Thanks.

I'm almost 10 years older than the oldest of them and two grew up in Dallas, (I grew up in Louisiana) so I wasn't around for the years where I would've had to. My youngest sister just graduated high school.

My point is, we ALL (black Americans) come in different shades, but can relate to one another due to culture and similar experiences.

I feel bad for a few mixed race dudes I've known either directly or through other people, later on in life, who felt no ties to their blackness because they weren't raised around black people. In some cases it was like they were afraid of their own people.

I agree many of my family members look "mixed" and so do I. But we all identify as Black. Black people come in all shades and have all types of hair texture. My grandfather can slick his hair back like Bryce Harper on the Nationals but he's black.
 
Yes biracial people are black. To what extent they claim depends on which side of their family they spent more time with. The divide between Black American culture and White American culture plays the biggest part in this. The mixed Americans that I've met that grew up with both sides of the families have told me that Blacks consider them not black enough and whites consider them too black, leading to the tragic mulatto syndrome

In other countries where there is a variety of shades and races but a singular unifying culture, one does not feel as forced to pick a side.
 
mixed people black

white people do give them more leniency tho because they are closer in pigmentation

theres a lot of white girls who wont **** wit straight up black guys, but theyll introduce a mixed guy to their parents, they still count them as black, but its not "that black" to them
 
Mixed people normally identify as black because black people are the most accepting people on earth.

Yeah sometimes it's light skin vs dark skin...But at the end of the day, it's all love.

i like this post. i agree with everything. like in spanish-speaking countries in carribbean, central & south america (which border the carribbean) the common culture has more to do with ethnicity (a combination of nationality, culture, language, history) than race specifically. not to say race isn't an important factor for some, but you see a lot more racial diversity yet more integration - at the end of the people are either just cuban, dominican, panamanian, etc
 
Depends how mixed you are.

If it's half and half it's pretty simple, you're black. Not to diminish the other half but it's pretty much going off those archaic and racist one drop of blood rule that was the law of the land for quite some time. Plus other than saying mixed which isn't specific for the layman it's easier to say you're black.

If you part Asian, white, black, etc. then you on that "I'm 1/16th Cherokee" steez

I can't wait until mixed ppl outnumber white ppl.

they can identify with whomever they choose. to white people, they'll always be black. To white people, blake griffin is black. He can get comfortable and forget if he wants. If he ever gets in trouble...they'll remind him.


Just look at Tiger. He was accepted fully. How quickly they turned on him.
