You are ignorant. Just that simple really. They are black because some racist white supremacist 100 years ago with his pseudoscience said that they are? The one drop rule makes ZERO sense. The sole purpose behind it was to keep the white race pure.

no, they're BLACK, because that's how they're viewed in society. that's how they will be treated in society. they will never be seen as anything but BLACK. sure, they can stand before a mirror and drum up all kinds of reasons why they're not BLACK, but that will all change the minute they step outside into a society that sees them as nothing more but BLACK men and women.

have fun introducing your friends as "my bi-racial friend." let me know how white people respond to that.

Hold it right there.

You do realize that not too long ago American "society" viewed black people as not even fully human.

Did that make it true?

my only problem with the situation is when they look at being black as a bad thing. like that girl in the video that says she doesn't want to be looked at as "ghetto." she has a bad understanding of what being black is. the title of the documentary itself is offensive to me. like there is a problem with being black.

So they are black because a society that follows a racist ideology says that they are?

Good sir, I too find it very odd and slightly perturbing that the bi-racial beings put so much assertion into not being considered African-American. Why do they not protest to being known as Caucasian? Well, more than likely because society recognizes them as black. It is very odd to say "I'm not black damn it", when you are surely half, just half white as well. The presence of one race does not negate the other, from a gentleman's understanding.

Any African-American gentleman or lady who cannot see that they are trying to downplay the positivity of being African-American must be a slightly confused individual themselves.

Mah nikka why are you tryin so hard to be willfully naive? You and I bof know how most of da people in dat video are gonna be viewed in dis country. You can say you mixed wit dis dat n da other but when it comes down to it, they see yo fukkin skin aint white and it is what it is. Da prollem dat most of us in here have wit dat whole video concept is dat it's given off a message dat somehow being labled as being "black" is some kind of demeaning n terrible thing. Dat shyt is fukked up and stupid.

I have no problem w/ mixed people claiming to be mixed race. There are various degrees to the purity of blackness, those who are darker being closer to the original black race/ original human race. The problem is, when you look at it from that perspective many see the beauty in pure blackness, and the shame that comes knowing they have been thoroughly diluted.
