Race as an “idea” originated out of American/western capitalism. So our definitions quite frankly set the standard. Doesn’t matter what you believe or any other society for that matter as the modern concept of race sprang forth from the transatlantic slave trade.

No. Racism and the idea of race as we know it today came from Europe, not the US or the Americas.
Nobody gives a shyt what yall Africans consider black
Worry bout yall own shyt and don't comment on AA shyt unless u got something constructive to add
Thread celebrating AA excellence infiltrated by a bunch of snobby ass Africans thinking yall some authority on who is black and who isn't
Ironically it's people like yall that the reason there is so little black unity
That is incorrect.

Who's denying AA excellence? Me? Nope.
I don't think I'm an authority, but I'm expressing my opinion on who's black and who's not, the same way you're doing.
You'll never catch me arguing about who's AA or who's not. Why? Because that's your nation, that's your people and I'm not AA. AA are the only ones that should say anything about who's a member of their groups. The same thing for Haitian, Nigerians, Senegalese, Congolese, etc
However, as a black man, I can gve my opinion on who's black and who's not. The same as you. You don't agree with me? Fine.

Ahh in that case rachel dozal is black seeing as she done stuff for black people,
Have u even done 1% of what she's done for black folk?
Who the fukk is you to determine what's black and what isn't?
Once again, wtf have u done for black people that even comes close to the stand she took during a time Black people were still assaulted or killed just for walking down the street?
The arrogance of random nobodies on the internet is appalling
But hey listen man if u wanna believe people with white skin are black then u do you lmao

Maybe in the 1840’s but not in the 1940’s
Back then she was considered black but if she were around in this day and age, she would have some people denying her race...
it is what it is... opinions change through time.
the one drop rule is no longer a definitive sign of blackness in this century.

Biggest singer in the 40’s = frank sinatra (Italian)
Biggest actor in the 40’s = John Wayne (irish)
I fukks wit you bro but you’re wrong on this one. By the 40’s Irish, Italians etc were assimilated.
She looks even better in this picture
I looked up some of her other pictures. While she was very passable, you can tell in which ones the makeup and lighting accentuate her white features, and which ones she probably had on less make up. In this one she reminds me of my great grandmother.
