Black Americans benefit from Mixed Race

[Wesley Pipes quotes]

Why dont you list the hundreds of great Americans who had both black parents? Or the hundreds of fukked up mixed folks?

Drake, Mariah Carey, pilar sanders I aint proud of these goofy mufukkas

You yourself can start that thread.

The reason why I mentioned Pilar Sanders is specifically how full black women benefit from this classification when it comes to beauty standards.

.. so Ancient Kemet was just full of white people huh

Ancient Egyptians were not West African so the history of Ancient Egypt really has nothing to do with the descendants of slaves. What you are doing is like how Germany tried to take credit for the greatness of Rome and Greece. Same continent doesn't mean same people or history. They very well could have been black. Most likely they were and I agree that they were but they still were not West African so it's not your history.

 

[Wesley Pipes quotes]

Boy please. Speak on behalf of your black make counterparts only, Rashida Jones and Stacey Dash? Viola Davis and Kerry Washington are the most successful black actresses in Hollywood as of now. Maybe your argument is true for Black American men but Black American women are

We already spoke about this in the other thread and why I mentioned those women.

And I hardly would call Viola Davis successful. Her movie with Maggie Gyllenhaal had the worst opening weekend of all-time.

'Won't Back Down' Box Office Is The Worst Opening Ever

Kerry Washington is not a big box office draw although she has been successful on tv.

I started this new thread not to . I really want legit discussion and what people think would happen if mixed raced "blacks" got there own category.

That Mixed Raced meaning someone who has a parent of another race. I truly believe it would be devastating for Black Americans because a lot of achievements would be lost. The funny thing is as much as people want to get upset about that point they directly endorse it when they say "We are all mixed".

So why not allow Obama, Tiger, Paula, Bob and others move into their own category? If it's not that "big of a deal".

I actually agree. U do bring a valid point breh! no other race of people accept mixed people except for us! But good luck on having a legitimate discussion on the subject with the coli :shake:

It's black history. I didn't say it was west african history. White supremacist claim black people are nothing but savages who throw spears. The civilization(ancient kemet) which was built by black people...that is responsible for teaching Ancient Greek scholars, which is the foundation for the making of civilization today. The people that built Ancient Egypt look like Luol Deng, black people.

Where your silly premise breaks down is that those people do in fact have a black parent therefore if any credit is to be given to a race(which I think is stupid anyway) half of it still goes to black folks.

I can't even believe I'm having this conversation. I swear The Coli has just turned into a bunch if goofy nikkas tryin to start the most controversial topic to get a rise outa people.

at you nikkas

Stupid thread made by a person who really needs to read up on the history of African descended people in this country.

Mixed Blacks benefited just as much from being label Blacks as so-called Blacks.

And what are Stacey Dash and Rashida Jones doing? and lol at Viola Davis not being successful after being nominated twice for an Oscar.

But we all know blacks are the only one who take the credit. No other race goes as hard to claim the full achievements of mixed race person as blacks.

But why are they considered mixed "blacks" in this day and age.

Mixed "whites" ? Never will hear this.

Mixed "asians".? Never will hear this.

Again these terms only come about when talking to black Americans.

Don't give me that strawman. I didn't say Ancient Egypt wasn't black. I said African Americans have nothing to do with it. Sweden and France are both white countries in Europe. Do they have the same history? Do they have remotely the same culture? Not really. It was built by black people who weren't West African. The issue with black people is they think of Africa is this monolithic, homogenous entity when it's not.
I specifically said African Americans and not black Americans because African Americans are generally what people say to refer to the descendants of slaves. If you really think Egypt had anything to do with people living thousands of miles away on the Western Coast of Africa then I guess you can also tell me that Ancient Greece was built by Norwegians. That is essentially what you're doing. It's still black history but hey I guess what Germany did counts for all of Europe since it's white history, right? See when I use European countries you realize how dumb it sounds to paint an entire continent as a monolithic homogenous group.

So now we can't even be proud of black history? lol these coli people never cease to amaze the don

We already discussed this. Black women benefit from Stacey Dash, Rashida Jones, Pilar Sanders, Halle Berry, Paula Patton when it comes to the standards of beauty.
