Physically, I guess it def makes sense. Also we all know Black people tend to not be as affected by aging as White folks. I'm 34 have people telling me i'm 27, and I'm mixed. And yeah, black genes are "stronger" than white ones as evidenced by the vast majority of mixed people looking more black than white. It also SEEMS to me that Black people are also in general more resistant imo to some illnesses. But that may just come from growing up in hardship for some.

HOWEVER, we all can see that does not translate in being "superior" to anyone, just different.
I think it's just that anyone with visible black ancestry is considered "black", not that mixed people necessarily look more black. But I would say that the hair texture usually leans towards black. Dark hair and eyes are dominant, but that goes for every race.

Something about the black race is obviously physically superior, you can see it in slowed aging, bone density, body mass, etc etc. Not sure that translates to being superior as a human being however :manny:

Nah, I'm not talking about the US "one-drop" rule, but the fact that all mixed (black + anything else) persons I've known look more like black people than otherwise. Hair, physical buildup, nose, lips, etc. Just based on those that I know, but even famous mixed persons (Bob Marley, Obama, etc) are more likely to pass for Black people than for White people.
