Well you aren't black or white. You're both. If people can't understand that fukk em.

To go even further, I've thought about this identity thing for the longest and I'd say i'm black, white AND mixed, which is something different in my opinion. For example, knowing you're a minority everywhere in the world.

listen breh, your confused like many half caste brehs out here, due to the confusion whites have bestowed upon the human race. From the confusing nomenclature used to quantify blackness (I.e. Mullatto, quadroon) to the varying rules and regulations that existed for half castes throughout the the modern world.

For instance, it would be possible for a French mullato to be born from a free black mom in France, become and aristocrat and live in relative freedom, but take a ship to the US or South America and get kidnapped, put in chains and forced to work to death.

so with these extremes of worlds that existed due to the construction of the white supremacist mindset. Most of the mullatoes attempted to ingratiate themselves with white people in order to gain more access, inevitably birthing the modern day concept of "c00ning." (And by c00ning I'm referring to the concept postulated by the much reveered MC Nasir Jones)

So due to mullatoes constant attempts to ingratiating themselves to whites, they've as a result been associated with the c00n label. Its unfortunately the case on how this association came about.

I'm reading this very book right now. TRULY AN EXCELLENT WORK!

It boggles my mind to learn how France essentially had it civil rights movement in the 1780's and 90's. :mindblown:

Even though they were a bit hypocritical getting money from slave colonies like St. Domain (modern day Haiti), while at the same time declaring that all men are equal under god and shyt during the revolutionary debates and such.

The book is does an excellent job of describing the achievenments of blacks in the French Revolution, as well as detailing the biographies of #blackexcellence during 18th century Europe.

Yeah it's crazy, but the US was late as hell on Civil Rights and even basic slavery abolition compared to European countries.
