1. Genetic markers? Sure. To a point.Your genetic markers, culture and phenotype might as well
2. Culture? Debatable and ultimately arbitrary
3. Phenotype? Shaky ground and ultimately pointless.

My point is to bring up a question:You're an American African, not a color, deal with it.
How do you select who gets admission to the school AND get that admission protected from infringement from the government or social opinion.
Forgive me, but
are you talkin bout? Your ancestors are African, many of the foundations of yall culture is African, yall got soul like an African, yall a member of the original man family. Don't let these cacs make you believe you're just a color and nothin more. 
He speaks on subjects beyond his education with authority. Agriculture? Biology? Neuroscience? Technology?
He isn't transparent with his handling of donations
He hasn't done any kind of psych lab to back-up his supposed (pseudo) science of Black people
He avoids criticism at all cost and his lackeys are quick to call any person who disagrees a plant or agent of disinformation
This!
1. ancestor? Sure ALL humans have "african" ancestorsForgive me, but
2. I'm a bit of a nihilist so all this "culture" talk is meaningless to me
3. soul? Yeah. Thats more magic talk
4. original man? Yeah ALL humans are linked to that.
Only question that's left is why you even give a fukk about subjects like this? This sounds like a kumbayaa my lord newblack neo negroism type of position to take.
I really hate the notion of race. It doesn't exist.Only question that's left is why you even give a fukk about subjects like this? This sounds like a kumbayaa my lord newblack neo negroism type of position to take.
I don't remember I'm black until someone or something reminds me. I don't think about it and i damn sure don't dwell on it.
When necessary I speak out against any sort of racism, but I damn sure try not to let it define me.
Do you understand my argument?
So when I hear about this stuff I'm like...what is an "african student?"
being of indigenous African origin is not a race.
You don't get it
We're all human.
Do you get that? "Indigeous afican" shyt doesn't matter. At what point does that dilute? Cause you're playing with magic right now. Is only dating "black" keeping "africa" alive? which black people get to keep you on the "africa" vein?
Do you not see how flawed this sort of pseudoanthropological view becomes?
So while I champion efforts that are ANTI-racist, its part of the reason i can't really ever bring myself to FULLY supporting a school like this. Its like...why can't we just improve what we have?
I have this internal conflict about elevating one over the other.

lol, well you can believe race "doesn't exist" if you'd like but that's wishful thinking especially in this society. Not to make a religious comparison, but the best trick of the devil is convincing people he don't exist. The actions of this nation speak to a totally different truth, but it's safer to try to blend in than willingly stand out.
