some of y'all are a disgrace to the HUMAN race 
There is a difference between "pro black" and "for equality". Many black leaders are more about equal rights than pro black.

humans like to classify different breeds of animals to specify different traits so why not humans? dont most humans consider themselves animals anyway

this. many of those listed weren't pro-black just pro-equality.what is best for one race's interests isn't best for all or equal.

Man, go sit your ass down somewhere!
It makes absolutely no fukking sense to claim someone isn't pro-black when they have decided to commit themselves to causes that benefit black people.
What else would you call that? It damn sure ain't anti-black!
Motherfukkers get so caught up on the optics of shyt, and can't think beyond the surface.
If someone is being destructive towards black people, then talk your shyt.

Frederick Douglas is not a good example of a man?
Frederick Douglass was half-white himself.
And I'm not going to call someone who was an abolitionist a "sell-out" or not "pro-black" but being born into slavery and turning around and marrying a white person?
Come on breh. He was cheating on his first black wife the entire time with two other white abolitionists. Really not a good example man. If he is Pro-Black to you then so be it but his personal life is pretty embarrassing as a black man.
Really? Freddy Doug? Cause he was getting pasty buns?
So fukk what he stood for and his work to get his people free?
Stop it... Double check... Y'all nikkas never met no one as thorough as FD to talk that bullshyt...
Can't believe y'all disrespectful nikkas fix your mouth to kick dirt on FD....
Blasphemy!!!!

You may have love of black people, but you can't reasonably be considered pro-black and start a family with a non black woman.
Crispy has never claimed to be pro-black, so why does that matter?
Calm down breh. That is a post from 6 years ago from poster who has less than 815 posts.

I don't check dates...
...I just unload my clip.
I think he's right actually. If you consider the definition of "pro", it's: an argument or evidence in affirmation/the affirmative side or one holding it and in favor or a proponent of.
So if you consider those definitions being pro-black, means to uphold/affirm the betterment of black peoples, to be in favor of blackness and black people(from a racial standpoint). If that is the case, then how could that not extend to your choice in spouse? Yes you can you affirm/uphold the betterment of black peoples, by donating to causes, supporting causes, hiring black workers, but how can you demonstrate that you are in favor of your race, when you marry someone or favor a group of women or men that are not? The very idea of being in favor of "blackness", and "upholding" it in your day to day life, wouldn't just, IMO, extend to supporting black businesses and black people(although these are evidence that you support black causes), rather it would also extend to who you chose to commit to, bring children in the world with, provide for, and so on.
Another take: you can't really describe yourself as patient person, if in every area your patient BUT when it comes to dating(for instance) and finding a man you are impatient--because anyone who knows how desperate and impatient you are would beg to differ. They aren't seeing those other parts of your life, and even if they did, the impatience they see from dating would still have weight in their eyes. Likewise, you can't say your pro-black, if you uphold it in every way BUT your spouse and the family you create with your spouse.
I feel for the people who want to call themselves "pro-black" but are married to another race or for whatever reason prefer another race. No matter what they do to try to "compensate" for their preferences--including speaking on black issues, donating to black causes, etc--they will be judged for not having a black spouse. This is why you see a lot of people lash out at these black men, and/or black women that try to speak on black issues but that are married to non-black spouses.
Truthfully, if you think about it on deep level, who you chose to marry, should and is typically a reflection of you. People will look at your spouse and draw conclusions about you. Just as they do your children. It may not be fair, in every case, but it is what it is.
