Is there any data on what percentage of opportunities meant for blacks go to biracials?

[Originalman]

Agree.

sort of related

George Jefferson use to scream on "biracial" Jenny and call her a zebra.

If you asked 100 people who never watched the show to look at this photo and to pick out the actor playing the biracial character, I'm sure at least 99 would point to Mr. J.

*watched recent episode and realized that Jenny was bad as hell.

Truth and also the sista that played jenny was one of the most beautiful women to be on TV ever (and she still is beautiful even at an old age). Her and the sister that played thelma.

I said this before and I will say it again. They don't have naturally beautiful sistas on tv like they did the 70s and 80s. These women on tv now are so made up (no matter the race) from make up to surgery and etc.

Also in the 70s black folks didn't play that shyt they play now. The black audience demanded black representation and they wanted folks that looked like them. Thats why those shows had regular looking black folks in terms of skin color, hair and size.

Back in the day we did not debate who was black even if the person was biracial. A lot of the biracial stuff did not come into play until white women started having kids by us
In numbers.

@Houston911 got these future Caucasians furious for asking a simple question.

well robin thicke did say, and I quote - “I’m raising a black son”

He could put black on his college application and reference his black* mother if he got audited and they would let it slide

Thread does not makes sense seeing that America has never had a biracial class.

Even using the 100% black vs everyone else formula its impossible to tell because I doubt the data exists for that. They might be able to breakdown the racial makeup of lets say a company, but not the racial makeup of who applied for a job there. Like lets say theres a business with 10 employees, and 3 are black. So that's 30 percent. But lets say that those 3 were the only black ones that applied. And 20 others applied but only 7 got in. So if the 3 that are black got in and not even half of the others got in, then nobody is gonna know that cuz they can only see what the company has, not what was applied. So yeah this question will likely be impossible to determine.

yup. sad thing is we know that's how it's going down. black people are going to regret letting white people dictate the terms of what it means to be black with that one drop rule nonsense. the mistake was letting the paula pattons of america call themselves black when they are near white bi-racials to begin with.

if they did a study on the complexion of what was considered the average black person's skin tone from decade to decade you'll see a whitening going on. the real bleaching isn't from some soap or creme, it's sex.

Skin tone more important than educational background for African Americans seeking jobs

In hiring, racial bias is still a problem. But not always for reasons you think

Even if u are perceived as looking whiter...u don’t even have to actually be biracial.

This post makes no sense because the idea of what black is has always included people of different complexion.

 

[xoxodede]

This is a valid question.

 

[Houston911]

This is a valid question.

there are dudes on this site who said if they were required to give up their pawg in order to get their reparations check (300k), they would decline the check

should the children of men with mentalities like this benefit from programs intended to help the black community?

 

[Cadillac]

If they are of a Ados parent, then this is a no issue and a dumb thread

Now if you talking NonAdos biracials ok then.

That is something you could discuss

This is a valid question.

Only in terms of people who are NonAdos biracials. Like Demetria Obilor the "Traffic Bae" who is half Nigerian and white.

If your biracial but Ados. And been identifying as such Then it doesn't matter nor should this thread apply to them

I wouldn't even say it was that. The whole biracial term was a PC move and dividing of the race as it is with all these other new terms. Its all under the umbrella of your not really black. Just like this trans shyt or the LBGT or the educated black vs the poor black.

It is a numbers game and white folks have always played this game better than any other race on this planet (and history has shown this over the last 500 years). Which is the reason they rule the world. Cause while they pointing out difference between your group and you infighting. They ganging up amongst themselves forming like voltron, putting their differences asides and stealing the pie from under your nose. Then splitting it amoungst their own.

Think about this. White folks numbers are dwindling. Yet everyone else (black folks for example) are jumping to divide their power up. Yet at this very time white folks are consolidating their power to remain in charge for another 500 years.
