Why do ppl say Cardi is Black?

[Formerly Black Trash]

I've literally never seen anyone say she's black, lol

I didn’t believe it until I saw on twitter

Didn’t know nikkas on here would agree

You can argue anything if u Jules hard enough

She clearly has African DNA in her. But it's whatever. I don't care.

I wouldn't call her Black personally but she definitely has a decent amount of African blood. I've got cousins that come from 2 Black parents that have that same look

 

[Knicksman20]

Both of her parents look like mixed with Black. Cardi is definitely partially Black, and you can tell that just by looking at her.

What it comes down to is do you consider mixed people to be Black. If you're one of those that don't consider mixed people to be considered Black, then she's not. If you do, then she is

The thing I've noticed is a lack of consistency when it comes to Mulattos from the U.S. and Mulattos from Latin America. The latter is not given the same leniency as the former when it comes to being considered Black. But yet, they're both in the same boat.

Good example of this...

Here we have Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Anybody that knows Jeter obviously knows that he's mixed with Black and White, making him a Mulatto. A-Rod is Dominican. And all you have to do is take one look at him and you can tell that racially mixed with Black and White, making him a Mulatto as well.

Yet of the 2, Jeter is the only 1 that is widely considered to be Black. A-Rod is not. Yet both of them are racially mixed. Why is that? What's the difference between a Mulatto from the US and a Mulatto from Latin America If 1 of them is considered to be Black, then the others should be too.

It's the same in Hip-Hop. Latin Mulattos (Cardi B, Fat Joe, Big Pun, etc) are not afforded the same lenience as their American counterparts (Cole, Drake, etc).

I'm just saying, let's keep it consistent

With A-Rod (and a lot of Latinos) I think it's more of a cultural thing because he wasn't raised "Black" yet Jeter had a Black father in his household & was raised as such.

You're clearly Afro Latino yourself & have obvious African ancestry so it's easier for most AA's to identify you not even knowing you also have Latino background. Also you grew up in NYC & lived among us so culturally you're pretty similar & identify with AA's. It's hard for some AA's outside of NYC to understand this dynamic

We don't have the same history nor the same views on race as Latin America. Most of these black Hispanics just started claiming black like two years ago. Either way I think it's the other way around. African Americans claim mixed Hispanics all of the time, but most get pissed if you call an American mulatto black, esp black women.

I've never heard anybody call Jeter or Rodriguez black or mixed for that matter.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

There is a difference between being blac and having African ancestry

Yup

if you ain't "that" then you shouldn't speak on "that"*

Do these folks "look black"?

Congressman GK Butterfield - An African American and a longtime advocate on behalf of civil rights, Butterfield is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and served as its chair from 2015 to 2017.

Congressman Augustus Hawkins - Hawkins was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and served as vice chairman during its first term (1971–1973).

Diane Nash - is an American civil rights activist, and a leader and strategist of the student wing of the Civil Rights Movement.

In Nashville, she was first exposed to the full force of Jim Crow laws and customs and their effect on the lives of Blacks. Nash recounted her experience at the Tennessee State Fair when she had to use the "Colored Women" restroom, signifying the first time she had ever seen and been impacted by segregation signage.

Katherine Johnson - Being handpicked to be one of three black students to integrate West Virginia’s graduate schools is something that many people would consider one of their life’s most notable moments, but it’s just one of several breakthroughs that have marked Katherine Johnson’s long and remarkable life.

Johnson's is an African-American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. manned spaceflights. During her 35-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped the space agency pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks.

She was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson as a lead character in the 2016 film Hidden Figures.

at this post framing this as some long fought battle from Ricans and Dominicans to have their "blackness" acknowledged

Nobody said that Ricans and Dominicans have fought a long ass battle to have their Blackness acknowledged. But the fact remains that many of us are Black (or at least have a significant amount of Blackness in us). So yes, our Blackness should be acknowledged.

And Cardi B is not J. Lo. She has a significant amount of Black in her, more than 17% LOL.

Derek Jeter has a black father. Neither of cardi b’s parents are black

Cardi B is further along in the mixing process than Jeter.

The 1 difference I will say between U.S. Mulattos and Latin American Mulattos is the generation mixing. Latinos have been mixing for longer much than Americans, therefore most Latinos are Multigenerational Mulattos. In America, interracial marriage wasn't even legal in every state until 1967. And even after that, it was still looked at as taboo. It has just now recent within the past 20 years become common practice. So therefore most Mulattos within the past 50 years are the product of a full black parent and full white parent. Give it more time, and we'll get to the point here like they have been in Latin America were you have 2 mixed people breeding like this...

So will their kids be considered Black

 

[Deafheaven]

Im pretty sure shes called her marriage a interracial relationship at some point so what yall really arguing over?

 

[DoubleClutch]

There’s no comparison between the two

Look at Beyonce parents and then look Cardis

nikkas just claim Cardi because she has that racially ambiguous look but shes not black

True, but that’s only if you know what her parents look like.

Most people will look at Cardi and just assume she’s mixed or black just off the strength of her skin tone and being Dominican

 

[Houston911]

I really wish you clowns would stop trying to claim everyone as black

Nobody in NYC is assuming she is black. Trust and believe she is automatically lumped in with the spanish folks. If you pull someone from the streets out here in the bronx and and point at a Cardi B looking chick, first thing they saying she is spanish not a mixed black girl.
