When did USA officially adopt to say Bi-Racial / Mixed Race?

[Kalik]

Versus saying you were Black / Negro / African America - 1 drop rule?
Can someone point me to the earliest accepted person of mixed race?

Also if it is universally accepted as such, is Obama still considered the 1st African-American president.

Don't neg, Im just asking because on The Coli. It seems if a person is mixed and darkskin they get the black pass, but if mixed and lighter they get outcasted.

Divide and conquer. If they make mixed people feel like they have to choose their black side, it creates more enemies for them to deal with. You have to realize that they consider us their enemies.

what?

 

[Blackking]

at first... being mixed provided some benefits.... so traces of the mentality are perpetuated by cac and ignorant blacks.

what?

I'm assuming this is a question based off a conversation over what Zimmerman's race was in another thread.

I said Zimmerman aint white. He said Zimmerman is white because his father is white. Uhhh but yeah, I don't really know what he's asking in this thread.

Classifying people as "white" is based on how white europeans viewed themselves and others throughout their history of conquering the darker peoples of the earth. It is what it is.

They removed the so called "mulatto negro"choice off the census forms in the 30s if I remember correctly.

white people rarely claim mixed people. i think maybe if a white person says they have a native american great grandma, they can still be seen as white by other whites. other than that, you are anything but white

some black people started out calling zimmerman white, white people nipped that in the bud pretty quickly. one of these three teenagers that allegedly killed the australian looks white, but whites are calling him black too, LOL.

they kinda let that native shyt go, at least around where i'm from, cuz it seems like it makes them less 'evil white' person. they'll still be white, but they are allowed to make up ducktales about the mythological native american grandparent and talk about spirit animals and shyt. while riding around with dream catchers in their windows and whatnot

Not based off that convo exclusively. Based off MANY convos I been on in here.

This was from the Butler "Mariah Carey" scene more than the Zim one, and an article I read on Kapernick from SF where they used "mixed race" throughout article. Vs how Obama is known as Black president

we have a ton of that in the southwest. especially the dreamcatchers hanging off the rear view mirror

I still don't understand why people (in the US, but also all over the world) call Obama "black" when there's like 0 possible ambiguity as to the fact he's mixed.

 

[Liu Kang]

Is "mixed" only for black/white melanges ?
If one is arab/asian, does one qualifies ?

 

[Takerstani]

Everywhere I've lived people Biracial people say:mixed, biracial, and Black/African American interchangeably to self-identify and people identify other people as such,if that person is some kind of Black. White/Asian people say multiracial, biracial, Asian, or 1/2 White 1/2 Asian. I've never heard anyone outside of on television, usually Brits, use "mixed race".

no such thing as mixed. obama is black. either you're black or white.

Zimmerman in all reality is not white. He may be white in the head but when he was born, he was black. People saying "ohhh he's hispanic!". wtf is a Hispanic? How old is the word Hispanic? You telling me that if dude didn't exist prior to this label that he wouldn't be anything? The guy below him is white obviously.
