African Americans embracing their blackness despite color is and always will be an act of resistance to white supremacy, not comparable to Dominicans who seek to disavow their blackness at all costs, as an act of cowardice and submission to the notion of white superiority. The fact that you would compare the two shows just how ignorant you are.
Too bad I can't tell my late great-grandmother who picked 50 pounds of cotton a day to feed her babies, because that was the only opportunity afforded to her as a black woman in the segregated South, how privileged she was because she was very light.
Don't forget, I saw you in that other thread, caping for that darker skinned sister who refused to be called black because she identified as Native.You had no problem postulating that she wasn't black even though she had visible SSA Ancestry and little phenotypical native features. Yet here you are, mad that people with visible European and SSA ancestry would call themselves black.
Which leaves me to believe that you have an issue with your own blackness full-stop. Why else would it bother you so that a biracial or light skinned person would embrace their blackness instead of shun it? Is your husband white? Your kids moolatte? Do you ship Olitz?
I'm just putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
One last time, for real, stop quoting me.
Exactly. Please neg her.
The same nikkas who make these type of posts are the same ones who are always up in the Caribbean, Dominican, Latin American, Haitian, African, Brazilian threads.Why are you still arguing something that has nothing to do with your reality your but everything to do with are history? You dont even live in the states? Again worry about Togoland.
Will yall STOP ENGAGING THIS TROLL!!

The point is that she represents an identifiable portion of Aframs even if she isn't the most avg of averages. The most average of Aframs aren't dark as Don Cheadle, Garnett and Cedric Burnside but that doesn't make them any less of an Afram
.....it just further illustrates the range of phenotypes/shades we come in and regardless of how non-stereoetypical "African" we may look, we will still have our "black" identity
Everyone has a mama/aunt/cousin/grandma/sister that looks just like her
Most Aframs will have some relatives/ancestors who are of the lighter types outside of probably Gullah-Geechee, Aframs and certain rural-deep south parts.
