Roughly 1 in 5 Black children in the US under 5 are mixed per CDC data; varies regionally

‘One-drop rule’ persists (phenotypical one dropping)




http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2010/12/‘one-drop-rule’-persists/


That buffer caste system only works when you don't have any monoracial (meaning, two parents who identify as "black") people who overlap with you phenotypically. The ones who look "white" and see themselves as such, will just blend with white people.

Lol.If u say so. Old study too.

The crazy thing is multi-generationally mixed black people look phenotypically more white than biracials. Now that I think about it, they probably have more white blood, but come from two parents that identify socially/culturally as black. And yet, multi-generationally mixed black people don't have the same identity issues that biracials have.

According to the Coli mixed women only fukk with white guys. But like most things the situation is the complete opposite, it’s mixed men with white women.

eh it's relative.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

But then, at the end of the day, you find yourself amongst ACTUAL Black people who look nothing but and have truly lived the experience…


Shyt becomes awkward asf real quick…and you realize, once again, that you’re a fraud who should stop pretending…

Eh, it depends. I got blood relatives that are literally butter pecan lite and some that are blue black. They all have the negro experience TRUST me. Not speaking for your experience or anyone else's, just my observations in my family and surroundings. I'm also in a majority black city, where "blackness" is actually quite fluid. So much so that there's black-passing/adjacent Arabs and Latinos.

Almost 10 years before that study, multiracial were thinking like you, only to realize, as that 2015 study showed, nothing had changed as far as a "mixed movement" goes.

As long as visual One Dropping exists, what one identifies as isn't going to make any difference vs what they look like and how they're perceived racially speaking

“It’s not unreasonable to imagine that if people keep intermarrying, if they define themselves as white and they are accepted as white, the definition of white in 2052 could be much different than it is in 2022,” said Ellis Monk, an associate sociology professor at Harvard University who has studied the way official racial categories can be misleading.But Monk emphasized that he and other people with dark skin or other distinctive racial features continue to face discrimination and reduced opportunities, even if they identify as more than one race. Monk is Black, and like most African Americans he has white forebears, but he doesn’t consider himself to be biracial.
“It’s not what your ancestry is, it’s what you look like. That’s how discrimination happens,” said Nancy López, director of the Institute for the Study of “Race” and Social Justice at the University of New Mexico. López said her group puts the word “race” in quotes to emphasize that race is a shifting concept based more on social norms than biology.

For some people, identifying themselves as more than one race matters little if Americans tend to put people in either the “Black” or “white” categories. Former President Barack Obama, who has a white mother though he identifies as Black, has described being mistaken for a waiter or parking valet before he was famous.
“I am a white woman who married a Black man and had a Black baby,” said Amanda Lewis, a sociologist who runs the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
“That’s the way others see her. That’s the way we think of her,” Lewis said of her daughter. “The opposite doesn’t happen. Instead of trying to make white people more comfortable, we need to embrace the multiracial democracy we’ve become.”

Multiracial Residents Are Changing the Face of the US • Stateline

The number of Americans who identified as more than one race nearly doubled to 13.5 million people between 2010 and 2020, and did double or more in 34 states and the District of Columbia, a Stateline analysis of census figures shows. To some observers, the increase in the number of Americans...

and that's exactly why we'll never see a "Mixed race" caste in the USA over black/white biracials being absorbed by monoracial blacks and monoracial whites. Too many "monoracial" blacks that overlap with them which will continue the trend of them (biracial blacks/whites) being seen as "black"

Mixed couples having babies is the exception at 10%, that was interesting to me.

1st gen mixies don't rock with other 1st gen mixies

These aren't even the black identified passe blancs. Folks like Allison Davis, a Chicago descendant of DC's Wormley-Syphax-Cook and Detroit Stubb Families.

When you have folks like this that proudly proclaim they're black (and Allison Davis is very pro-black) it's a hard sell for biracials to try to carve out a separate space based on the binary nature of their race when there are many multi-gen black folks who have higher percentages of whiteness than they do.

People don't view blackness in this way, and I'm not sure if it's correct to do so, but to me, it's a lot like the Hispanic designation. You can be a white, brown, or black Hispanic but what unites is the culture. I viewed blackness sort of the same way. We got all these hues, from light bright damn near white all the way down to dark brown, but what unites is the shared cultural experience based on being descendants of slaves.

It's a culture. Most of these people have goofy CAC parents raising them to be goofy lost biracials.

Unlike black people who phonetically look mixed who usually come from strong black, albeit possibly c00nish, families.

Definitely bookmarking this thread because I told insecure azz niqqas on here that mixed women date dark skin black men in the Midwest and south idk where niqqas get the idea that mixed women date white men most of the time I guarantee you if you take out the west coast the number nationally would look similar to Georgia 70% in the Midwest and south

 

[King Sun]

15% of births from Black men fathers and 9% of births

 

[BaileyPark31]

I'm on the east coast but I see the majority of half black people with other monoracial black partners. I'd say 75% vs 25%

Valerie Jarrett's father, James Bowman, was a medical geneticist at U Chicago and often wrote about how Black Americans were defined by "hypodescent" which is the technical term for the one drop rule. He did a lot of work on the genetics of Black America, particularly sickle cell and G6PD disorders, and was a forerunner of a lot of these genetic ancestry of Black American tests which unfortunately he did not have the tech for when he was researching.

My grandfather was a pathologist with the UofC and studied under Dr. Bowman who was a mentor and later colleague. Knew him as a pathologist, not as a geneticist, so this is enlightening.
