What if cacs made an attempt at claiming mixed ppl?

[Tommy Knocks]

White people have a huge population. Mulattos haven't contributed to White history extensively. And the overwhelming majority of White people don't have families of White and darker Whites.

If you're not talking about admixture then we are in agreement. I made it clear Biracial is Biracial but Beyonce is Black. Afro-Latinos, East Africans, etc are Black.

Oh ok. then we must be agreeing but just misreading because for a second I thought you were saying that without mulatto accomplishments we arent shyt and our history is diminished...I was about to fukking say....

Of course we can't take admixtures out, the african diaspora is nothing but admixtures at this point. lol. That doesnt mean we can't begin to identify OURSELVES now. I'm tired of going by 'massas' identification of us (what I look like following that, esp when I know mixed folks get treated diff than black folks pfftt). We are our own voice now, and can draw our own line. This is why I said "I go by the 50% drop rule". A direct defiance of the old rule.

So where is the line drawn between biricial and just a lightskinned black person? Since Beyonce is creole.. if we go by what Tommy says than she's biricial... Which is what Im trying to explain to him... that it's not so cut and dry. The white in my bloodline occurred during the period where romans ran Morocco... let's get real that was literally a thousand years ago.. but I'm lighter than a motherfukka and came from a brownskinned momma.

I still want to know what you mean by this post? Are your trini and Jamdown friends mixed? That would be only way this post makes any kind of sense.

of course they'd be mixed somewhere along the line but look black as anyone.

Breh how could you have thought he said without mulatto accomplishments black people ain't shyt even for a second? How did you infer that? You still don't beleive you might have a complex?

You just don't get it.

You're admixture. Your Black. Tommy is saying if your half and half then you're White (Obama) which is fair

I will say that Biracials, even if they are different, have a place in our history and culture much more than Whites.

What's there not to get? They are mixed... the answer was yes.

 

[Chesirecatdaddy]

The biracials of yesteryear are the admixtures of today no?

I don't think you understand the difference between having White blood that is a few generations back and having a parent that is White. No way can you argue that it's the same thing. Maybe the phenotype is similar but culturally, having a White parent, or any other non-Black race, is important to note.

No, the admixtures of today are the descendants of those Biracials.

I was never arguing that though... As a matter of fact in a previous post I was saying that they are different they are two different races.
I was arguing against the fact that if someone looked more like another race due to genetics in his lineage that he was no longer black.

because then you have this. accept you'll have 15 times more.

imagine if the native americans allowed that (this is why they drew a line). cacs would jump on that casino money overnight. You have to set standards, that is what I think the black community should do in regards to the biracial folks, this is why I gave the Halle Berry example. It's beginning to take a toll on the black community. Allowing mulattoes to claim, meanwhile we can't find a black lead actress insight. Yall gettin fooled, meanwhile Halle's children are most likely going to claim white ancestry......
