The politics involved in dating intra-racially.

[Illuminatos]

I never got that "I want my child to look like me" argument as an excuse for dating a black women makes no sense to me. If the child is really yours then it's going to look like you.

Or are you going to tell me Doc Rivers son doesn't look like him because they aren't the same skin color?

Even the daughter looks like Doc

African ancestry begins with your African ancestor. It seems as if you have a problem with the concept of race. You keep talking about percentages, mixes, and all of that but being mixed and black has never been mutually exclusive. A person with one white and one black parent has always been considered black. Yes, Halle Berry's daughter is "black" because she has African ancestry. You're trying use your personal opinions/rules concerning race and apply it to society. It doesn't work that way. You don't get to make up your own definition for what "black" means.

I don't agree with the idea that black is only good when mixed with white or something else either, but I don't see what that has to do with this particular issue. White people are racist, what else is new? Of course their going to give ligher skinned blacks preferential treatment over darker skinned blacks, that's how the system of white supremacy works. This isn't new, they were doing this during slavery. Again, the way to overcome their racism is to unite together. You still haven't explained how excluding people like Brack Obama from being black helps other black people. Imagine if Obama denied being black and went with that mixed bullshyt? He'd look like an idiot to both blacks and whites. White people know good and damn well that his mother is white. Do you honestly think that all of the whites who call him ******, monkey, and every other anti-black slur under the sun aren't aware that he's technically bi-racial?

If you have non blacks in your family, then you're own logic then you're not black either. Going by your "mixed people aren't black" logic, blacks are probably about 3% of the US population instead of 13%.

This is what I don't understand. Lol We are the richest/smartest nation to ever exist in the world yet we are the only country that does not recognize mixed raced heritage.

And you do what a lot of people do who get offended by this. There's a difference between antebellum lust/rape and having a non-black parent. Why can't that distinction be made? Every other country gets this right. Non-black parent = mixed. A lot of these problems that exist is that you don't need black people to actually make black people.

2 chinese = chinese

2 white = white

half chinese + half white = black.

Also your little point about how Barack is perceived is an even larger point. How do you think we got into this mess? By white people creating the terms of our race. Here we are today still allowing white people to determine our race. When does it end? After reading what you wrote that's the hangup. You still believe in the one drop rule which is problematic to me.

Yeh his kid looks like him now but he's facing one more generation of intermixing and he's erased literally. But you said it yourself. You don't want that as an excuse to date black women. My legacy being left alone in the hands of blackness is important to me. People can do them

Stopped reading right here. You're trying to walk before you can crawl. If you don't understand simple shyt then you have no hope of understanding complicated issues. I'll say it again because I've said it countless times here. The term "black" is not meant to classify only people who are completely of African descent. You can be mixed of heritage and "black" at the same time. This isn't new, it's always been this way. Most socalled "black" people in this country are of mixed heritage to one extent or another. It's the same for whites, a lot of whites have mixed heritage. What part of that don't you understand? There's no need to continue on until we can agree on what the concept of race is in our society. Not what you want it to be, but what it actually is.
