Self hating would be denying half of their ancestry by claiming only to be black and denying the other half. That's self hatred.
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.
*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.
This......at this point in time everyone is pretty much biracial in some way shape or form.
Massa was having a field day behind his wife's back with alot of our big bootied female ancestors during slavery.
So they are black because a society that follows a racist ideology says that they are?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.
