What actions or character has to do with race?

they are more important than race

race should have no bearing on an individual choosing to be righteous

i understand most people don't see it that way though

Why are we called “black” when our skin is brown?

Don’t you think “black” is derogatory like the word like “nikka”?

@MMA Mo you ask why? Why what exactly.

Why did I make this thread?

Why do I feel this way?

If you have one drop of non-black blood you are not black.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with not being black. We are all of us, after all, only human.

Edit:

Was inspired buy this thread - http://www.thecoli.com/threads/why-does-hollywood-cast-biracial-people-as-black-people.630447

It seems all other races are permitted to be proud of their race. But its a problem to some when black people are proud of their various shades of brown skin and coily hair.

But it seems some black people get upset at the thought that there are actually black people who are proud of being full black and value that blackness.

Not all black people hate blackness and want to erase it or assimilate so that other races wont notice our blackness and accept us.

I have biracial nieces and nephews and full black neices and nephews. I love them equally but I cant pretend that they are all full black.

I dont think more or less of any person based on their race.

But I also wont lie that I'm black and proud of my and other peoples blackness.

Before I read another post I will ask for your personal numbers.

Surely someone else has asked, and surely you've provided reciepts

And i totally agree with you.
But, OP is talking about race, not personality/character.

Lol. My 4 year old can't reconcile the word "black" and brown skin, she was asking this the other day.

Would black people world wide care enough to insist on a change to brown.

Lol at people who arent brown coloured being the ones called "brown people".

To me, if you have a non black parent, i can't see you as a black person, you're mixed, and there's nothing wrong about it.

 

[TheOriginal]

OP are you american? Probably not.

 

[Yo Mama]

Black is Black

I agree.

Just as white is white...

Asian is asian...

Whatever race is whatever race...

But!!!! Black isnt inportant enough to be exclusive. Its the lowest on the totem pole so heck anyone can claim in.

Personal numbers? Like proof that Im black?

I don't understand why some people feel that being called biracial is an insult.

Or if a biracial person states that they are biracial some feel that its somehow an insult to black people.
