America really needs a Biracial/Colored Distinction

[HopeKillCure]

Your talking about the caste system that was enforced by the apartheid regime

It was a power move made by whites who were and still are vastly outnumbered

Divide and conquer...

Colored people enjoyed being a buffer between blacks and whites. Obviously this doesn't benifit us as black people to have a layer or guard dogs between us and our oppressors. But what's even worse is to forcefully mix those guard dogs into a crowd of us, when they clearly don't identify with our group at all.

Nah, fukk that Colored shyt. Gone have America looking like South Africa and shyt.

England and South African brehs, how well has this Biracial/colored racial Category worked out for your respective communities?

I heard this was being pushed in the 90's & black folks were against it.

Nobody enjoyed apartheid breh ... Except whites....

That policy was enforced by the apartheid government ... It wasn't a choice made by coloured people, where cohesion existed before they were forcefully seperated.....
They were working class , they worked along side black people ... Miners had a specific dialogue they shared to hide what they were saying from whites .... Both coloureds and Africans make up the majority of those who live below the breadline in South Africa ...

That's my point exactly. If the one-drop rule had been implemented in Brazil, the Afro-Brazilians would've more power than they've right now because there's strength in numbers and that would make them about 30-35% of the population. However, because there's no one-drop rule and, pardos and the rest aren't classified as black - they don't really have the number to fight for a change. It's 2017, and they don't even have civil right laws in Brazil - that's how bad it's.

So, why do y'all want to break something that isn't broken and that's a blessing in disguise due to your own emotions? What happened to logic?

Just reading through this board - a lot of you need to get off your computers and get better education about how things work in the real world. Most of you sound like sheltered lames and kids who have never seen pums before, talking about things you don't understand and the ramifications on the bigger picture and grand scheme of things. I know y'all like to clown London but based on what I've seen on this board, at least 80% of you would get slapped everyday where I'm from in London.

Leave certain topics alone if you can't grasp the complexities.

I'm going to respond since it seems to be me you're coming at.

Personal attacks, I'll just step to the side of since I don't give a Shyte what some brace talking Coli fakkit thinks about me online. Nobody ever slapped me in life. No nikkah in London or anywhere else, but this the internet so I won't even defend that nonsense.

As for p*ssy, if you gotta talk about it like a accomplishment, then you either ain't getting it, or you hype off some ugly bum bytches that you and 10 other nikkahs share.

I asked about Brazil because I don't know anything about their setup there. Most people here rightfully think the 1 drop rule is fukking stupid because it turns the black community into a trash bin for every other race to dump their unwanteds. The power that people have in numbers is useless if those people are fighting among themselves and can't organize. 1000 organized nikkahs are way more useful than 10000 divided bickering and undermining nikkahs tearing each other apart.

I have family in the U.K. Birmingham which is way more bad man ends than fukking London. Y'all ain't saying Shyte. Stop it with the tough talk while walking on high street.

Nobody on this side of the ocean is calling the 1 drop rule a blessing for reasons that are too complex for you to understand properly.

I've heard many coloreds fought on the anti apartheid side. Obviously every non-white person was abused and mistreated because cacs gonna cac, but I think coloreds had a few more trinkets available to them.

Educate me breh. I'm not speaking on any of this as an expert. I'm listening, reading and trying to learn from others. I asked for opinions in the OP specifically, let me know more about the colored and black relationship in South Africa please

See what I mean, though?

We're not QUITE white, but we for damn sure ain't Black

You start creating these nikka gradations on the backdrop of white supremacy and nikkas gon find all kinda ways to loophole out of being Black.

This is absolutely true. It's been going on in Brazil for a long time. Paper bag and hair test in southern Africa .

A racial gradient system is a disastrous and counterproductive idea under a white supremacist system. I don't believe in the one drop rule, but it is what it is.

Wow. I think it so alien to people over here.

Even now I don't know how it would work. Besides people self identifiying, like they doing now with the new "mixed" category, there doesn't seem to be a willingness to make it 1 and only 1 catergory. You can combo black and white, you can combo
Mixed and white, you can combo mixed and black.

Okay, let's leave the side talks out of it but a lot of you on this board post like kids with no understanding of anything and how the real world works. It's like most of you just get on your parents' computer and start creating alternative realities for yourselves - with dumb posts. And allow the Brum talks, I know real Johnnies and Burger boys (certified gun men) in Aston, West Brom, and Handsworth/Winson Green (went to Uni there) and they know what time it's when a South London man comes through. Stop it. Let's leave that out of it.

Anyway, what you're clamoring for on here is what's fundamentally wrong with Brazil and what they're trying to fix. You need to read more and understand that number plays huge role when it comes to politics and organized systems of government. It's always a numbers game.

As for fighting: revolutions have never been about the whole population because no matter the classification, there will always be dissenting voices. It's always about a few like minded folks. Even if you're to make the blackest people identify as black, there are still going to be people who won't agree with you. Someone like Jason Whitlock and a lot of the c00ns on Fox News are proper black. but how has that stopped them from being c00ns? However, some of the most loyal people in the black struggle in the US are people who're less than 70% black. Frederick Douglass had a white father. Dubois was very light skinned. Angela Davis is mixed. Malcolm X's mom damn near looks white. Etc. Can you name people who were braver than these folks?

You can't solve complex issues with simplistic solutions induced by emotions. Think deeper, breh. It's a numbers game.

Plenty of coloured people involved in the struggle , even Indians , if you in the UK you might meet some , since they granted refugee status for South Africans back then

It's weird Coloured people have an entirely different culture breh .... A seperate culture ... It doesnt necessarily mean Biracial... Because 1st generation mixed people are not coloured...it's a culture and it consist of mixed South Africans of varying degrees and races ... There's coloured people in the cape that look like Asians and coloured people here that are really Just black ....you get me ?? It's a culture .., And there is racial tension between the two groups ... But I don't think it's as prominent today ....

I need to read up on policy as well breh ... But remember the shyt is and was a way to divide and conquer
