Mike Tirico on his :mjpls: again

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Except nobody seems to have a clear cut definition anymore as to what it means to be black or mulatto.

The one-drop rule gets applied around here based on the humidity and cloud formations of the day.

No there is a very clear distinction. People just play dumb

Tirico's story reminds me of the documentary on Lacey Schwartz.

Same deal: Her white mother had an affair with a black man, but mom claimed
that she inherited "dark" Jewish genes from her dad's side of the family. Her entire extended
family raised and treated her as a Jewish white girl.

She wasn't pegged as "black" until she applied for college.

damn reading up on her, the family used a sicilian grandparent to explain the darker color. sicilian roots have been used to cover up interracial baby making affairs for a long ass time.

Let's just call it what it is: if you not sure you black, you ain't move along, folks.

Let the nikka live...
Not everybody is Malcolm X. Thats his personal business. I like it better when they dont get into their personal lives. U commentate on grown nikkaz playing games. Or ur a big grown ass nikka running around throwing ballz thru hoops. I dont need u to have a social political stance/opinion/platform... if u do, cool.. put urself out there. if u dont, cool... do what u do.
Tirico still probly trying to deal with his sexual issues... and stay low from those past allegations

It takes being a Malcolm C type to acknowledge your dark skin makes you black??

Now you know its not that simple... acknowledging ur blackness as an athlete, entertainer, whatever now opens u up to other questions that maybe ur not comfortable answering. maybe he just feels comfortable being mike tirico "the commentator" .not Mike tirico "the black commentator"...
especially if he grew up with different races in his family, he might see himself more like them then a black person. Its is person preference

It's not that simple acknowledging being classified as black as an obviously black person now?
