Thandie Newton: "All My Career, I’ve Felt Like To Black People, I’m Not A Legitimate Black Person"

[Speaking Womanese]

I'm not in that crowd. I accept mixed people who identify as Black as Black--as does 90% of American Blacks in the real world. I was just puzzled by a mixed Black person claiming they have to prove themselves to US Blacks, your examples (minus Malcolm, his mom was mixed) prove we don't give a crap about that in general. UK is another story as @Speaking Womanese points out

Thandie isn’t being honest about why she feels different.

She’s mixed and identifies as black because white people reminded her she wasn’t white. She treats blackness like an old coat she was forced to wear everyday and we can see through her shyt.

A woman comfortable with her blackness doesn’t need a co-sign from nobody.

Malcolm would be classed as Black-Brit but the average black man wouldn’t see him as black because he was light.

As contradictory as it sounds, black men form like Power Rangers to protect their image and won’t co-sign a light-skinned man unless he’s from their block or they’re profiting off of him. They’re a funny bunch.

So since y’all shytting on every mixed black person. Halle Berry not black either right? Bob Marley not black either huh? Obama not black? Frederick Douglas not black? Malcolm X not black? J Cole not black? Shall I continue? To me. If someone is mulatto and identifies more with being black. How the fukk imma tell them that they AINT black?. It’s them confused ones that’s dangerous.

I personally don't shyt on mixed people and considering the history of Black folks in America what Tandy says makes no damn sense!! Black Americans go out of our damn way to include everyone as black. I remember in the 80's when racially ambiguous people would show up on TV older black folks were always like "you know he black right. Jet magazine says the great great grandmother on his mama's side is black".

You couldn't tell nikkas that Paula Abdul wasn't black lol.
Black folks can't wait to point out that Lenny Kravitz or Slash from Guns N Roses got a black momma.
We never rejected Tandy or any other bi-racials. Let's not talk about how nikkas flocked to Obama.

She may not be looked at as "down with the community" but we never denied her blackness.

malcolm x is not biracial

He’s mixed raced.

 

[AAKing23]

literally every single thing I seen her in she has a white husband or white love interest

Literally the only movie I remember with her where she has a black husband is Crash

 

[shopthatwrecks]

He’s mixed raced.

u listed him among a group of people who have white parents and half their family is nonblack. u also mentioned the people identifying more with being black, when he is simply "more black"

he does not fit your list
