Do you consider DRAKE and his son BLACK?

[CrushedGroove]

Stawp it.

Right nah

 

[lib123]

No but they see them as better than black. The brown paper bag test was a thing for a reason, it was to create a buffer class.

Somewhat, the 'buffer class' was allowed in the house where they could get raped. A light-skin Black American is still treated like a Black American. There's never been a real Black buffer class in the US like in the Caribbean where lighter Black people got substantially more tangible land and resources.

Yes. Clearly being raised around white people has given him some privilege but he is still black at the end of the day. u cant carlton banks him out of it.

 

[HabitualChiller]

No. Drake is mixed and his son is mostly white.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Yes. Clearly being raised around white people has given him some privilege but he is still black at the end of the day. u cant carlton banks him out of it.

So a mixed person that grows up around black people is culturally black?

A mixed person that grows up around cacs is culturally white?

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

I consider him mixed and his son white

Drake & his son both would have been slaves

Native Americans were slaves at one point too. What's your point?

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

Drake is black, he’s light skinned but he’s black. His son is not black.

So a white skinned half Jew is black to you? This isn't making sense, if you consider drake black why not his son

I respect your opinion but in what world does Drake pass for black? Sure he likes and participates in AA black culture but he does not look like a black man at all.

Dude looks like a lighter skinned version of his pops.

Most children favor their parents to some extent. That doesn't make him black.

.....and if we keep it a buck, Drake is probably less than 50% black.

Unless his dad is Geechee, Drake pops is definitely less than 100% black. As an example, Don Cheadle is like 20% white and a lot of Kneegrows look much more "white-ish."

Drake might be 45% black tops. Dude looks Greek.

It’s legit dark comedy how Don Cheadle is 20% white
