In the book Puddinhead Wilson by Mark Twain, An ex slave who has a white looking baby which looks just like massas' baby , one day switches the babys fooling massa into believing her baby is really his just so her baby can have a better life. Iceberg Slims novel Trick Baby is the story of a Black hustler who looks white and dwells in the white world. Law And Order even did an episode on a Caucasian looking Black Man who was able to fool everyone. But there is no story better then non fiction and I watched Mariah Carey play both sides with no issues. When Mariah Carey first came out she was considered Black to us. We claimed her and the elders had her in the same category as Vanessa Williams and Karyn White. On the flip side the pop world welcomed her image with open arms to the point her 3rd album sold over 30 Mil worldwide. . Mariah married a whiteman in the 90's and Black people were like "eh!" Pop had its soulful white looking princess in the 90's and the R&B was cool with whatever Mariah was doing And this is still playing out in 2018. Mariah literally has the complexion for the protection. Mariah Carey is what Rachel Dolezal wants to be.
Mariahs story is why I dismiss that nonsense talk about Drake being white. Black people were not dismissing Mariah as white in the early 90's like the trolls do with Drake in this decade. U ever notice, no one ever questions Mariahs Blackness like they do with Beyonce? U never hear, "whats Mariah doing for the Black community?" or "why is Mariah dying her hair to look like a white woman?"
