The concept of race isn't based on genetics or biology. Race is nothing but a social construct. You obviously don't understand what that means.

I dont know how it's a losing battle when the entire world (that I've personally traveled
) view mixed people as just that...mixed people, even forming their own countries and peoples (creoles/mestizo). Give it another 100 and watch it spawn in north america.

now u are backslidin and moonwalkin. Now u have switched the argument from the U.S to your travels throughout the world.
and sadly now, you are forcasting your thoughts about what potentially is gonna happen in 100 years? Have u forgot what the title of this thread is? its titled: CNN: Who is Black in America!
Racial constructs will contnue to be the same from now until eternity, u are just living in some made up fantasy world. U are not livin in the real world that everybody else lives in here in the US! But like I said, keep fightin your uphill battle tryin to convince yourself and other of your flawed position
Biracial isn't a race. The concept of race is not based on genetic makeup. The concept of race existed before the Jim Crow days.
What country do you live in? If you don't live in Amerikkka then you shouldn't argue with people who do over our racial issues.

This is exactly why black people will always claim mixed people. It benefits them to do so. They want mixed people to be grouped in with them so that they can boost their overall numbers and be able to claim their accomplishments. They want to be able to say that Obama is a black president, Halle Berry is a black female Oscar winner and so on.
Where would black people be today without mixed race people?

Unless they dont look like it.
Like Vin Diesel for example, is half black. But I've never heard anybody say he's Black.

vin deisel ...kris humphries..wentworth miller....none of these guys are considered "black" by hollywood....whereas they would have been 50 years ago. times are changing rapidly so that mixed people can claim what they actually ARE which is MIXED. and i'm glad my kids will have that option tbf.
Please stop perpetuating this nonsense. You only convince yourself of this idiocy because it makes you feel better. It's not about claiming anybody. Every person you named call themselves black you clown. Again, being black is nothing but a social construct. It's not about genetics or biology. Those people are "black" in our society because they are visibly of African descent. Why aren't you smart enough to understand that? Being "black" has never meant 100% African or person born from 2 100% black parents. People like you are trying to change what being "black" has always meant. The only reason that you fight the idea that mixed people are black is because you see black as being inferior. I say that mixed people like you along with traitors born from 2 "black" parents should be lined up and taken care of 1st if/when the ish hits the fan. Nobody's claiming people like you, you gets no love here wannabe white boy.

Here's my take on this, and I'm a Mixed Puerto Rican.
I don't go by the one drop black rule. I go by phenotypes. There's alot of people with Black blood in them that don't look Black.I don't have a problem calling Obama or Halle Berry Black, because they look Black. But you got mulattos that don't look Black. People like Drake, Kris Humphries, Vin Diesel, Derek Jeter.
Alot of people call me Black. While I've always acknowledged my Black ancestry, I never called myself Black because when I look at myself, I don't see a Black person
Here's another reason why I don't follow the one drop Black rule; Did you guys know that in Puerto Rico and other Latin American countries, they have a one drop white rule? If you have enough white ancestry in you, you could be considered white? Or at the very least a Mulatto. Sounds stupid right? And I agree that it's stupid. Can you really say that a one-drop white rule is stupid and but that a one-drop black rule is perfectly fine?
In the end though, if a bi-racial person identifies as Black, I won't object it or make a big deal out of it. Even if said person does not look Black in my view
