Why do some black people claim obviously mixed people as black?

[IllmaticDelta]

what is this supposed prove? everyone knows nikkas in the entertainment industry are tap dancing mammies and Toms and have been making up mixed linage to appear more marketable/mainstream to conkey casting agents in Hollywood and fanbase for atleast a centurythese ancestry/genealogy scams must have been seen as a blessing for Hollywood crossover negros and another check

so basically you're going to deny and make conspiracy claims every time you have no counter for stone cold facts? Like I said, I can come with examples all day by celebs and even avg people. Running away from and denying the facts is a lost cause for you

how many people here don't have clear admx @ the OP

Those people could pass for 100% Africans imo. Some people from my ethnic group look like them and they are 100% African.

Please do not dap my posts for future reference. Thanks.

Perhaps the problem lies with us even listening to what the snow monkey's have to say as if it is fact. We dont need to listen to anything cacs have to say anymore, thats the problem.

my point exactly..thankfully as far as this topic is concerned the vast majority of blacks in the real world have common sense and are not swayed/buying into the iceape's pseudo science

so you going to pretend these genealogy/ancestry scams are credible and the Eurocentic cacs whom administer them don't have a history of fabricating Caucaszoid bloodlines in black people I.E.

Thats like saying Victor Oladipo can pass as AA because "some" resemble him but that some is a minority. Of course, there is tons of overlap but there are phenotypes that do not overlap.

Did you miss my point about Aframs knowing their genealogy and acknowledgment/claims of white ancestors prior to modern DNA/Ancestry testing?

@ 1:13 is the most common case...knowing you have the admx but often not knowing the names of the source

I'll assume that they're also the minority in the AA population too, unless you're saying that the majority of AAs look like the people posted- excluding the 3rd picture, of course.

.

I purposely posted people who didn't diverge that much from "pure" Africans but with light eyes and/or medium complexions, one with a lighter parent and one biracial to see what the op considered "non-black" features.

Is it because they are attracted to none black features but are ashamed to admit it?

There isn't a majority look for AAs but there are WAYYYYYY more TI, Jay Z, Will Smith looking AA men than there are Victor Oladipo, Hakeem Olajuwon, DIkembe Mutumbo types. Its frankly not even close.

Oh ok then, my mistake.

Imo, people who have less than 70% African heritage shouldn't be considered black. I understand you lot's history an' all but you need to come together and renegotiate on who should be considered black and who shouldn't. In order to regroup and start building yourselves up again, you need to first identify who actually belongs in that group. Just my 2 pence so don't take it too seriously.

Ok, I'll take your opinion for it as I'm not an American, nor do I live in America. I was only highlighting Africa's phenotypic diversity.

 

[Poitier]

I'll side with AAs, Biracial or "less than 70%", before I ever side with foreign Blacks.

The point isn't Africa's phenotype diversity, everyone knows that.

Highlighting Tuaregs or any of West Africa's nomadic tribes and Xhosa has nothing to do with AAs being lightskin so I don't know why it is brought up and even lightskin Igbos do not look like AA biracials on average and quite frankly are not nearly as large a percentage of their tribe.

Do you have less than 70% African ancestry?

you can be 70% white and look "black"

In this picture alone, you have someone that is like 60% white and you can't tell

same here



and here too

The group is already defined
