there are plenty of black men in hollywood who speak out and are involved in black liberation in many configurations, but most of you don';t care anyway

 

[filial_piety]

Nope.

 

[@OffHalsted]

he is half black. but he still more pro black than alot of these nikkas on thecoli.

Pro black biracial to me.

Do yall lames know what pro black is?

 

[CoochieMane]

It's annoying that he thinks he's gone through the black experience in america and can speak for us when he has not and cannot

I think pro-black means that you are interested in black history and want a positive black community. being pro black family, supporting black businesses, etc. loving your blackness.

He is biracial. Biracial is not Black.

 

[DrunkenNovice]

What does he say he is?

 

[K.O.N.Y]

He's biracial. By AA standards his 1 black parent would need to be his mother to qualify as black. I'm sure in other black cultures he would be considered black, and others biracial, others mi no black papi

since when was this true

My outlook is thus:

Niqqa made a speech that resonates with most people on my TL.

I strongly believe that we CANNOT divide our cohort.. if we expect to win.

So I say Yes. He is.

I been seeing this crazy math on here about who qualifies.

Our cohort? I agree with what he said but accepting biracial people into the black cohort naturally contributes to further black mongrelization. It's anti-black at heart. So while I don't accept Jesse Williams as black, I agree with what he said.

 

[godkiller]

No matter what any black person thinks of him the dominant society in America will see him as black. My personal thought is it's what that person identifies as either mixed, black or white I can't tell someone who is mixed but claims black that they aren't.

I highly doubt Jesse Williams is treated like a black man or even really seen as one. I'll only go so far as to say I agree with what he said.

Do he live in a black neighborhood? Do his kids go to a black school/day care? etc..

Nah it means calling ppl c00ns and bedwenches. analyzing a person's blackness from their phenotypes
