Obama is black, race is a social construct. He identifies himself with black experience in america. End of the fukking story.

if race is just a social construct, why identify as any one particular race? isn't he just apart of the "human race"

marcuz I was just starting to get behind your ideology too

Its crazy how a possible pro-active thread can quickly be littered with utter bullshyt

You are aware that most blacks a nice amount of European DNA in them right.

That may be true but this is what I mean by the simplifying of a complex issue. Someone with a non-black parent or grandparent will most likely have different experiences then the average AA with 17th century rape blood.

Most blacks as black including African blacks?

Revisit the "most" word you used there.

FAIL

Eat a dikk fun boy.

Obviously I was talking about Black Americans.

Because we live in a social world where people like to split themselves into groups? You are not even making sense.

 

[marcuz]

So what does that matter? Don't ignore the post where I said that race is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. There are no guidelines for what you want to declare your race as especially in america. I don't subscribe to your thoughts on race because it's both wrong and ignorant.

so how is obama even socially white if he was raised by white parents and lived in white communities? if it were that easy for a black woman to produce a president, we would have had one by now.

So are light skinned black people black?

are talking about?

 

[Gifted one]

So what is considered black then? African Americans and Afro Caribbeans aren't considered black due to the mixing in their ancestry? Just trying to see some of the coli logic

@marcuz Lets test your stance here.


On paper i'm half black...but I was culturally raised black, claim black at all times, even when times are bad and the woman I plan on building a future with is black. I keep my talents, my seed and my resources within the black community. Sorry to tell you but many men and women who are considered black pioneers have a background similar to mine.



What exactly are you looking for?

He is doing the same exact thing whites did with the one drop rule. Being black is a crap shoot, there is no genotype for being black, it's just your roots and whether or not they trace back to Subsaharan Africa (and if you claim it and you down for it). That's why I laugh at the stupidity cause my Dad was African American and even lighter than Obama but nobody could tell him he wasn't black.

you didn't really test my stance. a lot of bi-racials have gone hard for the black race, and you can identify yourself however you please.

@DarlingNikki, you back ma?

@IGSaint12 kermit is a fraud. check his post history. He's mixed.

 

[marcuz]

like i said, if i mixed red and green together is it still red? can one of you stop dancing around that question and answer it?

Like honestly bro. I don't want to insult you man but you really must have studied at the @Ronnie Lott schoolhouse for negros..

Someone who is lightskinned like Michael Ealy or Beyonce won't have the same experiences as someone like Obama or Paula Patton or Halle Berry because their family makeup is completely different. How hard is that to understand? I'm not denying their blackness and what you just did is 100% the reason why people automatically equate light skin = mixed raced. They are entirely different things.
