
It affects men and women differently.
I obviously don't think that white kid is black, I am just wondering how black you have to look to be considered black in your eyes... So Obama's kids are what you're using as the standard for blackness?If this kid is black, Obama's kids are white.
Michelle must be so proud to be raising these beautiful white girls.
agreed we really do ourselves a "disservice" by excepting them as black. they don't hear us tho. (i'm not talking about muticultural black folks either. shyt i'm muticulural as are MOST blacks) i'm talking about BIRACIALS....that have one straight up one "other" parent. they are their OWN group and should be treated as such.Naw I don't know about him, but I don't identify paula as a black woman, but the self ether is real that black women count her as one. This is why I know black people are apprehensive about biracials identifying as such. We subconsciously acknowledge that they are afforded opportunities in society that us monoracial brothers and sisters aren't afforded.
Black women lose points in the standards of beauty and black men lose points in politics and business(if you haven't noticed all the prominent black leadership is hella whitewashed)
If you put Paula Patton in her group as a biracial women she doesn't even register. When you got Halle and Gugu Mbatha Raw
she doesn't even register.
Check it.
If you hadn't noticed most of the prominent black woman news casters on liberal stations are in fact biracial. Suzanne Malveoux's father one of the most prominent "black" physicians out there.
There's levels to this shyt brehs.
nah i'll raise both(boy or girl) to accept and claim BOTH despite what the world may try to box them in as.judging from previous comments, you'll raise him/her as black
edit: actually
I think you misunderstood my question... I am asking, as mixed children, should they identify as black just like how Robin Thicke's child is basically white?No they are 75% black. If they identified as mixed it wouldn't be incorrect. But that's at best. They can't go around calling themselves white.
Are you biracial? Oh and congratulations on your pregnancy... Just saw that...
