No, but I have family that do and quite frankly even non-blood AAs whose ancestry is tied to this land is my family, mixed or not. That will never be broken because of some dumb conception of Blackness.
Why do some black people claim obviously mixed people as black?

Fair enough if that's how you choose to define yourselves, it's not really any of my business as I'm not an American. Btw, you can be mixed race and look more like one parent's race than the other. I know a girl who is mixed race and she looks like a white woman, however, she'll never deny that she's mixed race. It's probably the same for the people you posted above.

No offence, but it's not really dumb if the majority of black people in the world adhere to it, is it? That's a rather ignorant opinion. From your post, I can understand that this matter is a very delicate one for you but do try to be civil.
Is Jidenna Igbo or Nigerian
He is Igbo but he is mixed race. In Nigeria, they would probably call him 'half-caste' or even 'white', in some parts.
Blackness does not matter when we share the same tribe. You seem to get it in this instance.

Lmao why?
It kind of does. He's not too removed from his blackness/'Igboness' so most people will accept him. The problem arises when/if he has children with a white/non-Igbo woman as many will not consider their kids Igbo, even though they 'technically' are. It's the reason why many of our men are encouraged to marry within the tribe.
why would i
I don't see many quadroons in the US to care

a 70% "white", afram/biracial will have a better grasp of aframs/same view point/agenda when compared to a foreign black who comes from an entirely other historical context.

So you do think that there is a cut off to one's race and/or ethnicity?
No, i don't think there is any sensible fool proof logic for race and/or ethnicity outside of having the basic phenotypes and/or ancestry
Fair enough.
